[0044] 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.

[0045] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: if the data transmission process is triggered, the current power of the earphone unit is obtained;

[0046] Determine a hotspot earphone unit and an access earphone unit according to the current power, wherein the current power of the hotspot earphone unit is greater than the current power of the access earphone unit;

[0047] Based on the hotspot headset unit, a data transmission link is established with the access headset unit and the external connection device.

[0048] Specifically, when the data transmission process is triggered, the current power information of the headset is used to select the headset with higher power as the hotspot headset unit, and the other as the access headset unit. The hotspot headset unit is responsible for pairing and connecting with the mobile phone or the receiving device, and transmits the images captured or stored by itself and the images captured or stored by the access headset unit to the receiving device. At the same time, the access headset unit does not communicate directly with the receiving device, but transmits the captured images to the hotspot headset unit, which transmits them uniformly. Based on this, the hotspot headset unit for data transmission is dynamically adjusted according to the power information of the headset, thereby improving the overall battery life of the headset.

[0049] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the following description is made with the earphone as the execution subject.

[0050] In the prior art, the OWS headsets with visual function modules have independent batteries for the two headsets. When transmitting video and image data through the headsets, one of the headsets, such as the left headset, is usually used as the hotspot headset based on the factory setting parameters, and the data of the right headset is sent to the left headset, and the left headset sends the aggregated data to the user end. However, in actual use, the left headset usually consumes power faster, reducing the battery life of the headset.

[0051] The present application provides a solution, which uses the current power information of the earphones to dynamically select one of the earphone units as the hotspot earphone unit for data transmission and perform data transmission, thereby evenly distributing the power consumption of the two earphones and making their power consumption tend to be consistent, thereby extending the usage time of the earphone combination in the data transmission scenario and improving the battery life in the data transmission scenario.

[0052] 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.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling earphones, which is applied to earphones, wherein the earphones include two independent earphone units, and the earphones are wireless earphones, such as OWS earphones. The earphones are provided with a video module such as a camera, through which images or videos are captured, and the captured images or videos are transmitted to an external connection device based on a wireless transmission protocol such as Bluetooth or WiFi. The video module can be a detachable camera device such as a camera, or a fixed position camera device head that rotates based on a rotating component; the external connection device can be a device that is wirelessly connected to the earphones, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, etc.

[0054] Based on this, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the earphone control method of the present application.

[0055] In this embodiment, the headset control method includes steps S10 to S30:

[0056] Step S10: If the data transmission process is triggered, the current power level of the earphone unit is obtained.

[0057] It should be noted that the data transmission process refers to the process triggered when the pictures, videos, stored existing pictures or existing videos taken by the headset need to be transmitted to the user's mobile phone or tablet and other devices. Therefore, the data that needs to be transmitted by the data transmission process can be existing images and videos, or images and videos captured by the headset's camera in real time. The data transmission process can be intermittent, so after completing the data transmission corresponding to the current data transmission process, when a new transmission process is triggered and new data is transmitted, the current power of the headset unit is repeatedly obtained, so that the headset control program always selects the headset unit with higher power as the hotspot headset, thereby improving the overall battery life of the headset.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the data transmission process is triggered, data needs to be transmitted by wireless transmission. Therefore, the control program inside the headset can directly read the current power of the two earphone units of the wireless headset through the built-in power meter of the headset, so as to select the hotspot headset for wireless data transmission based on the current power. Optionally, the two earphone units can exchange power information via Bluetooth.

[0059] In another optional embodiment, the headset can respond to the user's operating instructions, such as instructions selected by the user on an application of an externally connected device, and can trigger the data transmission process at a set time point. It can also recognize the user's gesture information through a video module and trigger the data transmission process through a voice input module such as a voice signal detected by a microphone.

[0060] Specifically, the user operates on the control program of the externally connected device, such as in a third-party application associated with the headset, and selects a data transmission instruction that can control the headset to capture and share images. At this time, the headset responds to the instruction and triggers the data transmission process. Based on this, when the headset receives the data transmission instruction sent by the external device, the data transmission process is triggered.

