Example one

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wireless headset 1, a first terminal 2, and a second terminal 3 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the wireless headset 1 of this embodiment includes:

a first wireless transceiver 101, said first wireless transceiver 101 being adapted to wirelessly communicate with a first terminal 2 based on a first communication protocol;

a second wireless transceiver 102, said second wireless transceiver 102 being adapted to wirelessly communicate with a second terminal 3 based on a second communication protocol, said second communication protocol being different from said first communication protocol.

The type of the Wireless headset 1 may be various, for example, the type of the Wireless headset 1 may be a general Wireless headset 1 or a True Wireless Stereo (TWS) headset, and the like.

The specific form of the wireless headset 1 can be determined according to actual needs.

For example, in daily use, a user may use a pair of paired earphones including a left earphone and a right earphone, and the wireless earphone 1 in the embodiment of the present application may be one of the paired earphones, that is, the wireless earphone 1 may be the left earphone or the right earphone of the pair of paired earphones, and there is another wireless earphone 4 paired with the wireless earphone 1, and the wireless earphone 1 may perform information transmission through wireless communication with the other matched wireless earphone 4 without setting a wired connection. The functions of the other wireless earphones 4 paired with the wireless earphone 1 may be the same as or different from the wireless earphone 1.

Of course, in some cases, the wireless headset 1 may be used alone in the form of one left or right headset without pairing with other wireless headsets 4.

In addition, the specific structure of the wireless headset 1 may also be determined according to specific scene requirements, and is not limited herein.

For example, other components may be included in the wireless headset 1 in addition to the first wireless transceiver 101 and the second wireless transceiver 102. For example, one or more of the control chip 103, the housing, the earpiece keys (e.g., mechanical keys or touch keys), the microphone 108, the speaker 109, the antenna 104, and the battery, among others, may be included. The earphone keys may have a raised portion on the surface of the wireless earphone 1 for easy contact by a user, and may have one or more earphone keys; and the microphone 108, the control chip 103, the speaker 109, the antenna 104, and the battery may be mounted inside the housing. In some embodiments, the wireless headset 1 may comprise a control chip 103, and the control chip 103 may be configured to control the wireless headset 1 to communicate wirelessly via the first wireless transceiver 101 and/or to communicate wirelessly via the wireless transceiver 102.

The first wireless transceiver 101 may be capable of unidirectional or bidirectional information transfer with the first terminal 2 based on the first communication protocol. The first communication protocol may be a general protocol, or may be considered as a standard communication protocol, for example, a bluetooth transmission protocol. Illustratively, the first terminal 2 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a wearable device, and the like.

The second wireless transceiver 102 may perform a one-way or two-way information transfer with the second terminal 3 based on the second communication protocol. The second communication protocol may be different from the first communication protocol, that is, a channel bandwidth or a communication frequency band of the second communication protocol may be different from the first communication protocol. In some examples, the second communication protocol may be a proprietary communication protocol, which may also be referred to as a custom communication protocol. Different from the standard communication protocol, the protocol specification of the private communication protocol is often a self-defined specification, and the specific content of the second communication protocol can be set by research personnel, so that the private communication protocol is often simpler than the standard communication protocol, the transmission delay of wireless transmission through the private communication protocol is often very low, and the wireless transmission with ultra-low delay can be realized. If the second communication protocol is a private communication protocol, the second communication protocol may be pre-deployed in the second terminal 3. Illustratively, the second terminal 3 may be a wireless transmitter 5 or the like. In some examples, the second terminal 3 may also be electrically connected with the other terminal, and in this case, the other terminal may wirelessly communicate with the wireless headset 1 through the second terminal 3.

The specific information interaction mode of the wireless headset 1 with the first terminal 2 and the second terminal 3 may be determined according to the type of the wireless headset 1 and the types of the first terminal 2 and the second terminal 3.

In some embodiments, the first communication protocol is a bluetooth communication protocol, the second communication protocol is a private communication protocol, and the second terminal 3 is a wireless transmitter 5, the wireless transmitter 5 being configured to electrically connect with the first terminal 2.

In this embodiment, the channel bandwidth of the private communication protocol may be different from the bluetooth communication protocol, so as to avoid mutual interference between information streams. The communication frequency band of the private communication protocol may be the same as or different from the bluetooth communication protocol. In some examples, the first communication protocol and the bluetooth communication protocol are both in the 2.4GHz band.

