The embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited to a specific structure of an execution body of an audio output method, as long as processing can be performed with an audio output method provided according to the embodiment of the present application by executing a code recorded with an audio output method of the embodiment of the present application. For example, the execution body of an audio output method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be a functional module in an electronic device that can call a program and execute the program, or a processing apparatus, such as a chip, applied to the electronic device.

Currently, some electronic devices may provide a split-screen function, that is, the electronic device runs at least two independent applications in the foreground at the same time, and windows of the at least two independent applications may be displayed on the display screen at the same time. For example, a mobile phone, a tablet, a large screen device, etc. may provide a split screen function, and windows of at least two application programs displayed by the split screen may be displayed on the large screen device left and right.

Of course, some electronic devices may operate multiple applications at the same time, or may display windows of multiple applications at the same time, where the applications are not operated in a split screen. For example, a notebook computer, etc. employing a window operating system may run and display windows for multiple applications simultaneously.

If multiple users want to use different application programs for providing audio output through one electronic device, the audio of different application programs can be played through different speakers on the electronic device.

As an example, referring to an application scenario provided in fig. 2, two users simultaneously view different video services provided by different video software through a large screen device, where user a is on the left and user B is on the right. The left side and the right side in the embodiment of the application are based on the direction when the user faces the display screen of the electronic device. The left side of the display screen of the large-screen device displays the window of the application A, and the right side of the display screen of the large-screen device displays the split-screen window of the application B.

The user A is located at the left side and views the video A provided by the application A, the user B is located at the right side and views the video B provided by the application B, the large-screen equipment is provided with two groups of speakers, one group of speakers can play the audio of the video A played by the application A, and the other group of speakers can play the audio of the video B played by the application B.

As another example of the application scenario shown in fig. 2, two users simultaneously project videos on respective mobile phones through a large-screen device, a projection application a and a projection application B can be operated in the foreground through the large-screen device, the user a plays the video a projected by the mobile phone a through the projection application a on the large-screen device, the user B plays the video B projected by the mobile phone B through the projection application B on the same large-screen device, the large-screen device itself is provided with two groups of speakers, one group of speakers can play audio of the video a played by the projection application a, and the other group of speakers can play audio of the video B played by the projection application B. Of course, in practical applications, when one screen-throwing application supports video files of two electronic devices to be simultaneously thrown, the screen-throwing application a and the screen-throwing application B may be the same screen-throwing application.

In the above example, the two sets of speakers on the large-screen device are usually close to each other, and different played sounds will interfere with each other, however, even if the two sets of speakers on the large-screen device are relatively far away from each other, the distance between the two sets of speakers will not exceed the range of the large-screen device due to the volume limitation of the large-screen device, so that the user a and the user B in front of the large-screen device are affected by the sound of the video watched by the other party, and cannot clearly hear the sound of the video watched by the user.

In view of this, the present embodiments provide another approach in this scenario. Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of communication modules for communicating with a wireless headset are disposed on the electronic device, where the plurality of communication modules may be respectively connected to different headsets, for example, a communication module a is connected to a headset a of a user a, and a communication module B is connected to a headset B of a user B. The large screen device sends audio corresponding to video A played by application A watched by user A to earphone A of user A for playing through communication module A, and sends audio corresponding to video B played by application B watched by user B to earphone B of user B for playing through communication module B.

In this way, the multiple users are respectively connected with the same electronic device through the respective earphone, the same electronic device can simultaneously run different audio/video applications, and different audio played by the different audio/video applications are sent to the earphones of different users through different communication modules on the electronic device, so that each user only hears the sound corresponding to the video watched by the user through the respective earphone.

Typically, the user sits in front of the large screen device in a left-right position, and the user can set or adjust the windows of the two applications displayed on the large screen device to be displayed in the left-right position, so that the window of the application that the left user wants to view is displayed on the left side, and the window of the application that the right user wants to view is displayed on the right side; the headphones worn by the left user may also be configured to receive audio for the left application, and the headphones worn by the right user receive audio for the right application.

In a specific implementation, a use position of each earphone may be set, for example, if a use position of an earphone a of a left user a is left, audio of a left application displayed by the large-screen device is received, and if a use position of an earphone B of a right user B is right, audio of a right application displayed by the large-screen device is received. If the left application displayed by the large-screen device is application A and the right application is application B, the audio received by the earphone A is application A and the audio received by the earphone B is application B.

As an embodiment of the application, if the use positions of the headphones set by the user initially are set incorrectly, the use positions of the two headphones can be adjusted on the large-screen device.

