[0036] In a second aspect, the application shows a translation system, comprising: a translation device and at least two portable sound pickup and playing devices; the translation device and each of the portable sound pickup and playing devices have a Bluetooth connection therebetween;

[0037] The first portable sound pickup and playing device of the at least two portable sound pickup and playing devices is used to collect voice data of a first language issued by a first user, and send the voice data of the first language to the translation device through the first Bluetooth connection between the first portable sound pickup and playing device and the translation device, the first portable sound pickup and playing device being one of the at least two portable sound pickup and playing devices;

[0038] The translation device is used to receive the voice data of the first language through the first Bluetooth connection, translate the voice data of the first language into voice data of a second language, and send the voice data of the second language to a second portable sound pickup and playing device through a second Bluetooth connection between the translation device and the second portable sound pickup and playing device, the second language being a language selected in advance by a second user using the second portable sound pickup and playing device in the translation device, the second portable sound pickup and playing device being one of the at least two portable sound pickup and playing devices other than the first portable sound pickup and playing device;

[0039] The second portable sound pickup and playing device is used to receive the voice data of the second language through the second Bluetooth connection, and play the voice data of the second language.

[0040] The technical solution provided by the application can have the following beneficial effects:

[0041] In the application, in the scenario of conversation or meeting or the like between one user and another user, if translation is needed, the portable sound pickup and playing device used by the one user collects voice data of one language issued by the one user, sends the collected voice data of the one language issued by the one user to the translation device through Bluetooth, the translation device translates the voice data into voice data of another language, sends the voice data of the another language to the portable sound pickup and playing device used by the another user through Bluetooth, and the portable sound pickup and playing device used by the another user plays the voice data of the another language for the another user to listen to, so as to facilitate the another user to understand the meaning of the voice data of the another language.

[0042] In the present application, each user holds a portable sound pickup and playing device or wears a portable sound pickup and playing device on his clothes, and uses his own portable sound pickup and playing device when speaking, without the need to use a translation device and without the need to use the portable sound pickup and playing device of other users, that is, without the need for multiple users to share a translation device and without the need for multiple users to share a sound pickup and playing device, so that in the conversation scenario involving translation among multiple users, the user does not need to pass the translation device when speaking, saving the trouble of frequently passing the translation device among users, and the user does not need to pass the sound pickup and playing device when speaking, saving the trouble of frequently passing the sound pickup and playing device among users.

[0043] In this way, through the present application, the communication convenience and efficiency can be improved, and the distance between users can be kept far enough to meet the distance requirements of business etiquette and social etiquette as much as possible.

[0044] Secondly, each user does not need to use a translation device to listen to voice data, and each user uses his own portable sound pickup and playing device to listen to voice data, without the need to use a translation device to play voice data, that is, without the need for multiple users to share a translation device to listen to voice data, so that the translation device does not need to be passed among users when listening to voice data, saving the trouble of frequently passing the translation device among users, improving the convenience of listening to voice data, and improving the communication efficiency.

[0045] In addition, in the conversation scenario involving translation among multiple users, each user can not always maintain a close distance with the translation device, since the effective communication distance of Bluetooth is relatively long, so that during the conversation, each user can walk around as needed, such as walking around according to actual needs, and can maintain a relatively long distance from the translation device, as long as the distance between the portable sound pickup and playing device used by the user and the translation device is less than the effective communication distance of Bluetooth (so that data can be transmitted through Bluetooth), so that the users can communicate with each other more conveniently, and the present application is suitable for more communication scenarios.

[0046] For example, the translation device and each portable sound pickup and playing device have a Bluetooth connection respectively, and the communication distance supported by Bluetooth is generally relatively long, such as more than 10 meters or even 20 meters, so that the user can walk / move within a certain area with his own portable sound pickup and playing device, as long as the portable sound pickup and playing device used by the user can transmit data to the translation device through Bluetooth, thereby expanding the sound pickup distance, making the present application suitable for larger communication scenarios and for scenarios where the user needs to move within a certain area, rather than being able to move only around the translation device.

[0047] Secondly, different users use different portable sound pickup and play devices, and do not need to contact the translation device closely, so that the mutual infection of health problems can be avoided.

[0048] In addition, the distance between the user and the user's own portable sound pickup and play device is close, which reduces the interference of the outside world on the user's own portable sound pickup and play device collecting the voice data of the user, and improves the quality of the collected voice data of the user.

