The present disclosure relates to a wireless earphone technology, in particular to an earphone ear-oriented debugging method, apparatus, system and a wireless earphone.
With the development of mobile communication and the advancement of wireless audio transmission, the demand for earphones in the market is increasing, and the user's demand for earphones for audio data transmission is also getting higher and higher. At present, in the earphone market, there still exists wired earphones and wireless earphones. The wired earphones are traditional earphone products. Compared with the emerging wireless earphones, especially Bluetooth earphones, the wired earphones are gradually declining. Among them, Bluetooth earphones are growing explosively, and there are many solutions for Bluetooth earphones in the market. Therefore, among numerous products, users have higher and higher requirements for the experience of using Bluetooth earphones, and how to improve performances of the Bluetooth earphones in all aspects has been a research direction by various manufacturers.
An earphone ear-oriented debugging is performed for a traditional Bluetooth earphone before delivery. Specifically, an impedance matching debugging of a bare metal master earphone and slave earphone is performed, to allow the two Bluetooth earphones to achieve better communication quality. On this basis, in addition to performing the impedance matching debugging of the bare metal master earphone and slave earphone, an impedance matching debugging of a human body is further simulated, to make the environment closer to a human usage environment, and thus improved communication quality may be achieved as compared with the debugging of bare metal earphones. To be specific, as reflected in the user experience, during listening to music, a lag of music or an off-line of one earphone may be eliminated; or, during speech communication, a smooth speech communication may be ensured.
However, a problem is ignored in the above two debugging methods, that is, for both the bare metal debugging or simulated human body debugging, results of each of the two debugging methods are different for specific individuals. With respect to a specific individual wearing Bluetooth earphones, personal characteristics, e.g., a head size, a height, a shape and size of an ear contour, body fat content and other factors take into account. After a debugging is performed on a standard simulated human body, a result thereof may be not applicable to specific individuals, and a debugging effect may not be adapted to user experience of specific individuals.
To sum up, the earphone debugging in the related art has the following technical defects: the Bluetooth earphone products debugged before delivery are not adapted to actual use environment difference, which limits the optimization of communication quality and affects the user experience.

