[0038] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the device structure of the hardware operating environment involved in the hearing aid search method of the present application.

[0039] The purpose, features and advantages of this application will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0041] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0042] Since only the Bluetooth tracking function of the hearing aid itself is used, it is difficult to search through the Bluetooth signal when the hearing aid is lost; and the hearing impairment of the user itself will make the hearing aid itself used for lost reminders often ineffective when the hearing aid is lost. Using the target electronic device as a temporary reminder device will not be limited by the user's hearing limitations, nor will it be limited by the hearing aid battery being exhausted, resulting in the inability to use the Bluetooth tracking function.

[0043] Therefore, this application obtains the usage data of each electronic device in the room through the hearing aid, and uses a prediction model to predict the electronic devices commonly used by the user (i.e., the target electronic devices). When the hearing aid is lost, the location where the hearing aid is lost is reminded through the commonly used devices, making it easier for the user to search for the hearing aid.

[0044] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment may be a hearing aid, or a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device, a processor, etc. capable of realizing the above functions. The following takes a hearing aid as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0045] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a search method for a hearing aid, which is applied to a hearing aid, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a search method for hearing aids according to the present application.

[0046] In some embodiments, the hearing aid may be a RIC (Receiver-In-Canal) type hearing aid.

[0047] In this embodiment, the search method for hearing aids includes steps S10 to S30:

[0048] Step S10, obtaining usage data of each electronic device, wherein the usage data includes usage frequency, usage duration and usage function;

[0049] It should be noted that hearing aids obtain usage data of electronic devices through various sensors. Usage data is data generated when users operate electronic devices, including frequency of use, duration of use, and functions used. These data can reflect the user's interaction patterns and preferences with the device.

[0050] Specifically, the frequency of use refers to the number of times a user uses an electronic device per unit time. For example, the number of times a refrigerator is opened in a day, or the number of times it is used in a week. The duration of use refers to the duration of each time a user uses an electronic device, which can be a single time or the cumulative time within a certain period. For example, the length of time a user turns on the air conditioner every day, or the total time the air conditioner is used continuously. The usage function refers to the specific usage function on the electronic device. For example, a microwave oven can make a loud and penetrating "ding" sound, the TV can cast the screen, and the voice assistant (such as Xiao Ai and Xiaodu) can perform vibration reminders, text floating screens, etc.

[0051] Step S20, performing prediction based on the usage data through a prediction model to obtain a target electronic device;

[0052] It should be noted that the prediction model is based on the usage data of electronic devices. Through algorithm analysis and learning, it can predict and identify electronic devices; the target electronic device has the function of prompting the location where the hearing aid is lost, including but not limited to flash screen reminders, vibration reminders, voice reminders... For example, the target electronic device can be a refrigerator, microwave oven, air conditioner, voice assistant, etc.

[0053] In a feasible implementation manner, before step S20, steps A10 to A20 are included:

[0054] Step A10, acquiring historical usage data of each electronic device and a corresponding historical target electronic device, wherein the historical usage data includes historical usage frequency, historical usage duration, and historical usage function;

[0055] It should be noted that in order to train the prediction model, it is necessary to obtain the historical usage data of each electronic device within a certain time range (such as one month, one week), and the historical usage data includes historical usage frequency, historical usage duration and historical usage functions; among which, the historical target electronic device can be one or more electronic devices specified by the user that generate the historical usage data.

[0056] Step A20: training the historical usage data and the historical target electronic devices to obtain a prediction model for screening target electronic devices.

[0057] It should be noted that the prediction model can predict which devices are more likely to become target electronic devices in future usage scenarios by learning the association between historical usage data and historical target electronic devices. The target electronic devices are more closely associated with the user and have a high probability of being used by the user, which can be used conveniently and accurately to remind the user of the lost location of the hearing aid.

[0058] In one embodiment, the training process generally involves dividing the data set into a training set and a test set, so that the model can learn patterns using the training set and verify its performance using the test set. By using the historical usage data and the historical target electronic devices as inputs for model training, the prediction model trained thereby can screen the target electronic devices.

[0059] It is understandable that through machine learning and data analysis, an intelligent and efficient device usage experience can be achieved.

[0060] In this embodiment, the prediction model can quickly filter out the target device from a large number of devices, thereby improving the efficiency of the screening process; based on historical data and model predictions, the target device can be selected more quickly and intuitively, so that the target device can provide efficient reminders when the hearing aid is lost, helping the user to retrieve the lost hearing aid more quickly.

[0061] Step S30, when it is determined that the hearing aid is lost, a positioning signal of the time of loss is sent to the target electronic device, wherein the target electronic device is used to prompt the lost location of the hearing aid at the time of loss.

