- This application provides a method for detecting the wearing position of an earphone 1.
- This method can be performed by the earphone 1 itself or by an electronic device communicating with the earphone 1.
- the electronic device can be a mobile phone, tablet, or computer; this application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.
- the ear hook 200 can bypass the user's auricle E17, the sound-emitting part 100 and the abutment part 300 form a clamping state on both sides of the user's auricle E17, and the sound-emitting part 100 is located within the concha E12.
- the sound-emitting part 100 is a sound playback device used to convert electrical signals into sound signals and play them to the wearer.
- the abutment part 300 forms a clamping state with the sound-emitting part 100 to clamp the entire earphone 1 onto the user's ear.
- a detection module and a storage module may be provided within the abutment part 300.
- the detection module is used to obtain the wearing position of the earphone, which includes the left and right ears.
- the storage module is used to store wearing position indications, which indicate whether the earphone is worn in the left or right ear.
- the detection module and the storage module may be disposed within the sound-emitting part 100, or one of the detection module and the storage module may be disposed within the sound-emitting part 100 and the other within the abutting part 300.
- the abutting part 300 may contain devices such as a battery or a circuit board.
- the abutting part 300 may also not contain a battery, but the battery may be installed in the sound-emitting part 100. This is within the scope easily understood by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.
- the ear hook 200 has a symmetrical surface A1 arranged along its length.
- the symmetrical surface A1 of the ear hook 200 refers to the portion of the ear hook 200 arranged along its length, where the difference between the two sides of the symmetrical surface A1 is minimal or identical. That is, if the ear hook 200 is regularly symmetrical, then the portions of the ear hook 200 on both sides of the symmetrical surface A1 are identical; if the ear hook 200 is not strictly symmetrical, then the difference between the two sides of the symmetrical surface A1 should be minimal among various division methods. For example, the magnitude of the difference can be distinguished by observing the projection of the ear hook 200 on a plane perpendicular to the symmetrical surface A1.
- the symmetrical surface A1 can be substantially parallel to the horizontal plane. It should be noted that the "substantially parallel” described in this application allows for an error range of ⁇ 15°. It is easy to understand that during user use, the headphones may slide under their own gravity, causing the symmetrical surface A1 to deviate from the horizontal plane.
- the earphone 1 can be other types of earphones that support wearing in both the left and right ears. It is easy to understand that the ear clip-on earphone shown in Figure 1 is merely an example and should not be construed as a limitation on the solution of this application.
- Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the detection method provided in this application.
- the detection method may include the following steps:
- the detection module obtains a pre-judgment result to characterize the wearing position of the headphones.
- Each detection cycle generates a pre-judgment result.
- the detection cycle can be between 50ms and 10s.
- the detection cycles could be 50ms, 100ms, 300ms, 500ms, 1s, 3s, 5s, and 10s.
- the detection module detects the wearing position of the earphones and outputs a pre-judgment result characterizing whether the earphones are worn in the left or right ear.
- the detection module may include an acceleration sensor, in which case S100 may be implemented through the following steps:
- S101 Obtain a pre-judgment result characterizing the wearing position of the headphones based on at least one set of acceleration values detected by the accelerometer within a predetermined detection cycle.
- the accelerometer has a built-in spatial coordinate system, including the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis.
- the X-axis and Y-axis can both be substantially parallel to the plane of symmetry A1, and the Z-axis can be substantially perpendicular to the plane of symmetry A1. It should be noted that the terms “substantially parallel” and “substantially perpendicular” described in this application allow for an error range of ⁇ 15°.
- the accelerometer can detect the acceleration components of the headphones in the X, Y, and Z axis directions.
- only one set of acceleration values may be acquired in each detection cycle, and a preliminary judgment result may be obtained based on this set of acceleration values.
- multiple sets of acceleration values may be acquired in each detection cycle, and a preliminary judgment result may be obtained based on multiple sets of acceleration values, which helps to improve the accuracy of wearing position detection.
- each set of acceleration values may include only the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction. That is, the pre-judgment result can be obtained using only the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction.
- the sign of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction can reflect the wearing position of the headphones to some extent.
- the headphones when the headphones are in a relatively ideal wearing state, the user's head does not move vertically and the user's head is basically upright. Since the specified coordinate axis Z-axis is basically perpendicular to the plane of symmetry A1, and the plane of symmetry A1 is basically parallel to the horizontal plane when the headphones are worn, the angle between the gravitational acceleration and the Z-axis is relatively small. This makes the absolute value of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction correlate with the value of the gravitational acceleration, so that the absolute value of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction is within the preset threshold range.
- the absolute value of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction when the absolute value of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction is within a preset threshold range, it can be assumed that the head does not move vertically and is essentially upright.
- the sign of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction can effectively characterize the wearing position. For example, assuming the Z-axis is upward when the headphones are worn in the left ear and downward when worn in the right ear, a positive acceleration component in the Z-axis direction indicates the headphones are worn in the right ear, and a negative acceleration component indicates the headphones are worn in the left ear. Similarly, assuming the Z-axis is downward when the headphones are worn in the left ear...
