Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a volume adjustment method, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, smartphones and tablets have become indispensable communication and entertainment tools for people.

[0003] However, these devices often encounter an embarrassing problem during use: in some quiet scenes where volume control is required (such as offices, libraries, conference rooms, hospital wards, etc.), the device suddenly makes a sound (such as incoming call ringtones, message alerts, or media playback sounds), and the user may not be able to find the volume adjustment button or software setting switch in time, resulting in the sound being played outward, disturbing others or exposing privacy.

[0004] Of course, when the phone is detected to be in a quiet scene where volume control is required, the device volume can be adjusted by lowering or turning off the volume. However, this adjustment method requires adjusting the device volume every time the device is detected to be in a quiet scene, resulting in the need to frequently adjust the device volume.

[0005] Therefore, how to intelligently adjust the volume of the device to reduce the situation where the electronic device suddenly makes a loud sound in a quiet scene and reduce the frequent adjustment of the volume of the device is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the field of this technology.

[0023] In one embodiment, the target scenario is a meeting scenario. Before the step of detecting whether the electronic device is in the audio output state when it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, the method further includes:

[0024] Obtain the audio data of the environment where the electronic device is located;

[0025] If it is detected according to the audio data that the sound pressure level in the environment where the electronic device is located gradually decreases, it is determined that the electronic device is in the meeting scenario.

[0026] In one embodiment, the electronic device is a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is connected to a wearable device, and after the step of adjusting the volume of the electronic device from a first volume to a second volume, the method further includes:

[0044] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. Detailed implementation manners

[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] In daily life, electronic devices such as smart phones and tablet computers have become indispensable communication and entertainment tools for people. However, these devices often encounter an embarrassing problem during use: in a quiet environment (such as a library, a meeting room, a hospital ward, etc.), the device suddenly makes a sound (such as a ringing tone for an incoming call, a message notification tone, or a media playback sound), and the user may not be able to find the volume adjustment button or the software setting switch in time, resulting in the sound being played externally, disturbing others or exposing privacy.

[0047] To avoid this situation, the existing solutions mainly focus on two levels: hardware and software. In terms of hardware, many devices are equipped with special mode adjustment buttons (such as a mute button or a volume button), and users can manually switch the device to the mute mode or the vibration mode. In terms of software, the device usually provides mode adjustment options, and users can select the "Do Not Disturb Mode" or the "Mute Mode" in the settings menu to control the device not to make a sound during a specific period.

[0048] However, these existing solutions all have a common defect: they rely on the active operation of the user. The user needs to manually change the mode of the device before entering a quiet environment, otherwise the device may still make a sound at an inappropriate time. In actual use, the user may forget to change the mode, or fail to operate in time when entering a quiet environment, resulting in the device making a sound, thus causing embarrassment or inconvenience.

[0049] Of course, when it is detected that the device is in a quiet scenario where the volume needs to be controlled, the volume of the device can be adjusted by reducing or turning off the volume. However, this adjustment method triggers the volume adjustment in some irrelevant situations. For example, although the device is in a quiet scenario, the device is actually not playing sound externally, resulting in frequent mis-triggering of the volume adjustment of the device.

[0050] Based on this, the main solution of this application is: when it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, detect whether the electronic device is in the audio output state; if it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, adjust the volume of the electronic device from the first volume to the second volume, where the second volume is less than the first volume, and the first volume is the currently set volume of the electronic device.

[0051] In this application, when it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, the audio output state of the electronic device is further detected, and when the electronic device is in the audio output state, that is, when the electronic device is outputting audio, the volume of the electronic device is adjusted to the second volume to reduce or turn off the volume of the electronic device, so as to intelligently adjust the volume of the electronic device when the electronic device is in the target scenario where the volume needs to be controlled and the electronic device is in the audio output state, so as to reduce the situation that the electronic device suddenly makes a loud noise in a quiet scenario. And when the electronic device is in the target scenario where the volume needs to be controlled, but the device itself is not in the audio output state, that is, it is not playing audio externally, the volume of the electronic device can be not adjusted, rather than adjusting the volume of the electronic device when it is detected that the electronic device is in the scenario where the volume needs to be controlled, thus reducing the frequent adjustment of the device volume.

