TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic devices, in particular to an electronic device, a signal transmission method and a computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, Bluetooth earphones and matching charging boxes are widely used in people's work and life. The charging box is provided with an antenna capable of transmitting signals. The user can use the charging box to transmit control signals through the antenna, control the volume of the playing audio of the Bluetooth earphone, start and stop state information, and also can use the microphone of the charging box to receive audio signals in a noisy environment, and transmit the audio signals to the mobile phone, Bluetooth earphone and other devices through the antenna. However, in the related technology, the signal receiving antenna of the charging box is generally a board antenna or an FPC antenna or an LDS antenna, and the antenna is arranged in the charging box. Therefore, the shell of the charging box must be made of non-metal material, so that the antenna can radiate out from the inside of the charging box through the shell. In some related technologies, the shell is designed to be made of metal, and an antenna slot can be reserved on the shell, or a separate position for installing the antenna can be reserved on the shell. The area around the position cannot be metal. This design will cause the hand to block the antenna when the user holds the charging box. This situation will make the signal strength between the antenna and other devices weak, thereby reducing the stability of signal transmission. Moreover, during the transmission of audio signals, the signal strength will be weak and will cause multiple stalls, so that the performance of the antenna cannot be guaranteed. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the present application provides an electronic device, a signal transmission method and a computer readable storage medium, which can solve at least part of the above technical problems.

[0005] A second aspect of this application provides a method for transmitting signals, the method being applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a body, an antenna assembly, and a first microphone. The body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a first side surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface. The first side surface has a first sound receiving hole. The antenna assembly is disposed on the first side surface of the body. The electronic device establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device and / or a mobile terminal through the antenna assembly. The first microphone is disposed on the body and communicates with the first sound receiving hole. The first microphone is used to collect a first audio signal input externally to the body. The method includes: The antenna assembly transmits at least a portion of the first audio signal to the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal.
[0006] A third aspect of this application provides an electronic device, comprising: a processor and a memory, the memory being connected to the processor, the memory storing a computer program, and the processor executing the method for transmitting signals described above.
[0007] A fourth aspect of this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which is invoked by a processor to execute the aforementioned method for transmitting signals.
[0008] This application provides an electronic device, a method for transmitting signals, and a computer-readable storage medium. The electronic device includes a body, a circuit board, an antenna assembly, and a first microphone. The body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a first side surface connecting the top and bottom surfaces. The first side surface has a first sound-receiving hole. The circuit board is disposed within the body. The antenna assembly is disposed on the first side surface of the body and electrically connected to the circuit board. The circuit board establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device and / or a mobile terminal through the antenna assembly. The first microphone is disposed within the body and communicates with the first sound-receiving hole. The first microphone is used to collect a first audio signal input externally to the body and transmit at least a portion of the first audio signal to the second electronic device and / or the mobile terminal through the antenna assembly.
[0009] This application places the first microphone hole and the antenna assembly on the same side. This design exposes the first microphone hole when the user holds the electronic device, so that when the first microphone collects the first audio signal through the first microphone hole, the user's hand does not cover the antenna assembly. This enhances the signal strength transmitted between the antenna assembly and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, thereby improving the stability of the signal transmission. Furthermore, the stronger signal strength during the transmission of the first audio signal greatly reduces the number of stutters, thus improving the smoothness of signal transmission between the antenna assembly and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, allowing the antenna assembly to better perform its function.

Detailed Implementation
[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0014] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1Exploded view of electronic device 100 in the middle. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a three-dimensional structure of an electronic device 100 in another direction. The electronic device 100 includes a body 1, a circuit board 2, an antenna assembly 3, and a first microphone 4. The body 1 includes a top surface 11, a bottom surface 12, and a first side surface 13 connecting the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12. The first side surface 13 has a first sound receiving hole 131. The circuit board 2 is disposed within the body 1. The antenna assembly 3 is disposed on the first side surface 13 of the body 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device and / or a mobile terminal through the antenna assembly 3. The first microphone 4 is disposed on the body 1 and communicates with the first sound receiving hole 131. The first microphone 4 is used to collect a first audio signal input from the outside of the body 1 and transmit at least a portion of the first audio signal to the second electronic device and / or the mobile terminal through the antenna assembly 3.
[0015] This application places the first microphone hole 131 and the antenna assembly 3 on the same side. This design exposes the first microphone hole 131 when the user holds the electronic device 100, so that when the first microphone 4 collects the first audio signal through the first microphone hole 131, the user's hand does not cover the antenna assembly 3. This enhances the signal strength transmitted between the antenna assembly 3 and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, thereby improving the stability of its signal transmission. Furthermore, during the transmission of the first audio signal, the stronger signal greatly reduces the number of stutters, thus improving the smoothness of signal transmission between the antenna assembly 3 and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, allowing the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its function.
[0016] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also be a pair of glasses, a tablet, a walkie-talkie, an action camera, or other devices equipped with a microphone that can record audio and / or make calls.
[0017] Specifically, when a user holds the electronic device 100, the palm can only touch the surfaces other than the first side 13, thus exposing the first side 13 and the first microphone hole 131. At this time, the first side 13 is exposed, and the antenna assembly 3 located on the first side 13 is also exposed. As a result, the user's hand will not cover the antenna assembly 3, allowing the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its function.
[0018] Furthermore, when the user holds the electronic device 100, the user's mouth is close to and directly facing the first sound-receiving hole 131 to output the voice signal. Therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio of the first audio signal, which includes the voice signal and ambient noise, collected by the first microphone 4 through the first sound-receiving hole 131 is high. Thus, the electronic device 100 can collect the user's voice signal with high quality in noisy environments, thereby improving the user's user experience.
