The audio management method and the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of an audio management method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which is executed by an electronic device, and the electronic device is communicatively connected to the audio device, as shown in fig. 1, and the method includes the following steps:

step 101, displaying an audio management interface, wherein the audio management interface comprises at least two management options.

In the embodiment of the application, in order to realize flexible management of output channels of different audios under the condition that the electronic equipment is connected with audio equipment such as Bluetooth headphones and sound boxes, and the like, the audio centralized management interface is designed to meet the audio playing requirements of users under different use scenes, a multidimensional management option is provided on the interface, the users can conveniently manage the audios from different dimensionalities, corresponding audio management pages are designed under each dimensionality management option, a plurality of different audio switches are provided on the pages, and the users can conveniently and independently manage various audios under the dimensionality management option. The embodiments of the present application are mainly described by taking bluetooth audio management as an example, but are not limited thereto.

The electronic device may refer to an electronic device with a bluetooth function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, etc., the audio device may refer to an audio device, such as a wired earphone, a bluetooth earphone, an intelligent sound box, etc., after the electronic device is communicatively connected with the audio device by means of bluetooth, an audio line, a network, etc., the audio of the electronic device may be taken over by the audio device, that is, the audio, such as a call, a media, etc., of the electronic device may be played by the audio device.

In an actual use scenario, after the electronic device is connected to the audio device, a user may have different audio playing requirements for different audio frequencies and different scenes, for example, media audio such as music, video, etc. needs to be played through the audio device, audio such as conversation and voice is not expected to be played through the audio device, for example, audio is expected to be played through the audio device in a driving scenario, audio is not expected to be played through the audio device in an office scenario, and so on. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, in order to meet different use requirements of users on the audio, the user can be supported to manage the audio from different dimensions through the audio management interface under the condition that the electronic equipment is connected with the audio equipment.

Specifically, the method can automatically jump to the audio management interface under the condition that the electronic equipment is detected to be connected with the audio equipment so as to facilitate a user to quickly manage and set the audio, or call out the audio management interface based on the trigger input of the user under the condition that the electronic equipment is detected to be connected with the audio equipment so as to display the audio management interface according to the management requirement of the user. In particular, when the electronic equipment is detected to be connected with the audio equipment for the first time, the electronic equipment can automatically jump to the audio management interface, and when the electronic equipment is not connected with the audio equipment for the first time, the electronic equipment does not automatically jump to the audio management interface, and the audio management interface is displayed based on the trigger input of the user. The implementation mode that the user calls out the audio management interface through the triggering input can be that the user enters the audio management interface through a Bluetooth icon in a system notification bar or a control center, and taking Bluetooth audio management as an example, the user enters the Bluetooth audio management interface after pressing the Bluetooth icon for a long time.

At least two management options corresponding to different dimensional audio management modes respectively can be displayed on the audio management interface, namely whether the audio equipment takes over audio can be finely controlled according to a plurality of dimensions on the audio management interface. The user can select from which dimension the audio is managed through the at least two management options, specifically, the user can enter an audio management page corresponding to one of the at least two management options by selecting the management option.

In some embodiments, the at least two management options include at least two of a contact management option, an application management option, a scene management option, and a foreground management option;

the contact management options are used for managing the audio output modes corresponding to the contacts;

the application management options are used for managing audio output modes corresponding to the application programs;

the scene management options are used for managing audio output modes corresponding to application scenes;

the foreground management option is used for managing the audio output modes corresponding to the display areas.

In one embodiment, the audio management interface may display some or all of a contact management option, an application management option, a scene management option, a foreground management option, etc., for example, the audio management interface may finely control whether audio is taken over by the audio device in four dimensions, which are respectively: contact management, application management, scene management, and foreground management.

The contact management is to manage audio from the dimension of the contact, and support a user to manage audio of different contacts or contact categories through contact management options, such as whether the Bluetooth audio is started or not according to the audio setting of a certain contact; the application management is to manage audio from the application dimension, and support users to manage audio of different applications or application categories through application management options, such as whether the audio setting of a certain application starts Bluetooth audio; the scene management is to manage audio from the dimension of the scene where the electronic equipment is located, and support users to manage audio of different scenes through scene management options, such as whether Bluetooth audio is started or not under a certain scene; the foreground management is to display mode dimension management audio from a foreground interface, and support a user to carry out audio management on different display areas of a display screen through foreground management options, such as whether Bluetooth audio is started in different split screen areas in a split screen mode or not.