[0052] It should be noted that the execution subject of each embodiment of the volume adjustment method of this application can be an electronic device with data processing, network communication, and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., and the volume adjustment method of this application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0053] Based on this, the volume adjustment method of the first embodiment of this application is proposed. Please refer to Figure 1 , the volume adjustment method includes steps S10 to S20:

[0054] Step S10, when it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, detect whether the electronic device is in the audio output state;

[0055] The target scenario refers to a scenario where the volume of an electronic device needs to be controlled. For example, specifically, it can be any one of a meeting scenario, a work scenario, a home scenario, or an out-and-about scenario. This embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto. The electronic device can determine the scenario in which the electronic device is located based on the location information of the electronic device, the current time, or the current ambient audio. For example, taking the target scenario as a meeting scenario, if the current ambient audio indicates a transition from a noisy environment to a quiet environment, it is determined that the scenario in which the electronic device is located is a meeting scenario, that is, the electronic device is in the target scenario. Another example is that the target scenario is a home scenario. If the location information of the electronic device indicates that the location of the electronic device is within the coverage of a preset home scenario, it is determined that the scenario in which the electronic device is located is a home scenario, that is, the electronic device is in the target scenario. Another example is that the target scenario is a work scenario. If the current time is the same as the working time set by the user, it is determined that the scenario in which the electronic device is located is a work scenario, that is, the electronic device is in the target scenario.

[0056] It should be noted that determining that the electronic device is in the target scenario can be achieved in the following ways:

[0057] I. User setting. For example, the first scenario is a meeting scenario. When the user is in a meeting, the scenario in which the electronic device is located is set to a meeting scenario, and it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario. Another example is that the first scenario is a work scenario. When the user is at the work location, the scenario in which the electronic device is located is set to a work scenario, and it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario.

[0058] II. Automatic determination. For example, when the electronic device detects that the current ambient audio indicates a transition from a noisy environment to a quiet environment, it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario; another example is that when the electronic device detects that the location information of the electronic device is within a preset range, it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario; another example is that when the electronic device detects that the current time is within a preset time period, it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario.

[0059] After determining that the electronic device is in the target scenario, it is detected whether the electronic device is in an audio output state, where the audio output state refers to a state where the electronic device is currently outputting or can output audio. For example, the speaker (also known as the horn) of the electronic device is currently outputting sound, and the volume of the speaker of the electronic device is not turned off.

[0060] Step S20, if it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, the electronic device is adjusted from a first volume to a second volume, where the second volume is less than the first volume, and the first volume is the currently set volume of the electronic device.

[0061] It should be noted that the volume of the electronic device includes one or more of the media volume, alarm volume, notification volume, or incoming call volume of the electronic device. Among them, the media volume is specifically the volume of each application software (such as music software, video software, chat software, game software, etc.), the alarm volume is the volume when the alarm rings, the notification volume is specifically the volume when the system notifies and reminds (such as text message, WeChat message notification, application update reminder, schedule reminder, important event reminder, etc.), and the incoming call volume is the ringtone volume played when an incoming call is received.

[0062] If it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, it means that the electronic device is currently outputting audio. At this time, the volume of the electronic device is adjusted from the first volume to the second volume. Among them, the second volume can be any value less than the first volume, such as 0. The first volume is the current set volume of the electronic device, specifically it can be the volume set by the user most recently. And it should be noted that one or more of the media volume, alarm volume, notification volume, or incoming call volume of the electronic device can be adjusted from the first volume to the corresponding second volume respectively. Preferably, the second volume can be selected to be less than all the first volumes to uniformly adjust one or more of the media volume, alarm volume, notification volume, or incoming call volume of the electronic device to this second volume. For example, in a specific embodiment, assume that the current media volume of the electronic device is 3, the alarm volume is 4, the notification volume is 2, and the incoming call volume is 2, and the second volume can be selected as 0. Then the media volume, alarm volume, notification volume, and incoming call volume of the electronic device can be adjusted to 0, so as to uniformly adjust the four first volumes of [3, 4, 2, 2] to the second volume of 0.

[0063] If it is detected that the electronic device is not in the audio output state, the volume of the electronic device may not be adjusted.