In order to reduce an ear-oriented debugging error that is caused by a usage environment difference and to optimize communication quality, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an earphone ear-oriented debugging method.
In step S101, an in-ear state signal indicating that a first earphone and a second earphone are in an in-ear state is confirmed. In this embodiment, the in-ear state refers to that the first earphone and the second earphone have been worn. In a specific embodiment, a sensor built in each earphone may be used to detect the in-ear state of the first earphone and the second earphone, afterwards, the in-ear state signal indicating that the first earphone and the second earphone are in the in-ear state may be confirmed.
In order to avoid false triggering of the in-ear state and to ensure that the first earphone and the second earphone are properly in the in-ear state, in a specific embodiment, during performing the step S101, the confirming the in-ear state signal that the first earphone and the second earphone are in the in-ear state includes: obtaining an in-ear triggering signal indicating the first earphone and the second earphone entering the in-ear state; judging whether the first earphone and the second earphone are maintained in the in-ear state in a preset duration; and confirming the in-ear state signal responsive to the first earphone and the second earphone being maintained in the in-ear state in a preset duration. Specifically, responsive to the first earphone and the second earphone entering the in-ear state, the in-ear triggering signal may be obtained through a sensor built in the earphone. The preset duration may be set to exclude a case that the first earphone and the second earphone are in a non-in-ear state, but has been determined to be in the in-ear state due to a mistakenly triggering and detection of the in-ear trigger signal. In a specific implementation process, the preset duration may be determined based on experience.
In step S102, a plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves are sent to the second earphone based on the in-ear state signal. In this embodiment, the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves respectively correspond to a plurality of frequency points for wireless communication in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, each respective frequency point corresponds to a first ear-oriented debugging wave. In an example, the ear-oriented debugging wave may be a sine wave. It shall be noted that, in a specific implementation process, this embodiment is also applicable for other suitable ear-oriented debugging waves.
In step S103, a first earphone configuration instruction sent from the second earphone is received. In this embodiment, the so-called first earphone configuration instruction is generated by the second earphone according to the first ear-oriented debugging wave. Specifically, with reference to the below description, the first earphone configuration instruction is configured to instruct a configuration parameter of an antenna matching element of the first earphone, to optimize the communication quality of the first earphone and the second earphone. In a specific embodiment, referring to
In this embodiment, since the first earphone and the second earphone are both in the in-ear state, the first earphone matching instruction generated by the second earphone is obtained in accordance with an in-ear environment where the first earphone and the second earphone are currently located.
In step S104, a configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone is configured according to the first earphone configuration instruction, to optimize a communication state. In a specific embodiment, after receiving the first earphone configuration instruction sent from the second earphone, the parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone may be configured based on the first earphone configuration instruction. For example, the capacitance, inductance and/or resistance of the antenna circuit may be configured. By configuring the antenna matching element, the communication quality of the antenna of the first earphone may be optimized, and the optimized communication quality is obtained for the in-ear environment where the first earphone and the second earphone are currently located. Specifically, when the second earphone is considered not currently working in an optimal frequency point state, it is required to decrease the operating frequency point interval (e.g., left shift the operating frequency point interval), and the first earphone configuration indication is generated accordingly. Then, the configuration parameter is configured for the antenna matching element of the first earphone according to the first earphone configuration instruction, to increase the operation frequency interval of the current Bluetooth communication. Otherwise, the frequency point interval may be increased (e.g., right shift the operating frequency point interval). A specific manner for generating the first earphone configuration instruction may be referred to the below description, which is not repeated herein.
Generally, there are 79 frequency points for the Bluetooth communication, e.g., the frequency points are in a range of 2402 to 2480. The configuration parameter of the antenna matching element for each frequency point is different. Thus, a frequency point corresponding to an optimized signal quality is determined for performing configuration and debugging accurately. Therefore, during performing the step S102, the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves sent to the second earphone based on the in-ear state signal may be first ear-oriented debugging waves corresponding to all frequency points.
In the earphone ear-oriented debugging method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, after that the first earphone and the second earphone enter the in-ear state is confirmed, the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves are sent to the second earphone, and the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves respectively correspond to the plurality of frequency points for wireless communication in a one-to-one correspondence. And, the first earphone configuration instruction sent from the second earphone is received. Since the first earphone configuration instruction at this time is generated after the first earphone and the second earphone enter the in-ear state, the first earphone configuration instruction can be better adapted to the current actual usage environment. As a result, the configuration of the configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone according to the first earphone configuration instruction can be better adapted to the current actual usage environment, thereby reducing an ear-oriented debugging error that is caused by a usage environment difference, and optimizing communication quality.

In step S301, a plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves sent from the first earphone are received after entering an in-ear state. The plurality first ear-oriented debugging waves respectively correspond to a plurality of frequency points for wireless communication in a one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, reference may be made to the above embodiments.
In step S302, a first earphone configuration instruction is generated based on the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves. In this embodiment, the first earphone configuration instruction is configured to configure a configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone, to optimize a communication state. In a specific embodiment, the first earphone configuration instruction may be generated based on a first sensibility-frequency point mapping relation. Specifically, during performing the step S302, the generating the first earphone configuration instruction based on the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves includes: obtaining the first sensibility-frequency point mapping relation based on the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves and a preset algorithm; judging whether a frequency point corresponding to an optimal first sensibility is within a preset frequency point range; generating the first earphone configuration instruction responsive to the frequency point corresponding to the optimal first sensibility being not within the preset frequency point range, to configure the configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone, to cause the frequency point corresponding to the optimal first sensibility to shift in a direction close to the preset frequency point range. In a specific embodiment, the preset frequency point range may be determined based on experience. Generally, an optimal frequency point corresponding to the optimal first sensibility is 2.441 GHz. Certainly, in actual practice, the optimal frequency point may be around 2.441 GHz.

