Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of headphone wearing technology, and in particular to a method for adjusting the fit of headphones, a storage medium, and headphones. Background Technology

[0002] Existing clip-on and over-ear headphones primarily achieve a comfortable fit through the elastic force generated by the elastic changes of elastic and flexible components within the headphones. However, differences in head and ear structure and size among users can lead to issues such as headphones being too tight or too loose. Current technology typically addresses this by requiring manual readjustment by the user, which doesn't adequately solve the comfort problem and can also negatively impact noise cancellation performance.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for adjusting the fit of headphones, a storage medium, and headphones to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The target value is obtained based on the set of reference values ​​and target values;

[0023] Obtain the absolute value of the difference between the target value and the fit to get the adjustment value of the adjustment part.

[0024] In one implementation, the step of obtaining the target value set based on the bonding state includes:

[0025] If the fitting state is the first state, then obtain the first set and use the first set as the target value set;

[0026] If the fitting state is the second state, then obtain the second set and use the second set as the target value set.

[0027] In one embodiment, the step of adjusting the fit of the flexible member according to the adjustment value and the fit state includes:

[0028] If the bonding state is the first state, the adjusting component reduces the bonding degree of the flexible component according to the adjustment value;

[0030] In one embodiment, the step of detecting whether the fit of the flexible component inside the earphone falls within a preset fit range includes:

[0031] Detects whether the headphones are being worn;

[0032] If the headphones are being worn, the system checks whether the fit of the flexible components inside the headphones falls within a preset fit range.

[0033] A second aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the headphone wearing fit adjustment method described above.

[0034] A third aspect of the present invention provides an earphone, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor, when executing the computer program, implements the steps of the earphone wearing fit adjustment method described above.

For example, the term "above" may also be used in certain situations to indicate a dependency or connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0043] The headphone wearing fit adjustment method provided by this invention is mainly applied to clip-on headphones and over-ear headphones to achieve adaptive adjustment of the headphone wearing fit, improving the fit and comfort of the headphones, enhancing the noise cancellation effect to a certain extent, and improving the user's wearing experience. The aforementioned headphones are equipped with an elastic element for providing elastic clamping force and a flexible element for conforming to the user's ear or head.

[0044] The following is the content of the first aspect of the present invention:

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the steps of the method for adjusting the fit of the headphones include:

[0046] S1. Check whether the fit of the flexible components inside the earphone falls within the preset fit range;

[0047] S2. If not, then determine the fit of the earphones;

[0048] S3. Obtain the first deformation amount of the flexible component and the second deformation amount of the elastic component inside the earphone.

[0049] S4. Determine the adjustment value of the adjustment component inside the earphone based on the fit, fit state, first deformation amount and second deformation amount;

[0050] S5. Based on the adjustment value and the fitting state, the adjustment member adjusts the fitting degree of the flexible member.

[0051] The flexible component is mounted on the earphone to conform to the user's head or ear; it can be an air bladder inside the earphone or a flexible pad on the earphone. The elastic component is mounted on the earphone to provide a clamping force for wearing the earphone. The adjusting component is a drive component used to deform the flexible component to change the degree of fit between the flexible component and the user's head or ear.

[0052] Fit is used to reflect the degree of contact between the flexible component and the user. Fit range is the range of fit between the flexible component and the user when the headphones are comfortably worn; this fit range can be obtained in advance through extensive testing. Fit states include a first state indicating a tight fit, a second state indicating a loose fit, and a third state indicating a comfortable fit.

[0053] The first deformation is the degree of deformation of the flexible component after the user wears the headphones and is subjected to pressure; the second deformation is the degree of deformation of the elastic component after the user wears the headphones; the adjustment value is the degree to which the adjustment component adjusts the fit of the flexible component.

[0054] After the user puts on the headphones, the fit of the flexible component is measured, and it is checked whether the measured fit meets the requirements of a preset fit range. If the fit of the flexible component does not meet the preset requirements, the current fit state of the headphones is determined based on the relationship between the fit and the fit range. That is, the current fit state of the headphones is determined to be either a first state or a second state based on the comparison between the fit and the end value of the fit range. After determining the fit state of the headphones, the first deformation amount of the flexible component and the second deformation amount of the elastic component inside the headphones are measured. Specifically, the first deformation amount can be determined by measuring the pressure on the flexible component, and the second deformation amount can be determined by measuring the degree of bending of the elastic component. It is easy to understand that both the first deformation amount of the flexible component and the second deformation amount of the elastic component will affect the fit between the flexible component and the user's head or ear. When determining the adjustment value, the first deformation amount and the second deformation amount need to be used comprehensively to ensure the accuracy and adaptability of the determined adjustment value.