[0064] Furthermore, after the volume of the electronic device is adjusted from the first volume to the second volume, the electronic device can also output a prompt message to prompt the user that the volume of the electronic device has been reduced or turned off, so as to achieve the purpose of reminding the user to restore the volume of the electronic device in time based on the actual situation, and to reduce the phenomenon that the volume of the electronic device is not restored in time after the volume of the electronic device is reduced or turned off.

[0065] Furthermore, after the volume of the electronic device is adjusted from the first volume to the second volume by using the volume adaptive adjustment function, if it is detected that the user intervenes in the operation, the adaptive adjustment function can be exited. Among them, the user intervention operation can be any one of the operations of increasing the volume, decreasing the volume, and exiting the adaptive adjustment function.

[0066] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, it is detected whether the electronic device is in the audio output state; if it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, the electronic device is adjusted from the first volume to the second volume, where the second volume is less than the first volume, and the first volume is the currently set volume of the electronic device. In this way, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, the audio output state of the electronic device is further detected, and when the electronic device is in the audio output state, that is, when the electronic device is outputting audio, the volume of the electronic device is adjusted to the second volume to reduce or turn off the volume of the electronic device, so as to intelligently adjust the volume of the electronic device when the electronic device is in the target scenario where the volume needs to be controlled and the electronic device is in the audio output state, so as to reduce the situation that the electronic device suddenly makes a loud noise in a quiet scenario. And when the electronic device is in the target scenario where the volume needs to be controlled, but the device itself is not in the audio output state, that is, it is not outputting audio, the volume of the electronic device can be not adjusted, rather than adjusting the volume of the electronic device when it is detected that the electronic device is in the scenario where the volume needs to be controlled, thus reducing the frequent adjustment of the device volume.

[0067] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar content as in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction and will not be repeated hereinafter. On this basis, the step of if it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, then adjusting the electronic device from the first volume to the second volume includes:

[0068] Step A10, if it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, obtain the physiological data of the user;

[0069] Wherein, the physiological data of the user refers to the information about the human physiological state collected through various sensors or other devices, and these data are usually collected by wearable devices (such as smart watches, bracelets), medical devices or embedded sensors. Further, the physiological data of the user can be obtained periodically, and the subsequent steps are executed to timely reduce or turn off the volume of the electronic device when it is detected that the user is in a tense state.

[0070] Step A20, detect whether the user is in a tense state according to the physiological data;

[0071] It can be understood that when the user is in a tense state, the physiological data is usually different from the data in the normal state, so it can be detected whether the user is in a tense state according to the physiological data based on this difference.

[0072] Step A30, if it is detected that the user is in a tense state, adjust the electronic device from the first volume to the second volume.

[0073] It should be noted that if it is detected that the user is not in a tense state, the volume of the electronic device is adjusted.

[0074] It can be understood that in a target scenario, if the electronic device suddenly outputs audio (such as a sudden message notification sound, incoming call ringtone, alarm sound, etc.), it usually makes the user feel embarrassed and causes a tense emotion. Based on this, in this embodiment, when it is detected that the electronic device is in an audio output state, it is further detected whether the user is in a tense state. When it is detected that the user is in a tense state, the volume of the electronic device is reduced or turned off. In this way, when the electronic device suddenly outputs audio and makes the user feel embarrassed, the volume of the electronic device is timely reduced or turned off to achieve adaptive adjustment of the device volume.

[0075] In a possible implementation manner, the physiological data is the user's heart rate and / or the user's breathing rate. The step of detecting whether the user is in a tense state based on the physiological data includes:

[0076] Step A201, if the user's heart rate is greater than or equal to a preset heart rate threshold, and / or the user's breathing rate is greater than or equal to a preset frequency threshold, it is determined that the user is in a tense state.

[0077] The user's heart rate can be specifically collected by a heart rate sensor, and the user's breathing rate can be specifically collected by a photoelectric sensor.

[0078] It should be noted that if the electronic device itself cannot directly collect the user's physiological data, for example, the electronic device is a mobile phone that cannot collect the user's heart rate or breathing rate, the user's physiological data can be obtained from a wearable device (such as headphones, bracelets, watches, etc.) connected to the electronic device, and the wearable device is a device integrated with a sensor that can collect the user's physiological data.