In the embodiment, by displaying the contact management option, the user can be supported to control whether the corresponding audio is played through the audio device according to the contact, by displaying the contact management option, the user can be supported to control whether the corresponding audio is played through the audio device according to the application, by displaying the scene management option, the user can be supported to control whether the corresponding audio is played through the audio device according to the scene, by displaying the foreground management option, the user can be supported to control whether the corresponding audio is played through the audio device according to the foreground interface state, and therefore diversified audio management requirements of the user can be met.

Step 102, displaying a first audio management page corresponding to a first management option in the at least two management options, wherein at least one audio switch control is displayed on the first audio management page.

In some embodiments, the steps 101 and 102 may be performed simultaneously, that is, when the audio management interface is displayed, a first audio management page corresponding to a first management option of the at least two management options is displayed simultaneously, and each audio management page corresponding to the management option is a page in the audio management interface. Specifically, when the audio management interface is displayed, an audio management page corresponding to one of the at least two management options may be displayed by default, for example, an audio management page corresponding to a management option located at the leftmost or the uppermost position of the at least two management options may be displayed by default.

In still other embodiments, the step 101 and the step 102 may be performed sequentially, that is, after the audio management interface is displayed, the user may select one of the management options according to the requirement through at least two management options displayed in the audio management interface, so as to enter an audio management page corresponding to the selected management option, where the first management option is the management option selected by the user, and the electronic device correspondingly displays a first audio management page corresponding to the first management option.

In some embodiments, the step 102 includes:

and displaying a first audio management page corresponding to a first management option in the at least two management options under the condition that selection input of the first management option is received.

That is, in one embodiment, the audio management page corresponding to the corresponding management option may be displayed according to the user's selection. The user may perform a selection input on any one of the at least two management options, and the selected management option is the first management option. After the first management option is selected, a first audio management page corresponding to the first management option may be displayed, and specifically, the first audio management page may be directly displayed on the audio management interface. Taking bluetooth audio management as an example, as shown in fig. 2a, at least two management options 21 may be displayed in an upper area of the bluetooth audio management interface 20, and a first audio management page 22 corresponding to a first management option selected by a user may be displayed in a lower area of the bluetooth audio management interface 20; of course, the method may also jump to the next page, and display the audio management page corresponding to the first management option on the new page.

Step 103, controlling an audio output mode of the electronic equipment according to the on-off state of the audio switch control; the audio switch control is used for controlling an audio output mode corresponding to an object, an object category, an application scene or a display area, and the audio output mode comprises at least one of the following: outputting audio through the electronic device and outputting audio through the audio device.

At least one audio switch control under the first management option can be displayed on the first audio management page, and the audio switch control is used for setting whether an object, an object category, an application scene or each display area under the first management option dimension is started to output audio through audio equipment.

For example, when the contact management option is selected, as shown in FIG. 2a, the Bluetooth audio management interface 20 is switched underneath to the contact audio management page 22, where Bluetooth audio switch controls 23 for different contacts are displayed, or as shown in FIG. 2b, bluetooth audio switch controls 24 for different contact categories are displayed in the contact audio management page 22.

For another example, as shown in fig. 3a, when the application management option is selected, the lower part of the bluetooth audio management interface is switched to an application audio management page 30, and a bluetooth audio switch control 31 of a different application is displayed in the page; as shown in fig. 4, when the scene management option is selected, the lower part of the bluetooth audio management interface is switched to a scene audio management page 40, and bluetooth audio switch controls 41 of different application scenes are displayed in the page; as shown in fig. 5, when the foreground management option is selected, the lower part of the bluetooth audio management interface is switched to a foreground audio management page 50, and a bluetooth audio switch control 51 with different interface display modes is displayed in the page.