Referring to fig. 4, the user a wears the earphone a to sit on the left side, however, the use position of the earphone a set at the beginning is the right side, and the user B wears the earphone B to sit on the right side, however, the use position of the earphone B set at the beginning is the left side. In this case, if the user a sits on the left side to watch the left application a, but the worn earphone a receives the audio of the right application B, and the user B sits on the right side to watch the right application, but the worn earphone B receives the audio of the left application a, it is necessary that the user can perform corresponding operations on the interface displayed by the large screen device, and modify or exchange the use positions of the earphones of the two users.

As an example of modifying the use position of the headset, the headset a is still connected to the communication module a, but the use position of the headset a is modified to the left, and the application a on the left is the application a at this time, so the headset a is worn on the user a sitting on the left, the application a on the left is watched by the user a, and the audio received by the headset a worn by the user a is the application a; the earphone B is still connected with the communication module B, but the use position of the earphone B is modified to be the right side, and at the moment, the right side application is the application B, so the earphone B is worn on the user B sitting on the right side, the user B views the application B on the right side, and the earphone B worn by the user B receives the audio of the application B.

As another embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the scenario shown in fig. 3, if two users change seats during viewing, it is necessary to modify or exchange window positions of two applications displayed by the large screen device, and simultaneously modify or exchange use positions of two headphones.

Referring to fig. 5, after two users change positions, user B wears headset B to the left and user a wears headset a to the right, each user still wants to watch the video that they were watching, and thus, it is necessary to adjust the positions of the windows of the two applications displayed on the large screen device.

Referring to fig. 6, the window of the application B is adjusted to the left side of the large screen device, the window of the application a is adjusted to the right side of the large screen device, and since the use position of the earphone a is the left side, the left side application is already adjusted to the application B at this time, so the audio of the application B is output by the earphone a; similarly, the audio output by the earphone B is the audio of the current right application A.

In this case, it is also necessary to adjust the use positions of the respective two headphones.

As shown in fig. 6, before adjusting the use positions of the two headphones, the headphone a is connected to the communication module a, the set use position is left, the headphone B is connected to the communication module B, and the set use position is right.

Referring to fig. 7, the earphone a is still connected to the communication module a, but the set use position is modified to the right side, and the application on the right side displayed by the large screen device is application a, so that the earphone a worn by the user a receives audio of application a, and the application a on the right side is watched by the user a; the earphone B is still connected with the communication module B, but the set use position is modified to be at the left side, and the left application displayed by the large-screen equipment is application B at the moment, so that the earphone B worn by the user B receives audio which is application B, and the user B views the audio which is application B at the left side. In this way, even if two users exchange positions during viewing, it is possible to realize that a user sitting on the left side views a left-side video (a video previously viewed while sitting on the right side), a worn headphone receives sound of the left-side video as a user sitting on the right side views a right-side video (a video previously viewed while sitting on the left side), and a worn headphone receives sound of the right-side video by adjusting left-right positions of two applications displayed by the large-screen device and adjusting use positions of two headphones.

Of course, in the above application scenario, other solutions are also possible, for example, a communication module exchanging two earphone connections, two users exchanging worn earphones, etc., which will not be exemplified any more in the embodiments of the present application.

In addition, in practical application, other application scenarios may exist, for example, earphone wearing of two users is reversed; different solutions may also be provided for different application scenarios, and embodiments of the present application will not be illustrated.

As can be appreciated from some application scenarios listed above, the adjustment of the usage position of the headset can be achieved without changing the communication connection between the headset and the communication module, but changing the correspondence between the communication module and the left and right applications.

As another embodiment of the present application, the large screen device also provides an automatic detection scheme, that is, in the case of an error in the use position of the headphones, the user is not required to operate on the large screen device to adjust the use positions of the two headphones according to the operation of the user shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5 to 7. The relative position between the two earphones is automatically detected through the large-screen device, and the use positions of the two earphones are adjusted under the condition that the relative position between the two earphones is detected to be opposite to the use position set before. For example, if it is detected that the use position (preset) of the earphone whose actual position is on the left side is on the right side, the large screen apparatus resets the use position of the earphone whose actual position is on the left side to the left side and resets the use position of the earphone whose actual position is on the right side to the right side.

In order to more clearly understand the above application scenarios, first, a technical scheme of how two users receive audio corresponding to respective viewed videos through two headphones when viewing audio and video played by two applications displayed by an electronic device is described, and specifically, reference may be made to a timing diagram shown in fig. 8, where the timing diagram may be used to implement the application scenario shown in fig. 3.

S101, the large-screen device establishes communication connection with the earphone A through the communication module A.

