Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of wireless earphones, and more specifically, to a charging method for a pair of wireless earphones and a pair of wireless earphones. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, wireless headphones have become a key component of various electronic devices due to their convenience and excellent wireless experience. True wireless stereo (TWS) headphones, in particular, are widely favored by consumers because they completely eliminate the constraints of wires. However, in actual use, the battery life of wireless headphones has gradually become a key factor affecting the user experience.

[0003] In existing wireless headset usage scenarios, users usually use two headsets at the same time. However, due to various factors such as the internal circuit design of the headset, component differences, and usage habits, the power consumption of the two headsets is often uneven. For example, some users are accustomed to using one headset for a long time, while the other is used less frequently, which leads to a significant difference in the power consumption of the two headsets after being used at the same time. In addition, even under normal use, the power consumption of the two headsets may be inconsistent due to the different power consumption of components such as the audio processing chip and Bluetooth module inside the headset during operation.

[0004] In some special scenarios, such as when the user is out and about, the charging case runs out of power, and the power levels of the two earbuds are uneven, with one earbud having sufficient power while the other is low or even depleted. In this case, without an external charging device, the earbud with low power cannot be used, and the power of the earbud with sufficient power cannot be effectively utilized, which limits the use scenarios of wireless earbuds and the user experience.

[0025] <Hardware Configuration> Figure 1 1 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of a wireless headset set 1000 in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the wireless earphone set 1000 may include a first earphone body 1100, a second earphone body 1200 and a charging box 1300, a first adsorption component 1110 is provided on the earphone handle of the first earphone body 1100, a second adsorption component 1210 is provided on the earphone handle of the second earphone body 1200, and a third adsorption component 1310 and a fourth adsorption component 1320 are provided on the charging box 1300.

[0027] The first adsorption component 1110 is used to adsorb with the second adsorption component 1210 to adsorb the first earphone body 1100 and the second earphone body 1200 together. The first adsorption component 1110 is also used to adsorb with the third adsorption component 1310 to adsorb the first earphone body 1100 into the charging box 1300.

[0028] In this embodiment, any adsorption component may include a magnet MAG+ of a first polarity and a magnet MAG- of a second polarity.

[0029] In the first earphone body 1100, the magnet MAG+ of the first polarity is set at the first end of the earphone handle, and the magnet MAG- of the second polarity is set at the second end of the earphone handle; in the second earphone body 1200, the magnet MAG+ of the first polarity is set at the second end of the earphone handle, and the magnet MAG- of the second polarity is set at the first end of the earphone handle.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, when the first earphone body 1100 and the second earphone body 1200 are adsorbed together, the first end of the earphone handle of the first earphone body 1100 contacts the first end of the earphone handle of the second earphone body 1200, and the second end of the earphone handle of the first earphone body 1100 contacts the second end of the earphone handle of the second earphone body 1200.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, when the first earphone body 1100 is adsorbed in the charging box 1300, the first end of the earphone stem of the first earphone body 1100 contacts the first position of the charging box 1300, and the second end of the earphone stem of the first earphone body 1100 contacts the second position of the charging box 1300; when the second earphone body 1200 is adsorbed in the charging box 1300, the first end of the earphone stem of the second earphone body 1200 contacts the third position of the charging box 1300, and the second end of the earphone stem of the second earphone body 1200 contacts the fourth position of the charging box 1300. Therefore, a magnet MAG- of the second polarity can be set at the first position and the fourth position, and a magnet MAG+ of the first polarity can be set at the second position and the third position.

[0032] A first charging coil 1120 is also provided on the earphone handle of the first earphone body 1100, a second charging coil 1220 is also provided on the earphone handle of the second earphone body 1200, and a third charging coil 1330 and a fourth charging coil 1340 are provided on the charging box 1300.

[0033] The first charging coil 1120 and the second charging coil 1220 are arranged on the corresponding earphone handles so that the first charging coil 1120 and the second charging coil 1220 are aligned when the first earphone body 1100 and the second earphone body 1200 are adsorbed together. Figure 2 As shown. The third charging coil 1330 is set on the charging box 1300.

Figure 3 This can improve the charging efficiency of the earphone body.

[0034] <Method Example> The present disclosure provides a method for charging a wireless headset pair. The method for charging a wireless headset pair can be implemented by a wireless headset pair. The wireless headset pair can include a first headset body and a second headset body. Specifically, the first headset body can be as follows: Figure 1 The first earphone body 1100 shown in FIG. 1 and the second earphone body 1100 may be as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The second earphone body 1200 is shown.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first earphone body may also include a first battery and a first wireless charging module, the second earphone body may include a second battery and a second wireless charging module, and the charging box may include a third battery and a third wireless charging module, wherein the first wireless charging module includes a first charging coil, the second wireless charging module includes a second charging coil, and the third wireless charging module includes a third charging coil and a fourth charging coil.

[0036] The third battery can charge the first battery through the third wireless charging module and the first wireless charging module, and the third battery can also charge the second battery through the third wireless charging module and the second wireless charging module. The first wireless charging module and the second wireless charging module have a bidirectional charging function.