After a user sets whether the corresponding object, object category, application scene or each display area is started to output audio through the audio device through the at least two audio switch controls, the audio output mode of the electronic device can be correspondingly controlled according to the on-off state of each audio switch control, namely, the audio output channel of the electronic device is managed. Specifically, under the condition that a certain audio switch control is set to be in an on state, correspondingly playing the audio correspondingly controlled by the audio switch control through the audio equipment, and under the condition that a certain audio switch control is set to be in an off state, correspondingly playing the audio correspondingly controlled by the audio switch control not through the audio equipment but through the electronic equipment.

It should be noted that, in the case that a certain audio frequency conflicts with a setting under different management options, the setting of the management option with a higher priority may be based on the setting of the audio switch control, or based on the closing state of the audio switch control, or based on the setting recently, for example, if the bluetooth audio frequency of a certain contact is in an on state, but the bluetooth audio frequency of a certain scene is in an off state, when the electronic device is in the scene, there is a conflict in the bluetooth audio setting of the contact, and at this time, the setting state of the bluetooth audio frequency of the contact may be based on the priority.

In some embodiments, in the case that the first management option is a contact management option or an application management option, a first management manner option and a second management manner option are displayed on the first audio management page, where the first management manner option is used for performing audio management on different contacts or applications, and the second management manner option is used for performing audio management on different contact categories or application categories.

In one embodiment, the audio management interface may display a contact management option and an application management option, and the audio management page corresponding to the contact management option and the audio management page corresponding to the application management option may both correspond to two management mode options, which are respectively audio management on a single object and audio management on an object class.

Therefore, in the case that the first management option is a contact management option or an application management option, a first management mode option and a second management mode option are displayed on the corresponding audio management page, wherein the first management mode option is used for performing audio management on different objects, such as contacts or applications, and the second management mode option is used for performing audio management on different object categories, such as contact categories or application categories.

For example, as shown in fig. 2a and fig. 2b, two management mode options including a contact and a contact attribution are displayed on an audio management page 22 corresponding to the contact management option, when the contact option is selected, a bluetooth audio switch control 23 of a single contact in the address book is displayed below the audio management page 22, so that whether bluetooth audio is controlled or not can be independently controlled for the contacts already recorded in the address book; when the contact attribution option is selected, a Bluetooth audio switch control 24 of a type of contact in the address book is displayed below the audio management page 22, specifically, whether Bluetooth audio is controlled or not can be classified and managed according to the telephone attribution of big data classification, for example, the Bluetooth audio can be classified into banking, finance and insurance customer service; government, street, and business; ordinary customer service; contact categories such as advertising marketing.

It should be noted that, when a certain contact belongs to a certain contact category, the priority of the audio switch state of the contact may be greater than the priority of the audio switch state of the contact category, that is, the audio switch state of the contact may be subject to audio control.

As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, two management mode options, namely an application list and an application classification, are displayed on the audio management page 30 corresponding to the application management option, and when the application list option is selected, a bluetooth audio switch control 31 of a single application in the address book is displayed below the audio management page 30, so that whether bluetooth audio is controlled or not can be independently controlled according to the application name; when the contact attribution option is selected, a Bluetooth audio switch control 32 of an application type is displayed below the audio management page 30, specifically, bluetooth audio control can be classified and managed according to the application attribution of big data classification, for example, communication, office and work types can be classified; entertainment, video class; music, novels, radio stations; application categories such as games, leisure and the like.

When an application in the application list belongs to a certain class of application, the priority of the audio switch state of a specific application in the application list is higher than the priority of the audio switch state of the application class, namely, the audio switch state that the audio control can be applied to is the priority of the audio switch state of the specific application.

By the implementation, the user can be supported to manage the audio for a single contact person or for a certain contact person, and the audio management mode is further flexible.

In some embodiments, in the case where the first management option is a contact management option or an application management option, the step 103 includes:

outputting the audio associated with the first contact or the first application through the audio equipment under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to the first contact or the first application is in an on state and the audio associated with the first contact or the first application needs to be played;

and outputting the audio associated with the second contact person or the second application program through the electronic equipment under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to the second contact person or the second application program is in a closed state and the audio associated with the second contact person or the second application program needs to be played.

