Embodiments of the present application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all embodiments of the present application. As one of ordinary skill in the art can know, with the development of technology and the appearance of new scenes, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

As described in the background art, if the bluetooth headset has a service conflict, the bluetooth headset can only be used as an audio output device of one audio service, but the audio service of another electronic device is put aside, so that the audio service sent by the other electronic device cannot be completed in time. If the audio service sent by other electronic devices is important, the Bluetooth headset cannot complete the important audio service in time, so that the user experience is poor.

In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an audio service processing method, including: the electronic device 1 and the electronic device 2 both establish a wireless communication channel with the bluetooth headset. If the electronic device 1 is processing the audio service 1 by using the bluetooth headset, after the electronic device 2 detects the audio service 2 again, it is first determined whether the service priority of the audio service 2 is greater than or equal to the service priority of the audio service 1. If the electronic device 2 determines that the service priority of the audio service 2 is greater than or equal to the service priority of the audio service 1, the bluetooth headset is requested to suspend processing the audio service 1, and the bluetooth headset is used to process the audio service 2. Then, the bluetooth headset pauses processing audio service 1 and processes audio service 2.

In the embodiment of the application, different audio services can correspond to different priorities, the audio service with higher priority is usually an important and key audio service, and the audio service with higher priority can be preferentially processed by the Bluetooth headset. By way of example, the audio services may include a plurality of types, for example, the audio services may include a call service, a multimedia service, a notification prompt service, and the like. The call service may include playing the voice data of the opposite terminal for the user in the scenes of a phone call (including a phone call in and a phone call out), a video call, an audio call, a voice message, a game or a voice assistant, or collecting the voice data of the user and sending to the opposite terminal, playing an incoming call bell, etc. Multimedia services may include playing music, video, sound recordings, background music for games, text-to-speech sounds, etc. The notification alert service may include play a short message alert tone, push notification alert tone, alarm bell, system sound (e.g., sound when volume is adjusted, shutter sound when shooting, etc.). The priority of the notification prompt service, the multimedia service and the call service are sequentially increased. In other embodiments, the audio service may include more types, and is not particularly limited herein. The priority of the audio service may be preset, or may be set actively by the user, which is not limited herein. For example, the service priority of the call service is greater than the service priority of the multimedia service, which is greater than the service priority of the notification prompt service.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can control the Bluetooth headset to process important audio services according to the preset service priority, and user experience is improved.

In the embodiment of the present application, the method of the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the example that the electronic device 1 (i.e. the first electronic device) is the mobile phone 200, the electronic device 2 (i.e. the second electronic device) is the tablet pc 300, and the bluetooth headset is the bluetooth headset 100. Wherein audio service 1 is a first audio service and audio service 2 is a second audio service.

For example, fig. 2 illustrates an application scenario diagram of an audio service processing method according to some embodiments of the present application. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of an application scenario of an audio service processing method according to some embodiments of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, the application scenario includes a mobile phone 200, a tablet pc 300, a user, and a bluetooth headset 100 worn by the user. The mobile phone 200 and the tablet 300 both establish a wireless communication channel with the bluetooth headset 100. Wherein the handset 200 processes the audio service 1 using the bluetooth headset 100, for example, plays music using the bluetooth headset 100. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 3, the tablet 300 may detect the music service 2, for example, the tablet 300 may need to play music using the bluetooth headset 100. At this time, the service priority of the audio service 2 may be greater than or equal to the service priority of the audio service 1. For example, in the case where the audio service 2 is play music and the audio service 1 is play music, the service priority of the audio service 2 is equal to the service priority of the audio service 1. The embodiment of the present application will be described hereinafter with reference to the priority of each audio service, which is not described here again.

In the case where the tablet 300 determines that the service priority of the audio service 2 is greater than or equal to the service priority of the audio service 1, the tablet 300 may request the bluetooth headset 100 to suspend processing the audio service 1 (e.g., playing music of the mobile phone 200) and process the audio service 2 (e.g., playing music of the tablet 300) using the bluetooth headset 100. At this time, the audio service 1 of the cellular phone 200 is preempted by the audio service 2 of the tablet 300. The mobile phone 200 and the tablet 300 may respectively establish a wireless communication channel with the bluetooth headset 100 through an entity connection, where the entity connection may include an asynchronous link (ACL) connection in the wireless connection.

