It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters indicate similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it is not required to be further discussed in the subsequent figures.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a wireless earphone device is provided. The device includes a wireless earphone body and a receiving device. In the non-use state, the wireless earphone body is housed in the storage device. The wireless headset body includes a voice module and a first wireless communication module communicatively coupled to the voice module. For example, the wireless headset body includes a left earphone 11 and a right earphone 10. It can be understood that at least one of the left earphone 11 and the right earphone 10 includes a voice module and a first wireless communication module.

The voice module is used to pick up voice or sound. For example, the voice module includes any one of a moving coil microphone, a moving iron microphone, and a MEMS microphone, wherein the MEMS microphone conforms The trend of miniaturization and thinning of electronic equipment. Further, the speech module includes a noise reduction microphone to improve the quality of voice or sound pickup. The first wireless communication module is configured to transmit the sound picked up by the voice module.

As shown in FIG. 1, the storage device includes a second wireless communication module, a network connection module, and a processor 17. The second wireless communication module and the network connection module are both communicatively coupled to the processor 17, for example, a communication connection between the three through the PCB. The first wireless communication module is in communication with the second wireless communication module to receive a voice signal from the wireless headset. The first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module may be, but are not limited to, the Bluetooth module 15 or the infrared module.

The wireless earphone body of the wireless earphone device can be connected to the Internet through a storage device, thereby being capable of listening to audio files using the Internet and remote intelligent control using the Internet.

For example, the user emits a voice signal, such as "My Sun." The voice module picks up the signal and transmits it through the first wireless communication module. The second wireless communication module on the storage device receives the voice signal and transmits it to the processor 17. The processor 17 identifies the voice signal and compares the recognition result with a control command pre-stored in the processor 17, for example, "search for music: my sun", and then compares the result through the network connection module. Send to the wireless network to search. The network connection module may be, but not limited to, a WIFI module 16, a 2G communication module, a 3G communication module, a 4G communication module, or a 5G communication module. For example, the network connection module links to the cloud server and searches for the music "my sun" through the cloud server. Next, the processor 17 reads the music "My Sun" and synchronously transmits it to the first wireless communication module through the second wireless communication module, and then plays through the built-in speaker of the wireless headset body, thereby realizing voice control and intelligent search. The function of playing. In addition, the device can also implement a call function through a 2G communication module, a 3G communication module, or a 4G communication module (for example, an eSIM card is implanted).

For example, the Bluetooth module 15 uses Bluetooth 5.0. Bluetooth 5.0 has the ability to transmit data over long distances. The wireless headset device can serve as an entry point for the Internet of Things. Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 in the storage device, the user can control the device within a certain range (for example, within 50 meters) through the wireless earphone device to realize the function of the Internet of Things. For example, the user issues a voice signal that activates the "front balance car", and the voice module of the wireless headset body picks up the signal and transmits it through the first wireless communication module (eg, Bluetooth 5.0). A second wireless communication module (e.g., Bluetooth 5.0) on the storage device receives the voice signal and transmits it to the processor 17. The processor 17 performs the voice signal Identifying and comparing the recognition result with a control command pre-stored in the processor 17, for example, "starting the electric balance car", and then directly transmitting the comparison result to the second wireless communication module (for example, Bluetooth 5.0) Electric balance car, electric balance car built-in Bluetooth 5.0 to receive control commands. This achieves the start of the electric balance car.

For example, control of a smart home or the like can be realized by the wireless earphone device. For example, the user issues a voice signal that "turns on the air purifier." The voice module picks up the voice signal and transmits it to the second wireless communication module through the first wireless communication module. The second wireless communication module receives the voice signal and transmits it to the processor 17. The processor 17 identifies the speech signal and compares the recognition result with a pre-stored control command, for example, the control command is "turn on the air purifier in the home." Then, the storage device transmits the control command to the Internet through the WIFI module 16. Then, it is transmitted to the smart box in the home through the Internet, and the air purifier is controlled by the smart box, and finally the remote wireless control of turning on the "air purifier" is realized.

For example, the wireless earphone device can also realize the functions of shopping guide and tour guide. For example, the user issues a "buy beverage" request, and the voice module of the wireless headset body picks up the signal and transmits it through the first wireless communication module. The second wireless communication module on the storage device receives the voice signal and transmits it to the processor 17. The processor 17 recognizes the voice signal and compares the recognition result with a control command prestored in the processor 17, for example, "search for a nearby convenience store", and then the storage device controls the control through the WIFI module 16. The command is sent to the Internet for searching. The processor obtains the search result and sends it to the wireless headset body, and tells the user where the nearby convenience store is located through the built-in speaker of the wireless headset body.

In one example, an electronic compass, a barometer, and a six-axis sensor are also disposed within the container. An electronic compass, a barometer, and a six-axis sensor are communicatively coupled to the processor. The above three components can realize the function of inertial navigation. The electronic compass is used to determine the spatial orientation of the user and define the initial point. The barometer is used to detect the air pressure of the user's environment to determine the height of the user's location, for example, the floor on which the user is located. Preferably, a high precision barometer is used to make the height more accurate. A six-axis sensor that detects the user's acceleration and angular acceleration to determine the direction of movement of the user for navigation.

In addition, the wireless headset device also includes a power module 18 for powering the second wireless communication module, the network connection module, and the processor 17. The wireless earphone body is housed in the storage device. To be charged by the power module 18. For example, the power module 18 includes a lithium ion battery that supplies power to the three modules and charges the wireless headphone body through a power management circuit. The power supply of the wireless earphone body has a small capacity and can be charged by the power module 18 on the storage device, thereby improving the battery life of the wireless earphone body. Optionally, the power module 18 further includes a USB interface or a Type-C interface for charging the power module 18.