[0055] After obtaining the first and second deformation amounts, a set of target values ​​is determined based on the fit, fit state, and the first and second deformation amounts. The required adjustment value is then determined from this set of target values. Specifically, different fit states correspond to different sets of target values. Based on the fit state, the corresponding set of target values ​​is determined. Then, considering both the first and second deformation amounts, the corresponding target value is determined from the set of target values. Finally, combining the fit and the target value, the corresponding adjustment value is determined. After obtaining the adjustment value, the adjustment component inside the earphone adjusts the fit of the flexible component according to the adjustment value and the fit state.

[0056] Understandably, by assessing the fit of the flexible component, the fit of the earphone, the first deformation of the flexible component, and the second deformation of the elastic component, the adjustment value of the adjusting component is determined. This enables adaptive adjustment of the earphone fit, improving the fit and comfort of the earphone, enhancing the noise cancellation effect to some extent, and improving the user's wearing experience.

[0057] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S1 of detecting whether the fit of the flexible component inside the earphone falls within a preset fit range includes:

[0058] S11. Obtain the pressure value of the preset pressure sensor inside the flexible component;

[0059] S12. Based on the pressure value, the fit is obtained;

[0060] S13. Determine whether the fit falls within the preset fit range.

[0061] The pressure sensors are positioned at key contact points between the flexible component and the user to detect the pressure values ​​at these points. Specifically, the number of pressure sensors can be determined based on the number of key contact points specified in the actual design. Preferably, three pressure sensors are used, with three sensors at each key contact point, one for each point. This method, by acquiring pressure values ​​from sensors at different key locations and utilizing the principle of three points forming a surface, reflects the contact between the flexible component and the user in a surface-level contact manner. This provides a better picture of the contact and improves the accuracy of subsequent checks to ensure the fit meets requirements.

[0062] When a user puts on the headphones, the flexible component is compressed. A pressure sensor inside the flexible component collects the pressure and outputs a corresponding pressure value. After obtaining the pressure value output by the pressure sensor, the fit of the flexible component can be calculated based on this pressure value. Specifically, the fit can be calculated using either an average summation method or a weighted summation method. After obtaining the fit, it is then determined whether the fit falls within a preset fit range.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the pressure values ​​are calculated using a weighted summation method to determine the corresponding fit degree. This means that the pressure values ​​measured by pressure sensors at different key locations have different weights. It is easy to understand that the degree of fit between the earphone and the user varies at different locations; therefore, using a weighted summation method allows for a more accurate calculation of the corresponding fit degree, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent wearing adjustments.

[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S2 of determining the fit state of the earphones includes:

[0065] S21. Obtain the upper and lower limits of the fitting interval;

[0066] S22. If the fit is greater than the upper limit, the fit state is the first state.

[0067] S23. If the fit is less than the lower limit, the fit state is the second state.

[0068] The upper and lower limits represent the endpoints of the fit interval. The first state represents the tight fit of the headphones, and the second state represents the loose fit.

[0069] After detecting that the fit of the flexible components inside the earphone does not meet the preset fit range requirements, it is necessary to determine the current fit status of the earphone. The fit status of the earphone can be determined based on the relationship between the fit and the upper and lower limits of the fit range.

[0070] Specifically, the upper and lower limits of the fit range are obtained, and then the fit degree of the flexible component is compared with the upper and lower limits respectively. When the fit degree is greater than the upper limit, the fit state is the first state, that is, the headphones are worn in a tight state; when the fit degree is less than the lower limit, the fit state is the second state, that is, the headphones are worn in a loose state, thus determining the current fit state of the headphones. It's easy to understand that by comparing the fit degree with the upper and lower limits respectively, the fit state of the headphones can be quickly determined, thereby improving the overall adjustment efficiency.

[0071] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S4, which determines the adjustment value of the adjustment component inside the earphone based on the fit, fit state, first deformation amount, and second deformation amount, includes:

[0072] S41. Obtain the target value set based on the bonding state;

[0073] S42. Based on the first deformation amount and the second deformation amount, obtain the reference value;

[0074] S43. Obtain the target value based on the set of reference values ​​and target values;

[0075] S44. Obtain the absolute value of the difference between the target value and the fit to get the adjustment value of the adjustment part.

[0076] The target value set is a pre-defined collection of fit values ​​within the comfortable wearing range. The reference value reflects the overall deformation of the structural components on the earphone used for clamping under the current wearing condition. The target value is the newly adjusted fit value of the flexible components based on the current earphone fit condition.