[0019] In some embodiments, the first microphone hole 131 is provided with a waterproof and breathable membrane and a dustproof mesh to prevent moisture and dust from entering the body 1, thereby avoiding affecting the operation of the electronic device 100.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first side 13 is provided with a first mounting hole 132, the antenna assembly 3 is mounted in the first mounting hole 132, and at least the area of the first side 13 surrounding the first mounting hole 132 is a metal housing. The electronic device 100 also includes an insulating part 6, which is disposed in the first mounting hole 132 and isolates the antenna assembly 3 from the metal housing of the body 1.
[0021] Thus, the insulating part 6 isolates the antenna assembly 3 from the metal housing of the body 1, so that the antenna assembly 3 is not interfered with by the metal. This isolation design also ensures that the electromagnetic energy generated by the antenna assembly 3 can be effectively radiated into free space, rather than being interfered with by the nearby metal housing, thereby enhancing the strength of the transmitted signal and improving the stability of the signal transmission, so that the antenna assembly 3 can better perform its own function.
[0022] In some embodiments, the insulating part 6 is made of non-conductive materials such as plastic, rubber, or silicone.
[0023] In some embodiments, the first sound receiving hole 131 is disposed on the antenna assembly 3, and the first microphone 4 is disposed on the side of the antenna assembly 3 near the circuit board 2.
[0024] Therefore, by placing the first microphone hole 131 on the antenna assembly 3, this design minimizes the possibility of the user's hand covering the antenna assembly 3 when the user holds the electronic device 100 to allow the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal through the first microphone hole 131. This enhances the signal strength transmitted between the antenna assembly 3 and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, thereby improving the stability of signal transmission. Furthermore, the stronger signal strength during the transmission of the first audio signal greatly reduces the number of stutters, thus improving the smoothness of signal transmission between the antenna assembly 3 and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, allowing the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its function.
[0025] Furthermore, the antenna assembly 3 and the first sound receiving hole 131 are both located in the area corresponding to the first mounting hole 132, which can reduce the number of windows (i.e. openings) on the first side 13 of the electronic device 100, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device 100.
[0026] In some embodiments, the circuit board 2 includes a grounding portion, and the metal casing of the body 1 is electrically connected to the grounding portion of the circuit board 2. The electronic device 100 also includes a connector 7, which is connected between the metal casing of the body 1 and the grounding portion of the circuit board 2, so that the metal casing of the body 1 is grounded.
[0027] Thus, the metal casing of the main body 1 is electrically connected through the grounding part of the circuit board 2, preventing the metal casing from becoming electrified and causing electric shock to the user. Furthermore, when the electronic device 100 is working, the static electricity received and accumulated by the metal casing can be discharged through the grounding part to reduce the static electricity accumulation of the electronic device 100 and protect the electronic components such as the circuit board 2 inside the main body 1.
[0028] The connector 7 can be a metal component such as a screw or bolt.
[0029] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 3 includes a base and a radiator. The base is disposed on a first side 13 of the body 1, and the radiator is disposed on the base and electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The first sound receiving hole 131 is disposed on the base, and the first microphone 4 is disposed on the side of the base close to the circuit board 2.
[0030] Thus, the electronic device 100 transmits signals through the radiator. This scheme places the first microphone hole 131 on the base of the antenna assembly 3. This design minimizes the possibility of the user's hand blocking the radiator when the user holds the electronic device 100 to allow the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal through the first microphone hole 131. This enhances the signal strength transmitted between the antenna assembly 3 and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, and also improves the smoothness of signal transmission between the antenna assembly 3 and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, allowing the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its function.
[0031] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 3 includes a radiating body 31 and an extension 32. The radiating body 31 is disposed in the first mounting hole 132, and the extension 32 is connected to the radiating body 31 and extends toward the circuit board 2 for electrical connection with the circuit board 2.
[0032] Therefore, when the radiating body 31 cannot move freely, the radiating body 31 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 2 through the extension 32, providing convenience for the electrical connection between the radiating body 31 and the circuit board 2.
[0033] The antenna assembly 3 is entirely made of metal and is a radiator. The antenna assembly 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 2, and the electronic device 100 transmits signals through the antenna assembly 3.
[0034] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a metal spring 8 connected between the extension 32 and the circuit board 2.
[0035] Thus, the extension 32 is electrically connected to the circuit board 2 via the metal spring 8, providing convenience for the electrical connection between the radiating body 31 and the circuit board 2.
[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the second embodiment of this application. Figure 5 for Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the acquisition of a first audio signal by the first microphone 4 of the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 also includes a second microphone 9. The bottom surface 12 is provided with a second sound receiving hole 121. The second microphone 9 is disposed on the body 1 and communicates with the second sound receiving hole 121. The second microphone 9 is disposed in an area of the body 1 away from the first microphone 4. The first microphone 4 is located within the range of the first pickup angle of the second microphone 9.
[0037] Therefore, when the user inputs the first audio signal into the first microphone hole 131, the second microphone 9 will also collect the second audio signal. By setting the two microphones at an interval and collecting audio signals simultaneously, the noise reduction effect of the collected audio signals can be improved, so as to obtain a clearer and higher quality target voice signal, thereby improving the user experience of using the electronic device 100 for calls and recording.
[0038] The phrase "the user is inputting the first audio signal into the first microphone hole 131" means that when the user inputs the voice signal, ambient noise is also collected by the first microphone 4 along with the voice signal. Therefore, the first microphone 4 collects a first audio signal that includes both ambient noise and the voice signal.
[0039] Specifically, the first microphone 4 collects the first audio signal, which includes ambient noise and the user's output voice signal. The second microphone 9 collects the second audio signal, which also includes ambient noise and the user's output voice signal. Since the user's mouth is directly facing the first microphone hole 131 and is a certain distance from the second microphone hole 121, the voice signal in the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 9 through the second microphone hole 121 will have a certain delay relative to the voice signal in the first audio signal. However, the noise collected by the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 9 comes from all directions and therefore has no time delay. The ENC algorithm can then be used to calculate the time difference between the voice signal in the first audio signal and the voice signal in the second audio signal, and to align the voice signal in the second audio signal with the voice signal in the first audio signal in the time domain to achieve time synchronization. Furthermore, since the ambient noise in the second audio signal and the ambient noise in the first audio signal are asynchronous at this time, adding them together can eliminate some noise, thus achieving noise reduction of the audio signal. After the two audio signals are synchronously added, an enhanced target voice signal including the user's input voice signal is obtained.
