detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without departing from the inventive scope are the scope of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a flow chart of a method for controlling volume in the applicant. When the terminal device does not receive an operation command of the user within the first preset time, the method may include the following steps:

Step 101: The terminal device acquires a sound of a current external environment of a preset duration.

The terminal device acquires a sound of a current external environment that is periodically acquired by the other device according to a preset time period that is periodically acquired according to the second preset time.

Specifically, when the terminal device does not receive the operation command of the user within the first preset time, the user does not use the terminal device in the current period of time, that is, the current terminal device is in the sleep state. In the standby state, and the environment in which the user is located may change with the environment in which the user is located, for example, the noise of the environment in which the user is currently located becomes large. If the terminal device receives the message at this time, the user is in the standby state. The decibel of the sound set in the previous environment may make the user unable to hear, or the noise of the environment in which the user is currently located becomes small, or the environment in which the user is located is a place where the sound decibel is prohibited from being too high, then the said The decibel of the sound set by the user in the previous environment may be too large compared to the current environment. If the terminal device receives the message at this time, it may affect other people, or suddenly make a loud sound to attract the attention of others. Make the user very embarrassed.

Therefore, at this time, the terminal device needs to acquire the sound of the current external environment with a preset duration (for example, 3 seconds, and the specific preset duration can be set as needed), so that the terminal device adjusts the current terminal device message according to the sound. The volume of the reminder can be obtained by the sound acquisition device of the current external environment, such as a recording device, or can be obtained by a third-party device, such as configuring a sound collector for the terminal device. After the sound collector acquires the sound of the current external environment of the preset duration, the sound is sent to the terminal device, and the purpose of the application is to obtain the sound of the current external environment, so all methods for acquiring the sound of the current external environment belong to the present invention. The scope of protection for the application.

The first preset time is a duration of the terminal device to the terminal device to start acquiring the sound of the current external environment after the user stops operating.

When the terminal device obtains the sound of the current external environment of the preset duration, the terminal device may obtain the sound according to the second preset time. After the user does not operate the terminal device for a long time and the time exceeds the first preset time, The terminal device periodically acquires the sound of the current external environment of the preset duration according to the second preset time, that is, after the sound of the current external environment of the preset duration is acquired for the second preset time. The duration of the current external environment of the preset duration is once again obtained. Further, each time the terminal device passes a second preset time, the sound of the current external environment of the preset duration is acquired. The duration of the second preset time may be set according to actual needs, such as: 2 minutes.

Step 102: The terminal device determines a decibel of the sound according to a level of the sound volume.

Specifically, the level of the sound volume is determined by the size of the decibel, and by determining the decibel of the sound, it can be determined whether the current environment of the user is noisy or relatively quiet. The base device can be adjusted to provide a basis for adjusting the volume of the message alert sound. The purpose of the present application is to determine the decibel of the sound, and any method of determining the sound decibel after the sound is acquired is within the scope of protection of the present application.

Step 103: The terminal device adjusts, according to a decibel of the sound, a volume of a message reminding sound volume of the current terminal device by using a preset sound adjustment manner.

The size of the adjustment message reminder sound volume may include the following two types:

The first type: the terminal device adjusts the decibel number of the message reminding sound of the current terminal device to be greater than the decibel number preset by the sound according to the decibel of the sound.

After the terminal device determines the decibel of the sound, the terminal device may adjust the decibel of the sound according to the decibel adjustment message of the sound. Specifically, the decibel of the sound of the message reminder may be adjusted to be high when adjusting. In the sound of a certain volume of the sound, the certain volume is a preset decibel number, for example, if the preset decibel number is 4, and the sound has a decibel of 5, then the terminal device message may be The decibel of the reminder sound is adjusted to 9, so that the sound is not affected by the excessive sound, and there is a sound that allows the user to hear the message. The preset decibel number can be determined according to actual needs.

a second type: the terminal device determines, according to a decibel of the sound, a preset decibel interval in which the sound is located;

Specifically, the highest decibel and the lowest decibel of the terminal device message alert sound may be determined, and the decibel interval of the terminal device message alert sound is divided into a plurality of decibel intervals according to actual needs, and the plurality of decibels are The interval respectively determines a corresponding sound decibel, wherein the determined sound decibel is greater than the maximum value in the decibel interval, and the determined corresponding sound decibel can be set according to actual needs, and the decibel of the sound is determined at the terminal device. Determining the decibel interval in which the decibel of the sound is located, and determining the sound decibel corresponding to the decibel interval in which the decibel of the sound is located as the sound decibel of the terminal device message reminder, so that the decibel according to the sound may be The interval in which the terminal device directly determines the size of the message reminder sound of the terminal device, so that the sound is too high to affect the surrounding people, and the user can hear the message reminder The sound, and no additional calculations are required. The method for dividing the decibel interval of the terminal device message reminding sound may be determined according to actual conditions.