[0037] Figure 4 4 is a flow chart of a method for charging a pair of wireless earphones according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes steps S4100 to S4300 as shown below: In step S4100, when the first earphone body is taken out of the charging box, the first power level of the first earphone body is detected; when the second earphone body is taken out of the charging box, the second power level of the second earphone body is detected.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first earphone body may include a first Hall element, and the second earphone body may include a second Hall element. The first earphone body may determine whether the first earphone body is removed from the charging box based on the magnetic field strength sensed by the first Hall element, and the second earphone body may determine whether the second earphone body is removed from the charging box based on the magnetic field strength sensed by the second Hall element.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first power level is the remaining power of the first earphone body, and the second power level is the remaining power of the second earphone body.

[0041] In some embodiments, the method may further include: when the first earphone body is taken out of the charging box, switching the first wireless charging module to sleep mode; and / or, when the second earphone body is taken out of the charging box, switching the second wireless charging module to sleep mode.

[0042] According to this embodiment, the first wireless charging module and / or the second wireless charging module is switched to the sleep mode, so as to reduce the power consumption of the corresponding wireless headset.

[0043] In step S4200, when the first power level of the first earphone body is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the first wireless charging module is switched to a wireless charging transmitting mode; when the second power level of the second earphone body is less than or equal to a second threshold, the second wireless charging module is switched to a wireless charging receiving mode; wherein the first threshold is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the first wireless charging module is switched to the wireless charging transmitting mode, the first charging coil may transmit radio waves, and when the second wireless charging module is switched to the wireless charging receiving mode, the second charging coil may receive radio waves.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first earphone body switches the first wireless charging module to the wireless charging transmission mode when the first power level is greater than or equal to the first threshold, including: the first earphone body detects whether it is adsorbed to the second earphone body when the first power level is greater than or equal to the first threshold; when the first earphone body detects that it is adsorbed to the second earphone body, the first wireless charging module switches to the wireless charging transmission mode.

[0046] In this embodiment, if the user attaches the first and second earphone bodies together, the first earphone body with a higher remaining charge may need to charge the second earphone body with a lower remaining charge. If the user does not attach the first and second earphone bodies together, the first earphone does not need to wirelessly charge the second earphone. Therefore, when the first charge level of the first earphone body is greater than or equal to the first threshold and the first and second earphone bodies are attached, the first wireless charging module switches from sleep mode to wireless charging transmission mode, thereby reducing the power consumption of the first earphone body.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second earphone body switches the second wireless charging module to the wireless charging receiving mode when the second power level is less than or equal to the second threshold, including: the second earphone body detects whether it is adsorbed to the first earphone body when the second power level is less than or equal to the second threshold; when the second earphone body detects that it is adsorbed to the first earphone body, the second wireless charging module switches to the wireless charging receiving mode.

[0048] In this embodiment, if the user attaches the first and second earphone bodies together, it indicates that the first earphone body with a higher remaining battery may need to charge the second earphone body with a lower remaining battery. If the user does not attach the first and second earphone bodies together, it indicates that the first earphone does not need to wirelessly charge the second earphone. Therefore, when the second earphone body's second battery level is less than or equal to the second threshold and the first and second earphone bodies are attached, the second wireless charging module switches from sleep mode to wireless charging receiving mode, thereby reducing the power consumption of the second earphone body.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first threshold and the second threshold may be pre-set according to an application scenario or specific requirements. For example, the first threshold and the second threshold may both be 30%.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first threshold value may be determined based on the second power level. For example, the first threshold value may be equal to the second power level * a set coefficient, or the first threshold value may be equal to the second power level + the set power level, wherein the set coefficient and the set power level may be pre-set based on the application scenario or specific needs. For example, the set coefficient may be 1.0 or 1.1, and the set power level may be 5% or 0%.

[0051] Step S4300: The first earphone body wirelessly charges the second earphone body.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first wireless charging module transmits radio waves when switched to the wireless charging transmission mode, and the second wireless charging module receives radio waves when switched to the wireless charging reception mode. Then, when the distance between the first charging coil of the first earphone body and the second charging coil of the second earphone body is less than or equal to the distance threshold, the radio waves transmitted by the first earphone body through the first charging coil can be received by the second earphone body through the second charging coil, so that the first earphone body can wirelessly charge the second earphone body.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first earphone body can wirelessly charge the second earphone body when it detects that the first earphone body is attached to the second earphone body.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first earphone body may connect the first battery to the first charging coil, and the second earphone body may connect the second battery to the second charging coil, so that the first earphone body can wirelessly charge the second earphone body.

[0055] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first earphone body can wirelessly charge the second earphone body, avoiding the embarrassing situation that the user cannot use the earphones when the charging box is exhausted and there is no external charging device, improving the convenience of using wireless earphones, expanding the usage scenarios of wireless earphones, and improving the efficiency of power resource utilization.

