[0010] In some embodiments, the first antenna is a PIFA antenna, and the second antenna is a monopole antenna.

[0011] In some embodiments, the earphone further comprises a boom microphone assembly, the boom microphone assembly comprising a boom body, a microphone, and a rotating shaft mechanism, the microphone and the rotating shaft mechanism being respectively arranged at two ends of the boom body, the rotating shaft mechanism being rotatably connected to the housing of the first speaker assembly, and the first antenna being arranged in a semi-enclosed manner around the periphery of the rotating shaft mechanism.

[0012] In some embodiments, within at least one gain level plane pattern direction that is equidistant from the first antenna and the second antenna, the radiation gain of the first antenna is better than that of the second antenna within a first angle range, and the radiation gain of the second antenna is better than that of the first antenna within a second angle range, the first angle range being greater than the second angle range, and the control module sets the first antenna to the working state in response to a power-on instruction of the earphone.

[0013] In some embodiments, the control module is configured to detect the signal strength received by one of the first antenna and the second antenna in the working state, and generate a current antenna communication performance parameter in real time; or the control module is configured to receive a current antenna communication performance parameter or a switching instruction generated based on the current antenna communication performance parameter from a peer device, the peer device being communicatively connected to the earphone through one of the first antenna and the second antenna in the working state, and generating the current antenna communication performance parameter in real time based on the received signal strength.

[0014] Another aspect of the present application provides a control method of an earphone, the earphone comprising a wearing assembly, a first speaker assembly, a second speaker assembly, a first antenna, and a second antenna; the wearing assembly is connected to the first speaker assembly and the second speaker assembly, so that in a wearing state, the first speaker assembly and the second speaker assembly are respectively arranged on two sides of a user's head, the first antenna is carried on the first speaker assembly, and the second antenna is carried on the second speaker assembly; the control method comprises: setting one of the first antenna and the second antenna to an active state, and setting the other of the first antenna and the second antenna to an inactive state; determining whether a current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone is less than or equal to a preset threshold; and in response to the current antenna communication performance parameter being less than or equal to the preset threshold, switching the one of the first antenna and the second antenna to the inactive state, and switching the other of the first antenna and the second antenna to the active state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not all the structures. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the earphone 1000, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the principle of the control module 601 switching the working antenna, FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of the first loudspeaker assembly 200 in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of the second loudspeaker assembly 300 in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the earphone 1000 comprises a wearing assembly 100, a first loudspeaker assembly 200, a second loudspeaker assembly 300, a first antenna 400, a second antenna 500, and a control module 601; the wearing assembly 100 is connected to the first loudspeaker assembly 200 and the second loudspeaker assembly 300, so that in the wearing state, the first loudspeaker assembly 200 and the second loudspeaker assembly 300 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the head of a user, the first antenna 400 is carried on the first loudspeaker assembly 200, the second antenna 500 is carried on the second loudspeaker assembly 300, and the control module 601 is configured to set one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to a working state and set the other of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to a standby state, and the control module 601 is further configured to switch one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to the standby state and switch the other of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to the working state in response to a current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone 1000 being less than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0028] In the scheme of this embodiment, the earphone 1000 comprises the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500, the first antenna 400 is carried on the first loudspeaker assembly 200, the second antenna 500 is carried on the second loudspeaker assembly 300, and the control module 601 has the function of adaptively switching the working antenna. The control module 601 sets one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to the working state and sets the other of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to the standby state, and detects in real time whether the current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone 1000 is less than or equal to the preset threshold. When the current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone 1000 is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the radiation of the antenna in the current working state in the current angle range is weak and cannot meet the communication requirement, at this time, the control module 601 sets the other of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to the working state, and switches the working antenna from one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to the other of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500, so as to improve the communication performance of the earphone 1000 in the current angle range by switching the working antenna, and further meet the communication requirement.

[0029] When the current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone 1000 is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the radiation intensity of the antenna in the current working state in the current angle range can meet the communication requirement, at this time, the working antenna does not need to be switched, so that the working antenna is always in a high-performance state.

