Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of generating an alert tone in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; the method for generating the prompt tone can be applied to terminal equipment (such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a bracelet, an electronic calendar and the like) with the function of generating the prompt tone.

The terminal equipment can access the router through the wireless local area network and access the server on the public network through the router. As shown in fig. 1, the method of generating the alert tone includes the following steps S101 to S103:

in step S101: in response to detecting the request information for generating the alert tone, the type of audio material is determined based on the current work and rest status of the user.

In an embodiment, the terminal device may determine the type of the audio material based on a current work and rest state of the user when detecting the request information for generating the alert tone. The user may be a listener of a subsequently generated alert tone, for example, an owner of the terminal device, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

For example, when receiving information such as a short message, an instant messaging message, or a mail, the terminal device may detect a request message for generating a warning tone, where the warning tone may be used to remind a user to view the information.

In an embodiment, the type of the audio material may be set by a developer, for example, the audio material may be set to a bird song by azalea, a bird song by yellowbird, a bird song, or the like, or may also be set to a river song, a brook song, a water droplet song, a bubble song, or the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In an embodiment, the current work and rest status of the user may include: an awake state, a sleep state, and the like, but this embodiment does not limit this.

For example, when the request information for generating the alert tone is detected, the current resting state of the user, such as the awake state, may be determined, and the audio material type corresponding to the current resting state of the user, such as the bird song, may be determined based on the pre-constructed correspondence between the resting state of the user and the audio material type.

In an embodiment, the determination manner of the work and rest status may refer to the following embodiment shown in fig. 5, and the determination manner of the audio material type may also refer to the following embodiment shown in fig. 2, which will not be described in detail herein.

In step S102: determining an audio playback mode based on the current action state of the user.

In one embodiment, after determining the type of audio material based on the current action state of the user in response to detecting the request information for generating the alert tone, the audio playback mode may be determined based on the current action state of the user.

In an embodiment, the current action state of the user may include an outdoor exercise state, a work state, a leisure state (e.g., a state of playing a mobile phone game), and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In an embodiment, the determination manner of the action state may refer to the following embodiment shown in fig. 6, and will not be described in detail herein.

In an embodiment, each audio playing mode may be used to specify the volume, the pressure on the human ear, the distance of the sound, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

For example, when the current action state of the user is determined to be the working state, an audio playing mode with low volume, less stress on human ears and longer sound distance can be determined.

In step S103: and playing the audio material of the audio material type based on the audio playing mode as the prompt tone.

In one embodiment, after determining an audio play mode based on the current action state of the user, the audio material of the audio material type may be played as the alert sound based on the audio play mode. For example, the audio playing mode with low volume, less pressure on human ears and longer sound distance can be adopted to play the audio material of the audio material type as the prompt sound.

In an embodiment, each audio material type may include a plurality of audio materials, and on this basis, the plurality of audio materials may be played based on the audio playing mode and a random sequence to generate different alert tones, so as to enrich the types of the alert tones and avoid the hearing fatigue of the user.

As apparent from the above description, the present embodiment provides a method for generating an alert tone by determining an audio material type based on a current action state of a user in response to detection of request information for generating an alert tone, and determining an audio play mode based on a current action state of the user, it is furthermore possible to realize that audio material of the audio material type is played as the alert tone on the basis of the audio playback mode, since the type of the audio material as the alert tone is determined based on the current action state of the user, and the audio play mode of the alert tone is determined based on the current action state of the user, therefore, different forms of prompt tones can be generated based on different work and rest states and different action states of the user, the user can be prevented from being disturbed when having a rest, important information can be prevented from being missed by the user, the forms of the prompt tones can be enriched, and auditory fatigue of the user can be avoided.

FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating how the type of audio material is determined based on the current work and rest status of a user in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; the present embodiment exemplifies how to determine the type of audio material based on the current work and rest state of the user on the basis of the above-described embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the determining the audio material type based on the current work and rest status of the user in the step S101 may include the following steps S201 to S202:

in step S201, the main type of audio material corresponding to the current time period is determined.

In an embodiment, when the terminal device detects the request information for generating the alert tone, the main type of the audio material corresponding to the current time period may be determined.

In an embodiment, the current time period may include a time period obtained by dividing each time of day by a developer or a user based on respective needs, for example, day or night, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the main types of audio material may include main audio types divided by developers based on business needs, such as live-type birds, bugs, or non-live-type water sounds, wind sounds, and the like.

For example, if the current time period is daytime, it may be determined that the main type of the audio material corresponding to the current time period is bird calls; and if the current time period is at night, the main type of the audio material corresponding to the current time period can be determined to be the bug sound.

It is worth mentioning that the different audio material main types corresponding to the different time periods may be set by the developer and the user as needed, that is, the audio material main type corresponding to the night is set as the bird call, and the audio material main type corresponding to the day is set as the bug sound, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In an embodiment, the determination manner of the current time period may be referred to the following embodiment shown in fig. 3, and will not be described in detail here.

In step S202, an audio material type corresponding to the current work and rest state of the user is screened from the audio material main types.

In an embodiment, after determining the main audio material types corresponding to the current time period, the audio material types corresponding to the current work and rest state of the user may be screened from the main audio material types.