[0056] In some embodiments, after the first earphone body wirelessly charges the second earphone body, the method further includes: when the first earphone body detects that the first earphone body is detached from the second earphone body, the first earphone body stops wirelessly charging the second earphone body.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first earphone body is disconnected from the second earphone body, which means that the user does not need the first earphone body to continue charging the second earphone body. Therefore, the first earphone body stops wirelessly charging the second earphone body.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first earphone body stops wirelessly charging the second earphone body, which may include at least one of the following: the first earphone body disconnects the first battery and the first charging coil; the second earphone body disconnects the second battery and the second charging coil; the first earphone body switches the first wireless charging module to sleep mode; the second earphone body switches the second wireless charging module to sleep mode.

[0059] Through this embodiment, users can disconnect the wireless charging between the earphone bodies according to their actual needs.

[0060] In some embodiments, the method further includes: the first earphone body detecting its own output current; and the first earphone body stopping wireless charging for the second earphone body when the output current is less than or equal to a current threshold.

[0061] In this embodiment, if the output current of the first earphone body is less than or equal to the current threshold, it means that the difference between the remaining power of the first earphone body and the remaining power of the second earphone body is small, and the power is more balanced. Therefore, the first earphone body can stop wirelessly charging the second earphone body.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first earphone body stops wirelessly charging the second earphone body, which may include at least one of the following: the first earphone body disconnects the first battery and the first charging coil; the second earphone body disconnects the second battery and the second charging coil; the first earphone body switches the first wireless charging module to sleep mode; the second earphone body switches the second wireless charging module to sleep mode.

[0063] Through this embodiment, the remaining power of the two earphone bodies can be more balanced.

[0064] In some embodiments, the method further includes: the first earphone body acquiring a second amount of electricity; and the first earphone body adjusting the output current according to the difference between the first amount of electricity and the second amount of electricity.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first earphone body may be pre-set with first mapping data reflecting the mapping relationship between the charge difference and the current value; based on the charge difference between the first earphone body and the second earphone body and the first mapping data, the current value corresponding to the charge difference is obtained, and the output current is adjusted to the current value.

[0066] The first mapping data may be a first mapping function, or a first comparison table, etc., which is not limited here.

[0067] For the first mapping function, the dependent variable of the first mapping function is the current value, and the independent variable is the charge difference. In this way, by substituting the charge difference between the first earphone body and the second earphone body into the first mapping function, the current value corresponding to the charge difference can be obtained.

[0068] The first comparison table can be used to search for the current value corresponding to the power difference between the first and second earphone bodies. If the power difference between the first and second earphone bodies cannot be directly found in the first comparison table, two values adjacent to the power difference can be found. Based on these two values and the current values corresponding to these two values, the current value corresponding to the power difference can be obtained through interpolation.

[0069] This embodiment can ensure the charging safety of the headset body and avoid damage to the headset body by dynamically adjusting the wireless charging current. It can also extend the battery life of the headset body and improve charging efficiency and stability.

[0070] In some embodiments, the method also includes: when the first earphone body is placed in the charging box, switching the first wireless charging module to the wireless charging receiving mode so that the charging box charges the first earphone body; and / or, when the second earphone body is placed in the charging box, switching the second wireless charging module to the wireless charging receiving mode so that the charging box charges the second earphone body.

[0071] Through this embodiment, the earphone body can receive wireless charging from the charging box when placed in the charging box, thereby extending the usage time of the earphone body.

[0072] <Wireless Headphone Pair Example> This embodiment provides a pair of wireless earphones, such as Figure 5 As shown, the wireless headset pair 5000 includes a first headset body 1100 and a second headset body 1200. The first headset body 1100 includes a first processor 5110 and a first memory 5120. The first memory 5120 is used to store a first computer program. The first processor 5110 is used to execute the aforementioned method steps implemented by the first headset body under the control of the first computer program. The second headset body 1200 includes a second processor 5210 and a second memory 5220. The second memory 5220 is used to store a second computer program. The second processor 5210 is used to execute the aforementioned method steps implemented by the second headset body under the control of the second computer program.

[0073] In some embodiments, a first adsorption component is provided on the earphone handle of the first earphone body 1100, and a second adsorption component is provided on the earphone handle of the second earphone body 1200. The first adsorption component is used to adsorb with the second adsorption component to adsorb the first earphone body 1100 and the second earphone body 1200 together; the first adsorption component is also used to adsorb with the third adsorption component of the charging box to adsorb the first earphone body 1100 in the charging box; the second adsorption component is also used to adsorb with the fourth adsorption component of the charging box to adsorb the second earphone body 1200 in the charging box.

[0074] In some embodiments, a first charging coil is further provided on the earphone handle of the first earphone body 1100, a second charging coil is further provided on the earphone handle of the second earphone body 1200, and a third charging coil and a fourth charging coil are provided on the charging box.

[0075] The first and second charging coils are positioned on the corresponding earphone handles so that the first charging coil is aligned with the second charging coil when the first earphone body 1100 and the second earphone body 1200 are adsorbed together. The third charging coil is positioned on the charging box so that the first charging coil is aligned with the third charging coil when the first earphone body 1100 is adsorbed in the charging box. The fourth charging coil is positioned on the charging box so that the second charging coil is aligned with the fourth charging coil when the second earphone body 1200 is adsorbed in the charging box. In this way, the charging efficiency of the earphone body can be improved.
