Description

[0002] An AP (Application Processor) is a central processing unit in a smart device (e.g., a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch) that is responsible for handling various applications and operating system tasks. It is mainly used for computing and processing application data in the device.

[0003] Audio information refers to information related to audio-related services, based on which the target audio can be processed.

Wake-up requires power, and the AP processor's power consumption for processing the target audio is also relatively high, resulting in high power consumption for the electronic device processing this low-power service. Furthermore, when the AP processor is running but the transmission path between it and the audio output device is occupied, processing the audio data by the AP processor leads to low efficiency, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0051] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure.

[0052] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding methods are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in this disclosure. In some other embodiments, the methods may include more or fewer steps than those described in this disclosure.

[0053] The following specific embodiments, combined with specific application scenarios, describe the audio information processing method provided in this disclosure. This method transmits audio information to a low-power processor, which then processes the target audio, thereby saving power and improving audio processing efficiency.

[0054] In implementation, this method can be applied to an electronic device; the electronic device can be equipped with an AP processor and a low-power processor; the low-power processor consumes less power than the AP processor when processing audio-related services; and can acquire audio information of the target audio in response to a trigger operation for the target audio.

[0055] In response to the AP processor not being woken up, or the AP processor being woken up but the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device being occupied, the audio information is transmitted to the low-power processor so that the low-power processor can process the target audio based on the audio information and output the processed target audio based on the audio output device.

[0056] Through the above embodiments, the electronic device can acquire the audio information of the target audio in response to a trigger operation targeting the target audio; and can transmit the audio information to the onboard low-power processor in response to the onboard AP processor not being woken up, or the AP processor being woken up but the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device being occupied. The low-power processor then processes the target audio based on the audio information and outputs the processed target audio based on the audio output device. Since the power consumption of the low-power processor in processing audio-related services is lower than that of the AP processor, the power consumption required for audio processing can be saved; in addition, since audio data can be processed in a timely manner when the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device is occupied, the efficiency of audio data processing can be improved.

[0057] The present disclosure will now be described through specific embodiments and in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a system architecture diagram illustrating an audio information processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1As shown, the electronic device can be equipped with an AP processor and a low-power processor. Both the low-power processor and the AP processor can handle audio-related services. The low-power processor consumes less power to process the service than the AP processor.

[0059] The electronic device can acquire the audio information of the target audio in response to a trigger operation for the target audio, and can transmit the audio information to the aforementioned low-power processor in response to the AP processor not being woken up, or the AP processor being woken up but the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device being occupied.

[0060] The low-power processor can receive audio information transmitted by the electronic device, process the target audio based on the audio information, and output the processed target audio based on the audio output device.

[0061] The audio information may include audio data. When the low-power processor receives the audio data, it can decode the audio data and play the decoded audio data based on the audio output device.

[0062] The audio information may include storage address information corresponding to the target audio. When the low-power processor receives the storage address information, it can obtain the audio data of the target audio based on the storage address information; it can decode the audio data and play the decoded audio data based on the audio output device.

[0063] The audio information may include control information corresponding to the target audio. When the low-power processor receives the control information, it can control the audio output device to perform the operation corresponding to the control information based on the control information corresponding to the target audio.

[0064] The electronic device can store audio format information, which may include audio formats supported by the low-power processor. Before transmitting the audio information to the low-power processor, the electronic device can determine whether the audio format of the target audio is an audio format supported by the low-power processor based on the audio format information. If the audio format of the target audio is an audio format supported by the low-power processor, the electronic device can further transmit the audio information to the low-power processor.

[0065] The electronic device may be configured with a hardware bus; the hardware bus may be used to transmit data related to audio services; the hardware bus includes a first interface for transmitting audio information to a low-power processor; and a second interface for transmitting the data processed by the low-power processor to an audio output device; the electronic device may call the first interface to transmit the audio information to the low-power processor for processing, and call the second interface to transmit the processed audio to the audio output device for output.

[0066] It should be noted that this method can also be used to process other low-power services and is not limited to audio information processing.

[0067] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an audio information processing method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned electronic device can perform the following steps:

[0069] Step 202: In response to a trigger operation on the target audio, obtain the audio information of the target audio.

[0070] The triggering operation can refer to the playback operation of the target audio, the stop playback operation of the target audio, or the volume adjustment operation of the target audio; this disclosure does not limit this operation.

[0071] The specific triggering method for the target audio can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0072] For example, the electronic device may be equipped with a user interface that can display control options corresponding to the target audio to the user. The electronic device can respond to the user's triggering operation on the control options displayed on the user interface, determine the control operation for the target audio, and can obtain the audio information of the target audio in response to the control operation for the target audio.

[0073] For example, the control options may include playback options. The electronic device may determine the playback operation for the target audio in response to a user's triggering operation on the playback options displayed on the user interface, and may obtain the audio information of the target audio in response to the playback operation for the target audio.

