Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of headphone control technology, and in particular relates to a headphone control method, device, computer-readable storage medium, and headphone. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, there are many inconveniences in the communication connection and reconnection methods between headphones and external devices (including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc.). Traditional Bluetooth pairing and connection usually requires manually searching for the Bluetooth headset device name in the Bluetooth setting interface of the external device, and then performing the pairing and connection operation. This operation process is relatively cumbersome, and for users who are not familiar with the operation of electronic devices, they may encounter various difficulties. In terms of reconnection, when a Bluetooth headset is disconnected from a paired external device, if you want to reconnect, you often need to repeat manual operations similar to the first pairing connection, or select the corresponding headset in the Bluetooth paired device list of the external device for connection. This reconnection method lacks intelligence and convenience, especially in scenarios where multiple external devices are switched or external devices are reconnected after a short loss of connection. It consumes a lot of user time and energy, and the user experience is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0064] In the prior art, there are many inconveniences in the communication connection and reconnection methods between headphones and external devices (including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc.). Traditional Bluetooth pairing and connection usually requires manually searching for the Bluetooth headset device name in the Bluetooth setting interface of the external device, and then performing the pairing and connection operation. This operation process is relatively cumbersome, and for users who are not familiar with the operation of electronic devices, they may encounter various difficulties. In terms of reconnection, when a Bluetooth headset is disconnected from a paired external device, if you want to reconnect, you often need to repeat manual operations similar to the first pairing connection, or select the corresponding headset in the Bluetooth paired device list of the external device for connection. This reconnection method lacks intelligence and convenience, especially in scenarios where multiple external devices are switched or external devices are reconnected after a short loss of connection. It consumes a lot of user time and energy, and the user experience is poor.

[0065] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a headset control method, device, computer-readable storage medium and headset to solve the problem in the prior art that the communication connection operation process between the headset and the external device is relatively cumbersome, consumes a lot of user time and energy, and has a poor user experience.

[0066] The embodiment of the present application can identify various external devices in the environmental image of the headset, determine the target external device based on priority, and automatically establish a communication connection between the two, without the user having to manually perform tedious communication connection operations, saving time and effort and effectively improving the user experience.

[0067] The embodiment of the present application may be performed by a headset, which may include but is not limited to a processor, a communication module, a camera module, and an audio output module.

[0068] Among them, the processor may include but is not limited to a low-power, high-performance microcontroller (MCU), which is used to coordinate the camera module for image acquisition and data processing, control the overall operation rhythm, and use the communication module to achieve stable and high-speed audio transmission and control command feedback with external devices.

[0069] The communication module may include but is not limited to a Bluetooth communication module. For example, it may be a Bluetooth 5.0 or above chip that supports dual-mode working modes of low-power Bluetooth (BLE) and classic Bluetooth. When the headset is paired with an external device for the first time, the classic Bluetooth mode is used for a stable and high-speed pairing and connection process, transmitting a large amount of pairing information and initial setting data. After the pairing is successful, data transmission (such as audio transmission) in daily use can be flexibly switched to low-power Bluetooth mode according to actual needs to reduce power consumption and extend the battery life of the headset. The Bluetooth communication module is closely connected to the microcontroller, and the microprocessor can control the working mode switching, pairing request sending, connection status monitoring, and data transmission management of the Bluetooth communication module.

[0070] The camera module may include, but is not limited to, a miniature high-definition camera, which can be embedded in a suitable location such as the front of the headset housing or above the ear, ensuring that the field of view covers the user's main activity area in front of the headset without affecting wearing comfort. The camera can use a high-pixel (for example, no less than 5 million pixels), low-noise, high-sensitivity complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor with autofocus, autoexposure, and wide dynamic range functions. It can clearly capture environmental details under different lighting conditions (from bright outdoor light to low-light indoor light) and distances (from close-up desktop to distant street view), adapting to a variety of usage scenarios.