In the application, at least two communication modules for establishing communication connection with the earphone are arranged on the large screen device, and the two communication modules can be the same type of communication module or different types of communication modules. Of course, in case the two communication modules are of the same type, the two communication modules of the same type may be integrated together.

If any communication module on the earphone a and the large-screen device establishes communication connection, under the condition that the communication modules on the earphone a and the large-screen device once establish communication connection with the earphone a can mutually detect the other party, the communication connection between the earphone a and the communication modules on the large-screen device once establish communication connection with the earphone a can be established without triggering by a user.

As an example, when the user turns on the power of the headset a, the communication module on the headset a and one of the communication modules on the large screen device may detect each other and have historically successfully established a communication connection, the communication modules on the headset a and the large screen device may directly establish a communication connection without the user's operation.

If the communication module on the earphone A and the large screen device are not connected, the user starts a communication module supporting the communication connection with the earphone A on the large screen device, searches for the earphone A through the search function of the communication module, and after searching for the earphone A, the user operates on the interface to trigger the large screen device and the earphone A to establish communication connection.

As an example of a communication connection, a bluetooth module is disposed on the headset a, and a bluetooth module may also be disposed on the large-screen device, where the bluetooth module on the headset a and the bluetooth module on the large-screen device establish a communication connection, so that bluetooth communication may be performed between the headset a and the large-screen device. Of course, the bluetooth module is only one example of establishing a communication connection, and in practical application, other communication modules may be used.

S102, after the communication module A of the large-screen device establishes communication connection with the earphone A, connection information is sent to the SystemUI of the large-screen device.

In this application, taking the bluetooth module as an example, the bluetooth module of the large screen device may transmit connection information to the upper layer system ui through other modules, where the connection information may include a unique identifier of the currently connected headset a, information of the bluetooth module connected to the headset a, and so on.

And S103, after the SystemUI of the large-screen device receives the connection information, displaying a setting interface, wherein the setting interface is used for prompting a user to set the using position of the earphone A.

In this embodiment of the present application, if the electronic device is provided with a plurality of communication modules that establish communication connection with the headphones, a situation may occur in which a plurality of users wear a plurality of headphones to receive audio corresponding to videos played by different applications of the electronic device, so that a use position of the headphones that establish communication connection needs to be set.

Taking two users simultaneously using a large screen device as an example, generally one user (for example, user a) is located on the left side, one user (for example, user B) is located on the right side, and the earphone worn by the user located on the left side needs to be set to be used at the left side, and the earphone worn by the user located on the right side needs to be set to be used at the right side. When a large screen device displays windows of two applications simultaneously, for convenient viewing, a user located on the left side typically views an application on the left side of the large screen device, and a user located on the right side typically views an application on the right side of the large screen device. Therefore, setting the use position of the headphones corresponds to setting whether the headphones receive audio of the left-side application or audio of the right-side application. After the earphone is connected with the communication module on the large-screen device, setting the use position of the earphone is equivalent to setting the audio sent by the communication module which is connected with the earphone to be the audio of the left application or the audio of the right application.

And S104, receiving the setting information of the earphone A by the SystemUI of the large-screen device, and sending the setting information of the earphone A to the AudioManager.

In the application, the user can input the left side or the right side on the setting interface, and of course, the user can also select the left side or the right side on the setting interface to set the using position of the earphone a. In this embodiment, the use position of the earphone a is set as the left side.

S105, the AudioManager of the large-screen device records setting information of the earphone A, wherein the setting information of the earphone A comprises the using position of the earphone A.

As an example, if the set use position of the headset a is on the left side, when the large-screen device simultaneously displays windows of two applications, the headset a receives audio of video played for the application located on the left side. Since the communication module that establishes the communication connection with the headset a has already been determined, it is also understood that when the large screen device displays windows of two applications simultaneously, the audio of the application located on the left will be sent to the communication module that establishes the communication connection with the headset a.

S106, the large-screen device establishes communication connection with the earphone B through the communication module B.

In this application, after the user B opens the headset B, the large-screen device may establish a communication connection with the headset B, and the manner in which the large-screen device establishes the communication connection with the headset B through the communication module B may refer to the description in step S101 that the large-screen device establishes the communication connection with the headset a through the communication module a, which is not described herein.

And S107, after the communication module B of the large-screen device establishes communication connection with the earphone B, the communication module B sends connection information to the SystemUI of the large-screen device.

In this application, taking the communication module as an example of the bluetooth module, the connection information may also include a unique identifier of the currently connected headset B, information of the bluetooth module that establishes connection with the headset B, and the like.

