Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing process of using wireless headphones is cumbersome, requiring a headphone holder and multiple steps for pairing, which negatively impacts user experience and the stability of the pairing connection.
Innovation Solution
A wireless headphone set comprising a first and second headphone, each equipped with a speaker component, wireless module, and sensor component, where the control module communicates with these components to establish pairing connections and receive audio data without the need for a headphone holder, simplifying operations and improving user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a headphone holder is used to control pairing, then the pairing function can be achieved, but the operation steps become cumbersome and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the control function from the headphone holder and relocates it to the headphones themselves. The sensor component and control module are integrated into the headphones, allowing them to autonomously detect wearing states and initiate pairing without requiring the headphone holder's intervention. This eliminates the need for users to interact with the headphone holder's buttons or interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The headphones are designed to automatically detect when they are being worn through sensor components (such as acceleration sensors or contact sensors) and autonomously initiate the pairing process with audio output devices. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual intervention via the headphone holder, simplifying the user experience while maintaining pairing functionality.
2Ease of operation
If the control function is integrated into the headphone itself, then the operation steps are simplified, but the hardware structure of the headphone becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control module within the headphone is designed to perform multiple functions: detecting wearing states through sensor components, initiating pairing sequences, maintaining wireless connections, and controlling audio playback. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single integrated control module, the patent avoids the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby limiting the increase in hardware complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the sensor component, control module, wireless communication module, and audio processing functions into an integrated structure within the headphone. This merging of previously separate functions (that were previously distributed between headphones and headphone holder) into the headphone unit achieves operational simplification while managing hardware complexity through functional integration.
3Reliability
If pairing control is moved from headphone holder to headphone, then the success rate and stability of pairing connection is improved, but the headphone requires additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical control interface (buttons and switches on the headphone holder) with electronic sensor components and wireless communication protocols. Acceleration sensors, contact sensors, or other electronic sensors detect the wearing state and trigger pairing sequences through electronic control modules, eliminating the need for physical mechanical interactions and improving connection reliability through more precise and consistent electronic detection and control.

AI summary
A wireless headphone set and a control method for a wireless headphone set are provided. The wireless headphone set includes: a speaker component, a wireless module, a sensor component, and a control module. The control module receives a target trigger signal from the sensor component, and performs the following operations based on the target trigger signal: instructing the wireless module to establish a first pairing connection with a second headphone, instructing the wireless module to pair with a target device and establish a second pairing connection to receive audio data, sending the audio data to the second headphone, and sending the audio data to the speaker component to convert the audio data into an audio. In the process of using the wireless headphone set, a headphone case is not required, so that operation steps of the user are simplified, and user experience is improved.