[0030] The specific setting of the preset threshold is not limited in the present application, and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. If the preset threshold is set too small, the working antenna cannot be switched in time, and when the signal strength is weak, the interference from the outside world is more serious, and the communication demand cannot be met. If the preset threshold is set too large, the switching can be too frequent. For example, the current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone 1000 when the communication between the earphone 1000 and the opposite device starts to lag can be selected as the preset threshold. For example, the current antenna communication performance parameter can be a received signal strength indication (RSSI) value, a received channel power indication (RCPI) value, etc., and the present application is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the earphone 1000 can further include a radio frequency chip 602 and a switching element 603, and the control module 601 controls the switching element 603 to connect one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to the radio frequency port of the radio frequency chip 602, so that it is in a working state, and the control module 601 also controls the switching element 603 to disconnect the other of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 from the radio frequency port of the radio frequency chip 602, so that it is in a standby state.

[0032] Specifically, the switching element 603 is connected to the radio frequency port of the radio frequency chip 602 via a radio frequency circuit, and is switchably connected to one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 via the radio frequency circuit. For example, when the switching element 603 is connected to the first antenna 400 via the radio frequency circuit, the switching element 603 and the second antenna 500 can be in a disconnected state, at this time, the first antenna 400 is in a working state, and the second antenna 500 is in a standby state; when the switching element 603 is connected to the second antenna 500 via the radio frequency circuit, the switching element 603 and the first antenna 400 can be in a disconnected state, at this time, the second antenna 500 is in a working state, and the first antenna 400 is in a standby state.

[0033] The switching element 603 is connected to the control module 601 via a control circuit, so that the control module 601 can control the switching element 603 to be switchably connected to one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500. As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the control module 601 and the radio frequency chip 602 can be integrated on the same main chip. In some embodiments, the control module 601 and the radio frequency chip 602 can be two independent chips, and the present application is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs.

[0034] The switching between the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 is realized by the switching element 603, the switching speed is fast, and the control precision is high. In some embodiments, the switching between the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 can also be realized only by software, and the present application does not make any limitation in this aspect, and the person skilled in the art can make the selection according to the actual needs.

[0035] In some embodiments, the radio frequency chip 602 and the switching element 603 are carried on the first speaker assembly 200, the second antenna 500 is arranged to be connected to the switching element 603 via the radio frequency wire carried on the wearing assembly 100, and the control module 601 sets the first antenna 400 to the working state in response to the starting instruction of the earphone 1000.

[0036] Specifically, the first antenna 400, the radio frequency chip 602, and the switching element 603 can all be carried on the first speaker assembly 200, therefore, the connection distance between the first antenna 400 and the switching element 603 is short, and the loss is small. The second antenna 500 is carried on the second speaker assembly 300, and the second antenna 500 can be connected to the switching element 603 via the radio frequency wire arranged in the wearing assembly 100, at this time, the connection distance between the second antenna 500 and the switching element 603 is long, and the loss is large, so that the performance of the first antenna 400 is better than that of the second antenna 500. At this time, the first antenna 400 with better performance can be used as the main antenna, and the second antenna 500 can be used as the auxiliary antenna. The control module 601 can set the first antenna 400, i.e., the main antenna, to the working state in response to the starting instruction of the earphone 1000, so that the earphone 1000 has relatively better communication performance after starting. By setting the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to have different performances, and using the one with better performance as the main antenna and the other as the auxiliary antenna, it is beneficial to reduce the frequency of antenna switching and reduce the power consumption of the earphone 1000.

[0037] For example, the length of the radio frequency wire can be between 400 mm-600 mm, and the loss is about 2-4 dB, of course, the present application does not make any limitation in this aspect, and the person skilled in the art can make the selection according to the actual needs.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the earphone 1000 further includes a circuit board assembly 600 and a battery 700, the control module 601, the radio frequency chip 602, and the switching element 603 are arranged on the circuit board assembly 600, the first antenna 400 and the circuit board assembly 600 are arranged in the shell of the first speaker assembly 200, the second antenna 500 and the battery 700 are arranged in the shell of the second speaker assembly 300, and the clearance of the first antenna 400 is larger than that of the second antenna 500. Further, the control module 601 can set the first antenna 400 to the working state in response to the starting instruction of the earphone 1000.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3, the first speaker assembly 200 may include a first housing assembly, a first bone conduction speaker 203 supported on the first housing assembly, and a first air conduction speaker 204 supported on the first housing assembly. The first housing assembly may include a first upper housing 201 and a first lower housing 202. In the wearing state, the first upper housing 201 is closer to the head than the first lower housing 202. The first upper housing 201 and the first lower housing 202 may form a first receiving space for accommodating the circuit board assembly 600 and the first antenna 400. The circuit board assembly 600 may be disposed on the side of the first bone conduction speaker 203 near the first lower housing 202, and the first antenna 400 may be disposed between the circuit board assembly 600 and the first lower housing 202, and attached to the inner surface of the first lower housing 202.