The purpose of the present application is to automatically adjust the sound of the message reminder according to the decibel of the sound of the current surrounding environment, and therefore all methods of adjusting the sound are within the protection scope of the present application.

The sound of the message reminder includes continuous message reminder sounds, such as: the ringing of the incoming call or the sound of the music, and may also include a one-time, continuous or intermittent multiple message reminder sound, such as: a short message reminder sound , or a reminder sound of information from other communication software.

The method further includes:

When the decibel of the sound exceeds the maximum value of the decibel interval of the terminal device message reminding sound, it indicates that the current environment is very noisy, even if the decibel of the message reminding sound is adjusted to a maximum value which is still smaller than the sound of the current environment, at the terminal When the device receives the message, the user may still be unable to hear the message reminder. Therefore, other message reminding functions need to be added at this time, among which other message reminding functions are different from the sound reminding function, such as: touch reminding function (such as :Vibration), through two kinds of reminding methods, the high user can be greatly informed of the probability that the terminal device receives the message, and of course, the reminding function of other modes besides the sound reminding function can be started, and several message reminders are specifically activated. The function and startup mode (simultaneous startup or startup one by one, etc.) can be determined according to the actual situation.

Among other things, other message reminding functions can also be other functions except the touch reminding function, such as: visual reminding function (such as photoelectric effect in the terminal device), and any message reminding function different from the sound belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

The decibel of the sound is lower than the minimum decibel interval of the terminal device message alert sound The value indicates that the current environment is very quiet. At this time, the environment in which the user is located is a place that needs to be kept quiet, such as a library, an office, etc. If a message arrives at this time, the terminal device emits the lowest sound of the device. It may disturb other people. Therefore, the terminal device can be adjusted to other functions different from the sound reminding function, such as the tactile reminding function, and of course, other functions, which can remind the user that the terminal device receives the message. The function of the reminder that does not affect other users is within the scope of this application.

After the terminal device adjusts the message reminder sound according to the sound, the terminal device deletes the acquired sound.

The application determines the decibel of the sound according to the obtained sound of the current external environment of the preset duration, and adjusts the volume of the message reminder sound of the current terminal device according to the decibel of the sound according to the preset sound adjustment manner, thereby The terminal device can automatically adjust the size of the current message reminding sound according to the current environment, so that the user can receive the message in time, and at the same time ensure that the surrounding crowd is not interfered.

In order to further illustrate the technical idea of the present application, the technical solution of the present application will be described in conjunction with a specific application scenario. Specifically, the terminal device uses a mobile phone as an example, and the message reminder takes a ringtone as an example.

The mobile phone determines whether the mobile phone is currently in a sleep standby state (ie, a black screen state), and if the mobile phone is in a sleep standby state and the mobile phone is in the state for more than a certain period of time (eg, 10 minutes), the mobile phone is at a certain time ( For example: 2 minutes) will open its own recording function to get the sound of the current environment, and record for 3 seconds, the mobile phone determines the decibel of the acquired sound, when the decibel of the sound is greater than the maximum volume that can be achieved by the ringtone of the mobile phone The mobile phone turns on the vibration reminding function; if the sound has a decibel smaller than the minimum volume reached by the mobile phone ringtone, the mobile phone turns off the ringtone reminding function, and turns on the vibration reminding function, when the sound decibel is in the mobile phone The mobile phone determines a decibel interval in which the decibel of the sound is located, and determines a sound decibel corresponding to the decibel interval as a volume of the ringtone, for example: when The range of volume that can be achieved by ringtones (10dB-90dB) is divided into the following decibel intervals: decibels greater than 10dB and less than 50dB (decibels) Bit), the decibel is greater than 50dB and less than 70dB, the decibel is greater than 70dB and less than 90dB, and the volume of each decibel interval is: 60dB, 80dB and 100dB, when the interval corresponding to the decibel of the sound is greater than 50dB and less than 70dB, The mobile phone determines 80dB as the size of the current ringtone. After the mobile phone acquires the sound of the current environment again, the mobile phone adjusts the size of the ringtone of the mobile phone again according to the decibel of the sound.