[0079] On the contrary, if the user's heart rate is less than the preset heart rate threshold, or / and the user's breathing rate is less than the preset frequency threshold, it is determined that the user is not in a tense state.

[0080] It can be understood that when the user is in a tense state, there are usually phenomena such as an accelerated heart rate and an accelerated breathing rate. Based on this, this application obtains the user's heart rate and / or the user's breathing rate to quickly and effectively detect whether the user is in a tense state based on the user's heart rate and / or the user's breathing rate.

[0081] Further, before the step of obtaining the physiological data of the user, the method further includes:

[0082] Step C10, obtaining the screen display state of the electronic device;

[0083] Step C20, if the screen display state is the screen-on state, then execute the step of adjusting the electronic device from the first volume to the second volume;

[0084] The screen-on state refers to the state where the screen of the electronic device is in the on state and can display content (such as interfaces, applications, videos, etc.). When the electronic device is in the screen-on state, when obtaining the device data of the electronic device and when the electronic device is running a program with an audio output requirement, the volume of the electronic device is timely reduced or turned off.

[0085] Considering that when the electronic device is in the screen-on state, the user is usually using the electronic device and the user's attention should also be on the electronic device. At this time, the external sound of the electronic device may not have a great impact on the user's emotional state. Based on this, in the screen-on state, when it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, the volume of the electronic device is adjusted.

[0086] Step C30, if the screen display state is the screen-off state, then execute the step of obtaining the physiological data of the user.

[0087] The screen-off state refers to the state where the screen of the electronic device is in the off state and does not display any content. When the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the physiological data of the user is obtained to timely reduce or turn off the volume of the electronic device when the electronic device suddenly outputs audio due to reasons such as incoming calls, notifications, alarms, etc.

[0088] Considering that when the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the user is usually not using the electronic device and the user's attention should not be on the electronic device. At this time, the sudden external sound of the electronic device usually affects the user's emotional state. Based on this, in the screen-off state, when it is detected that the electronic device is in the audio output state, the physiological data of the user is further obtained to detect whether the user is in a tense state.

[0089] Further, the step of detecting whether the electronic device is in the audio output state according to the reference data includes:

[0090] Step D10, if there is a media program and / or in the currently running programs of the electronic device, and the currently set volume of the electronic device is not zero, then determine that the electronic device is in the audio output state.

[0091] The currently running program refers to all the currently running tasks or processes in the electronic device, including foreground programs and background programs. A media program (Media Application) refers to a program that is used to manage and play multimedia content (including audio, video, etc.) and has an audio output requirement.

[0092] Further, when it is detected that there is a media program in the currently running program of the electronic device, the running of the media program in the currently running program can also be terminated, that is, the media program currently running in the electronic device is closed, so as to intelligently close the media program of the electronic device, reduce the power consumption of the electronic device, and thus improve the battery life of the electronic device.

[0093] It should be noted that when the screen display state of the electronic device is the lit screen state, it can be when there is a media program in the currently running program of the electronic device, it is determined that the electronic device is in the audio output state. In this way, by obtaining the program currently running on the electronic device, the rapid detection of whether the electronic device is in the audio output state is realized, so as to quickly adjust the volume of the device when the electronic device is running a program with an audio output requirement, and realize the timely adjustment of the device volume. When the screen display state of the electronic device is the screen-off state, even if the media program that is not closed on the electronic device is usually suspended, at this time, the electronic device has a high possibility of playing external audio due to factors such as receiving notifications, incoming calls, and messages. Based on this, when the screen display state of the electronic device is the screen-off state, it can be when the currently set volume of the electronic device is not zero, it is determined that the electronic device is in the audio output state.

[0094] Based on the first embodiment and / or the second embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the content that is the same as or similar to the above-mentioned first embodiment and the second embodiment can be referred to the above introduction and will not be repeated hereinafter. On this basis, the target scenario is a meeting scenario. Before the step of detecting whether the electronic device is in the audio output state when it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, the method further includes:

[0095] Step E10, obtaining audio data of the environment where the electronic device is located;

[0096] The audio data can be the audio collected by the microphone on the electronic device, and the electronic device can collect the audio data in the environment in real time, so as to facilitate the perception of the change of the sound in the environment.

