[0030] The headphone hearing compensation method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to headphones, and the above-mentioned headphones can be TWS headphones; in terms of in-ear form, the in-ear form of the above-mentioned headphones can be semi-in-ear or ear clip, and of course it can also be full-in-ear; the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on the type of the above-mentioned headphones.

[0031] For example, FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a headset provided in one embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the headset 100 may include a processor 110 and a communication interface 120. Optionally, the headset 100 may further include a memory 130. The processor 110, the communication interface 120, and the memory 130 may communicate with each other via an internal connection path to transmit control and / or data signals. The memory 130 is used to store computer programs, and the processor 110 is used to call and execute the computer programs from the memory 130.

[0032] The processor 110 and the memory 130 may be combined into a processing device, or more commonly, they are independent components. The processor 110 is used to execute program codes stored in the memory 130. In specific implementations, the memory 130 may also be integrated into the processor 110, or independent of the processor 110.

[0033] The headset 100 may also include a microphone 140 and a speaker 150. The microphone 140, also known as a "microphone" or "speaker," is configured to convert sound signals into electrical signals. In this embodiment, the headset 100 may include at least two microphones 140. For example, the headset 100 may include one error microphone and one reference microphone, or two error microphones and one reference microphone.

[0034] The speaker 150 , also called a “speaker,” is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. The headset 100 can listen to music or make hands-free calls through the speaker 150 .

[0035] In addition, in order to make the functions of the earphone 100 more complete, the earphone 100 may further include a power supply 160 for providing power to various devices or circuits in the earphone 100 .

[0036] It should be noted that the structure of the earphone 100 shown in Figure 1 is only the structure of one earphone. Generally speaking, earphones are used in pairs, and the left earphone and the right earphone have the same structure. Both the left earphone and the right earphone can be implemented using the structure shown in Figure 1.

[0037] It should be understood that the processor 110 in the headset 100 shown in FIG. 1 may be a system on a chip (SOC), and the processor 110 may include a central processing unit (CPU).

[0038] For ease of understanding, the following embodiments of this application will take the headphones having the structure shown in Figure 1 as an example, and combine the accompanying drawings and application scenarios to specifically explain the headphone hearing compensation method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0039] FIG2 is a flow chart of a headphone hearing compensation method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the headphone hearing compensation method may include:

[0040] Step 201: In response to detecting that a user turns on the earphone service, the first earphone 100 obtains a hearing experience of the first earphone 100 and a hearing experience of a second earphone connected to the first earphone 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, the user enabling the headset service may include: the user using the headset for noise reduction, music listening, or conversation services, and this embodiment does not limit the types of the headset services.

[0042] The first earphone 100 is worn on the user's left ear, and the second earphone is worn on the user's right ear. This is for ease of description only and does not limit the present invention. The first earphone 100 can also be worn on the user's right ear, and the second earphone can be worn on the user's left ear. In some embodiments, the first earphone 100 can be the earphone worn first by the user. In some embodiments, the first earphone 100 can be the primary earphone.

[0043] In some examples, the first earphone 100 may obtain the auditory experience of the second earphone connected to the first earphone 100 by: the first earphone 100 obtains the auditory experience of the second earphone transmitted by the second earphone. In other words, the auditory experience of the second earphone may be obtained by the second earphone and then transmitted to the first earphone 100. Of course, the first earphone 100 may also directly obtain the auditory experience of the second earphone. This embodiment does not limit the method by which the first earphone 100 obtains the auditory experience of the second earphone.

[0044] In some embodiments, the auditory experience of headphones can be represented by the amplitude and / or phase characteristics of the sound signal received at the user's periosteal point. For example, the amplitude of the sound signal received at the periosteal point of the user's left ear by the headphone worn on the user's left ear is a first amplitude, and the amplitude of the sound signal received at the periosteal point of the user's right ear by the headphone worn on the user's right ear is a second amplitude. If the first headphone 100 determines that the first amplitude and the second amplitude are equal or the difference is within a preset range, then the auditory experience of the headphone worn on the left ear and the headphone worn on the right ear is determined to be consistent.

