[0041] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0042] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present application, its application, or uses.

[0043] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0044] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0045] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0046] The present application provides a first earphone, which is specifically a left earphone or a right earphone in a wireless earphone, and the wireless earphone can be exemplarily a TWS earphone.

[0047] Among them, the first headset Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first Bluetooth chip 11, a first magnetic switch 12 and a first battery 13, and the first magnetic switch 12 is connected between the power supply of the first Bluetooth chip 11 and the power supply end of the first battery 13;

[0048] The first earphone is stored and charged by the earphone charging box, in which a magnet is provided. The first magnetic switch 12 is disconnected when a magnetic signal of the magnet is sensed, and is turned on when no magnetic signal is sensed.

[0049] In this embodiment, there is at least one magnet in the earphone charging case, and the magnet mentioned in this application is a general term for the magnets in the earphone charging case, that is, there is no limitation on the specific magnet generated by the following magnetic signal.

[0050] The first Bluetooth chip 11 is not only the computing control part of the first headset, but also the communication part of the first headset with external devices (such as a mobile phone, a headset charging compartment, and a second headset paired with it). The first battery 13 is used to supply power to the first Bluetooth chip 11. The first magnetic switch 12 is disconnected when a magnet signal is sensed, and is turned on when no magnet signal is sensed.

[0051] Based on the above content, when the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment, the first magnetic switch 12 is away from the magnet set on the earphone charging compartment. Therefore, the first magnetic switch 12 cannot sense the magnet signal and is in an on state. At this time, a path is formed between the first battery 13 and the first Bluetooth chip 11, and the first battery 13 supplies power to the first Bluetooth chip 11. The first Bluetooth chip 11 can work normally, that is, the first earphone can be turned on and work normally. In this way, the first earphone can be turned on immediately when it is taken out of the earphone charging compartment. Compared with the traditional technology that the earphone charging compartment needs to be opened for a few seconds before the earphone can be turned on after the earphone is taken out, it can be turned on faster.

[0052] When the first earphone is put back into the earphone charging compartment, the first magnetic switch 12 is close to the magnet set on the earphone charging compartment. Therefore, the first magnetic switch 12 senses the magnet signal and is in a disconnected state. At this time, the circuit between the first battery 13 and the first Bluetooth chip 11 is broken, and the first battery 13 cannot supply power to the first Bluetooth chip 11. The first Bluetooth chip 11 cannot work normally, that is, the first earphone is shut down due to power failure. In other words, the first earphone provided by the present application can be shut down immediately after the first earphone is put back into the earphone charging compartment. Compared with the traditional technology that requires additional standby time after the earphone is put back into the charging compartment, the power consumption can be greatly reduced.

[0053] The present application provides a first headset, a first Bluetooth chip, a first magnetic switch and a first battery, wherein: the first magnetic switch is connected between the power supply end of the first Bluetooth chip and the power supply end of the first battery; the first headset is stored and charged by a headset charging compartment, and a magnet is provided in the headset charging compartment, and the first magnetic switch is disconnected when a magnet signal of the magnet is sensed, and the first magnetic switch is turned on when no magnet signal is sensed. The first headset provided by the present application can be turned off immediately after the first headset is put back into the headset charging compartment, which can greatly reduce power consumption compared to the traditional technology that requires additional standby after the headset is put back into the charging compartment. In addition, the first headset provided by the present application can also be turned on immediately when the first headset is taken out of the headset charging compartment. This can be turned on faster than the traditional technology that requires a delay of several seconds after the headset charging compartment is opened and the headset can be turned on after the headset is taken out.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2As shown, the enable end of the first magnetic switch 12 is connected to the first signal output end of the first Bluetooth chip 11, and the first Bluetooth chip 11 is used to perform the following steps S1 and S2.

[0055] Step S1, after the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging case, when it is determined that the first earphone is in use within a first preset time period, the first magnetic switch 12 is controlled to be enabled, and the first magnetic switch 12 is turned on when enabled.

[0056] Step S2: when it is determined that the first earphone is continuously unused for a first preset time period, the first magnetic switch 12 is controlled to stop being enabled.