[0071] The audio output module may include but is not limited to high-performance sound units. For example, a hybrid architecture of dynamic coils and balanced irons may be adopted. The dynamic coils focus on strong low-frequency output to restore the rich drum beats and bass rhythms; the balanced irons sculpt delicate high-frequency tones and accurately interpret string music and human voice overtones. The frequency response can span 20 Hz-40kHz, ensuring excellent sound quality across the entire frequency band. Combined with the results of environmental analysis, efficient calculations and real-time rendering of appropriate sound effects are performed.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, when the headset establishes a communication connection with the external device for the first time, the image features of the external device can be stored for use when the headset is reconnected. The specific process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown:

[0073] Step S101: When the headset and the connected external device establish a communication connection for the first time, an image of the connected external device is acquired.

[0074] When the headset establishes a communication connection with an external device for the first time, the user can turn on the power of the headset, and the power management module inside the headset starts to power various hardware modules such as the processor, communication module, camera module and audio output module. The processor can execute the system initialization program and perform self-tests on each hardware module to check whether the camera module is working properly (such as whether the lens is clear and whether the image sensor can collect data normally), whether the communication module can search and connect to the device normally, whether the storage chip is readable and writable, and whether the audio output module can sound and record normally. If any hardware failure is found, the user can be informed through the headset status indicator (such as flashing red) or voice prompts (such as "System initialization failed, please check the device"). At the same time, the processor can initialize the Bluetooth module to a searchable state, set its working mode to classic Bluetooth mode, and prepare for the first pairing connection with the external device.

[0075] Taking Bluetooth connection as an example, the user can search for available Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth settings interface of the external device, find the headset and choose to pair and connect. The external device and the Bluetooth communication module of the headset exchange pairing information, including the exchange of information such as device name and MAC address, and perform authentication according to the Bluetooth pairing protocol (such as entering a pairing code or confirming a pairing request). Once the pairing is successful, the Bluetooth communication module can send a pairing success signal to the processor.

[0076] After receiving the successful pairing signal, the processor can start the camera module to capture images from the external device. The camera module can capture images according to preset parameters. The specific parameters can be flexibly set according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this. For example, the image resolution can be set to 1080P and the frame rate can be set to 10-20 frames per second to capture a 5-10 second video image sequence. The captured image sequence is transmitted frame by frame to the processor for the processor to process each frame of the image in sequence.

[0077] Step S102: extract image features from the image of the connected external device to obtain image features of the connected external device.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, grayscale processing can be first performed to convert the color image into a grayscale image, as shown in the following formula: Gray = 0.299×R+0.587×G+0.114×B, where R, G, and B are the red, green, and blue color components of the color image pixel, respectively, and Gray is the grayscale value. Gaussian filtering can then be performed, using a Gaussian convolution kernel such as 3×3 or 5×5 to perform a convolution operation with the image to remove noise interference in the image and smooth the image data. Next, image feature extraction can be performed on the filtered image using algorithms such as scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) or speeded-up robust features (SURF). These algorithms can extract local feature points and their descriptors in the image. These feature points have good properties such as scale invariance and rotation invariance, and can accurately describe the image features of the connected external device at different angles and distances.

[0079] Step S103: Add the connected external device to the external device set, and store the image features of the connected external device.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the image features of the connected external device can be stored in the memory chip of the headset and associated with the communication connection configuration information of the external device (which may include but is not limited to the device name, MAC address, pairing key, etc.) as a basis for subsequent recognition. After storage is completed, the user can be informed through a status indicator (such as a solid blue light) or a voice prompt (such as "First pairing and image acquisition completed").

[0081] When the headset is disconnected from an external device and needs to establish a communication connection again, the headset can identify the external device that has been connected in the headset's environmental image and establish a communication connection between the two. Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, an embodiment of a headset control method may include:

[0082] Step S201: When the headset is not connected, obtain an environment image of the headset.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, the processor can activate the camera module to capture images of the environment surrounding the headset. The camera module can capture images according to preset parameters. The specific parameters can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, the image resolution can be set to 1080P and the frame rate can be set to 10-20 frames per second to capture a 5-10 second video image sequence. The captured image sequence is transmitted frame by frame to the processor, so that the processor can process each frame of the image in sequence.