For example, if the current time period is daytime and it is determined that the main type of the audio material corresponding to the current time period is a bird call, the audio material type corresponding to the current work and rest state of the user, such as a cuckoo call, a yellowbird call, or a sparrow call, may be further screened from the bird call main type.

As can be seen from the above description, in this embodiment, by determining the audio material main type corresponding to the current time period and screening the audio material type corresponding to the current work and rest state of the user from the audio material main types, it is possible to determine the audio material main type based on the current time period, and further determine the corresponding audio material type based on the current work and rest state of the user, and it is possible to ensure the richness of the determined audio material types.

FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating how the type of audio material is determined based on the current work and rest status of a user in accordance with yet another exemplary embodiment; the present embodiment exemplifies how to determine the type of audio material based on the current work and rest state of the user on the basis of the above-described embodiment. As shown in fig. 3, the determining the audio material type based on the current work and rest status of the user in step S101 may include the following steps S301 to S304:

in step S301, first usage data of the terminal device associated with the user is acquired.

In an embodiment, when the terminal device detects the request information for generating the alert tone, the first usage data of the terminal device associated with the user may be acquired.

It should be noted that, the terminal device that detects the request information for generating the alert tone (e.g., the device that needs to generate the alert tone currently) and the terminal device associated with the user may be the same device or different devices, which is not limited in this embodiment.

For example, if the terminal device that detects the request information for generating the alert tone and the terminal device associated with the user are the same device, such as a smart phone of the user, the smart phone may obtain the first usage data of the terminal device itself after detecting the request information for generating the alert tone.

In another embodiment, if the terminal device that detects the request information for generating the alert tone and the terminal device associated with the user are different devices, such as a smart band and a smart phone, respectively, the first usage data of the smart phone may be obtained after the smart band detects the request information for generating the alert tone.

The first usage data includes at least one of morning alarm setting data and Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of a current position.

In step S302, a current time period is determined based on the first usage data.

In an embodiment, after the terminal device obtains the first usage data of the terminal device associated with the user, the current time period may be determined based on the first usage data.

In one embodiment, the terminal device may determine the time zone of the current location based on GPS coordinates (e.g., longitude information) of the terminal device associated with the user, which in turn may determine whether the current time period is day or night in conjunction with the current time.

In another embodiment, the terminal device may further compare morning alarm setting data (e.g., a set time of a morning alarm) of the terminal device associated with the user with the current time: if the current time is after the set time of the alarm clock in the morning, the current time period can be determined to be the day; in contrast, if the current time is before the set time of the alarm clock in the morning, it may be determined that the current time period is in the dark.

It should be noted that, in addition to separately determining the current time period by using the morning alarm setting data and the GPS coordinates of the current location, the two data may be combined to determine the current time period, for example, results corresponding to the two data may be respectively obtained, and the two results may be weighted and calculated to obtain a final result, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the accuracy and the rationality of determining the current time period.

In step S303, the main type of audio material corresponding to the current time period is determined.

In step S304, an audio material type corresponding to the current work and rest status of the user is screened from the main audio material types

For the explanation and explanation of steps S303 to S304, reference may be made to the above embodiments, which are not described herein again.

As can be seen from the above description, in this embodiment, by obtaining the first usage data of the terminal device associated with the user and determining the current time period based on the first usage data, the current time period can be accurately determined, and thus, an accurate basis can be provided for subsequently determining the main type of the audio material corresponding to the current time period and screening the audio material type corresponding to the current work and rest state of the user from the main types of the audio material.

In an embodiment, the weather information may include a name of a weather condition, such as a sunny day, a thunderstorm day, a snow day, or a cloudy day, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In an embodiment, the preset time period may be freely set by a developer or a user according to actual needs, for example, set to be 1 day, a week, or a month, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment. For example, if the preset time period is set to "one week", records of audio or video played in the terminal device of the user or other devices associated with the terminal device in the last week, such as the name of a song or a movie that has been played, may be acquired; or, information retrieved by the terminal device of the user or other devices associated with the terminal device, read articles or social platform information, and the like may also be acquired; alternatively, a record of the order information sent by the terminal device of the user or other devices associated with the terminal device may also be obtained, for example, an order record of a movie ticket purchase or an order record of a concert or a concert ticket purchase.

In step S402, at least one main type of audio material associated with a keyword in the information related to the main type of audio material is acquired.

In an embodiment, after the information related to the main types of the audio materials is obtained, keywords may be screened from the information related to the main types of the audio materials, and then at least one main type of the audio materials associated with the screened keywords may be obtained.

In an embodiment, the category of the keyword may be set by a developer or a user according to actual needs, for example, at least one of a name set as a weather condition, an actor name, a musical composition name, a movie name, and a theme song name, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In step S403, an audio material major type corresponding to the current time period is determined from the at least one audio material major type.

In an embodiment, after obtaining at least one audio material main type associated with the keyword in the information related to the audio material main type, the audio material main type corresponding to the current time period may be determined from the at least one audio material main type.

In step S404, an audio material type corresponding to the current work and rest state of the user is screened from the audio material main types.

For the explanation and explanation of steps S403 and S404, reference may be made to the above embodiments, which are not described herein again.
