TWS Earpiece Relay Mode Automatic Talk Right Arbitration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile phone-based real-time bilingual translation systems require users to alternately enable the sound pickup function and switch languages manually, leading to complex user operations and poor user experience due to the need for multiple voice channel management and susceptibility to ambient noise.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a control method that automatically performs talk right arbitration between a master headset and a slave headset connected to an electronic device, allowing for seamless bilingual or multilingual translation without user intervention, using a single uplink communication channel, and utilizing noise reduction capabilities to enhance voice pickup effectiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually alternate enabling sound pickup function and switching languages for bilingual translation, then translation functionality is achieved, but user operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines which user should speak next and manages the voice channels without user intervention. The electronic device autonomously controls the sound pickup function activation and language switching based on detected speech signals from either user, eliminating the need for manual operation alternation while maintaining the translation functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors speech signals from both users and uses this feedback to automatically determine who should speak next. Based on the detected speech presence or absence, the electronic device dynamically adjusts which sound pickup function is active and switches languages accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to user behavior in real-time.
2Extent of automation
If a single uplink communication channel is used between headsets and electronic device, then device complexity is reduced, but automatic talk right arbitration and multilingual translation capability are improved
Solution Approach 1:
The single uplink communication channel dynamically switches between transmitting from the master headset and the slave headset based on who has the talk right. The channel structure remains simple physically, but its functional assignment changes dynamically according to speech detection and arbitration results, enabling automatic multilingual translation without requiring multiple permanent communication paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication functionality is segmented into distinct roles (master headset direct communication, slave headset relayed communication) that share a single physical uplink channel. This segmentation allows the system to achieve automatic talk right arbitration by assigning different communication responsibilities to different headsets while maintaining a simplified single-channel architecture.
3Productivity
If manual language switching is required for translation, then translation accuracy can be controlled, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the appropriate translation language pair based on which user is detected to be speaking. When user A speaks, the system automatically selects the language pair for translating to user B's language, and vice versa. This self-service language selection eliminates manual intervention while maintaining translation accuracy by adapting to the active speaker in real-time.

AI summary
This application provides a control method and an electronic device, relates to the field of communications technologies, and is conducive to simplifying a user operation in a real-time bilingual translation process and enhancing user experience. The method specifically includes: An electronic device is connected to a master headset and a slave headset. The master headset performs talk right arbitration. A voice automatically picked up by a headset having a talk right may be uploaded to the electronic device. The electronic device translates the uploaded voice, and then returns a translation result.