[0077] After determining the fit of the earphones, a set of target values ​​is obtained based on the fit. Specifically, the set of target values ​​can be obtained directly based on the fit, or it can be combined with the fit degree of the flexible component, and the set of target values ​​corresponding to the fit degree is obtained based on the range in which the fit degree falls.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, a direct acquisition of target adjustments is adopted. Specifically, the target value set includes a combination of a first set and a second adjustment. If the fitting state is a first state, the first set is acquired and used as the target value set; if the fitting state is a second state, the second set is acquired and used as the target value set.

[0079] After obtaining the target value set, the corresponding reference values ​​are determined based on the obtained first and second deformation amounts. Since both the first deformation amount of the flexible component and the first deformation amount of the elastic component affect the fit of the flexible component, and the magnitude of the second deformation amount of the elastic component affects the first deformation amount of the flexible component to a certain extent, the reference values ​​can be calculated by weighting the first and second deformation amounts. Preferably, the weighting coefficients for the first and second deformation amounts can be 0.4 and 0.6, or 0.3 and 0.7. The weighting coefficients for the first and second deformation amounts can be determined based on the materials of the elastic and flexible components in the actual design, and are not limited here.

[0080] After obtaining the reference value and target value sets, the mapping relationship between the reference value and target value sets can be used to filter out the target values ​​corresponding to the reference values ​​from the target value set. Specifically, the reference values ​​are first determined by range determination to identify the target range in which the reference values ​​fall, and then the target values ​​in the target value set that correspond to that target range are obtained, thus obtaining the target values ​​corresponding to the reference values.

[0081] After obtaining the target value, the absolute value of the difference between the target value and the fit of the flexible component under the current wearing state is obtained, and then the adjustment value of the adjustment component is obtained.

[0082] It is understandable that by determining the corresponding set of target values ​​through the fit state, and then combining the first deformation amount and the second deformation amount to determine the target value, and then obtaining the adjustment value of the adjustment component based on the target value and the fit degree, the accuracy of the obtained adjustment value is improved, thereby improving the accuracy of the subsequent adjustment of the flexible component by the adjustment component.

[0083] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S5, which adjusts the fit of the flexible member based on the adjustment value and the fit state, includes:

[0084] S51. If the bonding state is the first state, the adjusting component reduces the bonding degree of the flexible component according to the adjustment value.

[0085] S52. If the bonding state is the second state, the adjusting component increases the bonding degree of the flexible component according to the adjustment value.

[0086] After obtaining the adjustment value, the adjustment component further adjusts the fit of the flexible component based on the fit status. When the fit status is in the first state, that is, when the headphones are currently worn in a tight state, the adjustment component reduces the fit of the flexible component according to the adjustment value to reduce the pressure between the flexible component and the user; when the fit status is in the second state, that is, when the headphones are currently worn in a loose state, the adjustment component increases the fit of the flexible component according to the adjustment value to increase the degree of fit between the flexible component and the user.

[0087] Specifically, the flexible component can be an airbag or a flexible pad. When the flexible component is an airbag, the adjustment component can adjust the fit of the flexible component by controlling the inflation or deflation of the airbag. When the flexible component is a flexible pad, an electronically controlled adjustment component can be used to push the flexible pad, thereby adjusting the fit of the flexible component.

[0088] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, before step S1 of detecting whether the fit of the flexible component inside the earphone falls within a preset fit range, the method further includes:

[0089] S10. Detect the wearing status of the headphones;

[0090] S20. If the headphones are being worn, check whether the fit of the flexible components inside the headphones falls within the preset fit range.

[0091] Specifically, the wearing status of the headphones can be detected using hardware such as light sensors and capacitive sensors. Before adjusting the fit of the headphones, the wearing status is detected first. When the headphones are detected to be in a wearing state, the system then checks whether the fit of the flexible components inside the headphones falls within a preset fit range.

[0092] Understandably, detecting whether the earphone is being worn before triggering the detection of the fit of the flexible components inside the earphone can effectively reduce the frequency of triggering the detection of the fit of the flexible components inside the earphone, reduce the power consumption of the earphone, and improve the accuracy of the fit adjustment to a certain extent.

[0093] In summary, this application determines the adjustment value of the adjusting component by considering the fit of the flexible component, the fit of the earphone, the first deformation of the flexible component, and the second deformation of the elastic component. This enables adaptive adjustment of the earphone fit, improves the fit and comfort of the earphone, enhances the noise reduction effect of the earphone to a certain extent, and improves the user's wearing experience.

When the headphone fitting adjustment method program instruction 30 is executed by the processor 20, the aforementioned headphone fitting adjustment method is implemented.

The processor is typically used to control the overall operation of the headphones. In this embodiment, the processor is used to run program code stored in a readable storage medium or to process data.

[0099] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods of the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product is stored in a readable storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes several instructions to cause a terminal (which may be a mobile phone, computer, server, air conditioner, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods of the various embodiments of the present invention.
