[0028] By referring to the following description of the specification in conjunction with the drawings, and with a more comprehensive understanding of the present invention, other objects and results of the present invention will become more apparent and easier to understand. In the drawings:

[0033] Quite a number of people in the prior art also choose to use noise - canceling headphones while sleeping to reduce noises such as snoring, rooster crowing, construction sounds, etc., which is convenient for falling asleep. However, if the user sets an alarm while wearing the noise - canceling headphones, then due to the excellent noise - canceling effect of the noise - canceling headphones, the user may not be able to hear external sounds and thus miss other important times. For example, a user wearing noise - canceling headphones may not hear the alarm sound and oversleep.

[0034] In view of the above - mentioned problems, the present invention provides a device setting self - adjustment method, system and readable storage medium. The following will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In order to illustrate the device setting self - adjustment method, system and readable storage medium provided by the present invention, Figures 1 - 4 exemplary markings are made for the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] The following description of the exemplary embodiments is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present invention and its application or use. Technologies and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the device setting self - adjustment method provided by the present invention is applied to a mobile terminal and an in - ear device, and includes:

[0038] Obtain whether there is an emergency; if there is, then make the mobile terminal obtain the current state of the in - ear device at a preset first time interval and determine whether the current state is a target state; where

[0039] if the current state is the target state, then use the current state as the first current state, start timing, and obtain the second current state of the in - ear device at a preset second time interval;

[0040] Determine whether the first current state is the same as the second current state. If the first current state is the same as the second current state and it is confirmed that there is an emergency event, obtain the emergency event countdown of the mobile device;

[0041] When the emergency event countdown is less than the second time interval, perform self-adjustment of the device settings on the mobile device, and change the working state of the in-ear device (from the target state to the non-target state) based on the mobile device.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mobile device can be any electronic device capable of connecting to the in-ear device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer, a laptop computer, a multimedia machine, etc. The in-ear device can be any form of earphone with noise reduction function, and can also include a bone conduction earphone with noise reduction function (the noise reduction wave enters the ear, which can also be called the in-ear device).

[0043] In this embodiment, if the current state is the non-target state, the mobile device is made to continue to repeatedly obtain the current state of the in-ear device at a preset first time interval. Wherein, the target state is the noise reduction state, the non-target state is the non-noise reduction state, and the non-noise reduction state is also known as the transparent state or the transparent mode.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second time interval is less than the first time interval, so as to be able to obtain more frequently whether the current working state of the in-ear device is the noise reduction state or has been considered to be changed to the non-noise reduction state.

[0045] In addition, in this embodiment, if the first current state is not the same as the second current state, return to continue to obtain the second current state of the in-ear device at a preset second time interval. That is, when obtaining the state of the current in-ear device more frequently, if the newly obtained second current state is the non-noise reduction state, which is different from the previous noise reduction state, this means that the user has manually changed the in-ear device to the non-noise reduction state, so there is no need to perform subsequent automatic settings.

[0046] In this embodiment, obtaining the countdown of the emergency event on the mobile terminal includes: obtaining the current system time of the mobile terminal and the preset time of the emergency event; subtracting the current system time from the preset time of the emergency event to obtain the countdown of the emergency event. Taking the emergency event as an alarm clock as an example, when the time when the alarm clock is about to ring, that is, the time from the alarm clock to ring is almost less than the second time interval, it can be inferred that the user will no longer manually change the state of the earphones (change the noise reduction to non-noise reduction). Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the current system time of the mobile terminal, and then obtain the alarm clock time. The time from the alarm clock setting time to the current system time is the time when the alarm clock is about to ring, which is the countdown of the emergency event. The countdown of the emergency event is subsequently compared with the second time interval. If the countdown of the emergency event is less than the second time interval, the mobile terminal is made to adjust its settings by itself, that is, the mobile terminal automatically changes its own settings and remotely controls the in-ear device to change the working state (which is non-noise reduction).

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in this specific embodiment, the mobile end can be a mobile phone end, including a CPU, and a first wireless transceiver module, a timing module and a post-stage circuit connected to the CPU; the in-ear device can be an earphone end, including a second wireless transceiver module, an MCU and a control circuit communicatively connected to the first wireless transceiver module.

[0048] In this embodiment, the self-adjustment of device settings on the mobile terminal and the change of the working state of the in-ear device based on the mobile terminal include:

[0049] The CPU performs system self-adjustment on the mobile terminal to increase the external speaker volume of the mobile terminal through the back-end circuit, and wirelessly connects the first wireless transceiver module to the second wireless transceiver module to enable the MCU to adjust the in-ear device to a non-noise reduction state (from a noise reduction state to a non-noise reduction state) through the control circuit. This enables the user to clearly hear the sound of the external alarm clock and avoid missing important events. Self-adjustment is only performed when the countdown to the emergency event is smaller than the second event interval (when approaching an emergency event, such as when the alarm clock is about to ring). In this way, the user can be disturbed as little as possible. If the user is disturbed, it is close to the time when the user needs to hear the external sound, ensuring the user's normal sleep.