[0061] Optionally, since the headset is provided with a video module, the headset can also recognize the user's gestures through the video module and determine whether to trigger the data transmission process based on the recognition results. For example, if the video module of the headset captures the user's gesture as a data transmission gesture, the headset triggers the data transmission process and transmits the data corresponding to the gesture.

[0062] Optionally, when the voice input module of the headset, such as a microphone, receives and recognizes a voice instruction for data transmission, an output transmission process is triggered.

[0063] Step S20, determining the hotspot earphone unit and the access earphone unit according to the current power level.

[0064] It should be noted that the hotspot earphone unit refers to the unit among the two independent earphone units that performs the main data transmission, and the access earphone unit refers to the other earphone unit except the hotspot earphone unit. The hotspot earphone unit is responsible for pairing and connecting with external connection devices such as mobile phones, and transmitting the images captured or stored by itself and the images captured or stored by the access earphone unit to the external connection device. At the same time, the access earphone unit does not communicate directly with the external connection device, but transmits the captured or existing images to the hotspot earphone unit, and the hotspot earphone unit performs data transmission in a unified manner.

[0065] In this embodiment, the hotspot earphone unit and the access earphone unit can be determined according to the current power level, that is, in order to ensure the stability and balance of the power consumption of the two earphone units when the earphones are transmitting data, by selecting the earphone unit with a higher current power as the hotspot earphone unit, the increase in overall power consumption caused by the low power of a single earphone unit can be avoided. Among them, when the power of an earphone unit is low, it may increase the power output in order to maintain normal operation, thereby accelerating the consumption of power. Using the earphone unit with a high power as the hotspot ear can allow the earphone unit with a low power to work at a lower power, thereby extending its use time.

[0066] It is understandable that if one earphone unit is always set as a fixed hotspot earphone unit, when the battery of this earphone unit is low, in order to meet the functional requirements of the hotspot, it will consume more power to maintain the connection and data transmission, resulting in one earphone being in normal use and the other earphone being in standby mode. Therefore, by selecting an earphone unit with higher power as the hotspot earphone unit, power resources can be reasonably allocated to ensure that the earphones can be used normally during the entire data transmission process, avoiding setting one of the earphone units as a fixed hotspot earphone unit, which causes the earphone to have low power when the data transmission stability is reduced due to low wireless signal transmission power, and reduces the overall battery life of the earphone during output transmission.

[0067] Optionally, if the current power levels of the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit are the same, one of the headset units can be selected as the hotspot headset unit based on pre-set parameters. Since the power consumption levels of the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit are different, the hotspot headset unit can be selected based on the power level when the data transmission process is triggered next time.

[0068] Step S30, based on the hotspot headset unit, a data transmission link is created with the access headset unit and an external connection device.

[0069] In this embodiment, after determining that the headset unit with higher power is the hotspot headset unit, a data transmission link for data transmission can be created. Specifically, the hotspot headset unit enters the hotspot mode, turns on the hotspot link for wireless hotspot transmission, and the connected headset unit can identify the hotspot and connect, while the external connection device such as a mobile phone can directly connect to the hotspot link created by the hotspot unit to perform data transmission.

[0070] It is understandable that, since the two earphone units are worn in different positions, the content captured by the video module is also different, and when the data transmission process is triggered, the data of the two earphone units needs to be transmitted. Therefore, it is necessary to create a data transmission link between the hotspot earphone unit and the access earphone unit.

[0071] Optionally, the data transmission link between the two earphone units is enabled by default, and after determining the hotspot earphone unit, the earphone unit can be connected by Bluetooth connection.

[0072] In this embodiment, a data transmission link is created between the hotspot earphone unit and the connected earphone unit and the external connection device. When data is transmitted, data can be transmitted based on the hotspot earphone unit with higher power, thereby avoiding fixing one earphone unit as the hotspot, resulting in poor battery life of the hotspot earphone and affecting the overall user experience of the earphone.

