Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart for implementing a control method provided in an embodiment of the present application may be applied to a connection device capable of establishing a data connection with and transmitting data to an interaction device and an electronic device, such as a headset bin for transmitting headset status information and instructions for a headset and a notebook, a joystick box for transmitting game frames for a game pad and a game terminal, and so on. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for reducing the energy consumption of the interactive device.
Specifically, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps:
step 101: in the case that the interactive device and the electronic equipment establish the first data connection through the connection device, the connection device monitors the connection state of the interactive device, characterizes disconnection of the first data connection based on at least the connection state, and executes step 102, and if the connection state characterizes that the first data connection is not disconnected, then continues to execute step 101 to continuously monitor the connection state of the interactive device on the first data connection with the connection device.
The first data connection may be used to establish a second data connection between the interaction device and the connection device, and then between the interaction device and the electronic device. The second data connection is used for transmitting data streams between the interaction device and the connection device, i.e. between the interaction device and the electronics via the connection device.
In particular, the connection power consumption of the first data connection is lower than the connection power consumption of the second data connection, and/or the communication type of the first data connection is the same as the communication type of the second data connection. The communication type here can also be understood as a communication type, for example, the first data connection is a bluetooth Low energy (ble) connection and the second data connection is a classic bluetooth connection bt (classic bluetooth). In a specific implementation, a BLE bluetooth module and a classic bluetooth module are loaded in each of the interaction device, the connection device and the electronic device, based on that the BLE bluetooth module can establish a BLE connection between the interaction device and the electronic device through the connection device, and after the BLE connection is established, the BLE connection can be used for transmitting a control instruction and state information between the interaction device and the electronic device, where the control instruction may include a connection instruction and/or a reset instruction transmitted from the electronic device to the interaction device, the connection instruction is used for instructing the interaction device to establish a second data connection with the electronic device, and the reset instruction is used for instructing the interaction device to reset configuration information on the interaction device. The state information refers to device state information transmitted from the interaction device to the electronic device, and may include: the interactive device comprises any one or more of electric quantity state information, connection state information and charging state information of the interactive device, wherein the connection state information refers to state information of whether a first data connection is established between the interactive device and the electronic equipment through the connection device, the charging state information refers to state information of whether the electronic equipment charges the interactive device through the connection device, and the electric quantity state information refers to information of the current remaining electric quantity state of the interactive device and can be represented by numerical values such as percentage. Further, based on the classic bluetooth module and the established BLE connection, a classic bluetooth connection can be established between the interaction device and the electronic device through the connection device, and the classic bluetooth connection is used for transmitting data streams, such as sound signals or game frames, between the interaction device and the electronic device.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, a BLE connection is established between the headset and the headset bin, so that a BLE connection can be established between the headset and the notebook through the headset bin, and a classic bluetooth connection can be established between the headset and the headset bin through the BLE connection, so that a sound signal of the notebook can be output in the headset. Of course, other headphones or other output devices can establish a BLE connection and a classic bluetooth connection with the notebook in this way to realize the output of the sound signal in the notebook.
It should be noted that the connection device may establish the first data connection and the second data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device through the built-in communication module, so that data transmission may be performed between the interaction device and the electronic device through the connection device. For example, be provided with bluetooth module in the handle case, the handle case passes through bluetooth module and establishes BLE between game terminal and the game paddle and classical bluetooth connection respectively to make between game paddle and the game terminal realize data transmission through the handle case.
In addition, the connecting device can also provide a containing space for the interaction device, and the interaction device can be stored in the containing space. At this time, when the interactive device is placed in the accommodating space formed by the connecting device, the connecting device has two states of the accommodating space being closed and the accommodating space being opened. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the earphone is in a state where the earphone is in the earphone chamber and the chamber cover of the earphone chamber is closed, and the earphone is in a state where the earphone is in the earphone chamber but the chamber cover of the earphone chamber is not closed.