It should be noted that, although only one bluetooth module is shown in the drawings, in practical application, the bluetooth module may be two independent bluetooth modules, or may be two bluetooth modules integrated together.

S108, after receiving the connection information, the SystemUI of the large-screen device displays a setting interface, wherein the setting interface is used for prompting a user to set the using position of the earphone B.

In this application, the manner in which the user sets the use position of the earphone B may refer to the manner in which the user sets the use position of the earphone a, which is not described herein.

And S109, receiving the setting information of the earphone B by the SystemUI of the large-screen device, and sending the setting information of the earphone B to the AudioManager.

S110, the AudioManager of the large-screen device records setting information of the earphone B, wherein the setting information of the earphone B comprises the using position of the earphone B.

The content of steps S106 to S110 may refer to the descriptions of steps S101 to S105, except that the earphone is different, and the communication module that establishes connection with the earphone is not the same communication module.

As described above, the Bluetooth module is arranged on the earphone A, the Bluetooth module A and the Bluetooth module B are arranged on the large-screen device, the Bluetooth module on the earphone A is already in communication connection with the Bluetooth module A on the large-screen device, and the using position of the earphone A is left. Be provided with bluetooth module on the earphone B, bluetooth module on the earphone B can establish communication connection with bluetooth module B on the large-scale equipment, and earphone B's position of use can be set to the right side.

In practical application, after the large-screen device has established a communication connection with one of the headphones and the use position of the headphone for which the communication connection has been established is set, if the communication connection is established with the other headphone again, the use position of the other headphone may be set directly to the other side position.

For example, in the case where the large-screen device has established a communication connection with the headphone a and the use position of the headphone a is left, the large-screen device directly sets the use position of the headphone B to the right after establishing the communication connection with the headphone B and stores it.

Of course, in practical application, the communication modules respectively establishing communication connection with the two headphones may also be different, and as an example, the communication module establishing communication connection with the headphone a is a bluetooth module, and the communication module establishing communication connection with the headphone B is a Zigbee module. The specific type of the communication module for establishing the communication connection is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

After both headphones of both users establish a communication connection with the large-screen device and the usage location is set, the users can run and display two applications using the large-screen device.

In this embodiment of the present invention, when a user displays two applications through a large-screen device in a split-screen manner, if the large-screen device provides a function of setting a split-screen position of the application, when performing a split-screen operation, the application a that the user a located on the left side wants to use is set on the left side, and the application B that the user B located on the right side wants to use is set on the right side.

Of course, some large screen devices themselves provide some rules when splitting the screen, e.g., one application that opens first will be displayed on the left side and one that opens later will be displayed on the right side; if the positions of the two applications after the split screen are opposite to the positions of the two users, for example, the application on the left side after the split screen is the application that the user on the right side wants to use, and the application on the right side after the split screen is the application that the user on the left side wants to use, in this case, the positions of the application on the left side after the split screen and the application on the right side can be exchanged on the large screen device.

In practical applications, no matter what function the large screen device provides, it is necessary to display an application that the left user wants to view on the left side of the large screen device and display an application that the right user wants to view on the right side of the large screen device.

As one example of the split screen display of two applications, a user starts an application a installed in a large screen device by remote control operation; and then the user triggers the split screen display of the application A and the application B through remote control operation.

S111, responding to split screen operation of a user, and starting an application B by window management of large screen equipment;

s112, the window of the large-screen device manages the split-screen display of the started application A and the started application B, wherein the application A is displayed on the left side, and the application B is displayed on the right side.

Of course, since the use position of each earphone is set in advance, the user on the left side needs to wear the earphone whose use position is on the left side, and the user on the right side needs to wear the earphone whose use position is on the right side.

S113, audio A corresponding to the video A played by the application A in the large-screen equipment is sent to an AudioRouter of the large-screen equipment.

And S114, transmitting the audio B corresponding to the video B played by the application B in the large-screen equipment to the AudioRouter of the large-screen equipment.

It should be noted that the execution sequence of step S113 and step S114 is not necessarily after S112, after the application a is started, the audio of the application a may be sent to the AudioRouter, for example, after the user starts the application a by operating, even if the application a does not split a screen, the audio of the video screen a played by the application a may be sent to the AudioRouter; after the application B is started, the audio of the application B may also be sent to the AudioRouter, for example, after step S111, the audio of the application B may be sent to the AudioRouter.

S115, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device acquires setting information of the earphone A and the earphone B from the AudioManager.

S116, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device acquires the position information of two applications of the split screen from window management.

In practical application, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device may start to acquire the setting information of the earphone and the position information of the split screen after receiving the audio information sent by any application. Of course, in the case of no split screen, the position information of the split screen may be null. In the case of split screen, the split screen position information includes: the left side is application A and the right side is application B.