[0074] The audio information may refer to information related to audio-related services.

[0075] The specific content of the audio information can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0076] In one embodiment shown, the audio information may include at least one of the following: audio data; control information corresponding to the target audio; and storage address information corresponding to the target audio.

[0077] Audio data refers to data that records or transmits sound information. It typically includes various characteristics of sound, such as frequency, amplitude, and time, and is used to reproduce sound on different devices.

[0078] For example, when the triggering operation for the target audio is a playback operation, the audio data of the target audio can be obtained.

[0079] Control information corresponding to the target audio can refer to information used to control the output format of the audio. This control information may include control information triggered by the user for the target audio, or control information generated by the electronic device in response to a triggering operation for other audio to process the target audio.

[0080] For example, the control information may include indication information for instructing the processor to control the audio output device to play audio, indication information for instructing the processor to control the audio output device to stop playing audio, and indication information for instructing the processor to control the audio output device to temporarily stop playing audio.

[0081] For example, an electronic device can generate control information to lower the volume of a target audio in response to a trigger operation on other audio.

[0082] The storage address information corresponding to the target audio can refer to the storage address of the audio data of the target audio.

[0083] For example, the target audio can be stored on a server, and the storage address can refer to the storage address of the target audio on that server. Based on this storage address, the server can be accessed, and the audio data of the target audio can be retrieved from the server.

[0084] For example, the target audio can be stored in the local storage space of the electronic device, and the storage address can refer to the storage address of the target audio in that local storage space. Based on this storage address, the audio data of the target audio can be retrieved from the local storage space.

[0085] This method allows for the transmission of corresponding audio information based on the actual audio conditions, improving the flexibility of audio processing.

[0086] Step 204: In response to the AP processor not being woken up, or the AP processor being woken up but the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device being occupied, the audio information is transmitted to the low-power processor so that the low-power processor can process the target audio based on the audio information and output the processed target audio based on the audio output device.

[0087] When the AP processor is in a non-operating state, that is, a low-power state, the power consumption of waking up the AP processor and processing audio-related services by the AP processor is relatively high. Therefore, in order to avoid the power waste caused by waking up the AP processor and processing the target audio by the AP processor, the audio information can be transmitted to the low-power processor when the AP processor is not woken up, and the low-power processor can process the target audio based on the audio information.

[0088] When the AP processor is running, i.e., awakened, it can process the target audio and transmit the processed audio to the DSP microprocessor. The DSP microprocessor can then transmit the target audio to the audio output device via the I2S bus. However, since the I2S bus can be used by the AP processor to transmit other data while it is running, the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device may be occupied, preventing the timely transmission of the processed target audio and reducing audio processing efficiency. In this situation, the electronic device can transmit the audio information to a low-power processor, which will then process the target audio based on this information.

[0089] This method saves power consumption and improves the processing efficiency of the target audio.

[0090] In one embodiment shown, the electronic device stores audio format information; the audio format information includes audio formats supported by the low-power processor; the electronic device can determine, based on the audio format information, whether the audio format of the target audio is an audio format supported by the low-power processor before transmitting the audio information to the low-power processor; if the audio format of the target audio is an audio format supported by the low-power processor, the audio information is further transmitted to the low-power processor.

[0091] Audio format refers to the file format used to encode and store audio data. It typically defines the structure, compression method, storage method, and other related parameters of the audio data.

[0092] The specific content of the aforementioned audio format information can be set and adjusted according to the audio formats supported by the low-power processor, and this disclosure does not limit it in this regard.

[0093] For example, the audio format information may include WAV (Waveform Audio File Format), MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group Layer Audio 3), and FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec).

[0094] The electronic device can determine whether the target audio format is supported by the low-power processor based on the audio format information. If the target audio format is supported by the low-power processor, the audio information can be further transmitted to the low-power processor, which will then process the target audio based on the audio information. If the target audio format is not supported by the low-power processor, the audio information can be transmitted to the AP processor, which will then process the target audio based on the audio information.

[0095] For example, the audio format information may include WAV and AP3 formats. When the target audio is in WAV format, the electronic device can determine that the target audio is in an audio format supported by the low-power processor, and can further transmit the audio information to the low-power processor, which will then process the target audio based on the audio information. When the target audio is in FLAC format, the electronic device can determine that the target audio is in an audio format not supported by the low-power processor, and can transmit the audio information to the AP processor, which will then process the target audio based on the audio information.

[0096] In this way, audio information corresponding to audio formats not supported by the low-power processor can be avoided, thereby improving audio processing efficiency.