Here, the connection device may be configured to be disposed in a separate electronic apparatus, or may be configured to be built in the electronic apparatus. For example, the headphone housing may be provided separately from the notebook, or the headphone housing may be connected in-line in the notebook via a universal Serial bus (usb) interface, as shown in fig. 4.
In this embodiment, the connecting device may further establish an electrical connection between the interaction device and the electronic apparatus, so that the electronic apparatus charges the interaction device through the connecting device. Specifically, the connection device may establish an electrical connection with the electronic device in a wired or wireless manner, for example, the earphone bin is connected to the notebook through the USB interface, and the USB interface realizes an electrical connection between the earphone bin and the notebook, or the earphone bin is connected to the notebook through the wireless manner, and the notebook provides electrical energy to the earphone bin through an isolated or contact manner. Based on this, set up charging circuit in the connecting device, charging circuit obtains the electric energy and exports the interactive device in the connecting device from its electronic equipment through wired mode or wireless mode. For example, a charging circuit is arranged in the earphone bin, and the charging circuit obtains electric energy from a notebook computer where the charging circuit is located through a USB interface and outputs the electric energy to an earphone in the earphone bin.
Specifically, the connection device of the connection device monitoring interaction device may have a plurality of different implementation manners, as follows:
in one implementation, the connection device may determine whether the interactive device still maintains the first data connection with the connection device by monitoring device status information transmitted by the interactive device. It may be determined that the first data connection between the interactive device and the connection device is disconnected if device status information of the interactive device is not received on the connection device for a certain length of time. For example, during the period that the headset establishes a BLE connection with the headset bin, the headset updates the headset state information to the headset bin at a certain frequency, and if the headset state information updated by the headset is not received in 5 minutes on the headset bin, the headset bin may determine that the BLE connection with the headset bin may be disconnected due to the headset moving to a position beyond the connection range.
In another implementation, the connecting apparatus may determine whether the first data connection with the connecting apparatus is disconnected due to the interactive apparatus being powered off by monitoring a power-off instruction of the interactive apparatus. The shutdown instruction is sent to the connection device by the interactive device or the electronic device when the interactive device meets the shutdown condition, and the shutdown condition can be a condition that the interactive device is low in power, full of power or the electronic device is powered off in the charging process. If the connection device receives a shutdown instruction transmitted by the interaction device, it may be determined that the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device is about to be disconnected. For example, the headset may send a shutdown instruction to the headset bin when the laptop is shut down during low power, full power, or charging, and the headset bin may determine that the BLE connection with the headset bin is to be disconnected due to shutdown of the headset.
In another implementation, the connection device may monitor its connection configuration information to determine whether the interaction device has established the first data connection with the connection device. The connection configuration information of the connection device includes information of all devices or apparatuses connected to the connection device through the first data connection, such as an interactive device and an electronic apparatus. If there is no device identification or connection identification or the like of the interactive device in the connection configuration information of the connection device, it may be determined that the first data connection between the interactive device and the connection device has been disconnected. For example, when the headset establishes a BLE connection with the headset bin, the headset may be carried, moved and moved to an area beyond the connection range of the headset bin, the headset bin continuously monitors the connection configuration information of the headset, if the bluetooth identifier of the headset is contained in the connection configuration information, it may be determined that the headset continuously establishes a BLE connection with the headset bin, and if the bluetooth identifier of the headset is not already contained in the connection configuration information, the headset bin may determine that the BLE connection with the headset bin has been disconnected due to the fact that the headset moves to a position beyond the connection range.
Step 102: and outputting the first instruction.
The first instruction is used for instructing the interaction device to restore the first data connection with the electronic equipment through the connection device according to the received first instruction.
It can be seen that, when the connection device monitors that the first data connection with the interaction device is disconnected, the connection device outputs the first instruction to instruct the interaction device receiving the first instruction to restore the first data connection with the connection device, so that the interaction device restores the first data connection with the electronic device.
