[0021] <Application Scenarios> In one embodiment, a headphone control system to which the headphone control method of the present disclosure can be applied may include headphones and an audio source device.

[0022] The earphones can be TWS earphones, and can include a main earphone and a secondary earphone. The main earphone can include a first terminal communication module, a first processing unit, a first device communication module, a first physiological signal detection module, and a first wearing detection module. The first terminal communication module is used for communication between the main earphone and the audio source device, and the first terminal communication module can be a first Bluetooth module. The first device communication module is used for communication between the main earphone and the secondary earphone, and the first device communication module can be a first ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) wireless transmission module. The first physiological signal detection module is used to detect the physiological characteristic signals of the wearer of the main earphone, and the first physiological signal detection module can include bioelectric electrodes, a photoplethysmography sensor (PPG) sensor, and a skin conductance electrode. The first wearing detection module is used to detect the wearing status of the main earphone.

[0023] The secondary earphone may include a second terminal communication module, a second processing unit, a second device communication module, a second physiological signal detection module, and a second wear detection module. The second terminal communication module is used for communication between the secondary earphone and the audio source device; this module may be a second Bluetooth module. The second device communication module is used for communication between the secondary earphone and the primary earphone; this module may be a second ISM wireless transmission module. The second physiological signal detection module is used to detect the physiological signals of the wearer of the secondary earphone; this module may include bioelectric electrodes, a PPG sensor, and electrodermal activity electrodes. The second wear detection module is used to detect the wearing status of the secondary earphone. The audio source device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, desktop computer, wearable device, or any other device with audio output function. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0024] In related technologies, users typically need to manually select between single-user and dual-user modes via a corresponding headphone application on the terminal device or a physical button on the headphones. This operation is cumbersome and prone to forgetting to switch, leading to incorrect audio allocation. In this embodiment, the headphones can determine the current usage mode based on the physiological characteristic signals collected by the main and secondary headphones. The current usage mode includes single-user and dual-user modes, so that corresponding audio data streams can be configured for the main and secondary headphones respectively based on the current usage mode. That is, the headphones can automatically identify whether it is single-user or dual-user use through physiological characteristic signals and automatically allocate audio channels according to the identification result.

[0025] <Method Implementation> Figure 1 An embodiment of the present disclosure illustrates a headphone control method that can be executed by headphones, for example, by a headphone processor. This processor may include, for example, a first processing unit of the main headphone, or alternatively, a first processing unit of the main headphone and a second processing unit of the secondary headphone. Figure 1 As shown, the headphone control method of this embodiment may include the following steps S1100 to S1300: Step S1100: Obtain the first physiological characteristic signal collected by the main earphone and the second physiological characteristic signal collected by the secondary earphone.

[0026] The main earphone may include a first physiological signal detection module, which can collect the physiological characteristic signals of the wearer of the main earphone.

[0027] The first physiological signal detection module may include, for example, bioelectric electrodes, a PPG sensor, and a skin conductance electrode. The bioelectric electrodes are used to acquire the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of the wearer of the main earphone. The PPG sensor is used to acquire the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal of the wearer of the main earphone. The skin conductance electrode is used to acquire the skin conductance response signal of the wearer of the main earphone. That is, the first physiological characteristic signal may include an ECG signal, a PPG signal, and a skin conductance response signal.

[0028] The secondary earphone may include a second physiological signal detection module, which can collect the physiological characteristic signals of the wearer of the secondary earphone.

[0029] The second physiological signal detection module may include, for example, bioelectric electrodes, a PPG sensor, and a skin conductance electrode. The bioelectric electrodes are used to acquire the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of the wearer of the secondary earphone. The PPG sensor is used to acquire the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal of the wearer of the secondary earphone. The skin conductance electrode is used to acquire the skin conductance response signal of the wearer of the secondary earphone. That is, the first physiological characteristic signal may include the ECG signal, the PPG signal, and the skin conductance response signal.

[0030] For example, the first physiological characteristic signal can be a first signal vector composed of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal, and a skin conductance response (SCRR) signal. The second physiological characteristic signal can be a second signal vector composed of an ECG signal, a PPG signal, and a SCRR signal.

[0031] After performing the above step S1100 to acquire the first physiological characteristic signal collected by the main earphone and the second physiological characteristic signal collected by the secondary earphone, proceed to: Step S1200: Determine the current usage mode of the headphones based on the first physiological characteristic signal and the second physiological characteristic signal.

[0032] The current usage modes include single-user mode and dual-user mode. Single-user mode is when one user uses both the main and secondary earpieces simultaneously. Dual-user mode is when one user uses the main earpiece and the other uses the secondary earpiece.