[0040] Since environmental noise originates from all directions, the environmental noise collected by the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 9 is basically the same. However, since the user is speaking directly into the first sound hole 131, the voice signal is emitted from a specific direction. Therefore, the voice signals collected by the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 9 are different in timing. Thus, the ENC noise reduction mechanism can be used to reduce the noise of the collected audio signal to obtain the target voice signal.
[0041] As mentioned above, the ENC noise reduction mechanism of the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 9 needs to make the distance between the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 9 as far as possible so that the speech signal in the first audio signal and the second audio signal has a time delay due to the distance.
[0042] In some embodiments, the bottom surface 12 includes four endpoints. Two endpoints that are far from the first microphone hole 131 are selected and connected to a point on the bottom surface 12 that is directly opposite the first microphone hole 131 to form a fan-shaped area. The second microphone hole 121 and the second microphone 9 are located within this fan-shaped area. This arrangement ensures that when the user holds the electronic device 100 and speaks directly into the first microphone hole 131 to output a voice signal, the second microphone hole 121 is located in the direction of voice signal propagation, allowing the second microphone 9 to collect the second audio signal through the second microphone hole 121.
[0043] In other embodiments, the midpoint of the edge of the bottom surface 12 away from the first microphone hole 131 is selected, and a line is drawn between this midpoint and a point on the bottom surface 12 directly opposite the first microphone hole 131. The second microphone hole 121 is located on the surface corresponding to this line. This arrangement ensures that when the user holds the electronic device 100 and speaks directly into the first microphone hole 131 to output a voice signal, the second microphone hole 121 is located in the direction of voice signal propagation, allowing the second microphone 9 to collect the second audio signal through the second microphone hole 121.
[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the user holds the electronic device 100, with one finger touching part of the bottom surface 12 and the side surface of the electronic device 100, and other fingers touching part of the bottom surface 12 and the side surface, and the palm covering the top surface of the electronic device 100. However, the user's hand does not cover the second sound-receiving hole (not shown in the figure, but can be regarded as the part corresponding to the second microphone 9), and thus will not hinder the first microphone 4 (not shown in the figure, but can be regarded as the top position of the fan-shaped area corresponding to A2) and the second microphone 9 from collecting the first audio signal and the second audio signal. A1 is the second pickup angle of the first microphone 4, and A2 is the first pickup angle of the second microphone 9. The angle between the first pickup angle A2 of the second microphone 9 and the second pickup angle A1 of the first microphone 4 can be greater than or equal to 30°. For example, when the first pickup angle A2 is 60° and the second pickup angle A1 is also 60°, and since the first microphone 4 is closer to the mouth (100°) than the second microphone 9 (i.e., closer to the sound source), the second microphone 9 can receive a wider range of audio signals than the first microphone 4. However, the second microphone 9 will also collect more cluttered audio signals than the first microphone 4. Therefore, the angle of the first pickup angle A2 needs to be set smaller than the angle of the second pickup angle A1. For example, if the second pickup angle A1 is 60°, then the angle of the first pickup angle A2 can be 30°, 45°, or other angles less than 60° to more accurately collect the speech signal. However, the angle of the first pickup angle A2 should not be set too small, as this will reduce the range of the speech signal collected by the second microphone 9. Figure 6 The fan-shaped area in the image is too narrow to capture the voice signal.
[0045] However, in order to enable the second microphone 9 to pick up sound from multiple angles, the angle of the first pickup angle of the second microphone 9 can be greater than or equal to 30°. The angle of the first pickup angle can be 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°, 210°, 240°, 270°, 300°, 330°, 360°, etc. The angle of the first pickup angle is not limited to the aforementioned angles and can be any angle greater than 30°. However, at this time, it is necessary to limit the position of the fan-shaped area formed by the first pickup angle, and the fan-shaped area formed by the first pickup angle and the fan-shaped area formed by the second pickup angle should largely overlap.
[0046] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the second microphone hole 121 and the edge of the bottom surface 12 is greater than or equal to 2 mm, which can prevent the user from covering the second microphone hole 121 with their finger when holding the electronic device 100, thereby avoiding affecting the second microphone 9 in collecting the second audio signal.
[0047] Specifically, when a user holds the electronic device 100, the user's palm is mainly located on the top surface 11, and the other fingers are mainly located on the side of the body 1 where the first sound-receiving hole 131 is not provided. The user's fingers will partially contact the bottom surface 12. Therefore, when the minimum distance between the second sound-receiving hole 121 and the edge of the bottom surface 12 is greater than or equal to 2mm, the fingers in contact with the bottom surface 12 will not block the second sound-receiving hole 121. Thus, the second microphone 9 can normally collect the second audio signal.
[0048] Furthermore, since the surface of a human hand is soft, it will deform when the electronic device 100 is grasped. For example, when a human hand touches the side, the tissue of the human hand will deform and may extend to the bottom surface 12 or the top surface 11. Therefore, if the first microphone hole 131 and the second microphone hole 121 are too close to the edge, they are easily covered by the tissue of the human hand. Therefore, the minimum distance between the second microphone hole 121 and the first microphone hole 131 and the edge can be set to be greater than or equal to 2mm.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom surface 12 includes a first bottom surface 122 and a support surface 124 formed by a protrusion 123 connecting the first bottom surface 122. When the electronic device 100 is placed on a plane, the support surface 124 abuts against the plane. The second sound hole 121 is disposed in the area of the bottom surface 12 that is not on the support surface 124.
