The method includes the steps that an environment image is obtained through a camera (such as a front camera or a rear camera) in the electronic device, if the electronic device does not move and the camera is not shielded, the environment video is recorded or the environment image is shot, if the environment video is recorded, each frame of image in the environment video can be determined to be the environment image, of course, the environment image can also be collected according to a second preset time interval, and the second preset time interval can be the same as or different from the first preset time interval. Then, at least one of the following: the environmental audio and the environmental image are determined as the environmental information.

It should be noted that, the steps of collecting the environmental audio by the audio device and acquiring the image information by the camera may be executed when the user authorizes the electronic device. In the embodiment of the application, in order to ensure the privacy of the user, the environment information may not be sent to the server, but only stored locally, and after the target audio output device is determined, the environment information may be deleted.

In addition, in another or various alternative embodiments, before the environment information is acquired, the running state of the application program in the electronic device may be acquired, for example, in a case that the running state of the music player application program is running and playing music (or controlling an audio output device connected to the electronic device to play music), the environment audio a of the electronic device may be acquired, the audio of the music in the environment audio a is filtered, the environment audio B is obtained, and the environment audio B is determined as the environment information in step 320, so that the accuracy of the environment information acquired by the electronic device may be ensured.

Next, the detailed description of determining the application scene information of the electronic device is performed through step 320 according to different environment information, such as the environment audio, the environment image, and the environment audio and the environment image.

In one or more alternative embodiments, when the environmental information includes environmental audio, step 320 may specifically include:

performing voice recognition on the environmental audio to obtain first result information;

determining application scene information of the electronic equipment as privacy application scene information under the condition that the first result information meets a first preset condition; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the first preset condition includes at least one of: the noise in the environmental audio is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, the environmental audio includes preset voice audio such as audio of a user holding the electronic device (or audio of a preset user stored in the electronic device), the environmental audio does not include first preset object such as audio of a user holding the electronic device, the number of sounding objects identified in the environmental audio is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold such as audio of a plurality of users, and the volume of the environmental audio is less than or equal to a third preset threshold.

In another or various alternative embodiments, when the environment information includes an environment image, step 320 may specifically include:

carrying out image recognition on the environment image to obtain second result information;

determining the application scene of the electronic equipment as privacy application scene information under the condition that the second result information meets a second preset condition; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the second preset condition includes at least one of: the environment image includes images of a plurality of users such as facial images of the plurality of users, the face image of a second preset object not included in the environment image such as a facial image of a user holding the electronic device (or a facial image of a preset user stored in the electronic device), the object in the environment image such as a plurality of computers and office chairs in an office environment (or a projector and a plurality of office chairs in a conference environment, and objects such as a sofa and a bookshelf in a home environment), the environment image includes the second preset object, and the second preset object wears an audio output device such as a facial image of a user holding the electronic device (or a facial image of a preset user stored in the electronic device), and the audio output device such as a headset is determined at the ear position.

In still another or various alternative embodiments, when the environment information includes the environment audio and the environment image, step 320 may specifically refer to the above example, and will not be described herein again. It should be noted that, the step of acquiring the environmental audio and the environmental image may be acquiring sequentially or acquiring simultaneously, which is not limited herein.

Therefore, according to the environment audio and the environment image, the application scene information of the current electronic equipment is judged by using the existing artificial intelligence, for example, the privacy application scene information such as a conference scene, a public transportation scene and the like not only comprises the own scene of the user and the scene that the user needs to keep secret, but also the non-privacy application scene information such as a game scene, a home scene and the like comprises the own scene of the user and the scene that the user does not need to keep secret. Of course, in the embodiment of the application, the application scenario information may be determined according to the usage information of the electronic device used by the user, that is, the usage habit information of the user, for example, the ring mode of the electronic device is adjusted to the mute mode at 10 am to 12 am by the habit of the user, and the application scenario information may be determined to be a conference scenario. Of course, in addition to the above-described determination of the application context information by itself, it is also possible to notify that the application context information is determined from the environment information and the use information of the electronic device used by the user.