[0049] Figure 1 is a structural block diagram of a translation system of the present application.

[0050] Figure 2 is a step flow chart of a translation method of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 , a structural block diagram of a translation system of the present application is shown, and the translation system comprises:

[0053] a translation device and at least two portable sound pickup and play devices.

[0054] The translation device and each portable sound pickup and play device have a Bluetooth connection respectively.

[0055] In the present application, after the portable sound pickup and play device is turned on, the Bluetooth connection between the portable sound pickup and play device and the translation device can be established actively.

[0056] The number of the portable sound pickup and play devices is not limited in the present application, and at least two portable sound pickup and play devices are needed.

[0057] In the case that the number of the portable sound pickup and play devices is large, the translation can be used in a conference scene.

[0058] In the case that the number of the portable sound pickup and play devices is small, the translation can be used in a conversation scene.

[0059] The translation device comprises a mobile phone, a tablet computer and the like, and an application program for translation is installed on the translation device. The translation device can translate voice data of one language into voice data of another language by means of the application program for translation.

[0060] Alternatively, the translation device includes a hardware facility specially used for translation, for example, a hardware facility specially used for translation produced by a company such as iFlytek, etc.

[0061] The portable sound pickup and playback device not only has a sound pickup function, but also has a voice playback function.

[0062] The portable sound pickup and playback device can be held in the hand, or attached to the chest of clothes, or attached to the collar of clothes.

[0063] “Portable” means that the sound pickup and playback device can be easily carried and moved by the user, etc.

[0064] In the conversation translation scene or the conference translation scene between the first user and the second user, the first user can use a first portable sound pickup and playback device of the at least two portable sound pickup and playback devices, and the second user can use a second portable sound pickup and playback device of the at least two portable sound pickup and playback devices.

[0065] The first portable sound pickup and playback device is one of the at least two portable sound pickup and playback devices. The second portable sound pickup and playback device is a portable sound pickup and playback device other than the first portable sound pickup and playback device of the at least two portable sound pickup and playback devices.

[0066] The second portable sound pickup and playback device can be one or multiple.

[0067] The first portable sound pickup and playback device is used to collect voice data of a first language issued by the first user, and send the voice data of the first language to the translation device through a first Bluetooth connection between the first portable sound pickup and playback device and the translation device.

[0068] The translation device is used to receive the voice data of the first language through the first Bluetooth connection, translate the voice data of the first language into voice data of a second language, and send the voice data of the second language to the second portable sound pickup and playback device through a second Bluetooth connection between the translation device and the second portable sound pickup and playback device. The second language is a language selected in advance by the second user using the second portable sound pickup and playback device in the translation device.

[0069] The second portable sound pickup and playback device is used to receive the voice data of the second language through the second Bluetooth connection, and play the voice data of the second language.

[0070] So that the second user can hear the voice data of the second language played by the second portable sound pickup and playback device, understand the meaning of the voice data of the second language, and further understand the meaning of the voice data of the first language issued by the first user.

[0071] The first language can include Chinese, English, Russian, German, French, Japanese, Korean, etc.

[0072] The first language can include Chinese, English, Russian, German, French, Japanese, Korean, etc.

[0073] The first language and the second language are different languages.

[0074] Referring to Figure 2 , a step flowchart of a translation method of the present application is shown, which can be applied to Figure 1 , wherein the method can specifically include the following steps:

[0075] In step S101, a first portable sound pickup and playing device of at least two portable sound pickup and playing devices collects voice data of a first language spoken by a first user. The first portable sound pickup and playing device is one of the at least two portable sound pickup and playing devices.

[0076] The first user is a user using the first portable sound pickup and playing device.

[0077] In the present application, one user can use one portable sound pickup and playing device, and one user corresponds to one portable sound pickup and playing device in a one-to-one manner, and different users use different portable sound pickup and playing devices.

[0078] In the present application, the first user masters the first language and does not master the second language, that is, the first user can speak and understand the first language, but cannot speak and understand the second language.

[0079] The second user masters the second language and does not master the first language, that is, the second user can speak and understand the second language, but cannot speak and understand the first language.

[0080] Therefore, in the case of conversation between the first user and the second user or in the case of being in the same meeting and the like, it is necessary to communicate through translation so that the first user and the second user can understand the voice (meaning expressed) spoken by each other.