As another example, the window management module may also actively report the location information of the split screen to the AudioRouter after executing step S112.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the trigger conditions of step S115 and step S116 and the execution sequence.

S117, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device determines that the audio A is sent to the earphone A and the audio B is sent to the earphone B based on the acquired setting information of the earphone and the split-screen position information.

Of course, the priority of the playing mode of the audio corresponding to the played video can be preset in the large-screen device.

For example, in the case where the earphone is not connected and the large-screen device runs and displays an application, playing is performed through a speaker carried on the large-screen device;

Playing through the connected earphone under the condition that the earphone is connected, and the large-screen device runs and displays an application;

playing through the two connected earphones under the condition that the two earphones are connected and the large-screen device runs and displays an application;

under the condition that two earphones are connected, and the large-screen device runs and displays two applications, audio of the application corresponding to the preset use position is played through the two connected earphones respectively.

Of course, in practical application, other playing modes may be used, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

And S118, the AudioRouter of the large-screen equipment sends the audio A to the communication module A.

The setting information of the headset a further includes information of the communication module a connected to the headset a, so when determining that the audio a is sent to the headset a, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device can determine to send the audio a to the communication module a connected to the headset a.

And S119, the communication module A sends the audio A to the connected earphone A.

And S120, the AudioRouter of the large-screen equipment sends the audio B to the communication module B.

The setting information of the headset B further includes information of the communication module B connected to the headset B, so when determining that the audio B is sent to the headset B, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device can determine to send the audio B to the communication module B connected to the headset B.

S121, the communication module B sends the audio B to the connected headset B.

It should be noted that the execution sequence of S118 and S120 is also indiscriminate, and S113, S114, S118, S119, S120, and S121 are continuously performed during the process of viewing the video a and the video B by two users.

Through the above procedure, the application scenario shown in fig. 3 can be implemented, where the earphone a worn by the user a on the left side receives the audio a of the left application a on the large-screen device, and the earphone B worn by the user B on the right side receives the audio B of the right application B on the large-screen device.

In the above embodiment, from the perspective of the user, one earphone is connected first, and the use positions of the connected earphones are set; connecting an earphone, and setting the using position of the connected earphone; finally, the scenes of the two applications are displayed on the large screen device in a split screen mode as an example.

In practical applications, the following operation sequence is also possible from the user's perspective: firstly, split-screen displaying two applications on large-screen equipment; connecting an earphone, and setting the using position of the connected earphone; finally, another earphone is connected, and the using position of the connected earphone is set.

Or firstly connecting an earphone and setting the using position of the connected earphone; then, two applications are displayed on the large screen device in a split screen mode; finally, another earphone is connected, and the using position of the other earphone is set.

In practical application, when two users use the large-screen device at the same time, in order to avoid confusion caused by hearing the audio of the video watched by the other party when the audio is played through the loudspeaker of the large-screen device, the users are usually required to wear the earphone, and the using position of the earphone is set; when a user uses the large screen device, the user does not need to use the earphone, and even if the user uses the earphone, the user position of the earphone does not need to be set.

In view of this, the embodiment of the present application further provides an embodiment, when the earphone is connected to the large-screen device, if two applications are displayed on the large-screen device in a split screen manner, the use position of the earphone may be set; if two applications are not displayed on the large-screen device in a split mode, the using position of the earphone can be not set any more; if the earphone and the large-screen device are connected, the large-screen device is triggered to split the screen to display two applications due to the operation of a user, and in this case, the large-screen device pops up the setting interface again to set the using position of the earphone. In other words, in the case where two conditions (that is, that the large-screen device is connected to the earphone and that the large-screen device displays two applications on a split screen) are satisfied, the large-screen device pops up the setting interface again to prompt the user to set the use position of the earphone.

It should be noted that, the specific setting of the large-screen device is not limited, and the setting interface can be popped up after the connection of the earphone is detected, so as to set the using position of the earphone; the setting interface can be popped up again under the condition that the earphone is connected and two applications are displayed on the large-screen device in a split screen mode, so that the using position of the connected earphone can be set.

As another embodiment of the present application, taking the application scenario shown in fig. 3 as an example, in a case where the position of the application that the user wants to see and the seat position of the user coincide, the following situations may exist:

(1) The two users wear the headphones inversely, for example, user a wears user B's headphones B, user B wears user a's headphones a, user a on the left listens to audio for the right application, and user B on the right listens to audio for the left application. In this case, the two users can exchange headphones, or the positions of use of the two headphones can be exchanged on a large screen device.