Specifically, when outputting the first instruction, the connection device may be implemented in different manners as follows:
in one implementation, the connection device continuously outputs the first command according to a preset second output frequency in the second time period, so that the connection device can continuously output a plurality of first commands in the second time period. The second output frequency and the second duration can be set according to requirements, and if the second output frequency is set to be a higher frequency value, higher connection recovery efficiency can be achieved for a user; if the second output frequency is set to a lower frequency value and the second duration is set to a lower value, the energy consumption of the connection device can be reduced for the user; if the second duration is set to a longer value, a more reliable connection service can be provided to the user. For example, upon finding that the BLE connection of the headset is disconnected, the headset bin continuously broadcasts the first instruction at a frequency of once every 5 seconds for 2 hours, as shown in fig. 5.
In another implementation, the connection device may output only one first instruction for the second duration. For example, the connection device outputs a first instruction for a second duration after detecting that the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device is disconnected. For example, the headset bin broadcasts a first instruction once after 20 minutes when it finds that the BLE connection of the headset is disconnected, as shown in fig. 6.
Based on the above implementation, after receiving the first instruction broadcasted by the connection device, the interaction device may establish the first data connection with the connection device according to instruction content included in the first instruction, such as a device identifier of the connection device, and thus the interaction device may restore the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device. For example, when discovering that BLE of the headset is disconnected, the headset bin continuously broadcasts the first instruction according to the frequency of once every 5 seconds within 2 hours, and if the headset is powered on or moves back to the connection range of the headset bin, the headset can receive the first instruction broadcasted by the headset bin, and then establish BLE connection with the headset bin according to the bluetooth identifier of the headset bin in the first instruction, so that the headset recovers the BLE connection with the notebook, on this basis, the headset can establish classic bluetooth connection with the notebook, and then realize data transmission, as shown in fig. 7.
In the foregoing solution, in the control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application, when the interactive apparatus and the electronic device establish the first data connection through the connection apparatus, the interactive apparatus monitors the connection state of the interactive apparatus, and then outputs the first instruction at least when the connection state indicates that the first data connection is disconnected, so as to instruct the interactive apparatus to restore the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection apparatus according to the received first instruction. Therefore, in the embodiment, the instruction output is performed through the connection device, so that the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device is recovered, and the instruction broadcast of the interaction device is not relied on in the process, so that the energy consumption of the interaction device is reduced.
Based on the above implementation, if the connection state characterizes the first connection disconnection in step 101, the method in this embodiment may further include the following steps, as shown in fig. 8:
step 103: the connection device monitors whether a second instruction sent by the interaction device is received, and if the connection device does not receive the second instruction within the first duration, step 102 is executed.
The second instruction is used for instructing the connecting device to restore the first data connection between the interaction device and the first equipment.
It can be seen that after the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device is disconnected, the interaction device attempts to restore the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device by outputting a second instruction within a first time period. If the second instruction is transmitted to the connecting device within the first duration, the connecting device can restore the first data connection between the interactive device and the electronic equipment according to the second instruction, and further restore the first data connection between the interactive device and the electronic equipment; and if the second instruction is not transmitted to the connecting device within the first time period, the first data connection between the interaction device and the connecting device cannot be recovered, at this time, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the interaction device, the connecting device outputs the first instruction to try to recover the first data connection between the interaction device and the interaction device, and if the first instruction output by the connecting device is received by the interaction device within the second time period, the interaction device can recover the first data connection between the interaction device and the connecting device according to the first instruction, so that the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic equipment is recovered.
Specifically, when the interaction device outputs the second instruction, the following different manners may be implemented:
in one implementation, the interactive device continuously outputs the second instruction according to a preset first output frequency in the first time period, so that the interactive device can continuously output a plurality of second instructions in the first time period. The first output frequency and the first time length can be set according to requirements, and if the first output frequency is set to be a higher frequency value, higher connection recovery efficiency can be achieved for a user; if the first output frequency is set to a lower frequency value and the first time length is set to a lower value, the energy consumption of the interactive device can be reduced for the user; if the first time length is set to a longer value, a more reliable connection service can be provided to the user. For example, upon finding that the BLE connection with the headset bin is disconnected, the headset continuously broadcasts a second instruction at a frequency of once every 3 seconds for 15 minutes, as shown in fig. 9.