That is, in one embodiment, a user may be supported to manage audio of a specific contact or a specific application, and the user may set whether to start outputting audio through the audio device for different contacts under an audio management page corresponding to a contact management option, or may set whether to start outputting audio through the audio device for different applications under an audio management page corresponding to an application management option.

Thus, the output mode of the audio associated with each contact person can be correspondingly controlled according to the switch state of the audio switch control corresponding to each contact person, or the output mode of the audio associated with each application program can be correspondingly controlled according to the switch state of the audio switch control corresponding to each application program.

Specifically, when a contact or an audio switch control corresponding to an application program is in an on state and the audio associated with the contact or the application program needs to be played, the audio associated with the contact or the application program can be output through the audio equipment. When another contact or the audio switch control corresponding to another application program is in a closed state and the audio associated with the contact or the application program needs to be played, the audio associated with the contact or the application program can be output through the electronic equipment.

With this embodiment, managing audio for a single contact or single application from the contact or application dimension may be achieved.

outputting the audio associated with the first contact category or the first application category through the audio equipment under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to the first contact category or the first application category is in an on state and the audio associated with the first contact category or the first application category needs to be played;

and outputting the audio associated with the second contact person type or the second application type through the electronic equipment under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to the second contact person type or the second application type is in a closed state and the audio associated with the second contact person type or the second application type needs to be played.

In another embodiment, the user can be supported to perform shortcut management on the audio of the contact person or the application program according to the category, and the user can set whether to start outputting the audio through the audio device for different contact persons under the audio management page corresponding to the contact person management option, or can set whether to start outputting the audio through the audio device for different application categories under the audio management page corresponding to the application management option.

Thus, the output mode of the audio associated with each contact person can be correspondingly controlled according to the switch state of the audio switch control corresponding to each contact person, or the output mode of the audio associated with each application program category can be correspondingly controlled according to the switch state of the audio switch control corresponding to each application program category.

Specifically, when an audio switch control corresponding to a certain contact category or a certain application category is in an on state and audio associated with the contact category or the application category needs to be played, the audio associated with the contact category or the application category can be output through the audio equipment. When the audio switch control corresponding to the other contact category or the other application category is in the closed state and the audio associated with the contact category or the application category needs to be played, the audio associated with the contact category or the application category can be output through the electronic equipment.

By the implementation mode, the audio of the contact or the application program can be managed rapidly from the dimension of the contact or the application category.

In some embodiments, in the case that the first management option is a scene management option, the first audio management page includes at least one audio switch control corresponding to an application scene; the step 103 includes:

Outputting the audio of the electronic equipment through the audio equipment under the condition that an audio switch control corresponding to a first scene in the at least one application scene is in an on state and the electronic equipment is in the first scene;

and outputting the audio of the electronic equipment through the electronic equipment under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to a second scene in the at least one application scene is in a closed state and the electronic equipment is in the second scene.

In one embodiment, the audio management interface may display a scene management option, and the audio management page corresponding to the scene management option may be used to manage audio according to the application scene, and may intelligently identify the scene where the electronic device is located to generate the audio switch state under the corresponding scene.

Specifically, in the case that the first management option is a scene management option, at least one audio switch control corresponding to at least one application scene is displayed on the corresponding audio management page, and a user can set whether to start outputting audio through the audio device in each application scene through the audio switch controls.

For example, scenes such as take-out order, driving, home, office, movie theater, etc. may be defined, and as shown in fig. 4, the scene audio management page 40 displays bluetooth audio switch controls 41 corresponding to each application scene, so as to manage bluetooth audio in separate scenes.

After setting the audio switch state in the sub-scene, in order to enable the audio management of the scene to be effective, various information such as a foreground application state, a global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS) positioning, WIFI connection, signal detection, an acceleration sensor and the like can be fused to form an artificial intelligent AI sensing capability, the current scene of the electronic equipment is identified, and when the electronic equipment is judged to be in a certain scene, the electronic equipment is switched to an audio switch mode in the current scene, namely, the audio switch state corresponding to the current scene is applied.

Specifically, under the condition that an audio switch control corresponding to a current scene of the electronic equipment is in an on state, outputting audio in the current scene through the audio equipment; under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to the current scene of the electronic equipment is in the closed state, outputting the audio under the current scene through the electronic equipment rather than the audio equipment.