(2) Two users set the headphones in reverse at the beginning, for example, due to a setting error, user a sets the use position of headphone a to the right, user B sets the use position of headphone B to the left, user a located on the left listens to audio applied to the right, and user B located on the right listens to audio applied to the left. In this case, the use positions of the two headphones can also be exchanged on the large-screen device.

In view of this, the embodiments of the present application also provide a method of exchanging the usage locations of two headphones on a large screen device. The timing diagram described with reference to fig. 9 may be specifically referred to, and this timing diagram may solve the problem in the application scenario shown in fig. 4.

The steps preceding step S201 in the timing chart shown in fig. 9 and the application scenario shown in fig. 4 can be understood as follows:

before the user adjusts the use positions of the two earphones, the AudioManager of the large-screen device records setting information of the earphone A: the use position is right, is connected with the communication module A, and is also recorded with the setting information of the earphone B: the use position is left, and the communication module B is connected. The user A sits on the left side, views the video A played by the application A displayed on the left side of the large-screen device, and the user B sits on the right side, views the video B played by the application B displayed on the right side of the large-screen device. The earphone A worn by the user A plays the audio B of the video B, and the earphone B worn by the user B plays the audio A of the video A.

Under the scene, the user triggers the large-screen equipment to display the earphone exchange button through operation, and of course, in practical application, when the large-screen equipment is split-screen to display two applications, the large-screen equipment can always display the earphone exchange button, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the application.

S201, responding to exchange operation of a user, and sending an earphone exchange instruction to an AudioManager of the large-screen device by a System UI of the large-screen device. The earphone exchange instruction is used for indicating the AudioManager of the large-screen device to exchange the using position of the earphone.

The user's exchanging operation may select the earphone exchanging button for the user through the remote control and determine the exchanging operation.

S202, the AudioManager of the large-screen device receives the earphone exchange instruction, and updates the using position of the earphone A to the left side.

And S203, the AudioManager of the large-screen device receives the exchange instruction and updates the using position of the earphone B to the right.

S204, after updating the using position of the earphone, the AudioManager of the large-screen device can send updated setting information of the earphone to the AudioRouter of the large-screen device so as to prompt the AudioManager to re-determine the output path of the audio.

S205, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device determines that the audio A is sent to the earphone A and the audio B is sent to the earphone B based on the acquired setting information of the earphone and the split-screen position information.

S206, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device sends the audio A to the communication module A.

S207, the communication module a transmits the audio a to the connected headset a.

And S208, the AudioRouter of the large-screen equipment sends the audio B to the communication module B.

And S209, the communication module B sends the audio B to the connected earphone B.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, details that are not described in detail may refer to details in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, and are not described herein.

As another embodiment, taking the application scenario shown in fig. 5 as an example, in the case where the position of the application that the user wants to see and the seat position of the user coincide, there may be the following cases:

the two users exchange seats in the watching process, however, the two users still want to watch the videos watched before exchanging the seats, for example, the application scene shown in fig. 5 is based on the application scene shown in fig. 3, the user a and the user B exchange seats, the user a wears the earphone a to sit on the right side, the watching is the video played by the application on the left side of the large screen device, and the listening is the sound corresponding to the video played by the application on the left side; the user B sits on the left side wearing the earphone B, views the video played by the application on the right side of the large-screen device, and listens to the sound corresponding to the video played by the application on the right side. In this case, it is necessary to exchange not only the left and right positions of two applications of the split screen display on the large screen device but also the use positions of two headphones.

In view of this, the embodiments of the present application also provide a method of exchanging the locations of two applications displayed on a large screen device and exchanging the locations of use of two headphones. The timing diagram described with reference to fig. 10 may be specifically referred to, and this timing diagram may solve the problem in the application scenario shown in fig. 5.

The steps preceding step S301 in the timing chart shown in fig. 10 and the application scenario shown in fig. 5 can be understood as follows:

before the user exchanges the display positions of the two applications and adjusts the use positions of the two headphones, the AudioManager of the large-screen device records the setting information of the headphones a: the use position is left, the communication module A is connected, and setting information of the earphone B is recorded: the use position is right, and the communication module B is connected. The user A sits on the right side, views the video A played by the application A displayed on the left side of the large-screen device, and the earphone A worn by the user A plays the audio A of the video played by the left-side application A; user B sits on the left and views video B played by application B displayed on the right side of the large screen device. The earphone B worn by the user B plays audio B which is video B of the right application B.