In another implementation, the interaction means may output only one second instruction for the first duration. For example, the interactive device outputs a second instruction after monitoring that the first data connection between the connection device and the interactive device is disconnected for a first time period. For example, the headset broadcasts a second instruction once after 15 minutes when it finds the BLE connection to the headset bin disconnected, as shown in figure 10.
For example, the headset is carried by the user to move during the use process, the headset breaks the BLE connection with the headset bin due to moving out of the connection range, that is, the user carries the headset out of the vicinity of the notebook, at this time, the headset bin waits for the second instruction broadcasted by the headset, meanwhile, the headset continuously broadcasts the second instruction according to the frequency once every 3 seconds within 15 minutes, if the headset moves back into the connection range of the headset bin, the headset bin can receive the second instruction broadcasted by the headset, and recovers the BLE connection with the headset according to the bluetooth identifier of the headset in the second instruction, if the headset does not move back into the connection range of the headset bin, the headset bin cannot receive the second instruction broadcasted by the headset within 15 minutes, at this time, the headset bin can continuously broadcast the first instruction according to the frequency once every 5 seconds within the next 2 hours, if the headset moves back into the connection range of the headset bin, that is, the user carries the headset to return to near the notebook, then the headset can receive the first instruction broadcasted by the headset bin, and then establish the BLE connection with the headset bin according to the bluetooth identification of the headset bin in the first instruction, from this, the headset resumes the BLE connection with the notebook, on this basis, the headset can establish the classic bluetooth connection with the notebook, and then realize data transmission, as shown in fig. 11.
In one implementation, after step 102, that is, after the connection device outputs the first instruction, the following steps may be further included in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 12:
step 104: the connection means monitors whether the first data connection is restored and if the first data connection is not restored within the second period of time, step 105 is performed, whereas if the first data connection is restored, step 105 may be performed directly.
Step 105: the connection device stops outputting the first instruction.
That is, the connection means may stop outputting the first instruction in case the first data connection is not restored but the first instruction has been broadcast for more than the second duration to avoid excessive power consumption.
In another implementation, if it is detected in step 104 that the first data connection is not recovered within the second duration, the process may also return to step 102 again until the first data connection is recovered, and then execute step 105 again, as shown in fig. 13. Therefore, the connecting device can continuously broadcast the first command until the interactive device and the connecting device recover the first data connection, although the processing performance of the connecting device can be consumed, the connecting device can be ensured to immediately recover the first data connection with the interactive device once the interactive device enters the connection range of the connecting device and is positioned at the starting drill bit, and the connection recovery time is ensured.
For example, the headset is carried by the user to move during the use process, the BLE connection between the headset and the headset bin is disconnected due to the fact that the headset moves out of the connection range, namely the user carries the headset out of the vicinity of the notebook, at this time, the headset bin waits for the second instruction broadcasted by the headset, meanwhile, the headset continuously broadcasts the second instruction according to the frequency once every 3 seconds within 15 minutes, if the headset does not move back into the connection range of the headset bin, the headset bin cannot receive the second instruction broadcasted by the headset within 15 minutes, at this time, the headset bin can continuously broadcast the first instruction according to the frequency once every 5 seconds within the next 2 hours, if the headset moves back into the connection range of the headset bin, namely the user carries the headset back into the vicinity of the notebook, the headset can receive the first instruction broadcasted by the headset bin, and then the BLE connection between the headset bin is established according to the bluetooth identifier of the headset bin in the first instruction, from this, the headset resumes BLE connection with the notebook, at this time, the headset bin may stop broadcasting the first instruction, and if the headset has not moved back to the connection range of the headset bin all the time, the headset bin may directly stop broadcasting the first instruction after 2 hours have passed, or continue broadcasting the first instruction until the headset moves back to the connection range of the headset bin, so that the headset resumes BLE connection with the notebook, at this time, the headset bin stops broadcasting the first instruction again, as shown in fig. 14.