[0084] Step S202: Based on a preset external device set, external device recognition is performed in the environment image to obtain an external device recognition result.

[0085] Among them, the external device set may include various external devices that have established communication connections with the headset. Take any one of the external devices as an example, record it as the external device to be matched, and its corresponding identification process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown:

[0086] Step S2021: extract image features from the environment image to obtain a first image feature.

[0087] The specific process of image feature extraction can be found in the detailed description of step S102, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment of the application. For the sake of distinction, the image feature of the environment image is recorded as the first image feature.

[0088] Step S2022: Acquire a second image feature corresponding to the external device to be matched.

[0089] Since the external device to be matched has established a communication connection with the headset, its image features have been stored in the headset's memory chip, so its image features can be directly obtained from the memory chip. For ease of distinction, the image features of the external device to be matched are recorded as the second image features here.

[0090] Step S2023: performing image feature matching on the first image feature and the second image feature to obtain an image feature matching result.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, any image feature matching algorithm can be used to perform image feature matching on the first image feature and the second image feature according to actual conditions, including but not limited to the nearest neighbor matching algorithm based on Euclidean distance, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0092] Step S2024: Determine the external device recognition result corresponding to the external device to be matched based on the image feature matching result.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, if the number of successfully matched feature points is greater than a preset threshold, it can be determined that the external device to be matched has been identified. Conversely, if the number of successfully matched feature points is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it can be determined that the external device to be matched has not been identified. The specific value of the threshold can be flexibly set based on actual circumstances. For example, it can be set to 70% of the total number of feature points of the external device to be matched, or other values. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0094] The number threshold can be negatively correlated with the recognition sensitivity. That is, the higher the recognition sensitivity, the lower the corresponding number threshold, making it easier to recognize external devices, but also increasing the probability of misidentification. Therefore, it is suitable for relatively simple and single environments to speed up reconnection. Conversely, the lower the recognition sensitivity, the higher the corresponding number threshold, making it more difficult to recognize external devices, but also decreasing the probability of misidentification. Therefore, it is suitable for environments with many and complex devices to avoid misidentification.

[0095] According to the above method, by traversing each external device in the external device set, the external device identification result corresponding to each external device can be obtained, that is, whether the external device is identified.

[0096] If none of the external devices in the set of external devices are recognized, the process may return to step S201 and its subsequent steps. Specifically, the camera's viewing angle may be changed, and an image of the headset's surroundings may be captured again from the new viewing angle, followed by re-performing external device recognition. If at least one external device in the set of external devices is recognized, the process may continue with step S203 and its subsequent steps.

[0097] It should be noted that the image acquisition process / feature extraction process involved in the embodiments of the present application is performed with the user's knowledge and permission, that is, the image acquisition process / feature extraction process complies with relevant requirements and does not constitute an act that harms the public interest.

[0098] Step S203: Determine the target external device to be connected based on the external device identification result and the preset external device connection priority configuration information.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present application, a user can pre-configure the connection priority of each external device in the external device set, thereby forming external device connection priority configuration information. For example, if the external device set includes three external devices, respectively recorded as external device 1 (mobile phone), external device 2 (tablet), and external device 3 (computer), then external device 1 can be configured as the highest priority, external device 2 can be configured as the second highest priority, and external device 3 can be configured as the lowest priority. It should be noted that the above priority configuration information is only an example. In actual applications, other different configurations can be selected according to specific circumstances. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0100] After the external device is identified, the external device with the highest priority may be selected from the external device identification results based on the external device connection priority configuration information, and the external device with the highest priority may be determined as the target external device.

[0101] Step S204: Control the headset to establish a communication connection with the target external device.