[0081] In the case where the first user needs to speak to the second user, the first user can speak voice data of the first language to the first portable sound pickup and playing device used by the first user (held by the first user, attached to the chest of the first user or attached to the collar of the clothes of the first user). Then the first portable sound pickup and playing device collects voice data of the first language spoken by the first user.

[0082] In the present application, sometimes, in the scenario that the first user is in conversation with the second user or is located in the same conference and needs to communicate, it is not the case that all the words spoken by the first user need to be translated for the second user to listen to, in this case, in order to avoid translating the voice data spoken by the first user which does not need to be translated for the second user to listen to, the first user can actively control the first portable sound pickup and playing device, for example, in the present application, in the case that the first user needs the translation device to translate the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user for the second user to listen to, the first user can actively control the first portable sound pickup and playing device to collect the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user.

[0083] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the first portable sound pickup and playing device has a collection button, which can be a physical button.

[0084] In the case that the first user needs the translation device to translate the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user for the second user to listen to, the first user needs to control the first portable sound pickup and playing device to collect the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user, thus, the first user can press the collection button on the first portable sound pickup and playing device. In the case that the collection button on the first portable sound pickup and playing device is pressed, the first portable sound pickup and playing device collects the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user.

[0085] In one example, the first user can press the collection button on the first portable sound pickup and playing device and then release the collection button, the collection button being pressed once can serve as the trigger condition for the first portable sound pickup and playing device to collect the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user, and subsequently, the first portable sound pickup and playing device always collects the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user until the first user stops speaking (stops speaking voice), that is, until the first portable sound pickup and playing device can no longer detect the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user, and stops collecting.

[0086] Or, in another example, the first user can continuously press the collection button on the first portable sound pickup and playing device and does not release the collection button, the collection button being pressed serves as the trigger condition for the first portable sound pickup and playing device to collect the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user, and subsequently, in the process of continuously pressing the collection button, the first portable sound pickup and playing device always collects the voice data in the first language spoken by the first user until the first user releases the collection button, and stops collecting.

[0087] For example, in one embodiment of the present application, the first portable sound-picking and playing device is configured to set a user as the exclusive user of the first portable sound-picking and playing device, and the first portable sound-picking and playing device is configured to collect voice data of the exclusive user of the first portable sound-picking and playing device, and the first portable sound-picking and playing device is configured to not collect voice data of other users.

[0088] For example, the first portable sound-picking and playing device is provided with a setting button, and if the first user needs to set the first user as the exclusive user of the first portable sound-picking and playing device, the first user can press the setting button of the first portable sound-picking and playing device, and in the process of pressing the setting button of the first portable sound-picking and playing device, the first user can speak, the first portable sound-picking and playing device collects voice data of the first user, performs voiceprint analysis on the voice data of the first user, obtains voiceprint features of the first user, and stores the voiceprint features of the first user in the first portable sound-picking and playing device, thereby setting the first user as the exclusive user of the first portable sound-picking and playing device.

[0089] Therefore, in the case that the first user is the exclusive user of the first portable sound-picking and playing device, the first portable sound-picking and playing device collects voice data of the first user in the first language.

[0090] For example, after the first portable sound-picking and playing device starts to collect voice data of the first user in the first language, the first portable sound-picking and playing device performs voiceprint analysis on the voice data of the first user in the first language, obtains voiceprint features of the first user, compares the voiceprint features of the first user with the stored voiceprint features of the exclusive user, and if the voiceprint features of the first user are consistent with the stored voiceprint features of the exclusive user, it is determined that the first user is the exclusive user of the first portable sound-picking and playing device, and the first portable sound-picking and playing device continues to collect voice data of the first user in the first language.

[0091] For example, in another embodiment of the present application, it is found through statistics that in the scenario in which a user needs to speak voice data for the first portable sound-picking and playing device to collect, the user often holds the microphone of the first portable sound-picking and playing device vertically upward, and then speaks, and therefore, in the case that the posture of the first portable sound-picking and playing device is changed to a preset posture, it is determined that the first user may have spoken voice data in the first language that needs to be translated, and thus the first portable sound-picking and playing device collects voice data of the first user in the first language.

[0092] The preset posture includes a posture in which the microphone of the first portable sound-picking and playing device is held vertically upward, etc.