As another example, fig. 4 shows an application scenario diagram of an audio service processing method according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the application scenario includes a mobile phone 200, a tablet 300, a user, and a bluetooth headset 100 worn by the user. As shown in fig. 2, the mobile phone 200 processes the audio service 1 using the bluetooth headset 100, for example, plays music using the bluetooth headset 100. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 4, the tablet 300 may detect the music service 2, for example, the tablet 300 may receive an incoming call, which requires to answer the phone using the bluetooth headset 100. At this time, the service priority of the audio service 2 may be greater than or equal to the service priority of the audio service 1. For example, in the case where the audio service 2 is to answer an incoming call and the audio service 1 is to play music, the service priority of the audio service 2 is higher than that of the audio service 1.

In the case where the tablet 300 determines that the service priority of the audio service 2 is greater than or equal to the service priority of the audio service 1, the tablet 300 may request the bluetooth headset 100 to suspend processing the audio service 1 (e.g., playing music of the mobile phone 200), and process the audio service 2 using the bluetooth headset 100 (e.g., answering an incoming call of the tablet 300). At this time, the audio service 1 of the cellular phone 200 is preempted by the audio service 2 of the tablet 300.

Thus, the tablet pc 300 can control the bluetooth headset to process important audio services according to the preset service priority, thereby improving user experience.

Although the service priority of the audio service is considered in the scheme, the user experience is improved. However, if the bluetooth headset collides with the service, the bluetooth headset only processes one audio service with higher service priority, and suspends processing other audio services with lower service priority, and the other audio services with lower service priority are put on hold and not processed, which also affects the user experience.

In order to solve the technical problem, in the audio service processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device 2 requests the bluetooth headset to suspend processing the audio service 1 and processes the audio service 2 by using the bluetooth headset, the method further includes: the electronic device 1 processes the audio service 1 using its own audio components. Therefore, when the Bluetooth headset is connected with a plurality of electronic devices and a plurality of audio services are sent to the Bluetooth headset, the plurality of audio services can be distributed to corresponding audio playing devices, so that the problem of selecting a proper audio playing device under the concurrence of the plurality of audio services is solved, and the user experience is improved.

For example, for the application scenario in fig. 4, the tablet 300 requests the bluetooth headset 100 to pause playing music of the mobile phone 200, the bluetooth headset 100 is used to play a call of the tablet 300, the bluetooth headset 100 pauses playing music of the mobile phone 200, and after playing the call of the tablet 300, the mobile phone 200 plays music by using its own speaker, plug-in earphone, receiver, or the like.

In some embodiments, after detecting audio service 2, tablet 300 requests bluetooth headset 100 to suspend processing audio service 1 and process audio service 2 using bluetooth headset 100. The method specifically comprises the following implementation scheme: fig. 5 is a schematic view of an application scenario of an audio service processing method according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the tablet 300 detects the audio service 2, for example, the tablet 300 may receive an incoming call, which requires to answer the phone using the bluetooth headset 100; or tablet 300 may need to play music using bluetooth headset 100. The tablet pc 300 transmits a service suspension instruction to the mobile phone 200 through the bluetooth headset 100. The handset 200 may receive the service suspension instruction. After the mobile phone 200 receives the service suspension instruction, the sending of the audio data of the audio service 1 to the bluetooth headset 100, such as playing the audio data corresponding to the music of the mobile phone 200, may be stopped. Also, the tablet 300 may transmit audio data of the audio service 2 to the bluetooth headset 100. The bluetooth headset 100 receives audio data of the audio service 2, and processes the audio service 2, such as playing music of the tablet 300 using the bluetooth headset 100.

In this embodiment, the tablet 300 may request the bluetooth headset 100 to suspend processing of the audio service 1 through the service suspension instruction, and process the audio service 2 using the bluetooth headset 100 to implement preemption of the audio service 1 by the audio service 2.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the bluetooth headset 100 may function as a relay of data or signaling (such as the service suspension instruction described above) between the tablet 300 and the mobile phone 200. The bluetooth headset 100 may transmit data or signaling received from the tablet pc 300 to the mobile phone 200, or may transmit data or signaling received from the mobile phone 200 to the tablet pc 300.