[0045] In step 202 , the first earphone 100 determines compensation amounts corresponding to the earphone to be compensated and the earphone to be compensated according to the listening experience of the first earphone 100 and the listening experience of the second earphone.

[0046] The earphone to be compensated may be at least one of the first earphone and the second earphone, and the compensation amount includes the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played to be compensated.

[0047] In some examples, the first earphone 100 determines the compensation amounts corresponding to the earphone to be compensated and the earphone to be compensated based on the listening experience of the first earphone 100 and the listening experience of the second earphone. This may be as follows: the first earphone 100 determines whether the listening experience of the first earphone 100 and the listening experience of the second earphone are consistent; if they are inconsistent, the first earphone 100 compares the listening experience of the first earphone 100 and the listening experience of the second earphone, determines that the earphone with the smaller listening experience among the first earphone 100 and the second earphone is the earphone to be compensated, and determines that the difference between the listening experience of the first earphone and the second earphone is the compensation amount corresponding to the earphone to be compensated.

[0048] In step 203 , the first earphone 100 adjusts the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played by the earphone to be compensated according to the compensation amount.

[0049] In some examples, the first earphone 100 adjusts the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played according to the compensation amount, which can be as follows: the first earphone 100 determines the amplitude and / or phase of the equalizer (EQ) of the earphone to be compensated according to the compensation amount, so that the earphone to be compensated can adjust the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played by the earphone to be compensated according to the amplitude and / or phase of the equalizer itself.

[0050] In the above-mentioned headphone hearing perception compensation method, in response to detecting that the user has turned on the headphone service, the first headphone 100 obtains the hearing perception of the first headphone 100 and the hearing perception of the second headphone connected to the first headphone 100. The first headphone 100 determines the compensation amounts corresponding to the headphone to be compensated and the above-mentioned headphone to be compensated based on the hearing perception of the first headphone 100 and the hearing perception of the second headphone. The compensation amount includes the amplitude and / or phase to be compensated of the sound signal to be played. Then, the first headphone can adjust the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played by the above-mentioned headphone to be compensated according to the above-mentioned compensation amount, so that the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played by the first headphone or the second headphone can be targetedly compensated according to the hearing perception of the first headphone and the second headphone, so that the hearing perception of the first headphone and the second headphone are consistent, thereby improving the user's auditory experience.

[0051] FIG3 is a flow chart of a headphone hearing compensation method provided by another embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , in the embodiment shown in FIG2 of the present application, step 201 may include:

[0052] Step 301 : In response to detecting that a user turns on the earphone service, the first earphone 100 obtains a sound signal picked up by an error microphone in the first earphone 100 .

[0053] In some examples, the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the first earphone 100 can be a sound signal after the environmental interference noise signal is eliminated. That is, the first earphone 100 can obtain the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the first earphone 100 and the sound signal picked up by the reference microphone in the first earphone 100, and then use the sound signal picked up by the above-mentioned reference microphone to eliminate the environmental interference noise signal in the sound signal picked up by the above-mentioned error microphone, so as to use the sound signal after the above-mentioned environmental interference noise signal is eliminated as the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the first earphone 100.

[0054] Additionally, in some examples, the first earphone 100 acquiring the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the first earphone 100 may include: the first earphone 100 acquiring the sound signal picked up by at least one error microphone in the first earphone 100. In other words, the number of error microphones in the first earphone 100 may be one or more, and thus, the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the first earphone 100 may be the sound signal picked up by one or more (for example, two) error microphones in the first earphone 100.

[0055] In step 302, the first earphone 100 determines the sound signal received at the periosteal point of the user's left ear based on the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the first earphone 100 and the mapping relationship between the sound signal picked up by the error microphone and the sound signal received at the periosteal point of the human ear. The sound signal received at the periosteal point of the user's left ear represents the hearing perception of the first earphone 100.

[0056] In step 303 , the first earphone 100 obtains a listening experience of the second earphone connected to the first earphone 100 .