[0093] For another example, in another embodiment of the present application, the inventors discovered that not every time a user points the microphone of the first portable sound pickup and playback device vertically upward does they necessarily need to speak. Sometimes, this may be a subconscious action or other action rather than a need to speak. However, statistically, it has been found that when a user needs to speak, the speech often lasts for a long time, for example, for multiple seconds. This causes the microphone of the first portable sound pickup and playback device to remain vertically upward for a long time. Therefore, if the first portable sound pickup and playback device remains in a preset posture for longer than a preset time, it indicates that the first user may have sent voice data in the first language that requires double translation. In this case, the first portable sound pickup and playback device collects the voice data in the first language sent by the first user. The preset time may include 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, or 4 seconds, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0094] In step S102 , the first portable sound pickup and playback device sends voice data in a first language to the translation device through a first Bluetooth connection between the first portable sound pickup and playback device and the translation device.

[0095] In step S103 , the translation device receives voice data in the first language via the first Bluetooth connection.

[0096] In step S104, the translation device translates the speech data in the first language into speech data in a second language, where the second language is a language previously selected by a second user using a second portable sound pickup and playback device. The second portable sound pickup and playback device is a portable sound pickup and playback device other than the first portable sound pickup and playback device among the at least two portable sound pickup and playback devices.

[0097] The second language is a language selected / determined in advance in the translation device by the second user who uses the second portable sound pickup and playback device.

[0098] The translation device can call a translation application pre-installed in the translation device to translate the voice data in the first language into the voice data in the second language, or the translation device can call a third-party translation engine in real time to translate the voice data in the first language into the voice data in the second language.

[0099] The second portable sound pickup and playback device may be one or more.

[0100] In step S105 , the translation device sends the voice data in the second language to the second portable sound pickup and playback device via the second Bluetooth connection between the translation device and the second portable sound pickup and playback device.

[0101] In step S106 , the second portable sound pickup and playback device receives voice data in the second language via the second Bluetooth connection.

[0102] In step S107, the second portable sound-picking and playing device plays the voice data in the second language.

[0103] So that the second user can hear the voice data in the second language played by the second portable sound-picking and playing device, understand the meaning of the voice data in the second language, and further understand the meaning of the voice data in the first language issued by the first user.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present application, the second portable sound-picking and playing device has a loudspeaker, so that when the second portable sound-picking and playing device plays the voice data in the second language, the second portable sound-picking and playing device can control the loudspeaker in the second portable sound-picking and playing device to directly play the voice data in the second language, so that the second user can hear the voice data in the second language directly played by the loudspeaker in the second portable sound-picking and playing device.

[0105] The scheme of translating the voice data in the second language spoken by the second user and playing the voice data for the first user to listen to by the first portable sound-picking and playing device can also refer to the processes of steps S101-S107, which will not be described in detail here.

[0106] The scheme of the present application is also applicable to a bidirectional translation scene.

[0107] The technical scheme of the present application is applicable to many scenes, such as an exhibition scene, a consultation scene, a medical treatment scene, and a business negotiation scene.

[0108] In the present application, an indicator light is arranged on each portable sound-picking and playing device.

[0109] For example, the color of the indicator light after being turned on can be green, or the color of the indicator light after being turned on can be red.

[0110] In another embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

[0111] During the process in which the second portable sound-picking and playing device is playing the voice data in the second language, the second portable sound-picking and playing device controls the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device to be always on; the always-on indicator light is used to indicate that the second portable sound-picking and playing device is in a state in which voice data cannot be collected (that is, when the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device is always on, the second portable sound-picking and playing device does not collect the voice data issued by the second user). Always on can be understood as continuously turning on.

[0112] The second user using the second portable sound-pickup and playing device can perceive that the second portable sound-pickup and playing device is in a state of being unable to collect voice data after seeing that the indicator light on the second portable sound-pickup and playing device is always on, that is, the second portable sound-pickup and playing device does not collect voice data of the second user at this time, even if the second user speaks, the second portable sound-pickup and playing device will not collect voice data of the second user, and the second portable sound-pickup and playing device is playing voice data of the second language at this time. In this way, the second user can not speak the second language at this time, that is, not speak, so as to realize the purpose of prompting the second user not to speak at this time, so as to enable the second user to hear the voice data of the second language played by the second portable sound-pickup and playing device as clearly as possible, and avoid affecting the communication between the first user and the second user.