[0057] The first preset time length is the maximum time length during which the first headset is allowed to be in an unused state when the user uses the first headset. In one example, the first preset time length is 0.5 hours.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first signal output end of the first Bluetooth chip 11 is connected to the enable end of the first magnetic switch 12, which is used to control the first magnetic switch 12 to enable or stop enabling. Specifically: when the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment, the first magnetic switch 12 is turned on, the first battery 13 supplies power to the first Bluetooth chip 11, the first Bluetooth chip 11 works, and the first earphone is turned on. In this case, further, if the first earphone is continuously unused for a first preset time, it means that the user is likely to no longer use the first earphone, and there is a possibility of putting the first earphone back into the earphone charging compartment later. At this time, the first Bluetooth chip 11 controls the first magnetic switch 12 to stop enabling. In this case, the first magnetic switch is turned on and off according to whether the magnet signal is sensed. If the first earphone is not put back into the earphone charging compartment, that is, the first magnetic switch 12 is not close to the magnet set on the earphone charging compartment, the first magnetic switch 12 does not detect the magnet signal, and is continuously in the on state, and the first battery 13 supplies power to the first Bluetooth chip 11. If the first earphone is put back into the earphone charging compartment, that is, the first magnetic switch 12 is close to the magnet set on the earphone charging compartment, the first magnetic switch 12 detects the magnet signal and is in a disconnected state, the first battery 13 cannot supply power to the first Bluetooth chip 11, and the first earphone is shut down due to power failure. In this way, the first earphone can be shut down immediately after being put back into the earphone charging compartment, which is compared with the traditional technology that the earphone needs to be shut down after being put back into the charging compartment, and the power consumption can be greatly reduced.

[0059] Correspondingly, after the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment, if it is determined that the first earphone is in use within the first preset time period, it means that the user has the possibility of using the first earphone. In this case, the first Bluetooth chip 11 controls the first magnetic switch 12 to be enabled, and the first magnetic switch 12 is turned on. Since the priority of turning on the first magnetic switch 12 when enabled is higher than the induction of the first magnetic switch 12 to the magnet signal, the first magnetic switch 12 will remain in the on state even if it is close to the magnet to detect the magnet signal. In this way, it can be avoided that the first magnetic switch 12 is disconnected due to the detection of the magnet signal as interference, thereby disconnecting the path between the first battery 13 and the first Bluetooth chip 11, and the first earphone is powered off and shut down.

[0060] Based on the above content, it can be known that, when the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment, the first magnetic switch 12 is turned on, the first battery 13 supplies power to the first Bluetooth chip 11, the first Bluetooth chip 11 works, and the first earphone is turned on. Therefore, when the first earphone is turned on, it can be determined that the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment. Based on this, the first earphone provided by the present application also provides a new method for determining that the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the first earphone provided in the present application further includes: a first charging chip 14, wherein:

[0062] The power output terminal of the first charging chip 14 is connected to the power terminal of the first battery 13 , and the signal input terminal of the first charging chip 14 is connected to the second signal output terminal of the first Bluetooth chip 11 .

[0063] In this embodiment, the signal input end of the first charging chip 14 is connected to the second signal output end of the first Bluetooth chip 11, and is used to receive the charging information sent by the first Bluetooth chip 11. The first charging chip 14 converts the charging power provided by the headset charging compartment according to the charging information sent by the first Bluetooth chip 11, and obtains the converted charging power to charge the first battery 13.

[0064] Based on Figure 2 From the structure of the first earphone shown, it can be seen that the first magnetic switch 12 is not disposed between the first charging chip 14 and the first battery 13, or between the first charging chip 14 and the first Bluetooth chip 11, so the charging function of the first charging chip is not affected.

[0065] For the above-mentioned first earphone, the present application also provides an earphone control method, which is applied to any of the first earphones provided in the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the following steps S3100 and S3200 are included.

[0066] Step S3100: After the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging case, when it is determined that the first earphone is in use within a first preset time period, the first magnetic switch is enabled, and the first magnetic switch is turned on.

[0067] Step S3200: When it is determined that the first earphone is continuously unused for a first preset time period, the first magnetic switch is controlled to stop being enabled.

[0068] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the above step S3100 is the same as the specific implementation of the above step S1, and the specific implementation of the above step S3200 is the same as the specific implementation of the above step S2, which will not be repeated here.

[0069] Based on the above steps S3100 and S3200, the first earphone can be turned off immediately after being put back into the earphone charging compartment, which greatly reduces power consumption compared to the traditional technology that requires additional standby after the earphone is put back into the charging compartment. In addition, it can also avoid the situation where the first magnetic switch 12 is disconnected due to detecting the interference of the magnet signal, thereby disconnecting the path between the first battery 13 and the first Bluetooth chip 11, and the first earphone is powered off and turned off.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present application, the earphone control method provided by the present application further includes the following steps S3310 to S3313 before the above-mentioned steps S3100 and S3200.

[0071] Step S3310 , determining whether valid data is transmitted on the Bluetooth path established by the first Bluetooth chip 11 .

[0072] In this embodiment, when the first Bluetooth chip 11 is powered by the first battery 13, the first Bluetooth chip 11 establishes a Bluetooth channel with other electronic devices (such as a user's mobile phone). The Bluetooth channel is used to transmit valid data, such as audio data, control instructions, etc.