- the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction is positive, it means the earphone is worn in the left ear; if the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction is negative, it means the earphone is worn in the right ear.
- the absolute value of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction is not within the preset threshold range, it indicates that the head may be moving up and down, or the head may be tilted, such as when the user is lying flat or half-lying down. In this case, the positive or negative value of the acceleration component in the Z-axis direction cannot effectively represent the wearing position of the headphones.
- each set of acceleration values may include acceleration components in the X-axis direction, acceleration components in the Y-axis direction, and acceleration components in the Z-axis direction to improve the accuracy of the pre-judgment results. This is within the scope easily understood by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.
- S101 may be implemented by including the following steps:
- S1011 Input at least one set of acceleration values obtained in each detection cycle into the trained neural network model to obtain a pre-judgment result.
- a calibrated training set can be used to train the neural network model.
- the training set can include multiple sets of acceleration values, each set including acceleration components along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis.
- at least one set of acceleration values can be acquired and input into the trained neural network model to obtain a pre-judgment result.
- only one set of acceleration values can be acquired in each detection cycle. This set of acceleration values is then input into a trained neural network model, which performs operations such as convolution and pooling to generate a pre-judgment result. In some embodiments, multiple sets of acceleration values can be acquired in each detection cycle and input into the trained neural network model. Increasing the amount of input data helps improve the accuracy of the pre-judgment result, thereby improving the accuracy of the wearing position detection.
- the pre-judgment result can be set to represent the left ear; when at least one acceleration value acquired within the detection period can determine that the earphone is worn in the right ear, the pre-judgment result can be set to represent the right ear; when at least one acceleration value acquired within the detection period cannot determine the earphone's wearing position, the pre-judgment result can be set to represent an unknown state.
- the pre-judgment result is set to represent either the left or right ear, it is considered valid, i.e., in an effective state; when the pre-judgment result is set to represent an unknown state, it is considered invalid, i.e., in an invalid state.
- the detection module may further include a gyroscope, which can reset the pre-judgment result when the pre-judgment result is unknown.
- S100 may further include:
- S102 Determine whether the pre-judgment result is in a valid state, wherein the valid state is used to indicate whether the earphone is worn in the left or right ear.
- the pre-judgment result is reset based on the angular velocity value detected by the gyroscope when the user performs the preset head movement.
- a gyroscope can share the same spatial coordinate system as an accelerometer to detect the angular velocity components of the headphones rotating around the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis.
- the preset head movements can include tilting the head to the left shoulder, tilting the head to the right shoulder, turning the head to the left, turning the head to the right, raising the head upward, or lowering the head downward. This application does not limit these movements, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.
- a voice prompt can be sent to the user to remind the user to perform a preset head action.
- other forms of prompts can also be sent to the user to make the user perform the preset head action. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.
- the X-axis points upwards
- the X-axis points to the right
- the Y-axis points backwards when the earphone is worn in the left ear
- the Z-axis points downwards
- the X-axis points to the left
- the Y-axis points backwards when the earphone is worn in the right ear.
- the preset head movement is turning the head to the right
- the angular velocity of the rotation around the Z-axis detected by the gyroscope is positive, it indicates that the earphone is worn in the left ear, and the pre-judgment result can be reset to indicate the left ear.
- the preset head movement is turning the head to the right, and the angular velocity of the rotation around the Z-axis detected by the gyroscope is negative, it indicates that the earphone is worn in the right ear, and the pre-judgment result can be reset to indicate the right ear.
- the gyroscope when a user performs a preset head movement, can also determine the wearing position of the headphones by the angular velocity components of the rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes. Compared with the above embodiments, which determine the wearing position of the headphones by the rotation of a single axis, the accuracy can be further improved by using the angular velocity components of the three axes. This is within the scope of what those skilled in the art can easily understand, and will not be elaborated here.
- the pre-judgment result when the pre-judgment result is invalid, the pre-judgment result is reset based on the angular velocity value detected by the gyroscope when the user performs a preset head movement. This helps to improve the effectiveness of the pre-judgment result and thus improve the accuracy of the wearing position detection.
- the antenna structure of the headphones is configured to differ depending on whether they are worn on the left or right ear.
- antenna radiation performance is typically directional, and the headphones may be designed with radiation performance optimized for the left ear.
- communication performance parameters such as the RSSI value (Received Signal Strength Indication) will be better when the headphones are worn on the left ear than when they are worn on the right ear.
- the detection module can be used to detect the headphones' communication performance parameters to obtain a pre-judgment result characterizing the wearing position of the headphones.
- the headphone's speaker can emit ultrasonic waves.
- the detection module can be used to detect the difference in the ultrasonic waves received by the headphone's microphone, thereby obtaining a pre-judgment result characterizing the headphone's wearing position.
- the wearing position indication is updated in real time based on the comparison between the pre-judgment result and the current wearing position indication of the headphones, where the pre-judgment result and the wearing position indication are used to indicate whether the headphones are worn in the left or right ear.