[0050] Therefore, the presence of the protrusion 123 and the supporting surface 124 ensures that when the electronic device 100 is placed on a plane, the second sound-receiving hole 121 does not contact the plane, thus avoiding the situation where the second sound-receiving hole 121 is blocked and unable to collect the second audio signal. Furthermore, the protrusion 123 can surround part of the second sound-receiving hole 121 to reduce the impact of wind noise on the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 9, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 9.
[0051] Furthermore, the user can output voice signals without removing the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can be placed on the plane with the supporting surface 124 abutting against the plane. When outputting voice signals to the first microphone hole 131, since the second microphone hole 121 is located in the area of the non-supporting surface 124 on the bottom surface 12, the second microphone hole 121 is not blocked by the plane. The second audio signal can enter from the gap between the second microphone hole 121 and the plane and be collected by the second microphone 9, thus avoiding the situation where the second microphone hole 121 is blocked and the second audio signal cannot be collected.
[0052] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 1 A side view of the electronic device 100. The bottom surface 12 also includes a transparent surface 126 formed by a transparent member 125 protruding from the first bottom surface 122, the protrusion height between the transparent surface 126 and the first bottom surface 122 being less than the protrusion height between the support surface 124 and the first bottom surface 122.
[0053] Therefore, the height of the protrusion between the transparent surface 126 and the first bottom surface 122 is less than the height of the protrusion between the supporting surface 124 and the first bottom surface 122, so that the protrusion 123 can support the electronic device 100 on a plane. The transparent surface 126 will not contact the plane, so there will be no wear when the electronic device 100 moves on the plane. In addition, the transparent part 125 can also surround part of the second sound hole 121 to reduce the influence of wind noise on the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 9, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 9.
[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a button 10, and the body 1 further includes a second side 14 connecting the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12 and adjacent to the first side surface 13. The button 10 is disposed on the second side surface 14, or the button 10 is disposed on the top surface 11. The button 10 is also electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The button 10 is used to control the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal input from the outside of the body 1 in response to a trigger operation.
[0055] Therefore, the user can hold the electronic device 100 and directly press the button 10 to trigger the operation and control the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal, which improves the convenience of the user in collecting audio signals using the electronic device 100. Furthermore, the button 10 and the first microphone hole 131 are located on different surfaces of the body 1, so the user can press the button 10 without blocking the first microphone hole 131, allowing the user to input voice signals directly into the first microphone hole 131.
[0056] In some embodiments, the button 10 responds to a trigger operation to control the first microphone 4 to receive a first audio signal input from the external source of the body 1, and to control the second microphone 9 to receive a second audio signal input from the external source of the body 1.
[0057] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the button 10 protrudes from the second side 14, and the weight of the electronic device 100 is greater than the pressure required for the button 10 to respond to a pressing operation.
[0058] Therefore, when the electronic device 100 is placed on a flat surface (such as a desktop), the button 10 can directly contact the surface. Since the weight of the electronic device 100 is greater than the pressing force required for the button 10 to respond to the pressing operation, this contact can trigger the button 10 to control the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal. This operation allows the user to control the first microphone 4 to work continuously without pressing the button 10, but simply by pressing the button 10 against the surface. This frees up one hand to perform other tasks, improving work efficiency.
[0059] In some embodiments, the weight of the electronic device 100 may be less than the pressing force required for the button 10 to respond to the pressing operation, so as to avoid accidental operation of the button 10 when the electronic device 100 is placed on the plane.
[0060] In some embodiments, the body 1 further includes a third side 15 opposite to the second side 14, and the second sound hole 121 is disposed on the bottom surface 12. When the user holds the electronic device 100, the button 10 contacts a finger and forms a first point of force, and the third side 15 contacts at least one other finger and forms at least one second point of force.
[0061] When a user holds the electronic device 100, the button 10 contacts a finger and forms a first point of force, while the third side 15 contacts at least one other finger and forms at least one second point of force. The presence of the second point of force allows the user to grip the electronic device 100 tightly. Thus, the electronic device 100 can be activated while the user is holding it, facilitating the first microphone 4 to promptly acquire the first audio signal through the first sound-receiving hole 131, avoiding missing important voice information, and improving the timeliness and convenience of the electronic device 100 in acquiring audio signals.
[0062] Furthermore, in the case of headphone cases with a basic rectangular shape, when a user's finger (thumb) is on the second side 14 to trigger the button 10, and another finger (index finger) is on the third side 15 to provide relative gripping force, the palm bends and creates an arc. The other fingers are generally on the same side as the index finger, so the first side 13 and the second side 14 where the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 9 are located are difficult to be blocked.
[0063] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the third embodiment of this application. Specifically, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device 100 is a square box. The body 1 of the electronic device 100 includes an upper shell 16 and a lower shell 17. The upper shell 16 is provided with a mounting groove 161. A rotating component 20 is installed in the mounting groove 161. The mounting groove 161 is provided with a notch 162. The notch 162 has a first end 163 and a second end 164, exposing the side of the rotating component 20 in the notch 162, so that the user can rotate the rotating component 20 from the exposed part. The first microphone hole 131 (not shown in the figure) can be set on the top surface 11. The first microphone 4 (not shown in the figure) is set in the upper shell 16 and communicates with the first microphone hole 131. The first microphone hole 131 can also be set on the rotating component 20. The first microphone 4 is set in the rotating component 20 and communicates with the first microphone hole 131. The first microphone 4 is connected to the circuit board 2 through the rotating component 20. The positions of the button 10 and the second microphone hole 121 are as described above.
[0064] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the fourth embodiment of this application. Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device 100 is also a square box, but the upper shell 16 and lower shell 17 of the main body 1 are provided with protruding edges 18 on the periphery of their openings. Due to the presence of the protruding edges 18, if the button 10 (not shown in the figure) is located on the side of the main body 1, the protruding edges 18 will prevent the user from triggering the button 10 when holding the electronic device 100. In order to facilitate the user to trigger the button 10, the button 10 can be located on the bottom surface 12. The first microphone hole 131 (not shown in the figure) is located on the side of the main body 1, and the second microphone hole 121 (not shown in the figure) is located on the bottom surface 12 along with the button 10.