[0062] It should be noted that the hearing aid can be determined to be lost in the following ways: when the built-in motion sensor of the hearing aid detects an abnormal state (such as being still for a long time or moving suddenly), it can be determined that the hearing aid may be lost; or when the communication status between the hearing aid and another electronic device is monitored, when the hearing aid is disconnected for more than a certain period of time, it can be determined that the hearing aid may be lost. The moment of loss refers to the moment when the hearing aid is determined to be lost, which is a point in time; when it is determined to be lost, the hearing aid will send a positioning signal of the moment of loss to the target electronic device. Once the location where the hearing aid is lost is determined, the target electronic device will prompt the user in various ways, including but not limited to visual prompts (such as displaying a location map of the hearing aid on a smartphone), sound prompts (such as a smart speaker playing a specific sound or information to indicate the location of the hearing aid), and vibration prompts (if the target device supports vibration, such as a smart watch or mobile phone, it can prompt the user through vibration).

[0063] In this embodiment, after obtaining the usage data of each electronic device, the usage data is analyzed using a predictive model to identify the target electronic device; when the hearing aid is lost, the user's other electronic devices can be used to provide location information in an indirect way, even if the hearing aid is lost or cannot be directly located, to help the user quickly find the hearing aid and reduce the inconvenience and loss caused by the loss.

[0064] In another feasible implementation, the search method for hearing aids further includes steps B10 to B40:

[0065] Step B10, determining whether the user is outdoors according to the location data;

[0066] It should be noted that the hearing aid obtains location data through the positioning sensor and determines whether the user is outdoors based on the location data. Since the hearing aid may be lost outdoors, the hearing aid is designed to collect location data.

[0067] Step B20, if the device is outdoors and is determined to be lost, obtaining historical loss data and historical behavior data when the device was lost;

[0068] It should be noted that outdoor means that the hearing aid is lost in an outdoor space; historical loss data refers to detailed records of past device loss events, including but not limited to the location, time, and method of recovery. Historical behavior data at the time of loss is a record of the user's activities in the period before the hearing aid was lost. This data may include the user's movement trajectory, visited places, activities performed, etc. By analyzing these historical behavior data, it is possible to infer the user's possible behavior when the loss occurred.

[0069] It is understandable that by analyzing historical loss data, high-incidence areas of hearing aid loss can be identified; combined with historical behavioral data at the time of loss, the user's behavior and the time of occurrence when the hearing aid was lost can be obtained, such as: taking a walk at 8 o'clock, running at 10 o'clock, sitting still at 14 o'clock, etc.

[0070] Step B30, obtaining the probability of loss under the preset behavior by presetting the neural network model;

[0071] It should be noted that the historical loss data and the historical behavior data at the time of loss are obtained through a preset neural network model to obtain the probability of hearing aid loss under different behaviors. For example, the probability of loss in running state is 80%, the probability of loss in walking state is 40%, and the probability of loss in sitting state is 5%.

[0072] The process of calculating the loss probability through a preset neural network model includes: extracting key features from the preset behavior, using the trained model, inputting feature data, and the model will output a probability value, indicating the possibility of device loss under the preset behavior. Based on the output probability value, the level of loss risk can be evaluated, and then corresponding preventive measures can be taken.

[0073] Step B40, when the preset behavior is detected, a loss reminder is issued.

[0074] It should be noted that when running behavior is detected, the user is reminded that loss will occur, allowing the user to take preventive measures in advance.

[0075] In this embodiment, the neural network-based prediction method can provide users with real-time risk warnings, helping users take measures to reduce the possibility of hearing aid loss. Through continuous learning and optimization, the preset neural network model can continuously improve its prediction accuracy and provide accurate data for hearing aid management.

[0076] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first embodiment can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 2 The method for determining the target electronic device further includes steps D10 to D20:

[0077] Step D10, scoring each electronic device according to preset rules to obtain a scoring result, wherein the preset rules include usage time, online time, preset usage probability, signal penetration capability and signal strength of each electronic device;

[0078] It should be noted that the preset rules are used to measure specific attributes of electronic devices, including usage time, online time, preset usage probability, signal penetration ability and signal strength; usage time refers to the actual usage time, reflecting the activity of the device; online time refers to the time the device remains connected to the network, reflecting the availability and stability of the device; preset usage probability refers to the probability of user use within a week or a month, such as the probability of refrigerator use is 100%, the probability of microwave oven use is 30%, etc., to screen users' commonly used electronic devices. Signal penetration ability The ability of device signals to penetrate obstacles (such as walls) reflects the performance of the device in complex environments. For example, when reminding the hearing aid where it is lost, the stronger the sound signal penetration ability, the greater the chance of being noticed by the user. Signal strength refers to the strength of the positioning signal sent by the hearing aid.