[0040] For example, the first antenna 400 can be made of FPC material. Of course, this application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can make the selection according to actual needs.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4, the second speaker assembly 300 may include a second housing assembly, a second bone conduction speaker 303 supported on the second housing assembly, and a second air conduction speaker 304 supported on the second housing assembly. The second housing assembly may include a second upper housing 301 and a second lower housing 302. In the wearing state, the second upper housing 301 is closer to the head than the second lower housing 302. The second upper housing 301 and the second lower housing 302 may form a second receiving space for accommodating a battery 700 and a second antenna 500. The battery 700 may be disposed on the side of the second bone conduction speaker 303 near the second lower housing 302, and the second antenna 500 may be disposed between the circuit board assembly 600 and the second lower housing 302 and attached to the inner surface of the second lower housing 302.

[0042] Because the battery 700 occupies more space than the circuit board assembly 600, the first antenna 400 has a larger clearance than the second antenna 500, resulting in better performance for the first antenna 400. Therefore, the first antenna 400 with better performance can be used as the main antenna, while the second antenna 500 can be used as the auxiliary antenna. The control module 601 can respond to the power-on command of the headset 1000 by setting the first antenna 400, i.e., the main antenna, to a working state, so that the headset 1000 has relatively better communication performance after power-on. By setting the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to have different performance characteristics, and using the one with better performance as the main antenna and the other as the auxiliary antenna, it is beneficial to reduce the frequency of antenna switching and reduce the power consumption of the headset 1000.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first speaker assembly 200 or the second speaker assembly 300 can also include only bone conduction speakers or only air conduction speakers, which is not limited in the present application, and can be selected according to actual needs by those skilled in the art.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 5, which is a structural schematic diagram of the first antenna 400 in FIG. 3. In some embodiments, the first antenna 400 is provided with a first feeding point 401 and a grounding point 402, the first feeding point 401 can be connected to the switching element 603 on the circuit board assembly 600 through a pogo pin, and the grounding point 402 can be connected to the common terminal on the circuit board assembly 600 through a pogo pin.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 6, which is a structural schematic diagram of the second antenna 500 in FIG. 4. In some embodiments, the second antenna 500 is connected to the switching element 603 on the circuit board assembly 600 via the radio frequency wire carried on the wearing assembly 100. The second antenna 500 can be provided with only a second feeding point 501, which is connected to the switching element 603 on the circuit board assembly 600 via the radio frequency wire to reduce the wiring difficulty of the radio frequency wire.

[0046] For example, the first antenna 400 can be a PIFA antenna, and the second antenna 500 can be a monopole antenna. In some embodiments, the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 can also be the same type of antenna, and the specific type of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 is not limited in the present application, and can be selected according to actual needs by those skilled in the art.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the earphone 1000 can also include a stick microphone assembly 800, which includes a rotating shaft mechanism 801, a stick body 802, and a microphone 803, the microphone 803 and the rotating shaft mechanism 801 are respectively arranged at both ends of the stick body 802, the rotating shaft mechanism 801 is rotatably connected to the first lower housing 202 of the first speaker assembly 200, and the first antenna 400 is arranged in a semi-enclosed manner around the periphery of the rotating shaft mechanism 801.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the shape of the first antenna 400 can be adapted to the shape of the first lower housing 202, and the whole is arranged in a "C" shape. That is, the first antenna 400 can be a semi-closed semi-ring structure, which is arranged around the rotating shaft mechanism 801, and avoids the rotating shaft mechanism 801 in space, which is beneficial to improve the space utilization. By arranging the first antenna 400 in a semi-closed semi-ring structure, it can adapt to complex and diverse shell structure designs, which is beneficial to improve the universality of the first antenna 400.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a gain horizontal plane pattern of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500. In some embodiments, within at least one gain horizontal plane pattern equidistant from the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500, the radiation gain of the first antenna 400 is superior to that of the second antenna 500 within a first angle range, and the radiation gain of the second antenna 500 is superior to that of the first antenna 400 within a second angle range, the first angle range is greater than the second angle range, and the control module 601 sets the first antenna 400 to be in an active state in response to a power-on instruction of the earphone 1000.