Since the private communication protocol does not need to set a large-scale protocol stack and a complicated transmission standard, generally, the delay of wireless communication based on the private communication protocol is often small, and thus, data transmission with ultra-low delay can be realized.

In some examples, the wireless transmitter 5 may be a portable device. At this time, the wireless transmitter 5 may be conveniently carried by a user and used to electrically connect with the first terminal 2, so that the first terminal 2 can perform wireless communication with the wireless headset 1 through the wireless transmitter 5 in a second communication protocol. It can be seen that, if the second terminal 3 is the wireless transmitter 5, in the wireless connection mode based on the first communication protocol, the first terminal 2 can perform information transmission with the wireless headset 1 through the first wireless transceiver 101; in the wireless connection mode based on the second communication protocol, the first terminal 2 can perform information transmission with the wireless headset 1 through the wireless transmitter 5 and the second wireless transceiver 102. At this time, when operations such as online gaming, online live broadcasting, and the like are performed through the wireless headset 1 and the first terminal 2, ultra-low-delay data transmission between the wireless headset 1 and the first terminal 2 may be achieved through the wireless transceiver, so that the use experience of the user may be improved.

A specific implementation of the embodiments of the present application is schematically illustrated below with specific examples.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an information interaction manner between the wireless headset 1 and the first terminal 2.

As shown in fig. 2, in one example, the first terminal 2 may be a mobile phone. There may be other wireless earphones 4 paired with the wireless earphone 1, where the wireless earphone 1 may be a right earphone, the other wireless earphones 4 may be left earphones, and the functions of the other wireless earphones 4 may be the same as the wireless earphone 1. Wherein, for the convenience of wearing, the structure of the other wireless earphone 4 may be symmetrical to the structure of the wireless earphone 1.

The wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headsets 4 can be stored in a storage box when not in use.

After the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4 paired with the wireless headset 1 are taken out from the storage box, the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4 can both wirelessly communicate with a mobile phone through a bluetooth communication protocol (i.e., the first communication protocol in this example) to transmit audio data, for example, the mobile phone can transmit audio corresponding to video and audio received through a cellular network during a call to the wireless headset 1 and/or the other wireless headset 4, and the wireless headset 1 and/or the other wireless headset 4 can transmit audio received by the microphone 108 of the mobile phone.

The second terminal 3 may be a wireless transmitter 5. The wireless transmitter 5 may be a portable wireless transmitter 5, so as to be carried by a user, and is used to electrically connect with the first terminal 2, so that the first terminal 2 can perform wireless communication with the wireless headset 1 through the wireless transmitter 5.

Illustratively, the wireless transmitter 5 may be connected to the first terminal 2 through a predetermined interface (e.g., a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, etc.), so as to obtain an audio signal from the mobile phone. And, the wireless transmitter 5 can perform signal transmission with the wireless headset 1 through a private communication protocol, thereby reducing information transmission delay between the first terminal 2 and the wireless headset 1.

In some embodiments, the wireless headset 1 comprises a control chip 103, the first wireless transceiver 101 is located in the control chip 103 of the wireless headset 1, and the second wireless transceiver 102 is located outside the control chip 103.

In the embodiment of the present application, the specific structure and function of the control chip 103 may be various. For example, if the first communication protocol is a bluetooth communication protocol, the control chip 103 may be a bluetooth chip, and at this time, the first wireless transceiver 101 is located in the control chip 103, so that information transmission of the first wireless transceiver 101 may be controlled by a control module such as the host controller 107 in the control chip 103. Illustratively, the control chip 103 may include at least one of a low dropout regulator 106, a battery management unit 109, an analog-to-digital signal converter 110, a digital-to-analog signal converter 111, a microphone input interface 112, a host controller 107, and a bluetooth MAC protocol controller 113.

The second wireless transceiver 102 may be located outside the control chip 103 to reduce interference between different controls of the first wireless transceiver 101 and the second wireless transceiver 102, thereby improving control efficiency. In some embodiments, the second wireless transceiver 102 is an integrated chip. Illustratively, the second wireless transceiver 102 may include at least one of a slave controller 114 (e.g., a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) slave controller 1141 and/or an Inter-IC Sound (I2S) slave controller 1142), a wireless transceiver controller 115, an audio digital compression/decompression Unit 116, and a micro control Unit 117 (MCU).