Further, after step 105, that is, after the connection device stops outputting the first instruction, the following steps may be further included in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 15:
step 106: the connecting device triggers the electronic equipment to output prompt information.
The prompt information is used for prompting the input operation of connection on the application program corresponding to the interactive device.
That is, in order to avoid excessive power consumption, the connection means may stop outputting the first instruction after the first data connection is not restored within the second duration, prompt information can be output for the user through the electronic equipment to prompt the user to perform input operation of connection configuration on a configuration interface of an application program, the application program can be a program installed for the interactive device on a terminal of the user such as a mobile phone, which contains a configuration interface, such as the headset connection configuration interface shown in fig. 16, whereby, after the second period of time, since the connecting means has stopped outputting the first instruction, and the interacting means has no longer output the second instruction, in order to be able to establish the first data connection, the user may perform a connection configuration operation on the interaction device on a configuration interface of the interaction device, thereby manually establishing the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device.
In addition, the user may also perform a disconnection operation on the application program of the interactive apparatus to connect the interactive apparatus with the connection apparatus or other devices.
For example, after the headset bin may stop broadcasting the first instruction, the headset bin may output a prompt message on the notebook to prompt the user to make a connection setup for the paired headset on the cell phone so that the headset can establish a BLE connection with the notebook again through the headset bin, as shown in fig. 17.
Referring to fig. 18, a schematic structural diagram of a control device provided in the second embodiment of the present application is shown, where the control device may be configured in a connection device capable of establishing a data connection with the interaction device and the electronic device and transmitting data for the interaction device and the electronic device, such as a headset bin for transmitting headset status information and instructions for a headset and a notebook, and further such as a handle box for transmitting game frames for a game pad and a game terminal, and so on. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for reducing the energy consumption of the interactive device.
Specifically, the control device in this embodiment may include the following functional units:
a monitoring unit 1801, configured to monitor a connection state of the interaction device when the interaction device and the first electronic device establish a first data connection through the connection device, characterize that the first data connection is disconnected based on the connection state, and trigger the output unit;
an output unit 1802, configured to output a first instruction, where the first instruction is used to instruct the interaction apparatus to resume, according to the received first instruction, a first data connection with the first electronic device through the connection apparatus.
It can be seen from the foregoing solution that in the control device provided in the second embodiment of the present application, when the interaction device establishes the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device, the interaction device monitors the connection state of the interaction device, and then outputs the first instruction at least when the connection state indicates that the first data connection is disconnected, so as to instruct the interaction device to recover the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device according to the received first instruction. Therefore, in the embodiment, the instruction output is performed through the connection device, so that the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device is recovered, and the instruction broadcast of the interaction device is not relied on in the process, so that the energy consumption of the interaction device is reduced.
In one implementation, output unit 1802 is specifically configured to: continuously outputting a first instruction according to a preset output frequency within a second time length; or only one first instruction is output in the second duration.
In one implementation, if the connection status indicates that the first connection is disconnected, the monitoring unit 1801 is further configured to: monitoring whether a second instruction sent by the interaction device is received, wherein the second instruction is used for instructing the connection device to recover a first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic equipment; if the connecting device does not receive the second instruction within the first duration, the output unit 1802 is triggered to output the first instruction.
Optionally, the interaction device continuously sends the second instruction according to a preset first output frequency within the first duration; or, the interactive device only sends one second instruction within the first duration.

It should be noted that, for the specific implementation of each unit in the present embodiment, reference may be made to the corresponding content in the foregoing, and details are not described here.
Referring to fig. 19, a schematic structural diagram of a connection device according to a third embodiment of the present invention is provided, where the connection device may be a connection device capable of establishing a data connection with an interaction device and an electronic device and transmitting data to the interaction device and the electronic device, such as a headset bin for transmitting headset status information and instructions to a headset and a notebook, and further such as a handle box for transmitting game frames to a game pad and a game terminal, and so on. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for reducing the energy consumption of the interactive device.