[0097] In one embodiment shown, the electronic device is configured with a hardware bus for transmitting data related to audio services. The hardware bus includes a first interface for transmitting audio information to a low-power processor and a second interface for transmitting data processed by the low-power processor to an audio output device. The first interface is invoked to transmit audio information to the low-power processor for processing of target audio based on the audio information, and the second interface is invoked to transmit the processed target audio to the audio output device for output.

[0098] A hardware bus can refer to an actual physical connection facility used to transfer data between different components in a computer or embedded system. In this disclosure, a hardware bus can be configured in an electronic device for transmitting data related to audio services, enabling data transfer between modules and processors within the electronic device.

[0099] For example, the hardware bus may include a first interface for transmitting audio information to a low-power processor, and a second interface for transmitting data processed by the low-power processor to an audio output device.

[0100] For example, the first interface may include an interface provided to an application, in which the application can call the first interface to transmit audio information to the low-power processor; the first interface may also include an interface provided to an audio processing module, in which the audio processing module can call the first interface to transmit received audio information sent by the application to the low-power processor.

[0101] For example, a low-power processor can process the target audio based on the audio information and call the second interface to transmit the processed target audio to the audio output device for output.

[0102] In this way, audio information can be transmitted based on the hardware bus used to transmit audio-related data even when other buses are occupied, thereby improving audio processing efficiency.

[0103] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for processing audio information according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0104] The electronic device can be equipped with a low-power processor and an AP processor, the low-power processor consuming less power than the AP processor when handling audio-related services.

[0105] like Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned low-power processor can perform the following steps:

[0106] Step 302: Receive audio information of the target audio transmitted by the electronic device; wherein the audio information is acquired by the electronic device in response to a trigger operation for the target audio and transmitted to the low-power processor in response to the AP processor not being woken up, or the AP processor being woken up but the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device being occupied.

[0107] Step 304: Based on the audio information, process the target audio and output the processed target audio based on the audio output device.

[0108] Since the power consumption of the low-power processor in handling audio-related services is lower than that of the AP processor, power consumption can be saved by having the low-power processor handle the target audio.

[0109] When the AP processor is awakened, it can process the target audio and transmit it to the audio output device via the I2S bus. However, since the I2S bus can be used by the AP processor to transmit other data while it is running, the transmission path between the AP processor and the audio output device may be occupied, preventing the timely transmission of the processed target audio and reducing audio processing efficiency. In this situation, the electronic device can transmit the audio information to a low-power processor, which can then process the target audio based on this information, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0110] In addition, the low-power processor can be in an operating state. Due to the hardware limitations of the low-power processor, even if the low-power processor is always in an operating state, its power consumption is not high. Therefore, the low-power processor does not need to be woken up before receiving the target audio information transmitted by the electronic device, and thus there is no power consumption required for wake-up, which can further save power. In addition, since the low-power processor can directly process the target audio based on the received audio information, the processing efficiency of audio information can be further improved.

[0111] The audio output device can be configured according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on it.

[0112] For example, the audio output device can be a speaker, headphones, or other devices capable of outputting audio.

[0113] In one embodiment shown, the audio information may include audio data; the low-power processor may decode the audio data and play the decoded audio data based on an audio output device.

[0114] Audio data refers to data that records or transmits sound information. It typically includes various characteristics of sound, such as frequency, amplitude, and time, and is used to reproduce sound on different devices.

[0115] For example, the audio information could be audio data recording music A. After receiving the audio data, the low-power processor could decode the audio data and play the decoded audio data based on the audio output device.

[0116] In one embodiment shown, the audio information may include storage address information corresponding to the target audio; the low-power processor may obtain the audio data of the target audio based on the storage address information; decode the audio data; and play the decoded audio data based on the audio output device.

[0117] This storage address information can refer to the storage address of the audio data of the target audio.

[0118] For example, the target audio can be stored on a server, and the storage address can refer to the storage address of the target audio on that server. Based on this storage address, the low-power processor can access the server and retrieve the audio data of the target audio from the server.

[0119] For example, the target audio can be stored in the local storage space of the electronic device, and the storage address can refer to the storage address of the target audio in that local storage space. Based on this storage address, the low-power processor can retrieve the audio data of the target audio from the local storage space.

[0120] In one embodiment shown, the audio information may include control information corresponding to the target audio; the low-power processor may control the audio output device to perform an operation corresponding to the control information for the target audio based on the control information corresponding to the target audio.

[0121] Control information corresponding to the target audio can refer to information used to control the output format of the audio. This control information may include control information triggered by the user for the target audio, or control information generated by the electronic device in response to a triggering operation for other audio to process the target audio.

[0122] For example, the control information may include instruction information for instructing the processor to control the audio output device to play audio. The low-power processor may control the audio output device to play the target audio based on the control information corresponding to the target audio.

[0123] For example, the control information may include instruction information for instructing the processor to control the audio output device to stop playing audio. The low-power processor may control the audio output device to stop playing the target audio based on the control information corresponding to the target audio.
