Through the above steps, the user can conveniently use the media file to prevent the user from performing the playback operation when the media file needs to be played.

Alternatively, a status value can be set for the headset: T, T = "0" means the headset is off the ear; T = "1" means the headset is in the ear.

For example, the detection module can be separately added to the two earplugs of the earphone, and each earplug detection module has a variable: Tr (right earplug) and T1 (left earplug). According to the detection module feedback Tr and Tl values, if and when Tr = 0 and Tl = 0, and more than 30 seconds (time can be set), indicating that the user is in a state of not wearing headphones. As long as any value of Tr or Tl is not "0", it means that the user is wearing the headset.

Optionally, the variable T may be the distance between the left and right earphones and the human body. At this time, detecting whether the left and right earphones are not worn includes: detecting the distance between the left and right earphones and the human body; Whether the distance between the two earphones and the human body is less than a predetermined distance, whether the left and right earphones are not worn. Through the above steps, it is convenient to detect whether the earphone is worn.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the detection module added to the earphone may be a human body sensing module. At this time, the distance of the human body sensing module to the human body sensing is set to be=5 cm (the value may be changed according to requirements), if the dis is less than 5 cm. The earphone has been in the ear, that is, T=1; if dis is greater than 5cm, the earphone is determined to be away from the ear, that is, T=0.

Optionally, the variable T may be whether the left and right earphones are in contact with the human body. At this time, detecting whether the left and right earphones are not worn includes: detecting whether the two earphones are not in contact with the human body within a predetermined period of time. In the way, it is detected whether both the left and right earphones are not worn. Through the above steps, it is possible to detect whether the earphone is worn more quickly.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the detecting module added to the earphone may be a capacitive touch module. When the capacitive touch module contacts the ear skin, the earphone is determined to be in the ear, that is, T=1; when the capacitive touch module is separated from the ear skin, the determination is performed. The earphone is off the ear, ie T=0.

Optionally, after the media file is paused, the method further includes: closing the media file if at least one of the left and right earphones is not detected to be worn within the predetermined time period. Through the above steps, it is possible to turn off the media files that the user does not use, and to consume a greater amount of lower necessary power.

The above media file may be a music file, and the following description is made in the scene where the user listens to music with headphones.

5 is a flow chart of controlling a media file during music playback according to an embodiment, as shown in FIG.

Step 502, the user wears the earphone, and the earphone may be a wired earphone or a wireless earphone;

Step 504, the mobile phone plays music;

Step 506, when the mobile phone detects that the values of the variables Tr, Tl of the two earphones of the earphone are all "0", and the time exceeds 30 seconds, that is, the user is determined to be in the state of not wearing the headset, and the process proceeds to step 508; the user is in the state of wearing the earphone, the music Continue to play;

Step 508: After determining that the user is in a state where the headset is not equipped, the mobile phone music is automatically paused and enters a power saving mode;

Step 510, when the mobile phone detects the variables Tr, Tl of the two earphones of the earphone, and the value of any one of the variables is "1", that is, it is determined that the user is in the state of wearing the headset, and the process proceeds to step 504, the user is in the state of not wearing the headset, and the process proceeds to the step. 512;

Step 512; the music continues to be in a tentative state;

It can be seen from the above embodiment that, in the case that the user wears the earphone, based on the earphone detecting whether the user removes the earphone from the ear during the process of listening to music, if the user detects that the user removes the earphone from the ear without manually suspending the playing, the mobile phone will automatically pause the playing. When the user reinserts the headset into the ear, the phone automatically resumes playing. Through the self-energy detection and control, the automatic control of the mobile phone music is achieved, thereby reducing the power consumption of the mobile phone.
