[0065] <Method Embodiments>

[0066] The present disclosure provides an earphone power mutual assistance method, which can be implemented by a terminal device. Specifically, the earphone power mutual assistance method can be implemented by a terminal device 1300 as shown in Figure 1

[0067] Figure 4 A flowchart of the earphone power mutual assistance method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0068] As shown in Figure 4 , the method includes the steps S4100-S4300 as shown below:

[0069] ​​In step S4100, in response to a power supply request for the first earphone paired with the terminal device, the terminal device is controlled to perform a wireless scan to obtain wireless information broadcast by at least one wireless device, and a list of wireless devices is displayed based on the wireless information.

[0070] In one embodiment, the battery replenishment request may be triggered and sent to the terminal device by a first user controlling a first headset paired and connected to the terminal device. The first user is the user using the first headset. Specifically, the battery replenishment request may be triggered by the first user performing a first touch operation on the first headset.

[0071] In this embodiment, the pairing and connection method between the first earphone and the terminal device may include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first touch operation can be clicking the corresponding earphone, performing a corresponding gesture, or the first user outputting a corresponding voice command.

[0073] In one embodiment, the power sharing request may be triggered by the first user controlling the terminal device.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first user may trigger the power replenishment request by clicking the setting button provided in the terminal device, or the first user may trigger the power replenishment request by inputting a set voice command; there is no limitation on this.

[0075] In this embodiment, the wireless device can be a Bluetooth device, which can then be paired and connected with the terminal device via Bluetooth.

[0076] In one embodiment, in response to a power supply request, such as Figure 5 As shown, the terminal device can provide a first window 50, which includes a first option 51 indicating one-to-one power sharing and a second option 52 indicating one-to-many power sharing. In response to the first user's selection of the first option 51 or the second option 52, the terminal device is controlled to perform a wireless scan to obtain wireless information broadcast by at least one wireless device, and a list of wireless devices is displayed according to the wireless information.

[0077] In this embodiment, the wireless information may include at least the identifier and device name of the corresponding wireless device. The wireless device list may only display the device names of the scanned wireless devices, allowing the first user to select a second earphone for power sharing with the first earphone as needed.

[0078] If the first user selects the first option, the selected wireless device can be used as the second headset, and step S4200 can be executed. Alternatively, if the first user selects any wireless device in the list, a confirmation operation can be performed, and the terminal device, in response to the confirmation operation, can use the selected wireless device as the second headset and execute step S4200.

[0079] If the first user selects the second option, or if the first user selects at least one wireless device in the list of wireless devices, a confirmation operation is performed. In response to the confirmation operation, the terminal device uses the selected wireless device as the second headset and executes step S4200.

[0080] In step S4200, in response to the operation of selecting the second earphone in the list of wireless devices, the control terminal device is paired and connected with the second earphone.

[0081] In this embodiment, the control terminal device and the second earphone can be paired and connected by the terminal device sending a pairing request to the terminal device based on the identification code of the second earphone, and the second earphone pairing and connecting with the terminal device based on the pairing request.

[0082] When the first user selects a second headset, the terminal device can be directly controlled to pair and connect with that second headset.

[0083] When a first user selects multiple second earphones, the terminal device can display a list of second earphones, showing the multiple earphones selected by the first user. The order of the multiple second earphones can be arranged according to factors such as remaining battery power and selection order.

[0084] Furthermore, the first user can adjust the order of the second earphones in the second earphone list according to actual needs. Adjusting the order of any second earphone can include, for example, long-pressing the earphone and dragging it up or down, or clicking the corresponding up or down button on the earphone.

[0085] In one example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the terminal device can provide a control 63 corresponding to each second earphone for adjusting the order of the corresponding second earphones. Users can adjust the arrangement order of the corresponding second earphones by dragging the control 63 corresponding to any second earphone up or down.

[0086] In embodiments where there are multiple second earpieces, pairing and connecting the control terminal device with the second earpiece may include: traversing multiple second earpieces and pairing the control terminal device with the currently traversed second earpiece.

[0087] Specifically, the plurality of second earphones can be traversed in sequence according to an arrangement order of the plurality of second earphones.

[0088] In step S4300, the first earphone and the second earphone are controlled to perform power mutual assistance.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first earphone and the second earphone are controlled to perform power mutual assistance, which can include determining a power supply earphone and a power receiving earphone in the first earphone and the second earphone, and controlling the power supply earphone to charge the power receiving earphone.

[0090] In some embodiments, the power receiving earphone is one of the first earphone and the second earphone with less power, and the power supply earphone is one of the first earphone and the second earphone with more power. Alternatively, the power receiving earphone can be the first earphone, and the power supply earphone can be the second earphone. Alternatively, the power receiving earphone can be the second earphone, and the power supply earphone can be the first earphone. Alternatively, the power supply earphone and the power receiving earphone can be specified by a user through a terminal device.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first earphone and the second earphone are controlled to perform power mutual assistance, which can include obtaining first battery information of the first earphone and second battery information of the second earphone, the battery information at least including power; and controlling the first earphone and the second earphone to perform power mutual assistance according to the first battery information and the second battery information.