[0113] However, after the indicator light on the second portable sound-pickup and playing device is always on, the second user still speaks sometimes, for example, the second user does not notice the always-on indicator light on the second portable sound-pickup and playing device.

[0114] Therefore, in order to enable the second user to hear the voice data of the second language played by the second portable sound-pickup and playing device as clearly as possible, and avoid affecting the communication between the first user and the second user, the second user can be enabled to know that he / she should try not to speak at this time as much as possible. In another embodiment of the present application, after the indicator light on the second portable sound-pickup and playing device is always on, the second portable sound-pickup and playing device controls the indicator light on the second portable sound-pickup and playing device to flash when the second portable sound-pickup and playing device detects that the second user using the second portable sound-pickup and playing device speaks; that is, the indicator light on the second portable sound-pickup and playing device changes from the always-on state to the flashing state.

[0115] Compared with the always-on indicator light, the flashing indicator light is a strong prompt, which improves the possibility that the second user can notice the flashing indicator light, and further improves the possibility that the second user can know that he / she should try not to speak at this time, so as to enable the second user to not speak at this time as much as possible, enable the second user to hear the voice data of the second language played by the second portable sound-pickup and playing device as clearly as possible, and avoid affecting the communication between the first user and the second user as much as possible.

[0116] Further, in a case that the second portable sound-picking and playing device detects that the second user using the second portable sound-picking and playing device does not speak (for example, does not speak for 1 second, 1.5 seconds or 2 seconds), the second portable sound-picking and playing device controls the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device to be always on, that is, the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device is changed from blinking to always-on state. In this way, in a case that the second user does not speak, the life of the indicator light is avoided from being affected by too many times of blinking, and the second portable sound-picking and playing device is avoided from consuming too much electric energy due to too many times of blinking.

[0117] Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present application, the second portable sound-picking and playing device is internally provided with a vibrator. After the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device is always on, in a case that the second portable sound-picking and playing device detects that the second user using the second portable sound-picking and playing device speaks, the second portable sound-picking and playing device controls the vibrator in the second portable sound-picking and playing device to vibrate.

[0118] Compared with the indicator light being always on, the vibrator vibrating is a strong prompt, which improves the possibility that the second user can notice the blinking of the second indicator light, and further improves the possibility that the second user can know that he / she needs to try not to speak at this time, so as to make the second user not speak at this time as much as possible, make the second user listen to the voice data in the second language played by the second portable sound-picking and playing device as much as possible, and avoid affecting the communication between the first user and the second user as much as possible.

[0119] Further, in a case that the second portable sound-picking and playing device detects that the second user using the second portable sound-picking and playing device does not speak (for example, does not speak for 1 second, 1.5 seconds or 2 seconds), the second portable sound-picking and playing device controls the vibrator in the second portable sound-picking and playing device to stop vibrating. In this way, in a case that the second user does not speak, the second portable sound-picking and playing device is avoided from consuming too much electric energy due to the vibrator.

[0120] Further, in another embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

[0121] After the second portable sound-picking and playing device finishes playing the voice data in the second language, the second portable sound-picking and playing device controls the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device to be turned off; the turned-off indicator light is used to indicate that the second portable sound-picking and playing device is in a state capable of collecting voice data (afterwards, the second portable sound-picking and playing device can collect the voice data spoken by the second user).

[0122] The second user can see the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device turn off, and can perceive that the second portable sound-picking and playing device is in a state capable of collecting voice data, i.e., the second portable sound-picking and playing device is capable of collecting voice data.

[0123] After the second user using the second portable sound-picking and playing device sees the indicator light on the second portable sound-picking and playing device turn off, the second user can perceive that the second portable sound-picking and playing device is in a state capable of collecting voice data at this moment, and the second portable sound-picking and playing device is not playing voice data, so there is no problem of whether the second user can clearly hear the voice data played by the second portable sound-picking and playing device, and thus the second user can send voice data in the second language for the second portable sound-picking and playing device to collect.

[0124] In another embodiment of the present application, the second portable sound-picking and playing device is internally provided with a replay button.

[0125] For example, in the scenario that the second portable sound-picking and playing device plays voice data in the second language for the first time, the second user does not clearly hear the voice data in the second language played by the second portable sound-picking and playing device, and cannot understand the meaning of the voice data in the second language.