[0097] Step E20, if it is detected according to the audio data that the sound pressure level in the environment where the electronic device is located gradually decreases, it is determined that the electronic device is in the meeting scenario.

[0098] It can be understood that the sound pressure level of the sound can be calculated according to the audio data. Specifically, the existing sound pressure level calculation method can be used to obtain the sound pressure level, and the specific calculation method of the sound pressure level will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0099] It should be noted that the sound pressure level of the audio data in each time window can be calculated in units of time windows to determine whether the sound level in the environment is gradually decreasing.

[0100] When the sound pressure level in the environment gradually decreases, it indicates that the electronic device moves from a noisy environment to a quiet environment. For example, when moving from an office to a meeting room, it is determined that the electronic device is in a meeting scenario, and the subsequent volume adjustment process is carried out. When it is recognized that the electronic device moves from a noisy environment to a quiet environment, the device volume can be intelligently adjusted to reduce the phenomenon that the electronic device makes a relatively loud sound and causes embarrassment to the user when the user enters a quiet environment.

[0101] In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device is a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal is connected to a wearable device. After the step of adjusting the electronic device from a first volume to a second volume, the method further includes:

[0102] Step F10, when receiving a target feedback instruction sent by the wearable device, restore the volume of the mobile terminal to the first volume; wherein, the target feedback instruction is an instruction indicating that the mobile terminal exits the volume adaptive adjustment function.

[0103] A mobile terminal, also known as a mobile device, refers to an electronic device that can be conveniently carried by a user and used anytime and anywhere, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.

[0104] In this embodiment, the connection between the mobile terminal and the wearable device means that the mobile terminal is communicatively connected to the wearable device. The connection manners of the communicative connection include but are not limited to Bluetooth communicative connection, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) communicative connection, ZigBee communicative connection, NFC (Near Field Communication) communicative connection, infrared communicative connection, etc.

[0105] When the mobile terminal is connected to the wearable device, the user can restore the volume of the mobile terminal through the wearable device to exit the volume adaptive adjustment function of the mobile terminal. Specifically, when the wearable device detects a preset operation of the user, a target feedback instruction is generated to the mobile terminal, so that after receiving the target feedback instruction, the mobile terminal restores the volume and exits the volume adaptive adjustment function. Among them, the preset operation can be an operation set in advance by the user to exit the volume adaptive adjustment function. For example, it can be a touch, a tap, a press, an exit instruction selected on a preset volume adaptive adjustment function management interface, etc. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0106] In this embodiment, when the mobile terminal receives the target feedback instruction sent by the wearable device, the volume of the mobile terminal is restored to the first volume. In this way, the user can restore the volume of the mobile terminal through the wearable device. Thus, when the user wears the wearable device to use the mobile terminal, the volume of the mobile terminal can be conveniently restored by operating the wearable device, thereby improving the convenience of user operation and the user experience.

[0107] In a possible implementation manner, before the step of detecting whether the electronic device is in an audio output state, the method further includes:

[0108] Step G10, if the electronic device is communicatively connected to the headphone device, obtain the headphone state of the headphone device;

[0109] In this embodiment, the connection methods of the communication connection between the electronic device and the headphone device include but are not limited to Bluetooth communication connection, Wi-Fi communication connection, ZigBee communication connection, NFC communication connection, infrared communication connection, etc.

[0110] A headphone device refers to an electronic device that can be worn on the ear and is used to receive and play audio signals. For example, TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headphones, OWS (Open Wearable Stereo) headphones, etc. It should be noted that the headphone device may include one headphone or two headphones.

[0111] The headphone state of the headphone device includes a worn state, a dropped state, and an in-case state. The worn state can be the state when the headphones are worn on the user's ears. The in-case state can be the state when the headphones are placed in the charging case. The dropped state can be the state when the headphones fall from the ears but are not placed in the charging case. The headphone state of the headphones can be detected by a wearing detection sensor built in the headphones. When it is detected that the charging contacts in the headphones and the charging case are connected, it is determined that the headphones are in the in-case state. If the charging contacts in the headphones and the charging case are not connected, it can be determined that the headphones are not in the in-case state. At this time, it can be further determined whether the headphones are in the worn state or the dropped state.