[0079] The specific rules for scoring include quantifying these rules, such as using time in hours, online time in days, and signal strength in dBm (decibel milliwatt, a unit of measurement), and then calculating the total score of each device or the sub-score of each performance based on these quantified values. For example: the usage time is A, the weight is α; the online time is B, the weight is β; the preset usage probability is C, the weight is γ; the signal penetration ability is E, the weight is δ; the signal strength is F, the weight is θ; the final score result is S, which is calculated by the following formula.

[0080]

[0081] The scoring result is a numerical value or grade obtained by evaluating each electronic device based on all the above rules. These results can be used to compare the performance of different devices and provide data support for reminding the lost hearing aid location.

[0082] In a feasible implementation manner, before step D10, steps E10 to E20 are included:

[0083] Step E10, recording interaction data with each electronic device, wherein the interaction data includes interaction data volume and connection times;

[0084] It should be noted that interaction data refers to the data generated during the interaction between the electronic device and the hearing aid, such as wireless connection; the interaction data volume is the amount of interactive data per unit time; the number of connections is the number of times the hearing aid successfully establishes a connection with the electronic device.

[0085] In another feasible implementation, step E10 includes steps T10 to T20:

[0086] Step T10, if the interaction with each electronic device is performed via a wireless connection, the generated data is direct interaction data;

[0087] It should be noted that wireless connection refers to the interaction between the hearing aid and various electronic devices through wireless networks (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, etc.); in the wireless connection scenario, each interaction between the hearing aid and each electronic device will generate data, and this data generated by wireless interaction is called direct interaction data.

[0088] Step T20: If the user interacts with each electronic device through voice commands, the generated data is indirect interaction data.

[0089] It should be noted that voice commands are a form of interaction where users interact with electronic devices through voice (e.g., please connect a hearing aid to a smart player). When users interact with electronic devices through voice commands, the data generated is defined as indirect interaction data. “Indirect” means that users do not interact with devices directly through physical operations, but through the medium of voice.

[0090] In this embodiment,

[0091] Step E20, determining the degree of dependence on each electronic device according to the interaction data, and adjusting the scoring weight of the preset rule according to the degree of dependence.

[0092] It should be noted that the degree of dependence of the hearing aid on the electronic device is determined based on the interaction data of the device, which is used to measure the importance of the electronic device to the user, so that electronic devices with high importance can be used as auxiliary devices for searching for hearing aids.

[0093] The specific steps of "determination" are: first, statistics are collected on the interaction data, such as mean, median, standard deviation, etc., to quantify the usage of the device; then, weights are assigned according to the importance of the indicators, such as data transmission volume may have a higher weight than the number of connections; finally, the dependency is scored using methods such as Z-score standardization or percentile ranking.

[0094] The weight in the scoring rule is the importance coefficient of each evaluation indicator, which determines the influence of each indicator when scoring. By analyzing the degree of dependence, these weights can be adjusted to make the scoring results more in line with actual needs and the true value of the equipment. For example: If it is found that the amount of interaction data and the number of connections between an electronic device and a hearing aid far exceed other devices, this indicates that the electronic device is a key electronic device, then the weight of indicators related to the interaction data, such as "usage time" and "online time", can be increased accordingly. On the contrary, if the degree of dependence of a certain device is low, the weight of its related indicators can be appropriately reduced to avoid giving it an over-rating in the scoring.

[0095] In this embodiment, by dynamically adjusting the scoring weight mechanism, it is possible to ensure that the scoring results more objectively and accurately reflect the actual degree of user dependence on each electronic device, and provide data support for selecting a suitable hearing aid. This not only enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the scoring system, but also improves the accuracy of the selection, which helps to more efficiently find the lost hearing aid.

[0096] Step D20: Screening and obtaining target electronic devices based on the scoring results.

[0097] It should be noted that the scoring results serve as a basis for evaluating whether a device can be used as a reminder device. Based on the scoring results, electronic devices with the highest scores are selected, and these electronic devices are considered to be the best electronic devices to be used as reminder devices.

[0098] In this embodiment, a comprehensive and objective evaluation of electronic devices can be achieved through a scoring mechanism, allowing users to make judgments based on the data and use it as a reminder device to search for hearing aids; screening based on the scoring results helps ensure that appropriate electronic devices are selected, thereby improving the success rate of the search and reducing the difficulty of the search.

[0099] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the search method of the present application for hearing aids. More simple transformations based on this technical concept are all within the protection scope of the present application.

[0100] This application also provides a search device for hearing aids, please refer to Figure 3 , the search device applied to the hearing aid comprises:

[0113] If the device is outdoors and is determined to be lost, the historical loss data and historical behavior data at the time of loss are obtained;

[0114] By presetting the neural network model, the probability of loss under the preset behavior is obtained;

[0115] When a preset behavior is detected, a reminder will be lost.