[0050] The first angle range being greater than the second angle range indicates that the overall omnidirectionality of the first antenna 400 is superior to that of the second antenna 500. At this time, the first antenna 400 with better omnidirectionality can be used as a main antenna, and the second antenna 500 can be used as an auxiliary antenna. The control module 601 can set the first antenna 400, i.e., the main antenna, to be in an active state in response to a power-on instruction of the earphone 1000, so that the earphone 1000 has relatively better communication performance after being powered on. By setting the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 to have different directivity, using one with better omnidirectionality as the main antenna and the other as the auxiliary antenna, the frequency of antenna switching can be reduced, and the power consumption of the earphone 1000 can be reduced.

[0051] In some embodiments, the sum of the first angle range and the second angle range can be 360 degrees, so that one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 can be adaptively switched to be in an active state to achieve 360-degree omnidirectional radiation.

[0052] For example, when the opposite end device, such as a mobile phone, in communication with the earphone 1000 is in a certain relative position with respect to the wearer / earphone, so that the antenna gain direction is within the first angle range, the control module 601 can set the first antenna 400 to be in an active state and set the second antenna 500 to be in a standby state. When the movement of the earphone 1000 or the opposite end device causes the antenna gain direction to be within the second angle range, the working performance of the first antenna 400 can be poor, and when the control module 601 detects that the current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone 1000 is less than or equal to a preset threshold, the control module 601 can set the second antenna 500 to be in an active state and set the first antenna 400 to be in a standby state; when the control module 601 detects that the current antenna communication performance parameter of the earphone 1000 is greater than the preset threshold, the control module 601 can keep the first antenna 400 in an active state and keep the second antenna 500 in a standby state, so that the active antenna is always in a high-performance state.

[0053] In some embodiments, the control module 601 is configured to detect the signal strength received by one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 in the working state, and generate the current antenna communication performance parameter in real time.

[0054] For example, the earphone 1000 and the mobile phone are communicating, the first antenna 400, i.e., the main antenna, is in the working state, and the second antenna 500, i.e., the auxiliary antenna, is in the standby state. The control module 601 can detect the signal strength received by the first antenna 400 from the mobile phone, and generate the current antenna communication performance parameter in real time. When the control module 601 detects that the current antenna communication performance parameter is less than or equal to the preset threshold, i.e., the communication demand cannot be met, the control module 601 sets the second antenna 500 to the working state and sets the first antenna 400 to the standby state.

[0055] Detecting the current antenna communication performance parameter and determining the threshold value by the control module 601 at the earphone 1000 end is conducive to quickly switching the working antenna when the current working antenna communication performance of the earphone 1000 is poor.

[0056] In some embodiments, the control module 601 is configured to receive the current antenna communication performance parameter or a switching instruction generated based on the current antenna communication performance parameter from a peer device, wherein the peer device is communicatively connected to the earphone 1000 through one of the first antenna 400 and the second antenna 500 in the working state, and generates the current antenna communication performance parameter in real time based on the received signal strength.

[0057] For example, the peer device is specifically a mobile phone, the earphone 1000 and the mobile phone are communicating, the first antenna 400, i.e., the main antenna, is in the working state, and the second antenna 500, i.e., the auxiliary antenna, is in the standby state. The mobile phone can detect the signal strength received from the earphone 1000, and generate the current antenna communication performance parameter in real time, and then send the current antenna communication performance parameter to the control module 601, so that the control module 601 can determine whether the current antenna communication performance parameter is less than or equal to the preset threshold. In some embodiments, the mobile phone detects the signal strength received from the earphone 1000, and generates the current antenna communication performance parameter in real time, and further determines whether the current antenna communication performance parameter is less than or equal to the preset threshold. In this case, the mobile phone can generate a switching instruction when the current antenna communication performance parameter is less than or equal to the preset threshold, and send the switching instruction to the control module 601.