[0065] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the fifth embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, two opposite sides of the body 1 are curved surfaces, and the other two opposite sides of the body 1 are rectangular surfaces. The side with the rectangular plane is longer than the other side. Therefore, the button 10 (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the longer side so that the user can press the button 10 when holding the electronic device 100. The first microphone hole 131 (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the shorter side, and the second microphone hole 121 (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the bottom surface 12.
[0066] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the sixth embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, the body 1 is a cylinder, and the body 1 includes a top surface 11, a bottom surface 12 (not shown in the figure), and a peripheral surface 19 connecting the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12. The first microphone hole 131 is disposed on the peripheral surface 19, and the button 10 and the second microphone hole 121 are disposed on the top surface 11 or the bottom surface 12; or, the first microphone hole 131 (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the top surface 11 or the bottom surface 12, and the button 10 and the second microphone hole 121 (not shown in the figure) are disposed on the peripheral surface 19.
[0067] Therefore, the button 10 and the first microphone hole 131 are located on different surfaces of the body 1, so that the user can press the button 10 without blocking the first microphone hole 131, so that the user can input voice signals directly into the first microphone hole 131.
[0068] In addition, the button 10 and the first microphone hole 131 can be disposed on the top surface 11 at the same time. In this case, the second microphone hole 121 is disposed on the peripheral side surface 19. When the user holds the electronic device 100, the user's thumb presses the button 10, while the other part of the hand contacts the peripheral side surface 19 and exposes the second microphone hole 121.
[0069] Please refer to 11. Figure 11 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the seventh embodiment of this application. In some other embodiments, the electronic device 100 is a watch-like device, and the body 1 is the watch head. Since the dial of the watch head needs to display information such as time, the first microphone 131 (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the top surface 11 around the dial, and the button 10 and the second microphone 121 (not shown in the figure) are both disposed on the side of the watch head.
[0070] Please see Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the eighth embodiment of this application. In other embodiments, the user does not need to hold the electronic device 100 in their hand, but can instead magnetically attach / fix it to a non-screen area of a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the electronic device 100 can be pasted or installed on the back of the phone via a snap-fit structure. The side of the electronic device 100 facing away from the phone has a microphone and a button 10, making it convenient for the user to carry both the phone and the electronic device 100. Furthermore, when the mobile terminal is not needed, the user can detach the electronic device 100 from the mobile terminal.
[0071] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also be an action camera, the button 10 is located in the function button area of the action camera, the first microphone hole 131 is located on the side of the action camera body that is close to the human body when the user is shooting the scene, and the first microphone 4 is located in the body of the action camera and communicates with the first microphone hole 131, so as to achieve the effect of recording without other devices when the user shoots videos such as vlogs.
[0072] In other embodiments, as described above, the mobile terminal is an action camera. The electronic device 100 can be attached or installed via a snap-on structure on the side of the action camera body 1 closest to the user when shooting. The side of the electronic device 100 away from the action camera body 1 is equipped with a microphone and a button 10 to facilitate audio recording when the user shoots videos such as vlogs. Furthermore, when the action camera is not needed, the user can detach the electronic device 100 from the action camera.
[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a functional component disposed on the first side 13 for implementing a preset function. The functional component includes one or more of the following: a display component 40 for indicating the working status of the first microphone 4; a charging interface 30 for charging the electronic device 100; and a sound-emitting device for outputting audio signals to the outside of the main body 1.
[0074] Therefore, since the functional component is disposed on the same surface as the first microphone hole 131, it can prevent the user's hand from covering the functional component when holding the electronic device 100, thereby enabling the functional component to better perform its preset functions.
[0075] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a charging interface 30 disposed on the first side 13 and electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The charging interface 30 is used to connect an external battery to charge the electronic device 100. The antenna assembly 3 also includes a clearance portion 33 through which the charging interface 30 passes.
[0076] Therefore, by placing the antenna assembly 3 and the charging interface 30 in the same area, the number of windows on the first side 13 of the electronic device 100 can be reduced, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device 100.
[0077] The charging interface 30 passes through the avoidance part 33 from inside the body 1, but does not protrude from the first side 13, but is located inside the avoidance part 33.
[0078] In some embodiments, the interior of the clearance portion 33 avoids the charging interface 30, specifically by hollowing out the interior to isolate it from the charging interface 30.
[0079] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a display component 40 disposed on the body 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 controls the display component 40 to display different state effects based on the different working states of the first microphone 4, so as to indicate at least the working state of the first microphone 4 through the state effects.
[0080] Therefore, the display component 40 can visually prompt the user about the working status of the first microphone 4 through its own displayed status effect, making it easier for the user to understand the working status of the first microphone 4.
[0081] In some embodiments, the display component 40 may be an LED light or other element that displays lighting effects. Taking an LED light as an example, the LED light can display different lighting effects based on the operating state of the first microphone 4. For instance, when the first microphone 4 is not operating, the LED light does not display any lighting effects or displays a first color light; when the first microphone 4 is operating, the LED light displays a second color light. The first and second color lights can be red, green, orange, or other colors, and are not limited here. For example, when the electronic device 100 records audio through the first microphone 4, the LED light displays yellow light; when the electronic device 100 makes a call through the first microphone 4, the LED light displays green light.
[0082] In some embodiments, the display component 40 may be a display screen, which may display different information based on the working state of the first microphone 4. For example, when the first microphone 4 is not working, the display screen does not display any information or displays text information indicating that the first microphone 4 is working. When the first microphone 4 enters the working state, the display screen displays information such as collecting data, recording, or making a call. In addition, the display screen may also display information such as recording duration and call duration.
[0083] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 3 is further provided with a display clearance hole 34, and the display assembly 40 is mounted in the display clearance hole 34.