[0073] The present embodiment provides a method for controlling headphones. After the data transmission process is triggered, one of the headphone units is dynamically selected as the hotspot headphone unit for data transmission based on the current power information of the headphones, thereby evenly distributing the power consumption of the two headphones, making their power consumption tend to be consistent, and extending the usage time of the headphones in the data transmission scenario, thereby improving the battery life in the data transmission scenario.

[0074] 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 After step S30, the earphone control method further includes steps S40 to S50:

[0075] Step S40, based on the hotspot earphone unit receiving the first image information sent by the access earphone unit.

[0076] In this embodiment, after the data transmission link is established, the access headset unit is responsible for sending the first image information currently stored or captured in real time to the hotspot headset unit. The access headset unit and the hotspot headset unit can perform data transmission via Bluetooth, and the image information sent includes the captured pictures and / or the captured videos.

[0077] It is understandable that the access earphone unit does not communicate directly with the external connection device, but transmits the captured or existing image to the hotspot earphone unit, which uniformly transmits the data. That is, the earphone unit with low power and the hotspot earphone unit with higher power perform simple data transmission to balance the power consumption of the two earphone units.

[0078] Step S50, sending the first image information and the second image information associated with the hotspot headset unit to the external connection device.

[0079] In this embodiment, the image data of the connected earphone unit and the earphone data of the hotspot earphone unit are sent to the external connection device at one time through the hotspot earphone unit with higher power, so that the connected earphone unit with lower power can perform data transmission with lower power consumption, and the hotspot earphone unit with higher power can perform data transmission operations with higher power consumption, thereby effectively balancing the power consumption between the earphone units and improving the overall battery life of the earphone during data transmission processing.

[0080] This embodiment provides a method for controlling headphones, which sends the data of two headphone units to an external connection device based on the hotspot headphone unit, thereby balancing the power consumption of the hotspot headphone unit and the access headphone unit, and improving the overall battery life of the headphones in data transmission scenarios.

[0081] Based on the second embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those of the second embodiment can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 3 After step S50, the earphone control method further includes steps S60 to S70:

[0082] Step S60, obtaining the remaining power difference between the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit.

[0083] In this embodiment, after the data transmission link is established and transmission is performed, the remaining power difference between the hotspot earphone unit and the access earphone unit can be obtained in real time, so that when the hotspot earphone unit and the access earphone unit are transmitting data, the hotspot earphone unit and the access earphone unit can be switched based on the current remaining power difference.

[0084] It can be understood that since the power consumption levels corresponding to the actions performed by the connected earphone unit and the hotspot earphone unit are different, that is, the power consumption of the hotspot earphone unit is greater than that of the connected earphone unit, after the data transmission link is established, the mode of the hotspot earphone unit and the connected earphone unit can be effectively switched based on the remaining power difference obtained in real time, thereby balancing the overall power consumption of the earphone and improving the battery life of the earphone in the data transmission scenario.

[0085] Step S70, if the remaining power difference is less than a preset difference, control the access headset unit to switch to hotspot mode, and control the hotspot headset unit to switch to access mode.

[0086] In this embodiment, after the data transmission link is established and data transmission is performed, the power reduction value of the hotspot headset unit is greater than that of the access headset unit. Therefore, when the difference in remaining power between the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit is less than a preset difference, for example, less than zero, it indicates that with the passage of time and the transmission of data, the current power information of the hotspot headset unit is less than that of the access headset. At this time, in order to avoid the overall battery life of the headset being reduced when the headset unit with lower power continues to be transmitted as the hotspot headset unit, it is necessary to control the access headset unit to switch to the hotspot mode, and at the same time control the hotspot headset unit to switch to the access mode, so that the original access headset unit is used as the hotspot for data transmission, and then the hotspot headset unit can be dynamically selected based on the real-time power information, thereby improving the overall battery life of the headset.

[0087] Based on the third embodiment of the present application, in the fourth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the third embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be described in detail later. On this basis, after step S60 obtains the remaining power difference between the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit, if the remaining power difference is less than the preset difference, when switching the modes of the access headset unit and the hotspot headset unit, it is also necessary to determine the current transmission state, for example, when the current data transmission state is a pause state, the steps of controlling the access headset unit to switch to the hotspot mode and controlling the hotspot headset unit to switch to the access mode are executed.