Further, the target audio output device may be determined through step 330 according to application context information with different attributes, such as private application context information or non-private application context information.

In one or more optional embodiments, when the application context information is private application context information, step 330 may specifically include:

determining the electronic equipment as target audio output equipment, and controlling a first target audio output channel of the electronic equipment to play second audio;

or, under the condition that the first audio output device is detected to be in the preset state, determining that the first audio output device is the target audio output device; wherein the preset state comprises at least one of the following: the wearing state of the user and the distance between the user and the user are smaller than or equal to a fourth preset threshold.

For example, if the first audio output device, such as a bluetooth (wired) headset, is worn by the user, it may be determined that the first audio output device is the target audio output device, and conversely, if the first audio output device is not worn by the user, it may be determined that the electronic device is the target audio output device. In addition, if the distance between the first audio output device, such as a bluetooth (wired) speaker, and the user is less than or equal to a fourth preset threshold, the bluetooth (wired) speaker may be controlled to play the second audio at a third preset volume.

Further, since the target audio output device includes different numbers of audio output channels, such as an earpiece audio output channel and a speaker audio output channel included in the electronic device, and one audio output channel included in the bluetooth headset, the following determination of the audio output channel for playing the second audio in the target audio output device is provided in the embodiments of the present application.

In the case where the target audio output device includes one audio output channel, it is detected whether the audio output channel plays audio such as the first audio. And under the condition that the audio output channel is detected to play the first audio, the electronic equipment controls the audio output channel to stop playing the first audio and controls the audio output channel to play the second audio.

Therefore, if the target audio output device only has a single audio output channel and the single audio output channel plays audio, if the audio output channel is determined as an audio output channel playing second audio, the audio output channel is controlled to stop playing the first audio, and the audio output channel is controlled to play the second audio.

Conversely, in the case that the target audio output device includes a plurality of (i.e., at least two) audio output channels, the audio output channel for playing the second audio may be selected according to the application scene information of the electronic device, as shown in detail below. In the case where the target audio output device includes a plurality of audio output channels, the audio output channel for playing the second audio may be determined by the following steps, and the step 330 may specifically include steps 3301-3303.

Step 3301, detect the number of audio output channels of the target audio output device.

And 3302, determining a second target audio output channel among the N audio output channels according to the application scene information when it is detected that the number of the audio output channels is N, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

And 3303, controlling a second target audio output channel of the target audio output device to play a second audio.

The above steps are described in detail below, specifically as follows:

referring to step 3302, when the target audio output device is an electronic device that includes an earpiece audio output channel and a speaker audio output channel.

Determining the earphone audio output channel as a second target audio output channel under the condition that the application scene information of the electronic equipment is the privacy application scene information; and under the condition that the application scene information of the electronic equipment is the non-privacy application scene information, determining the loudspeaker audio output channel as a second target audio output channel.

Referring to step 3303, in case that the second target audio output channel plays the third audio, the audio output channel is controlled to stop playing the third audio, and the audio output channel is controlled to play the second audio.

In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned possibility that the electronic device is connected only to one or more first audio output devices, the electronic device may also be connected to one or more second audio output devices. Here, the difference between the first audio output device and the second audio output device may include that the first audio output device is playing the first audio while the second audio is acquired, and the second audio output device is not playing the audio. Therefore, under the condition that the electronic equipment is connected with the second audio output equipment, the state information of the second audio output equipment is acquired;

under the condition that the state information of the second audio output device is detected to be a wearing state, determining that the application scene information is privacy application scene information;

and controlling the second audio output equipment to play the second audio according to the privacy application scene information.

In addition, it should be noted that, in one or more alternative embodiments, the obtaining of the state information of the second audio output device may be performed after determining that the application context information is the privacy application context information, so that in a case that it is detected that the state information of the second audio output device is in a wearing state, the second audio output device is controlled to play the second audio.