[0073] Step S3311: if no, determine the duration of time when no valid data is transmitted on the Bluetooth channel.

[0074] In this embodiment, when no valid data is transmitted on the Bluetooth path established by the first Bluetooth chip 11, the duration of no valid data transmission is timed.

[0075] Step S3312: When the duration reaches the first preset duration, determine that the first headset is continuously in an unused state for the first preset duration.

[0076] Step S3313: When valid data is transmitted on the Bluetooth channel, determine that the first headset is in use within a first preset time period.

[0077] Based on the above steps S3310 to S3313, a method for determining that the first headset is in use within the first preset time period and the first headset is in use within the first preset time period is provided.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present application, the earphone control method provided in the present application further includes the following step S3400.

[0079] Step S3400, after the first earphone is taken out of the earphone compartment, if it is determined that the first earphone is continuously unused for a second preset time period, the first earphone is controlled to be turned off, and the second preset time period is greater than the first preset time period.

[0080] The second preset duration is greater than the first preset duration.

[0081] In one example, the second preset duration is 2 hours.

[0082] In this embodiment, after the first earphone is taken out of the earphone compartment, if it is determined that the first earphone is continuously unused for a second preset time period, it means that the first earphone is in long-term standby mode and the user no longer uses the first earphone. In this case, the first earphone is controlled to be turned off, so that the power consumption of the first earphone can be further reduced.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, the above step S3200 is specifically implemented by the following step S3210.

[0084] Step S3210, when it is determined that the first earphone is continuously in an unused state within a first preset time period, sending an indication message to a second earphone paired with the first earphone, and controlling the first magnetic switch 12 to stop being enabled, wherein the indication message is used to instruct the second earphone to control the second magnetic switch to stop being enabled;

[0085] The second earphone includes: a second Bluetooth chip, a second magnetic switch and a second battery, the second magnetic switch is connected between the power supply end of the second Bluetooth chip and the power supply end of the second battery, and the enable end of the second magnetic switch is connected to the first signal output end of the second Bluetooth chip, and the second Bluetooth chip controls the second magnetic switch to stop enabling when receiving the indication information.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first earphone is used in conjunction with the second earphone, and the first earphone is used as the main earphone. On the basis that the first earphone and the second earphone are usually in the same use state, after the first earphone is removed from the earphone charging compartment, if it is determined that the first earphone has been in an unused state for a first preset time, the first earphone controls the first magnetic switch 12 to stop enabling and can also send an instruction message to the second earphone paired with the first earphone to instruct the second earphone to control the second magnetic switch to stop enabling. At this time, the first earphone and the second earphone maintain the same state.

[0087] It should be noted that, when the second earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment but no instruction information sent by the first earphone is received, the second Bluetooth chip controls the second magnetic switch to be enabled.

[0088] In this embodiment, the second earphone serves as a slave earphone, and there is no need for the second earphone to be in use for the first preset time period as shown in the above steps S3310 to S3313, which can reduce the power consumption of the second earphone.

[0089] The present application also provides an earphone control device 400, which is applied to the first earphone provided in any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the control device 400 of the headset includes:

[0090] A first control module 410 is configured to control the first magnetic switch to be enabled after the first earphone is taken out of the earphone charging compartment and, if it is determined that the first earphone is in use within a first preset time period, the first magnetic switch is turned on when enabled;

[0091] The second control module 420 is configured to control the first magnetic switch to stop being enabled when it is determined that the first earphone is continuously unused for the first preset time period.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present application, the control device 400 of the headset provided by the present application further includes:

[0093] A determination module, used to determine whether valid data is transmitted on the Bluetooth path established by the first Bluetooth chip;

[0094] If no, determine the duration of time during which the Bluetooth channel does not transmit valid data;

[0095] When the duration reaches the first preset duration, determining that the first headset is continuously in an unused state for the first preset duration;

[0096] In a case where valid data is transmitted on the Bluetooth path, it is determined that the first headset is in use within a first preset time period.

[0097] In one embodiment of the present application, the control device 400 of the headset provided by the present application further includes:

[0098] The third control module is also used to control the first earphone to shut down after the first earphone is taken out of the earphone compartment, if it is determined that the first earphone has been unused for a second preset time period, and the second preset time period is greater than the first preset time period.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present application, the second control module 420 is specifically used to: after the first earphone is taken out of the earphone compartment, if it is determined that the first earphone has been unused for a second preset time period, control the first earphone to shut down, and the second preset time period is greater than the first preset time period.

[0100] The present application also provides another first headset, which includes the control device 400 of any headset provided by the above device embodiments.