[0126] Therefore, in order to enable the second user to clearly hear the voice data in the second language played by the second portable sound-picking and playing device, and further understand the meaning of the voice data in the second language, the second user can control the second portable sound-picking and playing device to play the voice data in the second language again from the first voice frame of the voice data in the second language by means of the replay button.

[0127] For example, the second user can input a short press operation on the replay button, and the short press operation includes a single click operation on the replay button, or the short press operation includes a press operation on the replay button with a press duration less than 0.6 seconds or 0.7 seconds.

[0128] Therefore, the translation method further comprises: during the process that the second portable sound-picking and playing device plays the voice data in the second language, or after the second portable sound-picking and playing device finishes playing the voice data in the second language, if the second portable sound-picking and playing device receives a short press operation on the replay button, the second portable sound-picking and playing device plays the voice data in the second language again from the first voice frame of the voice data in the second language.

[0129] In the present application, sometimes the voice data in the second language is very long (10-second voice, 15-second voice, or 20-second voice, etc.), so the duration of the second portable sound-picking and playing device playing the voice data in the second language completely is very long (for example, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, or 20 seconds, etc.).

[0130] However, the content that the second user needs to focus on may be the front part of the voice data in the second language, and the back part of the voice data in the second language may not be the content that the user needs to focus on.

[0131] Alternatively, the content that the second user did not hear clearly may be the first part of the voice data in the second language, and the second part of the voice data in the second language may be the content that the user has heard clearly.

[0132] In this case, the user mainly wants to listen to the first part of the second language voice data again, and may not want to listen to the last part of the second language voice data again to avoid wasting time.

[0133] In this case, after the second portable sound pickup and playback device starts playing the second language voice data again, starting from the first frame of the second language voice data, if the first portion of the second language voice data has already been played, then after the user has clearly heard and understood the content of the first portion of the second language voice data, there is no need to continue playing the subsequent portion of the second language voice data. Moreover, while the second portable sound pickup and playback device is playing the voice data (whether it is the first playback or repeated playback), neither the first portable sound pickup and playback device nor the second portable sound pickup and playback device can collect voice data.

[0134] To this end, accordingly, in order to save time and improve the efficiency of communication between the first user and the second user, if the user has clearly heard and understood the content of the first part of the voice data in the second language, the user can control the second portable sound pickup and playback device to stop playing the voice data in the second language. In this way, the first portable sound pickup and playback device or the second portable sound pickup and playback device can collect voice data, which facilitates communication between the first user and the second user.

[0135] To this end, in another embodiment of the present application, a stop playback button is built into the second portable sound pickup and playback device.

[0136] Thus, the translation method further includes: during the process of the second portable sound pickup and playback device replaying the voice data of the second language, if the second portable sound pickup and playback device receives a pressing operation on the stop playback button, the second portable sound pickup and playback device stops playing the voice data of the second language.

[0137] Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present application, the translation method further comprises: during the process that the second portable sound-picking and playing device replays the voice data in the second language, if the second portable sound-picking and playing device receives a long-press operation on the replay button, the second portable sound-picking and playing device stops playing the voice data in the second language. In this embodiment, the second portable sound-picking and playing device can not be built-in with a stop playing button, thus, the physical cost can be saved.

[0138] The long-press operation comprises a press operation with a duration of more than 1 second or 1.1 second.

[0139] Further, after the second portable sound-picking and playing device stops playing the voice data in the second language, the second user can not have clearly heard the content of the front part of the voice data in the second language, therefore, the second user can control the second portable sound-picking and playing device to not continue playing the content of the rear part of the voice data in the second language, but to replay the content of the front part of the voice data in the second language again. For example, the second user can input a short-press operation on the replay button, the short-press operation comprises a single-click operation on the replay button, or the short-press operation comprises a press operation with a duration of less than 0.6 second or 0.7 second.

[0140] If the second portable sound-picking and playing device receives the short-press operation on the replay button, the second portable sound-picking and playing device replays the voice data in the second language from the first voice frame of the voice data in the second language, which facilitates the second user to listen to the voice data in the second language again, for example, the second user can immediately listen to the content of the front part of the voice data in the second language again without listening to the content of the rear part of the voice data in the second language played last time, so as to save time and improve efficiency.