[0112] Specifically, it can be determined by the wearing detection sensor in the headphones, that is, comparing the value obtained by the wearing detection sensor with a pre-set threshold. If the value obtained by the wearing detection sensor is less than the threshold, it can be determined that the headphones are far from the user's ears and the headphones are in the dropped state. That is, the signal in the wearing detection sensor is output through the speaker and the signal is received by the microphone, and the signal received by the microphone is used as the value of the sensor. Among them, the closer the headphones are to the user, the greater the signal value collected by the wearing detection sensor.

[0113] It is also possible to determine whether the earphone is in a worn state or a dropped state through distance detection. That is, when the wearing sensor in the earphone detects a human ear, the wearing sensor emits a trigger signal, determines the distance between the earphone and the human ear according to the trigger signal, and then compares the distance with a pre-set distance. If the distance is less than the pre-set distance, it is determined that the earphone is in a worn state; if the distance is greater than or equal to the pre-set distance, it is determined that the earphone is in a dropped state.

[0114] It should be noted that the above is only a feasible embodiment for detecting the state of the earphone provided in this embodiment, but does not limit the detection method of the earphone state.

[0115] Step G20, if the earphone state indicates that the earphone device is in a worn state, output a prompt message through the earphone device, and end the current volume adjustment process.

[0116] It should be noted that it can be in the case where it is determined that the electronic device is in the target scenario, and step G10 is executed to output a prompt message through the earphone device when the user wears the earphone to use the electronic device, so as to notify the user that the current is in the target scenario where the volume needs to be controlled, facilitating the user to perform subsequent operations based on actual needs.

[0117] Exemplarily, in order to help understand the technical concept or technical principle of the volume adjustment method after combining this embodiment with the first embodiment and the second embodiment, a specific embodiment is now listed. In this specific embodiment, the volume adjustment method is applied to a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal is communicatively connected to a wearable device. Specifically, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the mobile terminal includes an audio input / output unit (specifically a microphone and a speaker), a screen state recognition module, a program running detection module, a wireless module and a microprocessor. Among them, the audio input / output unit, the screen state recognition module, the program running detection module and the wireless module are respectively connected to the microprocessor. Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the wearable device includes a wireless module, a microprocessor and a heart rate detection module. Among them, the wireless module and the heart rate detection module are respectively connected to the microprocessor. The mobile terminal and the wearable device are communicatively connected through the wireless module. The wireless module can be composed of a chip based on protocols such as WI-FI or Bluetooth. The microprocessor can be composed of a single chip. The microphone is used to collect ambient sound, the speaker is used to output audio externally, the program running detection module is used to identify the current program running state of the mobile terminal, the screen state recognition module is used to detect the screen display state of the mobile terminal, and the heart rate detection module is used to detect the user's heart rate. Based on this, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the volume adjustment process includes:

[0118] Step S11, the mobile terminal collects ambient sound through the microphone, that is, collects the audio data of the environment where the mobile terminal is located.

[0119] Step S12, determine whether the mobile terminal is in the target scenario according to the collected ambient sound. If so, execute Step S13. If not, return to Step S11. Specifically, if the collected ambient sound indicates that the mobile terminal enters a quiet environment from a noisy environment, it is determined that the mobile terminal is in the target scenario.

[0120] Step S13, obtain the screen display status of the mobile terminal.

[0121] Step S14, determine whether the mobile terminal is in the screen-on state according to the screen display status. If so, execute Step S15. If not, execute Step S17.

[0122] Step S15, when the mobile terminal is in the screen-on state, obtain the currently running program in the mobile terminal.

[0123] Step S16, determine whether there is a media program in the currently running program. If so, execute Step S19. If not, return to execute Step S15.

[0124] Step S17, obtain the user's heart rate from the wearable device.

[0125] Step S18, determine whether the current set volume of the mobile terminal is zero. If it is not zero ( Figure 4 not shown in the figure), periodically determine whether the user's heart rate is greater than the preset threshold. If it is greater than the preset threshold, execute Step S19. If it is less than or equal to the preset threshold, return to execute Step S17.

[0126] Step S19, adjust the volume of the mobile terminal to zero, that is, turn off the speaker output of the mobile terminal.

[0127] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to assist in understanding the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the volume adjustment process of the present application.