[0084] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a battery 50 and a wireless charging unit 60. The battery 50 is disposed within the lower housing 17 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 2 to power the circuit board 2. The wireless charging unit 60 is electrically connected to the battery 50 and wirelessly charges the battery 50 by contacting an external battery. The wireless charging unit 60 is also fixedly connected to the battery 50 via the adhesive component 107.
[0085] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a battery holder 7, which is installed within the lower housing 17, and the battery 5 is disposed within a slot in the battery holder 7. The battery holder 7 may be made of a soft material to protect the battery 50. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a sound-generating device disposed within the body 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The body 1 has a sound outlet hole, which communicates with the sound-generating device. The sound-generating device is used to output audio signals to the outside of the body 1 through the sound outlet hole.
[0086] Therefore, by playing the acquired audio signal through the sound-generating device, the user can know the quality of the audio signal and also know the content of the voice signal in a timely manner.
[0087] In some embodiments, the body 1 is provided with a receiving position for placing a second electronic device adapted to the electronic device 100.
[0088] Therefore, the second electronic device can be placed in the storage space of the electronic device 100, and the second electronic device does not need to occupy other space, thereby saving the total space occupied by the electronic device 100 and the second electronic device, making it convenient for users to carry the electronic device 100 and the second electronic device together.
[0089] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 13 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a three-dimensional structure of an electronic device 100 without its upper housing 16. The electronic device 100 is an earphone case. The second electronic device includes a first earphone and a second earphone. The body 1 of the electronic device 100 includes an upper housing 16 and a lower housing 17. The upper housing 16 and the lower housing 17 are fitted together, forming two receiving positions between them. Each receiving position includes a receiving groove 70, at least a portion of which is made of a transparent material. At least a portion of the upper surface of the lower housing 17 opposite the bottom surface 12 is a metal casing.
[0090] Therefore, the earphones can be placed inside the earphone case, making it convenient for users to carry both the earphone case and the earphones together. Furthermore, when the surrounding environment is noisy, users can hold the earphone case to input voice signals, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the audio signal collected by the earphone case and enhancing the user experience of using the electronic device 100 for calls and recordings.
[0091] Furthermore, at least a portion of the upper surface of the lower housing 17 opposite to the bottom surface 12 is a metal housing, which can minimize the risk of scratches on the upper surface caused by the user's fingernails touching the upper surface when picking up the headphones, thus better protecting the electronic device 100.
[0092] In some embodiments, the second electronic device is provided with at least one third microphone, and the button 10 is also used to control whether the first microphone 4 and the third microphone collect corresponding audio signals in response to a trigger operation, or the circuit board 2 controls whether the first microphone 4 and the third microphone collect corresponding audio signals based on the magnitude of the detected ambient noise.
[0093] Therefore, the third microphone of the second electronic device can work with the first microphone 4 as needed to control the corresponding microphone to collect audio signals in the corresponding scenario, thereby improving the user experience.
[0094] In some embodiments, when the third microphone acquires the third audio signal, the button 10 responds to the trigger operation to control the first microphone 4 to acquire the first audio signal, and the third microphone stops working; or, while the button 10 responds to the trigger operation to control the first microphone 4 to acquire the first audio signal, the third microphone continues to acquire the third audio signal.
[0095] In other embodiments, when the ambient noise level is too high, the circuit board 2 controls the first microphone 4 to acquire a first audio signal, thereby stopping the third microphone from working. When the ambient noise level is within an acceptable range, the circuit board 2 controls the third microphone to acquire a third audio signal, thereby stopping the first microphone 4 from working.
[0096] In some embodiments, the lower housing 17 includes a first lower housing 17 and a second lower housing 17, wherein the first lower housing 17 is a housing structure having multiple sides, and the first lower housing 17 and the second lower housing 17 are fitted together to form the lower housing 17.
[0097] More specifically, the upper housing 16 is also a housing structure with multiple sides, and the upper housing 16 is provided with a housing groove. The lower housing 17 also includes an ear support 171, and the lower housing 17 is provided with an ear support hole 172. The ear support 171 is installed in the ear support hole 172. The ear support 171 is provided with a receiving groove 70. The receiving groove 70 is used to receive at least a portion of the second electronic device (such as the aforementioned headphones). When the upper housing 16 and the lower housing 17 are assembled, the receiving position is formed by a portion of the housing groove and the receiving groove 70.
[0098] The ear rest 171 is the aforementioned transparent part 125. The ear rest 171 is made of transparent material, so that when the second electronic device is stored in the electronic device 100, the user can see the state inside the body 1 of the second electronic device without opening the upper shell 16.
[0099] In some embodiments, the upper housing 16 is made of a transparent material, allowing the user to see the second electronic device through the upper housing 16.
[0100] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a magnetic suction member 80, which is disposed in the receiving groove 70 and, through magnetic attraction with the second electronic device, stores the second electronic device in the electronic device 100.
[0101] In some embodiments, the ear cup 171 has a protruding edge, and the ear cup hole 172 has a stepped portion. The protruding edge matches the stepped portion of the ear cup hole 172 to prevent dust from entering the lower housing 17.
[0102] In some embodiments, the lower housing 17 is provided with a protrusion 90, and the electronic device 100 also includes a metal pin 101. One end of the metal pin 101 is electrically connected to the circuit board 2, and the other end of the metal pin 101 passes through the protrusion 90 and protrudes. When the second electronic device is housed in the electronic device 100, the second electronic device is electrically connected to the other end of the metal pin 101, and the electronic device 100 can charge the second electronic device through the metal pin 101.
[0103] When the protrusion 90 is made of metal, an insulating part 6 is provided between the metal pin 101 and the protrusion 90 to electrically isolate the metal pin 101 and the protrusion 90.
[0104] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a button 102 disposed on the lower housing 17, the button 102 being electrically connected to the circuit board 2, and the button 102 being used to control the pairing connection between the electronic device 100 and the second electronic device in response to a trigger operation.