Under the scene, the user triggers the large-screen equipment to display the split-screen application exchange button through operation, and of course, in practical application, when the large-screen equipment displays two applications in a split-screen mode, the large-screen equipment can always display the split-screen application exchange button, and the embodiment of the application is not limited in this way.

S301, responding to exchange operation of a user, and sending an application exchange instruction to window management of the large screen device by a System UI of the large screen device. The application exchange instruction is used for indicating window management of the large screen device to exchange display positions of two applications.

The user's exchange operation may select an application exchange button for the user through a remote control and determine the operation of the exchange.

S302, window management of the large-screen device receives an application exchange instruction, and exchanges display positions of an application A and an application B displayed on a split screen on the large-screen device, wherein the right left side of the application A is changed into right side display, and the application B is changed from right side into left side display.

And S303, after the window management of the large-screen device exchanges the display positions of the applications, the updated position information of the applications can be sent to the AudioRouter of the large-screen device so as to prompt the AudioManager to redetermine the output paths of the audios.

After step S303, since only the positions of the two applications displayed by the large screen device are exchanged, the positions of the two headphones are not exchanged, and the video played by the application that the two users want to see is on the same side of their seats, however, the audio heard is the audio of the video played by the application on the other side.

For example, the two applications are still playing video, the audio of the video played by the two applications is still transmitted to the AudioRouter, and after the positions of the application a and the application B are exchanged, the positions of the two applications acquired by the AudioRouter are the latest: application a on the right and application B on the left, the position of use of the headset remains the position between uses: to the left of earphone a and to the right of earphone B, audioRouter determines that audio B of application B on the left is to be sent to earphone a on the left (actual position is on the right) of the use position, and audio a of application a on the right is to be sent to earphone B on the right (actual position is on the left) of the use position. Reference may be made in particular to the application scenario shown in fig. 6. Therefore, it is also necessary to continue the steps subsequent to the subsequent step S304.

The user triggers the large-screen device to display the earphone exchange button through operation, and of course, in practical application, when the large-screen device split-screen displays two applications, the exchange button can be always displayed on the large-screen device, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the application.

The earphone exchange instruction is used for indicating the AudioManager of the large-screen device to exchange the using position of the earphone.

S305, the AudioManager of the large-screen device receives the earphone exchange instruction and updates the using position of the earphone A to the right.

S306, the AudioManager of the large-screen device receives the exchange instruction, and updates the using position of the earphone B to the left side.

S307, after updating the use position of the earphone, the AudioManager of the large-screen device may send the updated setting information of the earphone to the AudioRouter of the large-screen device, so as to prompt the AudioManager to redetermine the output path of the audio.

S308, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device determines that the audio A is sent to the earphone A and the audio B is sent to the earphone B based on the acquired setting information of the earphone and the split-screen position information.

S309, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device sends the audio A to the communication module A.

In the above embodiment, the user triggers the large-screen device to exchange the use positions of the two headphones through operation (using a remote controller or gestures, etc.), and in practical application, the large-screen device can also realize automatic detection and automatic exchange of the use positions of the two headphones.

As an example, the large screen device performs Angle of Arrival (AOA) measurement on the headphones a and B through the set bluetooth module, resulting in actual positions (e.g., left or right) of the headphones a and B. After the actual positions of the two headphones are obtained, the actual positions of the two headphones will be stored as a usage position record. After determining the use positions of the two headphones, the procedure of transmitting the audio of the two applications to the corresponding headphones provided in any of the above embodiments can be referred to.

For a clearer understanding of this embodiment, reference may be made to the timing diagram shown in fig. 11. In the timing chart shown in fig. 11, the application a and the application B have been split-screen displayed on the large-screen device, and the application a is located on the left side, the application B is located on the right side, the user a wears the earphone a to sit on the left side, and the user B wears the earphone B to sit on the right side. At this time, the headphones a and B have not yet set the use positions.

S501, the large-screen device establishes communication connection with the earphone A through the Bluetooth module A.

S502, the large screen device receives a signal 1 (recorded as a first signal) transmitted by a Bluetooth module on the earphone A through the Bluetooth module A and the Bluetooth module B to obtain a received signal 1A and a received signal 1B.

It should be noted that, although the signal transmitted by the bluetooth module on the headset a is the signal 1, the signals received by the two bluetooth modules on the large screen device may be different, in order to be distinguished, the signal 1 received by the bluetooth module a is denoted as the received signal 1A (denoted as the first received signal), and the signal 2 received by the bluetooth module B is denoted as the received signal 1B (denoted as the second received signal).

S503, the large screen device determines the actual position of the headphone a based on the difference between the received signal 1A and the received signal 1B.

