detailed description

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

The present invention provides a method for adjusting the volume of a headphone that helps improve the quality of sleep. Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for adjusting the volume of a headphone that helps improve sleep quality according to the present invention. In the first embodiment of the invention, the method for adjusting the volume of the earphone which contributes to improving the quality of sleep comprises the following steps: S10. The respiratory frequency sensor collects the human respiratory frequency and converts it into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control unit; S20, the control unit receives and determines whether the size of the electrical signal is lower than the preset value N1, and if so, proceeds to step S31; if not, proceeds to step S32; S31, the control unit turns on the bass mode, reduces the current I received by the earphone sounding unit, thereby reducing the volume of the earphone; S32, the control unit maintains the current I received by the earphone sounding unit unchanged, and the volume of the earphone does not change.

The earphone volume adjustment method for improving sleep quality in the present invention controls the volume of the earphone according to the change of the physiological state (awake state and sleep state) of the user, specifically, the respiratory frequency sensor first collects the human respiratory frequency, and Converting it into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the control unit, the control unit receives the electrical signal, and determines whether the size of the electrical signal is lower than the preset value N1 of the control unit, if the electrical signal sent by the respiratory frequency sensor to the control unit is lower than The preset value N1 of the control unit indicates that the user has gradually changed from the awake state to the sleep state, and the control unit turns on the bass mode, and reduces the current I received by the earphone sounding unit according to the size of the electrical signal, thereby reducing the volume of the earphone; The electric signal sent by the respiratory frequency sensor to the control unit is higher than the preset value N1 of the control unit, indicating that the user is still in the awake state, and the control unit maintains the current I received by the earphone sounding unit unchanged, and the volume of the earphone does not change.

The invention adjusts the volume of the earphone according to the breathing frequency of the human body. When the user is in the awake state, the breathing frequency is relatively high. Generally, the breathing frequency of the healthy adult is awake about 20 times per minute, and the breathing frequency is generally 12 in the sleeping state. -18 times per minute, set the value of the electrical signal output by the respiratory frequency sensor to Rn. If the respiratory frequency sensor receives the respiratory frequency 18 times per minute, the converted electrical signal value is R1, and the preset value of the control unit can be The size of N1 is set to be the same as that of R1. When Rn is less than N1, it indicates that the user has entered the sleep state, the control unit turns on the sleep mode, and reduces the current I received by the earphone sounding unit, thereby reducing the volume of the earphone; when Rn is greater than N1 When the user is in the awake state, the control unit maintains the current I received by the earphone sounding unit unchanged, and the volume of the earphone does not change. The invention can help the user to quickly enter a deep sleep state and obtain better sleep quality, and is very convenient to use.

Based on the first embodiment of the foregoing method for adjusting the volume of the earphone in the present invention, the present invention further provides a second embodiment of the method for adjusting the volume of the earphone that contributes to improving the quality of sleep. As shown, after the step S31, the health management-based headset volume control method further includes the following steps: S40. The control unit further determines whether the electrical signal size is lower than the preset value N2. If yes, go to step S41; if no, go to step S32; S41: the control unit adjusts the current I to the earphone sounding unit to zero. ; The above N2 < N1.

In this embodiment, on the basis of the first embodiment, the control unit further receives and determines whether the magnitude of the electrical signal output by the respiratory frequency sensor is lower than a preset value N2, and if so, the control unit transmits the current I to the earphone sounding unit. Adjust to zero, that is, turn off the headphone sound, to prevent music from disturbing the user's sleep; if not, the control unit maintains the current I received by the headphone sounding unit unchanged, the headphone volume does not change, and continues to maintain a lower volume for playback.

Healthy adults have a low respiratory rate in deep sleep state, and the value of the electrical signal output by the respiratory frequency sensor is set to Rn. If the respiratory frequency sensor receives the respiratory frequency sixty times per minute, the converted electrical signal value is R2. The preset value N2 of the control unit is set to be the same as R2. When Rn is smaller than N2, it indicates that the user has entered the deep sleep state, and the control unit adjusts the current I to the earphone sounding unit to zero, thereby turning the volume of the earphone. The adjustment is zero, the playback of the earphone is turned off; when Rn is greater than N2, the user does not enter deep sleep, and the control unit maintains the current I received by the earphone sounding unit unchanged, and the volume of the earphone does not change. The invention can turn off the headphone volume after the user enters the depth state, obtain better sleep quality, and is very convenient to use.

Based on the first embodiment of the foregoing method for adjusting the volume of the earphone in the present invention, the present invention further provides a third embodiment of the method for adjusting the volume of the earphone that contributes to improving the quality of sleep.