[0105] The triggering operation can be a long press of the button 10 or the button 102, or a single click of the button 10 or the button 102.
[0106] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a pivot 103, one end of which is fixedly connected to the upper housing 16, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the lower housing 17. The upper housing 16 and the lower housing 17 are rotatably connected via the pivot. The lower housing 17 includes a lower housing body 173 and a metal frame 174. The metal frame 174 is arranged around the lower housing body 173. The side of the metal frame 174 adjacent to the side corresponding to the pivot 103 forms the first side surface 13, and the side of the metal frame 174 opposite to the side corresponding to the pivot 103 forms the second side surface 14.
[0107] Therefore, by not setting the antenna assembly 3, the first microphone hole 131, and the button 10 on the side of the metal frame 174 corresponding to the hinge 103, the hinge 103 can be prevented from interfering with the user's operation of inputting voice signals into the first microphone hole 131 when it is in motion. It also prevents the hinge 103 from interfering with the antenna assembly 3's signal transmission and reception, thus providing convenience for the user to use the electronic device 100.
[0108] In some embodiments, the metal frame 174 is provided with an ear support hole 172, and the lower housing body 173 is hollowed out corresponding to the position of the ear support hole 172 so that the ear support 171 can be installed on the lower housing 17.
[0109] In some embodiments, the lower housing 17 further includes a lower housing bottom shell 175. The lower housing body 173, the metal frame 174, and the lower housing bottom shell 175 are assembled to form the basic structure of the lower housing 17. The aforementioned bottom surface 12 is the side of the lower housing bottom shell 175 that is away from the lower housing body 173.
[0110] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a metal bracket 104 and a magnetic chuck 80. The metal bracket 104 is connected to the upper housing 16, and the magnetic chuck 80 is disposed on the metal bracket 104. The magnetic chuck 80 is also disposed in the lower housing 17, which has a groove 105. When the upper housing 16 rotates above the lower housing 17 via the pivot 103, the magnetic attraction of the two magnetic chucks 80 causes a portion of the metal bracket 104 to be inserted into the groove 105, thereby completing the fastening of the lower housing 17 and the upper housing 16.
[0111] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 establishes a communication connection with the mobile terminal through at least a portion of the antenna assembly 3, and the circuit board 2 is further configured to transmit at least a portion of the first audio signal to the mobile terminal through the antenna assembly 3; or, the electronic device 100 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device through the antenna assembly 3, and the circuit board 2 is further configured to transmit at least a portion of the first audio signal to the second electronic device through at least a portion of the antenna assembly 3, and the second electronic device transmits at least a portion of the received first audio signal to the mobile terminal; the mobile terminal performs processing operations on the received at least a portion of the first audio signal.
[0112] Therefore, at least a portion of the first audio signal can be transmitted to the mobile terminal via the antenna, and at least a portion of the first audio signal can be transmitted to the second electronic device via the antenna. Then, at least a portion of the received first audio signal can be transmitted to the mobile terminal via the second electronic device. This ensures that even when the mobile terminal or the second electronic device loses its communication connection with the electronic device 100, there is still another signal transmission method, preventing the mobile terminal from being unable to receive at least a portion of the first audio signal.
[0113] Currently, when users make calls or record audio in noisy environments, the high ambient noise reduces the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the acquired audio signal, easily leading to poor recording quality and difficulty for the other party to hear the conversation. This is especially true in today's AI era, where AI has significantly improved audio signal processing capabilities (real-time conversion of speech signals into text, summarization of speech signals, translation of speech signals, etc.), resulting in an ever-increasing demand for audio signal clarity and SNR. Furthermore, in many everyday scenarios, noise from environments such as high-speed trains, airports, subways, and crowds can significantly impair the sound reception of electronic devices. Even with ENC algorithms for noise reduction, it's still difficult for the other party to hear the conversation clearly in extremely noisy environments.
[0114] In this application, the user can speak close to the earphone box to output a voice signal, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the acquired audio signal compared to related technologies. Therefore, the earphone box can acquire the user's voice signal with high quality even in noisy environments, ensuring the other party can clearly hear the conversation and recording. Furthermore, when a user is in a public place and their speech is inconvenient to be heard by others, but cannot leave the public place (e.g., when discussing private information and wanting to speak quietly, but unable to leave their workstation (e.g., with earphones plugged into a computer)), they need to output a voice signal at a lower volume. In this case, the first microphone 4, located close to the earphone box, can output a voice signal at a lower volume, thus satisfying the user's desired privacy.
[0115] Specifically, both of the aforementioned signal transmission methods can be applied to recording and call scenarios. When a user uses the electronic device 100 to record, at least a portion of the first audio signal collected by the electronic device 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal stores the received audio signal as a recording file. When a user uses the electronic device 100 to make a call, at least a portion of the first audio signal collected by the electronic device 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal can transmit the received audio signal to realize the call.
[0116] Taking the example of an electronic device 100 equipped with only a first microphone 4, the electronic device 100 can perform noise reduction processing on the acquired first audio signal through the circuit board 2 to obtain a target voice signal, and then transmit the target voice signal to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal stores the received target voice signal as an audio file or transmits the received target voice signal to achieve a call. Alternatively, the electronic device 100 can also transmit the acquired first audio signal through the antenna assembly 3 to the second electronic device or the mobile terminal. The second electronic device or the mobile terminal performs noise reduction processing on the received first audio signal to obtain a target voice signal, and the mobile terminal stores the target voice signal as an audio file or transmits the target voice signal to achieve a call. Therefore, depending on the processing device, it needs to be explained that at least a portion of the first audio signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal or the second electronic device through the antenna. The same applies to the electronic device 100 equipped with a first microphone 4 and a second microphone 9, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0117] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal includes an artificial intelligence application, and the electronic device 100 sends at least a portion of a first audio signal to the mobile terminal, and the artificial intelligence application processes the at least portion of the first audio signal to convert the at least portion of the first audio signal into second modal information.