In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the switch 105 may be determined according to requirements. In some examples, the Switch 105 may be a radio frequency Switch (RF Switch). By the switch 105, the antenna 104 can be controlled to be electrically connected with the second wireless transceiver 102 or the antenna 104 can be controlled to be electrically connected with the first wireless transceiver 101. In this case, the switch 105 may control the connection state and the disconnection state of the first wireless transceiver 101 and the second wireless transceiver 102 with respect to the antenna 104 by a control strategy such as time division multiplexing, so as to conveniently control the wireless communication method adopted when the wireless headset 1 performs wireless communication. In addition, the first wireless transceiver 101 and the second wireless transceiver 102 may share one antenna 104, so as to improve the compactness of the structure of the wireless headset 1, reduce the hardware cost, and reduce the volume of the wireless headset 1.

In some embodiments, the control chip 103 includes a low dropout regulator 106 therein, and the low dropout regulator 106 is configured to output a dc voltage to the second wireless transceiver 102.

In the embodiment of the present application, the low dropout regulator 106 can output one or at least two sets of direct current voltages (DC voltages) to the second wireless transceiver 102 as an operating power source of the second wireless transceiver 102. At this time, the control chip 103 may control not only the working power supply of the first wireless transceiver 101 located in the control chip 103, but also the working power supply of the second wireless transceiver 102 located outside the control chip 103, so as to reduce the hardware cost and the circuit area, and enable the wireless headset 1 to implement at least two wireless communication modes without increasing too much power consumption and hardware volume.

In some embodiments, the control chip 103 further comprises a battery management unit 109, and the battery management unit 109 can be electrically connected with the battery of the wireless headset 1 to realize charging and discharging control of the battery.

In some embodiments, a host controller 107 is included in the control chip 103, and the host controller 107 is configured to be electrically connected to a slave controller 114 of the second wireless transceiver 102 for transmitting audio data and/or control data.

Illustratively, the host controller 107 may include an SPI host controller 1071 and/or an I2S host controller 1072. SPI master controller 1071 in control chip 103 may be used to electrically connect with SPI slave controller 1141 of second wireless transceiver 102 for transmitting audio data and/or control data. The I2S master controller 1072 in the control chip 103 may be used to electrically connect with the I2S slave controller 1142 of the second wireless transceiver 102 for transmitting audio data.

Illustratively, the program information may include program code, control data, etc. of the second wireless transceiver 102, and the configuration information may include information of configuration parameters of the second wireless transceiver 102, etc. At this time, after the second wireless transceiver 102 is started, information such as program codes of the second wireless transceiver 102 may be acquired from the control chip 103 through the bus 118 for operating the second wireless transceiver 102. At this time, the second wireless transceiver 102 may store the program information and/or the configuration information of the second wireless transceiver 102 by using the sub-memory space in the control chip 103 without additionally providing a memory space, so as to reduce the hardware cost and the circuit area, and enable the wireless headset 1 to implement at least two wireless communication modes without increasing too much power consumption and hardware volume.

In some embodiments, the wireless headset 1 further comprises a microphone 108, wherein the microphone 108 is electrically connected with the control chip 103;

the control chip 103 is further configured to send an audio data stream to the first wireless transceiver 101 or the second wireless transceiver 102 according to a time division multiplexing control policy, where the audio data stream is a data stream obtained according to an audio signal collected by the microphone 108.

In the embodiment of the present application, the types and the number of the microphones 108 may be set in various ways. For example, the microphones 108 may include a digital microphone 1081 and/or an analog microphone 1082.

The analog microphone 1082 may be electrically coupled to the analog microphone input interface 1122 of the control chip 103.

Example 2

Fig. 6 shows a block diagram of a method for controlling a wireless headset according to an embodiment of the present application, which corresponds to the wireless headset 1 of the above embodiment, and only shows the relevant parts according to the embodiment of the present application for convenience of description.

The method of controlling a wireless headset in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to the wireless headset 1 in any of the above embodiments.

Referring to fig. 6, the method of controlling a wireless headset includes:

step S601, when the wireless headset 1 is in a first communication mode based on the first wireless transceiver 101, if preset trigger information is received, generating a first notification instruction, where the first notification instruction is used to synchronously notify the wireless headset 1 and other wireless headsets 4 paired with the wireless headset 1, and setting a wireless communication mode as a second communication mode based on the second wireless transceiver 102;

step S602, according to the first notification instruction, switching the wireless communication mode of the wireless headset 1 from the first communication mode to the second communication mode.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first communication mode is a wireless communication mode based on the first wireless transceiver 101, and therefore, in the first communication mode, wireless transmission is performed based on a first communication protocol through the first wireless transceiver 101.