[0088] Optionally, if the remaining power difference is less than a preset difference and the data transmission state is not in a paused state, when switching modes, the hotspot headset can first cache the data to be sent at the current moment, and then switch modes. Alternatively, the current moment can be recorded, the mode switch can be completed first, and then data transmission can be resumed based on the recorded current moment.

[0089] Therefore, as an optional implementation, if the data transmission state is a non-pause state, the data to be sent by the hotspot headset at the current moment is cached, and the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit are controlled to switch modes. After the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit complete the mode switching, the cached data is transmitted to the new hotspot headset unit, and the switched hotspot headset unit performs data transmission processing to realize dynamic switching of the hotspot headset mode and improve the overall cruising capability of the headset.

[0090] Optionally, if the data transmission state is not in a paused state, the current moment is used as the transmission breakpoint moment, data transmission is stopped, and the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit are controlled to switch modes. Then, after the hotspot headset unit and the access headset unit complete the mode switching, the data transmission state is entered, and transmission processing is performed based on the data at the transmission breakpoint moment. Among them, the transmission breakpoint moment is usually the moment after the transmission of a certain image is completed. For example, if ten images need to be transmitted, the transmission breakpoint moment can be the moment corresponding to the completion of the transmission of the third image. Based on this, data transmission errors or omissions are avoided.

[0091] Optionally, after obtaining the remaining power difference, when the remaining power is less than the preset difference, in addition to directly switching the function of the earphone unit, in order to avoid frequent mode switching due to power changes, it can be determined whether the current remaining power of the hotspot earphone unit is less than the preset mode switching power. For example, the initial power of the hotspot earphone unit is 95%, the initial power of the access earphone unit is 85%, and the preset mode switching power is set to 60%. During the transmission process, at a certain moment, the power of the hotspot earphone unit is 69%, and the power of the access earphone unit is 70%. If the mode is switched directly at this time, the hotspot earphone unit and the access earphone unit will be frequently switched due to the constant change of power levels in the next period of time, making the power consumption unstable and further reducing the overall endurance of the earphone. Based on this, by setting the preset mode switching power, when the current power is lower than the preset mode switching power, the steps of controlling the access earphone unit to switch to the hotspot mode and the hotspot earphone unit to switch to the access mode are executed to ensure the stability of data transmission. Among them, the preset mode switching power can be set based on the initial power or based on the actual power demand, which is not limited here.

[0092] The present embodiment provides a method for controlling headphones. When switching the modes of the hotspot headphone unit and the access headphone unit, analysis and judgment are performed based on the current remaining power information and the current data transmission status. Therefore, when switching the modes of the hotspot headphone unit and the access headphone unit, the data being transmitted will not be greatly affected. At the same time, based on the preset power, frequent mode switching of the current access headphone unit and the hotspot headphone unit can be avoided, thereby improving the overall battery life of the headphones.

[0093] Based on any of the above embodiments, after triggering the data transmission process and obtaining the current power of the earphone unit, if the current power is lower than the preset power, for example, the preset power is 15%, in the low power state, when the hotspot earphone unit performs data transmission, the data transmission efficiency may be reduced due to the low power, or the service life of the earphone may be reduced when data transmission processing is performed in the low power state. Based on this, the charging compartment of the earphone unit can be used as a hotspot module, and both earphone units enter a low-power access mode to effectively complete the data transmission, that is, if the current power of the earphone unit is lower than the preset power, the hotspot module of the charging compartment of the earphone unit is started, and a data transmission link between the earphone unit and the charging compartment is established. Using the charging compartment as a transmission hotspot, the earphone can establish a connection with the charging compartment and perform data transmission, and the charging compartment can also provide a charging function for the earphone unit. In this way, the earphone can replenish power in time while transmitting data, thereby extending the overall battery life of the earphone.

[0094] The present application provides an earphone, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the earphone control method in the above-mentioned first embodiment.