[0033] In one example, after acquiring the first physiological feature signal collected by the main earphone and the second physiological feature signal collected by the secondary earphone, the similarity between the first and second physiological feature signals can be calculated. If the similarity meets a preset condition, the current usage mode of the earphones can be determined to be a single-person usage mode; if the similarity does not meet the preset condition, the current usage mode of the earphones can be determined to be a dual-person usage mode.

[0034] The preset conditions may include a similarity greater than or equal to a first preset similarity, which can be preset based on experience and scenario. When the similarity is greater than or equal to the first preset similarity, it indicates that the first physiological feature signal and the second physiological feature signal are physiological feature signals of the same user.

[0035] For example, the similarity between the first signal vector and the second signal vector can be obtained. If the similarity is greater than or equal to the first preset similarity, the current usage mode of the headphones is determined to be a single-person usage mode. If the similarity is less than the first preset similarity, the current usage mode of the headphones is determined to be a two-person usage mode.

[0036] After performing the above step S1200 to determine the current usage mode of the headphones based on the first physiological characteristic signal and the second physiological characteristic signal, proceed to: Step S1300: Configure corresponding audio data streams for the main earphone and the secondary earphone respectively according to the current usage mode.

[0037] In this embodiment, the main earphone and the secondary earphone can be configured with corresponding audio data streams according to the different current usage modes.

[0038] In one example, step S1300, which configures corresponding audio data streams for the main earphone and the secondary earphone respectively according to the current usage mode, may further include: Scenario 1: When the current usage mode is single-user mode and there is one audio data stream, control the main earphone and the secondary earphone to play the audio data stream synchronously.

[0039] For example, in single-user mode, if the audio source device has only one audio data stream, it can directly send this audio data stream to both the main and secondary earpieces. The first terminal communication module of the main earpiece receives the audio data stream and processes it through a first processing unit. The second terminal communication module of the secondary earpiece receives the audio data stream and processes it through a second processing unit. This method of directly distributing the audio data stream to the main and secondary earpieces by the audio source device can reduce the transmission latency of the audio data stream.

[0040] For example, in single-user mode, if the audio source device has only one audio data stream, it can first send this audio data stream to the main earphone. The main earphone's first terminal communication module receives this audio data stream. On one hand, the main earphone processes this audio data stream through its first processing unit; on the other hand, the main earphone's first device communication module sends this audio data stream to the secondary earphone. The secondary earphone's second terminal communication module receives this audio data stream and processes it through its second processing unit. This method of forwarding audio data streams from the main earphone to the secondary earphone reduces the earphone's power consumption.

[0041] Scenario 2: When the current usage mode is single-user mode and there are two audio data streams, the high-priority audio data stream is configured to be played on the main earphone, and in response to the user's touch input on the secondary earphone, the low-priority audio data stream is configured to be played on the secondary earphone.

[0042] The two audio data streams may include a first audio data stream and a second audio data stream, and the two audio data streams are typically audio data streams from different applications of the audio source device, and the two audio data streams may have different priorities.

[0043] For example, the two audio data streams can include a call audio data stream and a media playback audio data stream. The call audio data stream comes from a calling application, while the media playback audio data stream can come from a multimedia application such as a music application. Furthermore, the call audio data stream can have a higher priority than the media playback audio data stream; of course, users can also set the priorities of different audio data streams according to their needs.

[0044] Touch input can be a tap input, such as a user double-tapping the secondary earphone.

[0045] In this scenario, if the current usage mode is single-user mode, and the audio device simultaneously hosts both call audio and media playback audio streams (e.g., listening to music in a music app while simultaneously answering a call in a phone app), the call audio stream has higher priority than the media playback audio stream. Therefore, the audio source device can configure the call audio stream to the primary earpiece. The user can then double-click the secondary earpiece, and the audio source device can configure the media playback audio stream to the secondary earpiece, thus achieving dual audio output in single-user mode. In one example, step S1300, which configures corresponding audio data streams for the main earphone and the secondary earphone respectively according to the current usage mode, may further include: Scenario 3: When the current usage mode is a dual-user mode and there is one audio data stream, control the main earphone and the secondary earphone to play the audio data stream synchronously.

[0046] For example, when the current usage mode is a dual-user mode, if the audio source device has only one audio data stream, the audio source device can directly send the audio data stream to the main earphone and the secondary earphone respectively. The first terminal communication module of the main earphone receives the audio data stream and processes it through the first processing unit. The second terminal communication module of the secondary earphone receives the audio data stream and processes it through the second processing unit, thereby reducing the transmission latency of the audio data stream.

[0047] Scenario 4: When the current usage mode is a dual-user mode and there are two audio data streams, the first physiological feature signal and the second physiological feature signal are compared with the pre-stored physiological feature signals to obtain the comparison results. Based on the comparison results, the target earphone is determined from the main earphone and the secondary earphone. The high-priority audio data stream is configured to be played on the target earphone, and the low-priority audio data stream is configured to be played on the other earphone.