- S200 may be implemented by including the following steps:
- a predetermined number of consecutive detection cycles could refer to five consecutive detection cycles
- a preset number threshold could be three. Assuming the current wearing position indicator represents the left ear, if the pre-judgment result for three or more of the five consecutive detection cycles is the right ear, then the wearing position indicator will be updated from left ear to right ear. If the pre-judgment result for only one or two of the five consecutive detection cycles is the right ear, or if the pre-judgment result for all five consecutive detection cycles is the left ear, then the wearing position indicator will not be updated.
- the method of weighting the pre-judgment results of multiple consecutive detection cycles is used to determine whether to update the wearing position indication, which helps to improve the accuracy of wearing position detection.
- S200 can be implemented by including the following steps:
- the "preset counting threshold" can be three.
- the current wearing position indicator represents the wearing position as the left ear.
- the pre-judgment result is the right ear
- counting begins and the count value is set to 1. If the pre-judgment result of the next detection cycle is the right ear, the count value is set to 2. If the pre-judgment result of the next detection cycle is the right ear, the count value is set to 3. At this point, if the count value of the right ear appears three times consecutively, the wearing position indicator is updated from the left ear to the right ear, and the count value is reset to 0.
- the "preset counting threshold" can be three. Assuming the current wearing position indicator is the left ear, when the pre-judgment result is the right ear, counting begins and the count value is set to 1. If the pre-judgment result of the next detection cycle is the left ear, the count value is reset to 0, and the wearing position indicator remains unchanged.
- the wearing position indication is updated, which helps to improve the accuracy of wearing position detection.
- the solution presented in this application differs from related technologies in that, when the earphone is in a wearing state, the wearing position of the earphone is periodically detected at a predetermined detection cycle, and the wearing position indication stored in the earphone is updated in real time.
- this approach helps to reduce the risk of false detection and improve the accuracy of wearing position detection.
- the detection method described in this application can be executed periodically within a preset time period.
- a timer is started, and the detection method described above is executed periodically within a preset time period (for example, the duration of the preset time period can be between 20s and 60s, such as 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s).
- the "real-time update” described in this application refers to the continuous updating of the wearing position indicator within a preset time period.
- the earphone case can set a wearing position indicator for the earphones.
- the wearing position indicator can be updated once based on the pre-judgment result.
- the detection module will continue to obtain the pre-judgment result and continuously update the current wearing position indicator based on the pre-judgment result.
- Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the detection method provided in this application.
- the detection method further includes:
- the detection method described above may also be executed in response to the earphones being removed from the earphone case. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.
- the detection method described above is executed at a higher detection frequency before the preset time threshold, and at a lower detection frequency after the preset time threshold. This helps to reduce device power consumption while ensuring the accuracy of the wearing position detection.
- Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the detection method provided in this application.
- the detection method further includes:
- S300 Adapts the headphones to the corresponding channel's audio signal according to the wearing position indicator, and/or sets the headphone's button functions according to the wearing position indicator.
- the headphones when the wearing position indicator indicates that the headphones are worn in the left ear, the headphones can be adapted to the left channel audio signal; similarly, when the wearing position indicator indicates that the headphones are worn in the right ear, the headphones can be adapted to the right channel audio signal, thereby... Improve the user experience.
- the headphones are further provided with buttons, which can be mechanical buttons or touch buttons.
- the button functions may differ depending on whether the headphones are worn in the left or right ear. For example, when worn in the left ear, the buttons can be used to switch tracks, while when worn in the right ear, the buttons can be used to adjust the volume. In such cases, the button functions can be configured according to the current wearing position of the headphones, thereby improving the user experience.
- Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the detection method provided in this application.
- the detection method further includes:
- S400 Issues a reminder message to remind the user of the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator. Based on the user's preset trigger action, it determines whether to adapt the headphones to the corresponding channel audio signal according to the wearing position indicator, and/or, based on the user's preset trigger action, it determines whether to set the headphone button functions according to the wearing position indicator.
- the reminder message may be issued in the form of voice, used to inform the user of the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator.
- the user when they receives the reminder message, they can independently determine whether the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator is accurate. If accurate, they can perform a preset trigger action on the headphones, such as an action that transmits a mechanical signal, an action that transmits a light signal, or an action that transmits an electrical signal, so that the headphones adapt the audio signal to the corresponding channel according to the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator and/or set the button functions of the headphones according to the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator.
- a preset trigger action on the headphones such as an action that transmits a mechanical signal, an action that transmits a light signal, or an action that transmits an electrical signal
- the user can independently determine whether the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator is accurate. If it is not accurate, a preset trigger action can be performed on the headphones to prevent the headphones from performing the steps of adapting the headphones to the corresponding channel audio signal according to the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator and/or setting the button function of the headphones according to the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator.
- a preset trigger action can be performed on the headphones to prevent the headphones from performing the steps of adapting the headphones to the corresponding channel audio signal according to the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator and/or setting the button function of the headphones according to the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator.
- the user is given the opportunity to judge whether the wearing position indicated by the wearing position indicator is accurate. In this way, even if the current wearing position indicator is wrong, it will be recognized by the user in time, so as to avoid affecting the user experience.