In other embodiments, after the bluetooth headset 100 receives the data or signaling from the tablet 300 or the mobile phone 200, some corresponding operations are performed in response to the data or signaling. For example, after receiving the service suspension instruction from the tablet pc 300, the bluetooth headset 100 may not only transmit the service suspension instruction to the mobile phone 200; processing of the audio service 1 of the handset 200 may also be stopped in response to the service suspension instruction.

In some embodiments, after the tablet 300 detects the audio service 2, the bluetooth headset 100 is requested to suspend processing the audio service 1, and the bluetooth headset 100 is used to process the audio service 2, which includes the following specific implementation schemes: the mobile phone 200 indicates the service priority of the audio service 1 to the tablet pc 300 through the bluetooth headset 100; after detecting the audio service 2, the tablet 300 compares the service priorities of the audio service 2 and the audio service 1; if the service priority of the audio service 2 is greater than the service priority of the audio service 1, the tablet 300 requests the bluetooth headset 100 to suspend processing the audio service 1, and processes the audio service 2 by using the bluetooth headset 100.

In some embodiments, the service suspension instruction is used to indicate a service priority of the audio service 2; the mobile phone 200 receives the service suspension instruction and stops sending the audio data of the audio service 1 to the bluetooth headset 100, which comprises the following specific implementation schemes: the mobile phone 200 receives the service suspension instruction, and stops sending the audio data of the audio service 1 to the bluetooth headset 100 if the service priority of the audio service 2 indicated by the service suspension instruction is greater than the service priority of the audio service 1.

In this scheme, after receiving the service suspension instruction, the mobile phone 200 again confirms the service priority of the audio service 2 and the audio service 1, so as to further ensure the accuracy of executing the service suspension instruction by the mobile phone 200.

For example, the sensor 107 may be a distance sensor or a proximity light sensor that may be used to determine whether the Bluetooth headset 100 is being worn by a user. For example, the bluetooth headset 100 may detect whether there is an object near the bluetooth headset 100 using a distance sensor, thereby determining whether the bluetooth headset 100 is worn by the user. Upon determining that the bluetooth headset 100 is worn, the bluetooth headset 100 may turn on the speaker.

For another example, the sensor 107 may also include an osteoinductive sensor, in combination with an osteoinductive headset. With the bone conduction sensor, the bluetooth headset 100 can acquire the vibration signal of the human body vocal part vibration bone block, analyze the voice signal, and realize the voice function, thereby receiving the voice instruction of the user. The bluetooth headset 100 may further perform voice authentication according to the user voice signal obtained by the bone conduction headset, so as to authenticate the user identity in the service scenario such as payment transaction.

For another example, the sensor 107 may further include: a touch sensor for detecting a touch operation of a user; the fingerprint sensor is used for detecting the fingerprint of the user, identifying the identity of the user and the like; an ambient light sensor, which can adaptively adjust some parameters (such as volume) according to the brightness of the perceived ambient light; and possibly other sensors.

In some embodiments, the touch sensor may detect a touch operation such as a single click, a double click, a multiple click, a long press, a heavy press, etc. of the user, and may also perform fingerprint identification of the user to authenticate the user identity in a business scenario such as a payment transaction.

It should be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the bluetooth headset 100. It may have more or fewer components than shown in fig. 10, may combine two or more components, or may have a different configuration of components. For example, the external surface of the bluetooth headset 100 may further include a key 108, an indicator (which may indicate a state of power, incoming/outgoing call, pairing mode, etc.), a display (which may prompt a user about information), a dust screen (which may be used with an earpiece), etc. The key 108 may be a physical key or a touch key (used with a touch sensor) for triggering operations such as power on, power off, pause, play, record, start pairing, reset, etc.

The various components shown in fig. 10 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software, including one or more signal processing or application specific integrated circuits. For example, when the bluetooth headset is a TWS headset, the bluetooth headset 100 may include a headset body (also referred to as a left earpiece, or first portion) worn by the left ear and a headset body (also referred to as a right earpiece, or second portion) worn by the right ear, respectively.