Specifically, the connecting device in this embodiment may include the following structure:
a processor 1901, configured to, when the interaction apparatus establishes a first data connection with a first electronic device through a connection apparatus, monitor a connection state of the interaction apparatus by the connection apparatus;
a communication module 1902, such as a bluetooth module, configured to characterize the disconnection of the first data connection based on at least the connection status, and output a first instruction, where the first instruction is used to instruct the interaction apparatus to resume the first data connection with the first electronic device through the connection apparatus according to the received first instruction.
Of course, other components, such as a charging circuit, etc., may also be included in the connection device.
According to the above scheme, in the connection device provided in the third embodiment of the present application, when the interaction device establishes the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device, the interaction device monitors the connection state of the interaction device, and then outputs the first instruction at least when the connection state indicates that the first data connection is disconnected, so as to instruct the interaction device to restore the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device according to the received first instruction. Therefore, in the embodiment, the instruction output is performed through the connection device, so that the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device is recovered, and the instruction broadcast of the interaction device is not relied on in the process, so that the energy consumption of the interaction device is reduced.
In addition, the application can also provide an electronic device comprising the connecting device, such as a notebook provided with an earphone cabin, a game terminal provided with a handle box and the like. The electronic device may also be worn with corresponding interactive devices, such as a headset or a game pad.
Taking the electronic device as a notebook computer equipped with an earphone chamber (which may also be a charging tray or a charging chamber) capable of placing a true Wireless bluetooth tws (true Wireless stereo) earphone (hereinafter referred to as an earphone) as an example, a detailed example of the technical scheme in the present application is given as follows:
with reference to fig. 20, in a scenario where the master headset establishes a BLE connection with the notebook and the handset simultaneously, the slave headset establishes a BLE connection with the notebook at a connection point where the master headset is connected with the notebook and the handset, based on which, if the user carries the handset and leaves the notebook with the left slave headset so that the headset exceeds the connection range of the headset bin, the master headset continuously broadcasts a second instruction to scan the peripheral notebook to attempt to recover the BLE connection with the headset bin therein, and waits on the notebook, if the master headset still does not recover the BLE connection with the headset bin after 15 minutes, the master headset stops broadcasting the instruction, since the second instruction broadcasted by the master headset is not received within 15 minutes of waiting on the notebook, the headset bin on the notebook broadcasts a first instruction to attempt to recover the BLE connection with the peripheral master headset until the master headset is carried back into the connection range of the headset bin by the user, the main earphone can receive the first instruction broadcasted by the earphone bin and accordingly recover the BLE connection between the main earphone and the earphone bin, the BLE connection between the main earphone and the notebook is recovered, if the main earphone does not return to the connection range of the earphone bin all the time, the earphone bin does not broadcast the first instruction any more after broadcasting the first instruction for 2 hours, at the moment, the earphone also enters a standby state, and if a user needs the earphone, the earphone can be connected and set in a Bluetooth list of the mobile phone.
It can be seen that, generally, after the headset and the master device, i.e. the notebook computer, exceed the connection range, the BLE connection is disconnected from the master device, and if the headset returns to the connection range within a certain time (generally, 15 minutes), the headset always sends a connection instruction back to the master device to automatically reply the connection; if the time exceeds 15 minutes, the earphone cabin actively sends back a connection instruction through the BLE module for 2 hours, and when the earphone returns to the connection range, the connection back instruction of the earphone cabin can be received, so that automatic connection back after long-time disconnection can be realized. And if the earphone does not return to the connection range, the earphone bin does not send a connection instruction back, the user can click the disconnection in the configuration interface through a matched application program to realize the disconnection between the earphone and the main equipment, and if the reconnection is needed, the user only needs to click the reconnection.
In conclusion, by adopting the technical scheme of the application, the earphone can be easily interacted with the notebook computer through the earphone bin, and the automatic connection time of the earphone can be prolonged without increasing the power consumption of the earphone; in addition, the user can easily connect and disconnect the earphone and the notebook computer through the application program.