Referring to fig. 12, the actual position of the headset a may be determined by using the time delay between the received signal 1A and the received signal 1B and the propagation speed, and in combination with the distribution of the communication module a and the communication module B, the actual position is not a specific position coordinate of the headset a, and may be an arrival angle of the headset a with respect to a coordinate system established by the communication module a and the communication module B. The angle of arrival may determine whether to the left or right.

As another example, the received signal 1A and the received signal 1B may be subjected to the reinforcement method, and then the arrival angle may be determined according to the signal strengths in different directions.

Of course, the manner of measuring the AOA angle shown in fig. 12 is only one example, and in practical application, a manner of determining the actual positions of the two headphones may be implemented by any large-screen device and a communication module on the two headphones, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

S504, the large-screen device establishes communication connection with the earphone B through the Bluetooth module B.

S505, the large screen device receives the signal 2 (marked as a second signal) transmitted by the Bluetooth module on the earphone B through the Bluetooth module A and the Bluetooth module B, and obtains a received signal 2A (marked as a third received signal) and a received signal 2B (marked as a fourth received signal).

S506, the large screen device determines the actual position of the headphone B based on the difference between the received signal 2A and the received signal 2B.

The process of determining the actual position of the earphone B may refer to the description of determining the actual position of the earphone a, which is not described herein.

S507, the Bluetooth module of the large-screen device sends setting information of the earphone A and the earphone B to the large-screen device AudioManager. In practical application, after receiving the received signal 1A and the received signal 1B, the bluetooth module of the large-screen device may also send the received signal 1A and the received signal 1B to other modules, calculate the actual position of the headset a by using the other modules, and send the calculated actual position to the AudioManager by using the other modules for recording and storing.

Of course, in practical application, the bluetooth module of the large-screen device may also send the received signal 1A and the received signal 1B to the AudioManager, calculate the actual position of the headset a through the AudioManager, and record and store the actual position.

Similarly, after the bluetooth module of the large-screen device receives the received signal 2A and the received signal 2B, the bluetooth module may also be processed in the above manner, which is not limited to a specific implementation manner in the embodiment of the present application.

And S508, the AudioManager of the large-screen device sends the setting information of the earphone A and the earphone B to the AudioRouter of the large-screen device.

As described above, in the case that the setting information of the earphone that may be set in the AudioManager is modified or added, the embodiment of the present application actively sends the latest usage location of the earphone to the AudioRouter, or the AudioRouter may obtain the usage location of the earphone from the AudioManager under certain triggering conditions. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.

S509, the AudioRouter of the large-screen device determines that the audio A is sent to the earphone A and the audio B is sent to the earphone B based on the setting information of the earphone and the position information of the split screen.

S511, the communication module A of the large screen device sends the audio A to the connected earphone A.

And S512, the AudioRouter of the large-screen equipment sends the audio B to the communication module B.

And S513, the communication module B of the large-screen device sends the audio B to the connected earphone B.

The automatic detection of the actual position of the earphone can be realized in the manner shown in fig. 11, and the use position of the earphone is automatically set according to the actual position of the earphone.

Of course, in practical application, the user may change the position of the seat by himself when watching, so the large screen device can periodically and automatically detect the actual positions of the two earphones, update the use positions of the two earphones and further change the audio received by the two earphones under the condition that the actual positions (left and right) of the two earphones are changed, and naturally, the use positions of the two earphones are not updated under the condition that the actual positions of the two earphones are not changed, and the audio received by the two earphones is not changed under the condition that the display position of the application on the large screen device is not changed.

The change in the actual position of the two headphones does not indicate a change in the angle of arrival of the two headphones, but rather a change in the relative position between the two headphones.

As an example, the actual position of the earphone a is on the left side, the actual position of the earphone B is on the right side, and after a certain period of time, the actual position of the earphone a is on the right side, and the temporal position of the earphone B is also on the right side, however, the earphone a is on the left side with respect to the earphone B, and the earphone B is on the right side with respect to the earphone a, in which case the use position of the earphone a is still on the left side, and the use position of the earphone B is still on the right side.

Of course, in practical application, the actual positions of the earphone a and the earphone B may be strictly performed instead of the relative positions between the two earphones.

For example, the actual position of the earphone a is on the left side, the actual position of the earphone B is on the right side, and after a certain period of time, the actual position of the earphone a is on the right side, and the temporal position of the earphone B is also on the right side, although the earphone a is on the left side with respect to the earphone B, the earphone B is on the right side with respect to the earphone a, in which case the use position of the earphone a is updated to the right side, and the use position of the earphone B is still on the right side. Both headphones receive audio corresponding to video of the application displayed on the right side of the large screen device.
