[0037] Please also read Figures 1 to 3 The ear-hook earphone provided by the embodiment of the present application is now described. An ear-hook earphone comprises: an earphone body 10, an ear hook 20 and a sensor 30.

[0038] A main control board 11 and a wireless communication module 12 are provided in the earphone body 10, and the wireless communication module 12 is electrically connected to the main control board 11; one end of the ear hook 20 is connected to the earphone body 10; the sensor 30 is provided on the ear hook 20 and is electrically connected to the main control board 11, and is used to collect the user's heart rate signal and / or blood oxygen signal; the number of sensors 30 is two, and the two sensors 30 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the ear hook 20.

[0039] The earphone body 10 can convert electrical signals into sound signals and convert sound signals into electrical signals. For example, a user can listen to music and make calls through the earphone body 10 .

[0040] In this embodiment, when the user wears the ear-hook earphone, the sensor 30 can collect the user's heart rate signal and blood oxygen signal at the same time. In one embodiment, when the user wears the ear-hook earphone, the sensor 30 can collect the user's heart rate signal. In other embodiments, when the user wears the ear-hook earphone, the sensor 30 can collect the user's blood oxygen signal.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the ear-hook earphone provided by the present application is provided with a sensor 30 on the ear-hook 20. When the user wears the ear-hook earphone for use, the sensor 30 can collect the user's heart rate signal and / or blood oxygen signal, and can send the collected signal to the main control board 11. After the main control board 11 processes the received signal, it sends it to the external mobile terminal through the wireless communication module 12, thereby realizing the monitoring of the user's heart rate and blood oxygen. In this way, when the user is exercising, as long as he wears the ear-hook earphone, he can realize the audio signal transmission function and can The heart rate and / or blood oxygen monitoring functions are realized without the need to wear additional equipment for monitoring heart rate and / or blood oxygen, thereby reducing the burden on the user's exercise; in addition, by setting two sensors 30, when the user wears the ear-hook earphone, the earphone body 10 fits into the user's ear canal, and the ear hook 20 is hung on the user's ear, one of the sensors 30 faces the back of the user's ear, and the other sensor 30 faces the user's brain, and the two sensors 30 simultaneously collect the user's heart rate signal and / or blood oxygen signal, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the user's heart rate and / or blood oxygen monitoring.

[0042] It should be noted that the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet or a computer, and the user may learn about the changes in his or her heart rate and / or blood oxygen level during exercise through the display screen of the mobile terminal.

[0043] Specifically in this embodiment, the wireless communication module 12 is a Bluetooth module with low power consumption and fast data transmission speed.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 The two sensors 30 are both arranged at one end of the ear hook 20 away from the earphone body 10.

[0045] By arranging the two sensors 30 at one end of the ear hook 20 away from the earphone body 10, when the ear hook 20 is hung on the user's ear, it is effectively avoided that the sensor 30 produces a sense of pressure on the user's ear, which is conducive to improving the wearing comfort.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, in the circumferential direction of the ear hook 20, the angle between the two sensors 30 is 60°-80°.

[0047] Optionally, in the circumferential direction of the ear hook 20 , the angle between the two sensors 30 may be 60°, 65°, 70°, 75° or 80°, etc.

[0048] In the circumferential direction of the ear hook 20, by setting the angle between the two sensors 30 to 60°-80°, it is effectively ensured that when worn, one of the sensors 30 is aligned with the back of the user's ear, and the other sensor 30 can be aligned with the user's brain.

In this way, the sensor 30 can collect the user's heart rate signal and / or blood oxygen signal through the light guide block 40.

[0058] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sensor 30 includes a light wave transmitting module 31 and a light wave receiving module 32 , the light wave transmitting module 31 and the light wave receiving module 32 are spaced apart, and the ear hook 20 is provided with through holes 21 at positions corresponding to the light wave transmitting module 31 and the light wave receiving module 32 .

[0059] Specifically, since the number of sensors 30 is two, the number of through holes 21 is four, and the light wave transmitting module 31 and the light wave receiving module 32 of one sensor 30 are respectively arranged corresponding to two of the through holes 21, and the light wave transmitting module 31 and the light wave receiving module 32 of the other sensor 30 are respectively arranged corresponding to the other two through holes 21.

[0060] Optionally, the light wave transmitting module 31 is used to transmit red light and infrared light required for collecting heart rate signals and / or blood oxygen signals to the user's skin, and the light wave receiving module 32 is used to receive red light and infrared light reflected back from the user's skin.

[0061] Furthermore, in the length direction of the ear hook 20 , the distance between the light wave transmitting module 31 and the light wave receiving module 32 of the sensor 30 is 6.5 mm-8.5 mm.

[0062] Optionally, the distance between the lightwave transmitting module 31 and the lightwave receiving module 32 may be 6.5 mm, 7.0 mm, 7.5 mm, 8.0 mm or 8.5 mm, etc. In this embodiment, the distance between the lightwave transmitting module 31 and the lightwave receiving module 32 is 7.5 mm.

[0063] By setting the distance between the light wave transmitting module 31 and the light wave receiving module 32 of the sensor 30 to 6.5 mm-8.5 mm, the stability and accuracy of the signal acquisition by the sensor 30 can be effectively guaranteed.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the ear-hook earphone also includes a flexible circuit board 50 (Flexible Circuit Board, FP for short) and a wire 60. The flexible circuit board 50 is arranged inside the ear hook 20. One end of the wire 60 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 50, and the other end passes through the ear hook 20 and extends into the earphone body 10, and is electrically connected to the main control board 11. The sensor 30 is arranged on the flexible circuit board 50.

[0065] Specifically, the heart rate signal and / or blood oxygen signal collected by the sensor 30 is sent to the main control board 11 through the flexible circuit board 50 and the wire 60.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the ear-hook earphone further includes a battery 70 , which is disposed in an end of the earhook 20 away from the earphone body 10 , and the flexible circuit board 50 is electrically connected to the battery 70 .