According to the embodiment, the user can be supported to manage the audio according to scenes, so that corresponding audio switching modes can be applied in actual application by automatically identifying the scenes of the electronic equipment, and the user does not need to manually switch the connection state of the audio equipment.

In some embodiments, in a case where the first management option is a foreground management option, the step 103 includes:

outputting the audio of the application running in the first display area through the audio equipment under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to the first display area of the electronic equipment is in an on state;

and outputting the audio of the application running in the second display area through the electronic equipment under the condition that the audio switch control corresponding to the second display area of the electronic equipment is in the closed state.

In one embodiment, the audio management interface may display a foreground management option, and the audio management page corresponding to the foreground management option may be divided into foreground interface state management audio, so that the audio switch state in the corresponding interface display mode may be generated according to the foreground interface state of the electronic device.

Specifically, when the first management option is a foreground management option, audio switch controls corresponding to different foreground interface display modes are displayed on the corresponding audio management page, and the audio switch controls include part or all of an audio switch control in a split screen mode, an audio switch control in a folding screen mode, an audio switch control in a small window mode and the like; the user can set whether each display area in different display modes is started to output audio through the audio equipment through the audio switch controls.

For example, three options of a split screen mode, a folding screen (including up-down folding, left-right folding) and a small window may be defined, and the upper and lower display areas of the split screen mode, or the upper and lower (or left and right) display areas of the folding screen, or the small window display areas individually control whether bluetooth audio is effective, and when the corresponding screen display area runs an application, the corresponding application validates bluetooth audio. As shown in fig. 5, the foreground audio management page 50 displays bluetooth audio switch controls 51 for each display area corresponding to different display modes, respectively, to manage whether bluetooth audio is controlled in a foreground interface state and a display area.

According to the embodiment, the user can be supported to manage the audio according to the foreground interface state, the audio switch state of each display area in the corresponding mode can be applied through the foreground interface display mode of the electronic equipment, and the audio management mode is further flexible.

In some embodiments, the validation priority of the at least two management options has an association with the display location of the at least two management options; after the step 101, the method further includes:

and updating the display positions of the at least two management options and updating the effective priorities of the at least two management options under the condition that the adjustment input of the at least two management options is received.

In one embodiment, for different management options displayed on the audio management interface, priority sorting can be performed according to the display position sequence of each management option, so as to ensure a controlled mode of taking various audios according to the priority, and avoid that a certain audio cannot take effect due to audio setting conflict under different management options; and the user can be supported to adjust the effective priority among the management options by adjusting the display position relation among the management options in the audio management interface.

Specifically, when the display positions of the management options in the audio management interface are arranged from left to right, the priorities of the management options can be ordered from high to low according to the order of the display positions from left to right, namely, the priority of the management option positioned at the leftmost position is the highest, and the priority of the management option positioned at the rightmost position is the lowest; alternatively, when the display positions of the management options in the audio management interface are arranged from top to bottom, the priorities of the management options may be ordered from top to bottom according to the order of the display positions, that is, the priority of the management option located at the top is highest, and the priority of the management option located at the bottom is lowest.

Taking an example that the audio management interface comprises a contact management option, an application management option, a scene management option and a foreground management option, the default display position is sequentially from left to right, namely the priority of the default contact management option is highest, the priority of the application management option is next highest, the priority of the scene management option is third, and the priority of the foreground management option is lowest.

In practical application, the user can adjust the priority among the management options according to the actual requirement, specifically, the display position of the management options can be adjusted by dragging after the management options are pressed for a long time, so as to realize the priority adjustment of the management options. For example, when a user uses a certain application at home, it may be decided whether to take effect of audio setting according to a controlled manner configured in application management or according to a controlled manner in scene management, according to display position ranks of application management options and scene management options; if a certain application configures and closes Bluetooth in application management, and opens Bluetooth in a home scene, if the user wants to use Bluetooth for the application in the home scene at this time, but the priority of scene management is lower than that of application management at this time, the user can manually adjust the display position between the scene management options and the application management options so as to adjust the priority of scene management to be higher than that of application management. As shown in fig. 6, the user may drag the scene management option after pressing the scene management option 61 for a long time to exchange the position with the application management option 62, so that the display position of the scene management option 61 is located before the application management option 62, thereby realizing adjustment of the priority of the scene management to be greater than the priority of the application management.