[0102] Since the target external device has established a communication connection with the headset, its corresponding communication connection configuration information has been stored in the memory chip of the headset, so its corresponding communication connection configuration information can be directly obtained from the memory chip.

[0103] Based on the communication connection configuration information, the headset can be controlled to establish a communication connection with the target external device. Specifically, the controller can control the Bluetooth communication module to switch to a connection mode, send a connection request packet to the target external device, and perform identity authentication and connection establishment operations according to the Bluetooth pairing connection protocol.

[0104] During the entire reconnection process, the reconnection status can be fed back to the user through the status indicator (e.g., flashing blue indicates reconnection, and solid blue indicates successful reconnection) and voice prompts (e.g., "Reconnecting to [device name]" and "Reconnection successful"). If the reconnection fails (e.g., the device does not have Bluetooth turned on or is out of Bluetooth connection range), the status indicator will flash red and a voice prompt will be given, "Reconnection failed, please check the device or move closer to the paired device", and then the process can return to step S201 and subsequent steps for the next identification and reconnection.

[0105] In a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present application, the user can also pre-configure the external device recognition sensitivity, thereby forming external device recognition sensitivity configuration information. Among them, the external device recognition sensitivity configuration information includes the correspondence between the environment type and the external device recognition sensitivity. For example, a lower recognition sensitivity can be configured for an environment type with a large number of devices and complexity to avoid misidentification, and a higher recognition sensitivity can be configured for a relatively single and simple environment type to speed up the reconnection speed. It should be noted that the above sensitivity configuration information is only an example. In actual applications, other different configurations can be selected according to specific circumstances, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0106] Before performing external device recognition, the type of environment the headset is in can be determined based on the environment image, and the external device recognition sensitivity corresponding to the environment type can be determined based on preset external device recognition sensitivity configuration information. Accordingly, during the external device recognition process, external device recognition can be performed in the environment image based on the external device set and the external device recognition sensitivity, thereby obtaining an external device recognition result.

[0107] In a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present application, the user can also install an application (APP) that matches the headset on a designated device. After establishing a communication connection with the headset, the connection status, image preview, and configuration options of the headset can be displayed through the application interface. Among them, the connection status of the headset may include but is not limited to information such as the name of the connected device, connection duration, and battery power. The image preview may include but is not limited to images captured in real time by the camera module for the user to view and understand the recognition situation. The configuration options may include but are not limited to functions such as external device recognition sensitivity configuration, external device connection priority configuration, and audio equalizer configuration. Through the audio equalizer configuration, the user can adjust the gain of the high, medium, and low frequency bands of the audio according to their personal music preferences and customize personalized audio effects. After the user performs the configuration operation in the application, the configuration information can be transmitted to the processor of the headset via Bluetooth, and the processor can adjust the corresponding working parameters according to the configuration information.

[0108] In a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present application, users can provide feedback and suggestions on reconnection effects, audio quality, etc. to the headset through an application during use. The headset can regularly collect these feedback data and upload them to a cloud server. On the cloud server, the feedback data can be sorted, analyzed, and mined based on big data analysis and machine learning algorithms to find out the common problems of the headset and the general needs of users. Based on the analysis results, the image recognition algorithm, reconnection algorithm, and audio processing algorithm are optimized and updated, and the updated algorithms are pushed to the headset to achieve self-optimization and upgrading of the headset and continuously improve the user experience.

[0109] In summary, the embodiment of the present application obtains an environmental image of the headset when the headset is not connected; based on a preset set of external devices, external device identification is performed in the environmental image to obtain an external device identification result; based on the external device identification result and preset external device connection priority configuration information, the target external device to be connected is determined; and the headset is controlled to establish a communication connection with the target external device. Through the embodiment of the present application, each external device can be identified in the headset's environmental image, and the target external device can be determined based on the priority, and a communication connection between the two can be automatically established, eliminating the need for the user to manually perform tedious communication connection operations, saving time and effort, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0110] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