The preset trigger information may be generated based on a preset trigger operation. For example, the preset trigger operation may be a specific operation (such as a double-click operation, a three-click operation, or a long press for several seconds, etc.) of a specific key on the wireless headset 1 by the user. Alternatively, the preset trigger information may also be generated based on a preset voice instruction, a gesture instruction, and the like. The specific generation manner of the preset trigger information is not limited herein.

The first notification instruction is used to synchronously notify the wireless headset 1 and other wireless headsets 4 paired with the wireless headset 1 to set the wireless communication mode to the second communication mode based on the second wireless transceiver 102. It will be appreciated that the first notification instruction may be an instruction and is sent to the designated control unit in the control chip 103 of the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4 simultaneously. Alternatively, the first notification instruction may include two instructions to be sent to the designated control unit in the control chip 103 of the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4, respectively, and the sending timings of the two instructions are the same, so as to implement synchronous notification to the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4 paired with the wireless headset 1.

In some examples, the first communication mode may be a default wireless communication mode of the wireless headset 1. When the wireless headset 1 is powered on, the wireless headset 1 may default to operate in the first communication mode, and may search for other paired wireless headsets 4 through the first communication mode. The wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4 may have a main headset and a sub-headset, and the wireless headset 1 in the embodiment of the present application may be the main headset or the sub-headset.

In this embodiment, when the wireless headset 1 is in the first communication mode based on the first wireless transceiver 101, if a preset trigger message is received, a first notification instruction may be generated, and the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headsets 4 paired with the wireless headset 1 are synchronously notified through the first notification instruction, so as to set the wireless communication mode to the second communication mode based on the second wireless transceiver 102; then, the wireless headset 1 may switch the wireless communication mode from the first communication mode to the second communication mode according to the first notification instruction, thereby ensuring that the wireless headset 1 and the other paired wireless headset 4 can be switched to the second communication mode at the same time.

In some embodiments, after switching the wireless communication mode of the wireless headset 1 from the first communication mode to the second communication mode according to the first notification instruction, the method further includes:

if the signal sent by the second terminal 3 is not received within a preset time period, generating a second notification instruction, where the second notification instruction is used to synchronously notify the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headsets 4, and setting a wireless communication mode to the first communication mode;

and switching the wireless communication mode of the wireless headset 1 from the second communication mode to the first communication mode according to the second notification instruction.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4 are already in the second communication mode, the wireless headset 1 and the other wireless headset 4 may simultaneously receive signals, such as an audio signal and a heartbeat packet signal, which are sent by the wireless transmitter 5, through the private communication protocol.

If the wireless headset 1 is already in the second communication mode, if the signal sent by the second terminal 3 is not received within the preset time period, the second notification instruction may be generated.

It should be noted that the second terminal 3 may be the other wireless earphones 4, at this time, the other wireless earphones 4 may not be successfully switched to the second communication mode according to the first notification instruction, or no information transmission is required at present, and as a result, the wireless earphone 1 does not currently have an information transmission requirement based on the second communication mode, and at this time, the second notification instruction may be generated to mean that the wireless earphone 1 and the other wireless earphones 4 are synchronously switched to the first communication mode.

Of course, the second terminal 3 may also be another terminal than the other wireless headset 4, for example, a wireless transmitter 5. If the second terminal 3 is the wireless transmitter 5, if the wireless headset 1 does not receive the audio signal and the heartbeat packet signal and other signals sent by the wireless transmitter 5 within a preset time period, it may be determined that there is no information transmission requirement based on the second communication mode, so that the second notification instruction may be generated.

In this embodiment of the application, if a signal sent by the second terminal 3 is not received within a preset time period, it may be considered that there is no information transmission requirement based on the second communication mode currently, and the wireless headset 1 may switch the wireless communication mode of the wireless headset 1 from the second communication mode to the first communication mode according to the second notification instruction, so as to ensure that the wireless headset 1 and the other paired wireless headsets 4 can be switched to the first communication mode in time and simultaneously, so as to uniformly set the wireless communication modes of all paired headsets to the first communication mode.

In some embodiments, the first wireless transceiver 101 and the second wireless transceiver 102 have the same MAC address for wireless communication based on the first communication mode and wireless communication based on the second communication mode.

In this embodiment of the application, the first wireless transceiver 101 and the second wireless transceiver 102 may have the same MAC Address (Media Access Control Address), and at this time, the wireless headset 1 may implement wireless communication through one MAC protocol controller, so as to reduce hardware cost and reduce the size of the wireless headset 1.

It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