[0050] For ease of understanding, Figure 2 、 Figure 3In the illustrated embodiments, the mobile device is a mobile phone, the in-ear device is a headset (a noise-canceling headset), the CPU is the main processor of the mobile phone; the timing module is used for timing; the first wireless transceiver module and the second wireless transceiver module are responsible for wireless communication between the headset and the mobile phone; the subsequent circuit is other circuits of the mobile phone except the above circuits; the MCU is the microprocessor of the headset side, which can be composed of a single-chip microcomputer, etc.; the control circuit is a circuit such as a button / touch / voice module for controlling the headset. The detection process in this specific embodiment is as follows:

[0051] The mobile phone CPU obtains the current headset status settings (noise cancellation / transparency) through the wireless transceiver module and continuously obtains them at time intervals T. If the current status is the transparency status, the mobile phone system settings remain unchanged, and the current status is continuously obtained at time intervals T (no restrictions on specific events, which can be half an hour or 20 minutes, etc.). If the current status is the noise cancellation status, it is recorded as the first status (the first current status), and at the same time, timing starts, and the interval is adjusted to t (t < T, this time can be adjusted according to actual needs and is not restricted here, it can be three minutes or five minutes, etc.), and the current headset status is obtained again and recorded as the second status (the second current status).

[0052] Compare the second status with the first status, and at the same time obtain the current system settings (confirm again whether an alarm is set). If the statuses are different, it means that the user has manually changed the headset status to the transparency status through the control circuit, and only the current system settings need to be kept unchanged; if the statuses are the same and it is confirmed again that the alarm setting still exists, then obtain the current system time T1 and the alarm activation time T2, obtain the time difference ΔT = T2 - T1, and judge the size relationship between ΔT and t. If ΔT < t, then change the system settings to increase the mobile phone external speaker volume, and at the same time change the current headset status through the wireless module (from noise cancellation to transparency); if ΔT > t, then continue to obtain the current headset status and repeat the above steps.

[0053] It should be noted that the premise of the device setting self - adjustment method in this embodiment is that the user has set an emergency event on the mobile device (mobile terminal). For example, the user has set an alarm clock on the mobile device. Therefore, the mobile terminal needs to perform the device setting self - adjustment method in this embodiment to monitor the working state of the in - ear device at a preset time interval and perform a series of operations. However, there may also be a situation where the user has set an alarm clock but then manually turns it off. Therefore, in this device setting self - adjustment method, when judging whether the first current state is the same as the second current state, it is necessary to judge again whether there is an emergency event set on the mobile terminal at the same time or after that. For example, it is necessary to judge again whether there is still an alarm clock setting in the mobile phone at the same time or after judging whether the first current state is the same as the second current state. If the first current state is the same as the second current state and it is confirmed that there is an emergency event, the emergency event countdown of the mobile terminal is obtained. This can avoid the situation where the user has turned off the alarm clock, but the mobile terminal still adjusts the setting of the in - ear device to the non - noise - reduction state.

[0054] As described above, the device setting self - adjustment method provided by the present invention continuously obtains the current state of the in - ear device at a preset first time interval, judges whether the current state is the noise - reduction state. If the current state is the noise - reduction state, start timing and obtain the second current state of the in - ear device more frequently at a preset second time interval; if the second current state is still the noise - reduction state, obtain the emergency event countdown of the mobile terminal. When the emergency event countdown is less than the second time interval, it means that the user is not ready to change the headphone state by himself, then the mobile terminal actively performs device setting self - adjustment and changes the working state of the in - ear device based on the mobile terminal to change the in - ear device to the non - noise - reduction mode (transparent mode), so that the user wearing the in - ear device can still hear the external sound.

[0055] In addition, as Figure 4 shown, the present invention also provides a device setting self - adjustment system 100 to implement the device setting self - adjustment method as described above, including:

[0056] The current state acquisition and discrimination unit 110 is used to obtain whether there is an emergency event; if so, make the mobile terminal obtain the current state of the in - ear device at a preset first time interval and judge whether the current state is the target state;

[0057] The execution judgment unit 120 is used to, if the current state is the target state, use the current state as the first current state, start timing and obtain the second current state of the in - ear device at a preset second time interval; judge whether the first current state is the same as the second current state. If the first current state is the same as the second current state and it is confirmed that there is an emergency event, obtain the emergency event countdown of the mobile terminal;

[0058] An execution unit 130, configured to perform self - adjustment of device settings on the mobile device when the countdown of the burst time is less than the second time interval, and change the working state of the in - ear device based on the mobile device.

[0059] For specific embodiments, reference may be made to the specific implementation manners of the above - mentioned method for self - adjustment of device settings, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer - readable storage medium. The readable storage medium may be non - volatile or volatile. A device - setting self - adjustment program is stored on the readable storage medium. When the device - setting self - adjustment program is executed by a processor, the following is implemented:

[0061] Enable the mobile device to obtain the current state of the in - ear device at a preset first time interval, and determine whether the current state is a target state; where

[0062] If the current state is the target state, use the current state as the first current state, start timing, and obtain the second current state of the in - ear device at a preset second time interval;

[0063] Determine whether the first current state is the same as the second current state. If the first current state is the same as the second current state and it is confirmed that there is an emergency event, obtain the emergency event countdown of the mobile device;

[0064] When the burst - time countdown is less than the second time interval, perform self - adjustment of device settings on the mobile device, and change the working state of the in - ear device based on the mobile device.

[0065] Specifically, the specific implementation method when the device - setting self - adjustment program is executed by the processor may refer to the description of the relevant steps in the embodiment of the method for self - adjustment of device settings, which will not be elaborated here.