[0048] The target earphone can be the earphone used by the primary user, and the pre-stored physiological characteristic signals can be the physiological characteristic signals of the primary user. By comparing the physiological characteristic signals collected by the primary earphone and the secondary earphone with the pre-stored physiological characteristic signals, the earphone used by the primary user can be determined as the target earphone. For example, the physiological characteristic signals can be compared with the pre-stored physiological characteristic signals to obtain the similarity between the two. If the similarity is greater than or equal to a second preset similarity, the primary earphone or the secondary earphone that collected the physiological characteristic signals is determined as the target earphone.

[0049] In this scenario, if the current usage mode is a dual-user mode, and the audio device simultaneously hosts two audio data streams: a call audio stream and a media playback audio stream (e.g., listening to music while simultaneously answering a call using a call app), the call audio stream has a higher priority than the media playback audio stream. In this case, the similarity between the physiological feature signal collected by the primary earpiece and pre-stored physiological feature signals, as well as the similarity between the physiological feature signal collected by the secondary earpiece and pre-stored physiological feature signals, can be obtained. For example, if the similarity between the physiological feature signal collected by the primary earpiece and the pre-stored physiological feature signal is greater than a second preset similarity, the primary earpiece can be designated as the target earpiece. The audio source device can then allocate the higher-priority call audio stream to the primary earpiece and the lower-priority media playback audio stream to the secondary earpiece.

[0050] In other words, the headset will force the call audio stream to be routed to the headset used by the primary user, while forcing the media audio stream to continue playing on the headset used by the other user. The other user cannot hang up the primary user's call through their own headset, and the primary user cannot deprive the other user of their music through their own headset, thus achieving audio privacy and operational isolation.

[0051] In this embodiment, the earphone can acquire the first physiological characteristic signal collected by the main earphone and the second physiological characteristic signal collected by the secondary earphone. Based on the comparison result of the first and second physiological characteristic signals, it determines whether the current usage mode of the earphone is a single-person usage mode or a dual-person usage mode. In order to configure the corresponding audio data streams for the main earphone and the secondary earphone respectively according to the different current usage modes, that is, the earphone can automatically identify whether it is currently used by a single person or shared by two people based on the physiological characteristic signals collected by the main earphone and the secondary earphone respectively, and automatically allocate audio channels according to this status, thereby improving the accuracy of audio channel allocation.

[0052] In one embodiment, the headphone control method of this disclosure further includes: acquiring a first wearing status signal collected by the main headphone and a second wearing status signal collected by the secondary headphone; when the first wearing status signal indicates that the main headphone is in a wearing state and the second wearing status signal indicates that the secondary headphone is in a wearing state, acquiring a first physiological characteristic signal by the main headphone and a second physiological characteristic signal by the secondary headphone.

[0053] The main earphone may include a first wearing detection module, which can collect the wearing status signal of the main earphone so as to determine whether the main earphone is being worn.

[0054] The secondary earphone may include a second wearing detection module, which can collect the wearing status signal of the secondary earphone to determine whether the secondary earphone is being worn.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first physiological characteristic signal is collected through the main earphone and the second physiological characteristic signal is collected through the secondary earphone only when both the main earphone and the secondary earphone are being worn, so as to reduce the power consumption of the main earphone and the secondary earphone.

[0056] In one embodiment, the headphone control method of this disclosure further includes the following steps S3100 to S3400: Step S3100: When the current usage mode is a dual-user mode, the first physiological feature signal and the second physiological feature signal are compared with the pre-stored physiological feature signals to obtain the comparison results.

[0057] Step S3200: Based on the comparison result, determine the target earphone from the main earphone and the secondary earphone, and acquire a new wearing status signal collected by the other earphone among the main earphone and the secondary earphone excluding the target earphone.

[0058] The determination of the target earphone can be referred to the above embodiments.

[0059] Step S3300: When a change in the set wearing state of the other earphone is detected based on the new wearing state signal, a new physiological characteristic signal collected by the other earphone is acquired.

[0060] The setting of wearing status changes can include the change from wearing to not wearing to wearing status changes.

[0061] Step S3400: If the new physiological characteristic signal and the pre-stored physiological characteristic signal meet the second preset condition, switch the dual-user mode to the single-user mode.

[0062] The second preset condition may include a similarity between the new physiological feature signal and a pre-stored physiological feature signal that is greater than or equal to a third preset similarity. The third preset similarity may be the same as the second preset similarity.

[0063] Through this embodiment, if the authentication result is the same person when using the dual-person mode, the dual-person mode can be switched to the single-person mode.

The switching module is used to switch the dual-user mode to the single-user mode when the new physiological characteristic signal and the pre-stored physiological characteristic signal meet the second preset condition.