[0092] In a case where the first earphone and the second earphone are both paired and connected with the terminal device, the terminal device can obtain the first battery information of the first earphone and the second battery information of the second earphone.

[0093] The battery information can further include battery voltage and battery temperature.

[0094] In this embodiment, the terminal device can determine the power supply earphone and the power receiving earphone in the first earphone and the second earphone according to the first battery information and the second battery information. For example, the power receiving earphone is one of the first earphone and the second earphone with less power, and the power supply earphone is one of the first earphone and the second earphone with more power.

[0095] In a case where the first earphone is the power supply earphone and the second earphone is the power receiving earphone, the first wireless charging module can be controlled to switch to a wireless charging transmission mode, and the second wireless charging module can be controlled to switch to a wireless charging receiving mode, so that the first earphone charges the second earphone.

[0096] In a case where the first earphone is the power receiving earphone and the second earphone is the power supply earphone, the first wireless charging module can be controlled to switch to a wireless charging receiving mode, and the second wireless charging module can be controlled to switch to a wireless charging transmission mode, so that the second earphone charges the first earphone.

[0104] On the basis of the terminal device being paired and connected with the second earphone, the terminal device can receive a confirmation instruction sent by the second earphone, and in response to the confirmation instruction, the terminal device controls the first earphone and the second earphone to perform the power mutual assistance.

[0105] In this embodiment, the confirmation instruction can be triggered by the second user performing a second touch operation on the second earphone in a case where the second user confirms that the second earphone and the first earphone perform the power mutual assistance. The second user is a user using the second earphone. The second touch operation can be a click operation on the corresponding earphone, or an operation of performing a corresponding gesture, or an operation of the second user outputting a corresponding voice instruction.

[0106] In some embodiments, the method can further include: determining, according to the first battery information and the second battery information, whether the first earphone and the second earphone meet a stop mutual charging condition; and controlling the first earphone and the second earphone to stop mutual charging in a case where the first earphone and the second earphone meet the stop mutual charging condition.

[0111] a second instruction to end charging is received.

[0112] In an embodiment where the stop mutual charging condition includes that the power supply earphone has a power less than or equal to a third power threshold, the power supply earphone is the earphone corresponding to the wireless charging module of the first earphone and the second earphone in a wireless charging transmission mode. Specifically, the third power threshold can be set according to the application scenario or the specific needs of the user in advance, for example, the third power threshold can be 20%.

[0113] In an embodiment where the end charging condition includes that the battery temperature of any earphone is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold, it can be determined whether the first earphone and the second earphone meet the stop mutual charging condition in a case where the battery temperature of the first earphone and / or the second earphone is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold. The temperature threshold can be set according to the specific situation of the corresponding earphone in advance, and the temperature thresholds corresponding to the first earphone and the second earphone can be the same or different, which is not limited herein. For example, the temperature threshold can be 50°C.

[0114] In an embodiment where the stop mutual charging condition includes that the mutual charging power of the first earphone and the second earphone reaches a corresponding power sharing ratio, the power sharing ratio of the first earphone and the second earphone can be determined in advance. The power sharing ratio can be the ratio between the power that the power supply earphone can provide for the power receiving earphone and the total power of the power supply earphone.

[0115] In the present embodiment, the terminal device can provide a first interface including an input box corresponding to the second earphone; the input box is used to input the power sharing ratio; and the power sharing ratio of each second earphone input through the input box is received, that is, the power sharing ratio of the first earphone and the second earphone.

Alternatively, the second instruction can be a voice instruction input by the user.

[0117] Through the embodiment, the automatic ending of the power mutual assistance between the first earphone and the second earphone can be implemented.

[0118] In the embodiment in which the second earphones are multiple, the control of the power mutual assistance between the first earphone and the second earphones can be the control of the power mutual assistance between the first earphone and the currently traversed second earphone.

[0119] On this basis, the method can further include: in the case where the power mutual assistance between the first earphone and the currently traversed second earphone ends, determining whether there is an untraversed second earphone; in the case where there is an untraversed second earphone, continuing the traversal; and in the case where there is no untraversed second earphone, ending.

[0122] Through the embodiment, in the case where the power mutual assistance between the first earphone and one of the second earphones reaches the corresponding power sharing ratio, the power mutual assistance between the first earphone and the next second earphone can be automatically continued, the power mutual assistance control between the first earphone and multiple second earphones is implemented, no user operation is needed in the power mutual assistance process, and the convenience of the power mutual assistance experience is improved.

[0123] In some embodiments, the obtaining of the power sharing ratio corresponding to the currently traversed second earphone includes: determining the power sharing ratio corresponding to each second earphone according to the power of the first earphone and the number of the second earphones.

[0124] In the embodiment in which the first earphone is the power supply earphone, if the number of the second earphones is N, the power of the first earphone is A1, and the third power threshold is A2, the power sharing ratio corresponding to each second earphone can be (A1-A2) / (A1*N).

[0125] In the case that the plurality of second earphones are all within the wireless charging range of the first earphone, the first earphone can take turns to perform wireless charging for the plurality of second earphones in the traversal order of the plurality of second earphones, and the first earphone provides the same amount of electricity for each second earphone, which is (A1-A2) / N.