[0118] Therefore, by performing intelligent processing operations such as analysis, summarization, and extraction on at least a portion of the first audio signal through the artificial intelligence application, the key information contained in at least a portion of the first audio signal can be better identified and converted into second modal information, allowing users to see the key information in a targeted manner and improving the user experience.
[0119] The second modal information may be image information, voice information, text information, etc.
[0120] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 sends at least a portion of a first audio signal and at least a portion of a second audio signal to the mobile terminal, and the artificial intelligence application processes the at least a portion of the first audio signal and at least a portion of the second audio signal to convert the at least a portion of the first audio signal and at least a portion of the second audio signal into second modal information.
[0121] Please see Figure 14 , Figure 14This is a perspective structural diagram of an electronic device 100 without its upper housing 16, according to another embodiment of this application. The body 1 includes an upper housing 16 and a lower housing 17, which are fitted together to form a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity includes a first surface 176 in the lower housing 17 opposite to the upper housing 16. The electronic device 100 also includes a second antenna assembly 106, which is disposed on the first surface 176. The circuit board 2 also establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device and / or a mobile terminal through the second antenna assembly 106.
[0122] Since the antenna assembly 3 is located on the side of the main body 1, when the electronic device 100 is used for a long time, if it is bumped or knocked against the side of the main body 1, the antenna assembly 3 may be damaged, causing deformation, desoldering, or other adverse results. This will affect the normal use of the antenna assembly 3 and impair its performance. However, by placing the second antenna assembly 106 on the first surface 176, the first surface 176 is less likely to be bumped or knocked when the electronic device 100 is used. Therefore, the second antenna assembly 106 will not be impacted and will not cause the aforementioned adverse results, thus ensuring that the performance of the second antenna assembly 106 is not damaged. This ensures the communication function of the electronic device 100.
[0123] As can be seen from the picture, Figure 14 The image does not show antenna assembly 3, but only the second antenna assembly 106, which can be combined with... Figure 13 The complete technical solution can be obtained by combining the antenna assembly 3 and the second antenna assembly 106. In some embodiments, the lower housing 17 is provided with a second mounting hole 177, the second antenna assembly 106 is disposed in the second mounting hole 177, and the area surrounding the second mounting hole 177 in at least the first surface 176 of the lower housing 17 is a metal housing, and the insulating portion 6 is disposed between the second antenna assembly 106 and the metal housing.
[0124] Thus, the insulation part 6 isolates the second antenna assembly 106 from the metal housing, so that the second antenna assembly 106 is not interfered with by the metal. This isolation design ensures that the electromagnetic energy generated by the second antenna assembly 106 can be effectively radiated into free space, rather than being interfered with by the nearby metal housing, thereby enhancing the strength of the transmitted signal and improving the stability of the signal transmission, so that the second antenna assembly 106 can better perform its own function.
[0125] This application provides a method for transmitting signals, the method being applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a body, an antenna assembly, and a first microphone. The body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a first side surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface. The first side surface has a first sound receiving hole. The antenna assembly is disposed on the first side surface of the body. The electronic device establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device and / or a mobile terminal through the antenna assembly. The first microphone is disposed on the body and communicates with the first sound receiving hole. The first microphone is used to collect a first audio signal input externally to the body. The method includes: The antenna assembly transmits at least a portion of the first audio signal to the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal.
[0126] Therefore, by placing the first microphone hole and the antenna assembly on the same side, the first microphone hole will be exposed when the user holds the electronic device. This prevents the user's hand from covering the antenna assembly when the first microphone collects the first audio signal through the first microphone hole, thereby enhancing the signal strength transmitted between the antenna assembly and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, improving the stability of signal transmission, and enhancing the smoothness of signal transmission between the antenna assembly and the second electronic device and / or mobile terminal, allowing the antenna assembly to better perform its function.
[0127] In some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a button, and the body further includes a second side connecting the top surface and the bottom surface and adjacent to the first side surface. The button is disposed on the second side surface, or the button is disposed on the top surface. The method further includes: The button response triggers an operation to control the first microphone to acquire the first audio signal input from the outside of the body.
[0128] Therefore, the user can hold the electronic device and directly press the button to trigger the operation and control the first microphone to collect the first audio signal, which improves the convenience of the user in collecting audio signals using the electronic device. Furthermore, the button and the first microphone hole are located on different surfaces of the body, so the user can press the button without blocking the first microphone hole, allowing the user to input voice signals directly into the first microphone hole.
[0129] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a display component disposed on the body, and the method further includes: The display component is controlled to display different status effects based on the different operating states of the first microphone, so as to indicate at least the operating state of the first microphone through the status effects.
[0130] Therefore, the display component can visually prompt the user about the working status of the first microphone through its own displayed status effect, making it easier for the user to understand the working status of the first microphone.
[0131] In some embodiments, the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the mobile terminal through the antenna assembly, or the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device through the antenna assembly, wherein the mobile terminal includes artificial intelligence applications, and the method further includes: At least a portion of the first audio signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal via the antenna assembly; or... At least a portion of the first audio signal is transmitted to the second electronic device through the antenna assembly, and the second electronic device transmits the received at least a portion of the first audio signal to the mobile terminal; The artificial intelligence application of the mobile terminal processes at least a portion of the first audio signal to convert at least a portion of the first audio signal into second modal information.
[0132] Therefore, at least a portion of the first audio signal can be transmitted to the mobile terminal via the antenna, and at least a portion of the first audio signal can be transmitted to the second electronic device via the antenna. Then, at least a portion of the received first audio signal can be transmitted to the mobile terminal via the second electronic device. This ensures that even when the mobile terminal or the second electronic device loses its communication connection with the electronic device 100, there is still another signal transmission method, preventing the mobile terminal from being unable to receive at least a portion of the first audio signal.