According to the embodiment, the priority can be adjusted by adjusting the display positions among different management options, the requirement of the user on adjusting the priority among the management options is met, and the adjustment operation is very simple.

In some embodiments, the first audio management page includes a first control area, where the first control area is a control area corresponding to one object, one object class, one application scenario, or at least one display area, and after step 102, the method further includes at least one of the following:

under the condition that a first touch input to the first control area is received, adjusting the volume of audio corresponding to the first control area;

displaying a sound channel switch control corresponding to the first control area under the condition that a second touch input to the first control area is received; the on-off state of the channel on-off control is used for controlling whether the corresponding channel outputs audio or not.

In one embodiment, the user may also be supported to control the volume and channel of audio corresponding to a single object, object class, application scene or display area through a control area on the audio management page. For example, the control area where the audio switch control in the audio management page corresponding to each management option is located may be designed to have a volume adjusting function and a channel control function, so as to support the user to adjust the volume and the output channel of the corresponding audio through different touch modes of the audio switch control.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the control area where each audio switch control displayed in the first audio management page is located may support a separate sliding control for controlling the volume of the corresponding audio, for example, as shown in fig. 7, the user may control the volume of the audio in the "take out order" scene by sliding left and right on the control area where the bluetooth audio switch control 70 corresponding to the "take out order" scene is located.

In still other embodiments, each audio switch control displayed in the first audio management page may support left and right edge dragging, and the channel switch control corresponding to audio is displayed from the dragged edge, for example, as shown in fig. 8, the user may drag right from the left edge of the control area where the bluetooth audio switch control 81 corresponding to "micro×" application is located, display the left channel switch 83, and the user may control to turn on and off the bluetooth audio of the left channel by turning on and off Zuo Shengdao; for another example, the user may drag left from the right edge of the control area where the "pin×" application corresponding bluetooth audio switch control 82 is located, display the right channel switch 84, and the user may control to turn on and off the "pin×" application right channel bluetooth audio by turning on and off the right channel. The user can press the left and right edges of the control area where the Bluetooth audio switch control is located and drag the control area to the other side to display the left and right ear switches, so that whether the left and right channels take Bluetooth audio is independently controlled by the audio switch control.

According to the embodiment, the user can be supported to independently adjust the volume and the left and right channels of the corresponding audio through the touch input of the control area, the management mode of the audio is enriched, the operation is simple and convenient, and the user only needs to uniformly operate and adjust on the audio management interface.

and under the condition that the third touch input to the total volume control bar is received, updating the display state of the total volume control bar, and adjusting the volume output size of the audio according to the updated volume value indicated by the total volume control bar.

In one embodiment, a function of managing the audio output mode of all the entries by one key may be added to the first audio management page, so as to implement the quick one-key management of audio.

Specifically, the audio management page corresponding to each management option may further include a second control area, where in some embodiments, the second control area may include a total audio switch through which a user may set a one-button on or off audio switch control under the page. For example, as shown in fig. 2a to 8, all switch controls 25 are displayed on each audio management page, a user can uniformly switch all item states under the audio management page through the all switch controls 25, and specific items can individually switch the switch states through the switch controls; when the user turns on the all switch controls 25, all bluetooth audio switch controls under the audio management page may be in an on state, or other bluetooth audio switch controls under the audio management page may be in an on state except for the bluetooth audio switch controls set by the user in the audio management page individually; when the user turns off the "all" switch controls 25, all bluetooth audio switch controls under the audio management page may be in an off state, or other bluetooth audio switch controls under the audio management page may be in an off state except for bluetooth audio switch controls that have been set by the user alone in the audio management page. That is, each bluetooth audio switch control may have a higher priority than the "all" switch control 25, and each bluetooth audio switch control may be in its individually set switch state.

In still other embodiments, the second control area includes a total volume control bar, which may be in a 50% volume state by default, for example, the current audio volume may be presented in a base color progress bar.
