Description

Function using method and device, terminal

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method, device, and terminal for using a function.

Background technique

At present, major mobile phone manufacturers are conducting research and development on mobile audio, and have been equipped with high-fidelity (HiFi) for mobile phones, so that more and more consumers are using HiFi chips to decode audio. Since the speaker and the headphone channel are separated from each other on the mobile phone, an architecture that uses an advanced decoding chip to drive the speaker for playback may occur. In this case, the HiFi phone will automatically decode using the HiFi chip when playing audio, even if the audio played is not high-quality audio, or the speaker is not inserted into the earphone.

When playing bass music, because a lot of audio itself has a loss of sound quality, even if you use HiFi decoding chip, you can't play good sound. At the same time, the current mobile phone speaker can't interpret the high-quality audio output by HiFi chip. The problem with this is that although the HiFi chip is used for decoding, due to the "barrel principle", high-quality audio output is still not available. In addition, the HiFi function is turned on, which causes a rapid increase in power consumption, and now the battery power in the mobile phone is difficult. Rapid growth, so the reasonable use of HiFi function can greatly enhance the battery life.

In the embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a terminal, comprising the function using device according to any of the above.

In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions are described in detail below in conjunction with the preferred embodiments:

The apparatus provided by the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a judging module (corresponding to the monitoring module 20 of the above embodiment) and an intelligent switching module. The judgment module monitors two aspects, namely, the state in which the earphone is inserted, and the quality of the audio file is high or low. The judging module completes the judgment of whether to use the HiFi function, and the intelligent switching module completes the switching between the HiFi function and the ordinary audio playing function, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the mobile phone without losing the sound quality.

4 is a flow chart of a method for using a function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the specific steps are as follows:

Step S402: determining whether the earphone is inserted, if yes, proceeding to step S404, if not, proceeding to step S406;

Step S404: determining whether the file to be played by the terminal is a high-quality file, if yes, proceeding to step S408, if not, proceeding to step S406;

Step S406: Turn off the HiFi function.

Step S408: Play using the HiFi function.

The decoding chip and op amp used in the HiFi mobile phone on the market are basically the combination of ESS9018K2M and OPA1612. Even if the ESS9018K2M chip is a mobile version, the power consumption has been reduced, but the quiescent current of the OPA1612 reaches 3.6mA/channel. It will have a huge impact on battery life in mobile phones. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably select the timing of using HiFi, so that it can not only improve the sound quality, but also waste the power. However, with the technical solution provided by the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the HiFi function can be reasonably used to avoid Unnecessary power consumption is wasted.

After the phone starts using the audio playback function, the following process is performed:

1) The mobile phone judges whether the earphone jack has a headphone connector through the judgment module, and outputs a “1” signal if yes, and outputs a “0” signal if not;

At the same time, another judgment module monitors the output audio file. It should be noted that all audio files now have two basic attributes: sampling accuracy and sampling frequency. Generally speaking, 24 bits in 24bit/192kHz audio is sampling accuracy, 192kHz. That is, for its sampling frequency, the sampling precision of different audio files may be the same or different. WAV (WAVE is the standard WINDOWS file format used for recording, file extension "WAV"), APE (lossless compression format), lossless audio compression code (Free Lossless Audio Codec, FLAC for short), MP3, ( Windows Media Audio (WMA for short) and so on. Almost all common audio is Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM, now the most common audio encoding format) encoding format, the basic properties of the format Variety, sampling accuracy is 16bit, 20bit, 24bit and other styles (excluding 1bit), sampling frequency is also 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz and other styles; direct bitstream digital (Direct Stream Digital, referred to as DSD, Sony and Philips In 1996, the high-resolution digital audio specification of the co-developed high-resolution digital audio format format audio was inevitably 1 bit, but the sampling frequency of the format audio file was extremely high, generally 2.4 MHz. In addition to this, the bit rate is also an important indicator of audio quality, in kbps. The higher these values, the higher the sound quality of the audio. Therefore, the audio file can be determined to be a PCM format or a DSD format by monitoring the audio file bit rate, the sampling precision, and the sampling frequency. When the sampling accuracy of the audio file is 1 bit, the DSD format file is determined. If the sampling precision is not 1 bit. Judged as a PCM format file. After the judgment is completed, if it is in PCM format, its attributes are compared. The default threshold is 16bit, 44.1kHz, 1000kbps (probably the sound quality of the CD player, which can be modified by the user). When at least two audio file attributes exceed this threshold, the output is output. "1" signal, otherwise output "0" signal; because the DSD format is a new mature high-quality indicator audio format, the generally visible DSD format audio files are high-quality files, so if it is judged as a DSD file, it directly outputs "1" "signal.

The two judgment device output signals are input to the switching module for processing, and the HiFi function is turned on only when both output signals are "1"; in other cases, the HiFi module is turned off, and the ordinary decoding chip is used to output audio, of course, the above two The judgment criterion is only used as an example of the condition of the judgment. If the external playback of the terminal can play the high sound quality condition, it is not necessary to judge whether the terminal is inserted into the earphone, that is, in the current technical situation, the high sound quality cannot be output due to consideration of the sound cavity of the mobile phone and the speaker. The audio, so this judgment is needed. After the technical innovation, if the speaker function can output high-quality audio, this step can be removed; other judgments can be added due to technological innovation.

2) When the customer inserts the headset and turns on the high-quality audio file, the process will judge and turn on the HiFi function to perform high-quality decoding and output high-quality audio. When the customer needs to use the speaker to release the sound, or play some low-quality files. (In these cases, the sound quality output by using the HiFi chip and the ordinary chip is almost the same, the system will automatically turn off the HiFi function, enable the ordinary decoding chip, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a hardware structure diagram of a terminal is also provided, and FIG. 5 is a structural diagram of a terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, based on the hardware structure diagram provided in FIG. The sound quality source is from the main chip to the digital to analog converter (DAC), and then output to the earphone. If the non-high quality sound source is output directly from the CODEC (codec) to the earphone.

By adopting the above technical solution provided by the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the HiFi function can be switched intelligently and reasonably, enabled when needed, and turned off when not needed, thereby reducing power consumption and enhancing endurance for the customer's mobile phone.

In summary, the embodiment of the present invention achieves the following technical effects: the problem that the terminal cannot reasonably use the HiFi function in the related art is solved, and the HiFi function can be reasonably used, and unnecessary power consumption of the terminal is avoided, and the battery is increased.