[0057] In some examples, the hearing sensation of the second earphone can be obtained by the second earphone, and then the second earphone transmits the obtained hearing sensation of the second earphone to the first earphone 100. In a specific implementation, the way in which the second earphone obtains the hearing sensation of the second earphone can be: the second earphone obtains the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the second earphone, and the second earphone determines the sound signal received by the above-mentioned user's right ear periosteal point based on the sound signal picked up by the error microphone in the second earphone and the mapping relationship between the sound signal picked up by the error microphone and the sound signal received by the human ear periosteal point. The sound signal received by the above-mentioned user's right ear periosteal point is the hearing sensation of the second earphone. As described above, the number of error microphones in the first earphone 100 can be one or more, and similarly, the number of error microphones in the second earphone can also be one or more, and the number of error microphones in the first earphone 100 and the second earphone is the same.

[0058] Of course, the first earphone 100 may also directly obtain the hearing experience of the second earphone in the above manner. This embodiment does not limit the manner in which the first earphone 100 obtains the hearing experience of the second earphone.

[0059] In the above-mentioned headphone hearing compensation method, the first headphone 100 can obtain the hearing perception of the first headphone 100 and the hearing perception of the second headphone, so that the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played by the first headphone or the second headphone can be targetedly compensated according to the hearing perception of the first headphone and the second headphone, so that the hearing perception of the first headphone and the second headphone is consistent, thereby improving the user's auditory experience.

[0060] FIG4 is a system architecture diagram of an earphone hearing compensation method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG4 , each of the first earphone 100 and the second earphone has only one error microphone.

[0061] Referring to FIG4 , in response to detecting that the user has turned on the earphone service, the first earphone 100 can obtain the sound signal picked up by the error microphone 44 in the first earphone 100 and the sound signal picked up by the reference microphone 45 in the first earphone 100. Then, the external environment interference elimination module in the first earphone 100 uses the sound signal picked up by the reference microphone 45 to eliminate the environmental interference noise signal in the sound signal picked up by the error microphone 44, and obtain SP ERP_L ERP is the abbreviation of error point, that is, the sound signal after eliminating the above-mentioned environmental interference noise signal is used as the sound signal SP picked up by the error microphone 44 in the first earphone 100 ERP_L .

[0062] Similarly, in response to detecting that the user turns on the earphone service, the second earphone can obtain the sound signal picked up by the error microphone 49 in the second earphone and the sound signal picked up by the reference microphone 410 in the second earphone, and then the external environment interference elimination module in the second earphone uses the sound signal picked up by the reference microphone 410 to eliminate the environmental interference noise signal in the sound signal picked up by the error microphone 49, and obtain SP ERP_R That is, the sound signal after eliminating the above-mentioned environmental interference noise signal is used as the sound signal SP picked up by the error microphone 49 in the second earphone.

DRP_L Among them, DRP is the abbreviation of periosteum point (drump point), SP DRP_L It is the sound signal received by the user's left ear periosteum point 41, that is, the hearing experience of the first earphone 100.

DRP_R Among them, SP DRP_R It is the sound signal received by the user's right ear periosteum point 46, that is, the hearing sensation of the second earphone.

[0065] Next, the second headset can SP DRP_R Transmitted to the first headset 100, the first headset 100 can compare SP DRP_L With SP DRP_R If they are not consistent, the first headset 100 compares SP DRP_L With SP DRP_R The size of SP DRP_L With SP DRP_R The earphone corresponding to the smaller value is the earphone to be compensated, and the SP DRP_L With SP DRP_R The difference between them is the compensation amount corresponding to the earphone to be compensated, and the compensation amount includes the amplitude and / or phase to be compensated of the sound signal to be played.

[0066] Finally, the first earphone 100 can determine the amplitude and phase of the EQ of the earphone to be compensated based on the above compensation amount. In this way, the earphone to be compensated can adjust the amplitude and / or phase of the sound signal to be played by the earphone to be compensated according to the amplitude and / or phase of the EQ itself, so that the listening experience of the first earphone 100 and the second earphone is consistent, thereby improving the user's listening experience.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the second earphone is used to obtain SP DRP_R , and then SP DRP_R The example of transmitting the data to the first headset 100 is used for explanation. In the specific implementation, the second headset can also obtain the SP ERP_R Afterwards, SP ERP_R Transmitted to the first headset 100, the first headset 100 determines SP DRP_R , this embodiment does not limit this.
