[0017] In this invention, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c alone can represent: a alone, b alone, c alone, a combination of a and b, a combination of a and c, a combination of b and c, or a, b, and c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] The terms “center,” “longitudinal,” “lateral,” “up,” “down,” “left,” “right,” “front,” and “back,” etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] The terms "connected" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, in circuit structures, "connected" or "connected" can refer not only to physical connections but also to electrical or signal connections. This could be a direct connection (physical connection) or an indirect connection via at least one intermediate component, as long as the circuit is connected. It could also refer to the internal connection between two components. Similarly, a signal connection can refer to a connection via a circuit or a media, such as radio waves. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] With the deepening of international exchanges, the demand for cross-language communication has increased significantly. As a result, a wide variety of headphones have emerged, mainly divided into wired communication headphones and wireless Bluetooth headphones. However, none of the existing headphones have translation functions. This means that users cannot translate the voice signals received by the headphones or the voice signals they emit online, leading to low work efficiency and a poor user experience.

[0021] In addition, the technology mainly relies on independent translation tools for speech translation. For example, when holding international conferences, users usually use translation machines for translation. When users use smart terminals (such as mobile phones) to make voice or video calls with international clients, they need to send the voice signal from the smart terminal to the translation machine first. After the translation machine finishes translating, the translated voice is sent to the headset for playback. This results in high translation latency and the need to purchase additional translation machines, leading to high costs.

[0022] To overcome the shortcomings of the aforementioned related technologies, this utility model provides a pair of headphones with language translation functionality. These headphones can communicate wiredly with a smart terminal via a USB-C interface unit, reducing communication latency. Then, an AI (Artificial Intelligence) processing unit controls a wireless communication module to send the voice signal to be translated to a cloud translation server for online translation. Finally, an audio output module plays back the translated voice signal. This allows for real-time translation of received or transmitted voice signals during user calls, improving user efficiency and user experience.

[0023] Figure 1 For one of the schematic diagrams of the headphone structure with language translation function provided in this embodiment of the present invention, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 As shown, the headset with language translation function provided in this embodiment includes: an AI processing unit 13, an audio input module 11, an audio output module 12, a wireless communication module 14, control firmware 15, and a USB-C interface unit 10.

[0024] The audio input module 11 and the audio output module 12 are both electrically connected to the AI ​​processing unit 13. The AI ​​processing unit is electrically connected to the wireless communication module and the control firmware 15, respectively. The USB-C interface unit 10 is electrically connected to the audio input module 11 and the audio output module 12, respectively. The USB-C interface unit 10 is used to connect to the smart terminal to establish a wired data transmission and power supply connection with the smart terminal.

[0025] The audio input module 11 is used to collect the voice signals transmitted by the smart terminal and the voice signals emitted by the user received by the USB-C interface unit 10, and send the voice signals to the AI ​​processing unit 13; the AI ​​processing unit 13 is used to recognize the voice signals, and if it is determined that the voice signals need to be translated, it sends the voice signals to the wireless communication module 14; the control firmware 15 is used to control the operation of the wireless communication module 14, so that the wireless communication module 14 sends the voice signals to be translated to the cloud translation server 16; the cloud translation server 16 is used to perform online translation of the voice signals to be translated, and send the translated voice signals to the audio output module 12; the audio output module 12 is used to play the translated voice signals.

[0026] The cloud translation server 16 is equipped with a pre-trained large-scale speech translation model, enabling background translation of speech signals. Since the processing chip in the cloud translation server 16 typically has powerful computing capabilities, it can perform rapid background translation of speech signals and is applicable to multiple languages, thus improving translation speed.

[0027] The earphones provided by this utility model do not require connection to an additional voice translation machine, saving hardware costs. At the same time, they can translate the received or sent voice signals in real time during user calls, improving user work efficiency and user experience.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the USB-C interface unit 10 includes a USB-C interface that can be plugged into and connected to mainstream electronic devices on the market. This allows for communication transmission between the headset and the smart terminal via the USB-C interface unit 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the USB-C interface unit 10 enables voice signal transmission between the headset and the smart terminal. Using this wired communication method for voice signal transmission improves voice transmission efficiency. In another embodiment, the smart terminal can also power the headset via the USB-C interface unit 10, charging the headset while simultaneously transmitting voice signals.

[0029] Figure 2 Please refer to the second schematic diagram of the headphone structure with language translation function provided in this embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the earphone further includes a power module 17, which is electrically connected to a USB-C interface unit 10. The power module 17 can be charged through the USB-C interface unit 10. The power module 17 generally includes at least an energy storage battery and a charging management module. The charging management module is used to manage the charging of the energy storage battery. The power module 17 supplies power to the entire earphone.

[0030] Figure 3 Please refer to the third schematic diagram of the headphone structure with language translation function provided for the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the AI ​​processing unit 13 includes a speech recognition unit 131. The speech recognition unit 131 is used to identify the current language of the currently input speech signal and determine the target language that the speech signal to be translated needs to be translated into. It then generates a translation control signal based on the current language and the target language, and packages the translation control signal and the speech signal to be translated into a package and sends it to the wireless communication module 14. For example, when a user is talking to an English-speaking customer, if the speech recognition unit 131 detects that the speech signal received by the current audio input module 11 is in English, then, if the translation function is enabled, it generates a translation control signal. This translation control signal allows the user to control the translation of the English speech signal into a Chinese speech signal.

[0031] In one embodiment of this invention, the AI ​​processing unit 13 further includes a machine translation module 132, which is used to perform local translation of the speech signal to be translated when the wireless communication module 14 is unable to function. For example, if the wireless communication module 14 is unable to establish a communication connection with the cloud translation server 16, the control firmware 15 can control the machine translation module to perform local translation of the speech signal.

[0032] Understandably, the machine translation module 132 is equipped with a pre-trained small speech translation model, enabling local translation of speech signals. Due to the limited computing power of the processing chip in the headset, the locally configured machine translation module can translate simple or short conversations. This ensures that the headset's translation function remains unaffected even when the wireless communication module 14 cannot establish a communication connection with the cloud translation server 16, thus guaranteeing uninterrupted user productivity.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the AI ​​processing unit 13 further includes a speech synthesis unit 133. The core function of the speech synthesis module 133 (VoiceOutputModule) is to convert text information into human-readable speech in real time, thereby realizing the sound output function in human-computer interaction.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the wireless communication module 14 is used to automatically create a mobile hotspot or automatically connect to a preset network after power-on, and establish a secure encrypted channel with the cloud translation server 16 through the created hotspot or preset network. For example, when the USB-C interface unit 10 of the headset establishes a communication connection with the mobile phone, the wireless communication module 14 is automatically triggered to create a local hotspot to communicate with the router, thereby enabling the headset to communicate with the cloud translation server 16, or the wireless communication module 14 in the headset is automatically triggered to establish a communication connection with the preset network. After the wireless communication module 14 establishes a communication connection with the cloud translation server 16, a secure encrypted channel is further generated for the transmission of voice signals, ensuring the security of voice signal transmission.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the audio output module 12 includes a multi-channel output unit, which is used to play the untranslated speech signal and the translated speech signal separately, so as to facilitate users to listen at the same time and improve office efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the AI ​​processing unit 13 and the wireless communication module 14 are integrated into a system on chip (SoC), which saves the size of the circuit and makes the headphones smaller.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