It shall be noted that, in the above embodiments, the specific numerical values are not limited, but are only used as examples to facilitate better understanding for those skilled in the art.
In this embodiment, since the first earphone and the second earphone are both in the in-ear state, the first earphone configuration instruction generated by the second earphone is obtained for the in-ear environment where the first earphone and the second earphone are currently located.

In the earphone ear-oriented debugging method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the earphones enter the in-ear state, the first earphone configuration instruction is generated and sent to the first earphone for configuring parameter based on the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves of the first earphone. Since the first earphone configuration instruction at this time is generated after the first earphone and the second earphone enter the in-ear state, the first earphone configuration instruction can be better adapted to the current actual usage environment. As a result, the configuration of the configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone according to the first earphone configuration instruction can be better adapted to the current actual usage environment, thereby reducing an ear-oriented debugging error that is caused by a usage environment difference, and optimizing communication quality.
Since the first earphone and the second earphone may not know each other's current configuration parameter, the frequency point may not fall within the preset frequency range at one time when configuring the parameter according to the first earphone configuration instruction. Therefore, a plurality of instructions and configurations may be adopted in an iterative manner, to optimize the communication state.

In step S107, the configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone is configured according to the updated first earphone configuration instruction. After receiving the new first earphone configuration instruction, a configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone may be configured according to the new first earphone configuration instruction, to optimize a communication state.

In an alternative embodiment, after performing the step S106, the method may further include: receiving a confirmation message confirming an optimal communication state sent from the second earphone; and determining a current configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone based on the confirmation message. After the second earphone confirms that the current communication state is an optimal state, the confirmation message is informed to the first earphone, and the first earphone determines a current configuration parameter based on the confirmation message. At this time, the first earphone may stop the updating and iterating operations of steps S105 to S107, and the ear-oriented debugging of the first earphone is completed.
In this embodiment, the communication state of the first earphone may be continuously iterated and optimized by updating the configuration of the configuration parameter of the antenna matching element by updating the plurality of first ear-oriented debugging waves.

Responsive to a frequency point corresponding to the updated optimal first sensibility being within the preset frequency point range, a confirmation message confirming an optimal communication state is generated and sent to the first earphone.

In this embodiment, the initial turn-on refers to a first booting power after a user gets the first earphone and the second earphone, and before that, the first earphone and the second earphone were never in ear under a turn-on status. In a specific embodiment, when the first earphone and the second earphone are turned on, an initial turn-on signal may be detected by a built-in detection unit of the first earphone and the second earphone. The first initial debugging wave refers to a debugging wave when the first earphone and the second earphone are turned on for the first time and not in the ears. The debugging wave may be the same to the first ear-oriented debugging wave, or may be set separately.
In step S702, a first initial configuration instruction sent from the second earphone is received. The principle of the step is similar to the step S103, the detail may be referred to the description in the step S103 and is not repeated herein.
In step S703, configuration of a configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first earphone is initialized according to the first initial configuration instruction, to optimize a communication state. The principle of the step is similar to the step S104, the detail may be referred to the description in the step S104 and is not repeated herein.
In an alternative embodiment, after performing the step S703 of configuring the configuration parameter of the antenna matching element of the first initial according to the first initial earphone configuration instruction, the method further includes following steps.
In step S704, a plurality of second initial debugging waves sent from the second earphone are received. The second initial debugging wave refers to a debugging wave when the first earphone and the second earphone are turned on for the first time and not in the ears. The debugging wave may be the same to the second ear-oriented debugging wave, or may be set separately.
In step S705, an initial configuration instruction of the second earphone is generated based on the plurality of second initial debugging waves. The principle of the step is similar to the step S502, the detail may be referred to the description in the step S502 and is not repeated herein.
In step S706, the initial configuration instruction of the second earphone is sent to the second earphone, to initialize configuration of the antenna matching element of the second earphone, to optimize the communication state. The principle of the step is similar to the step S503, the detail may be referred to the description in the step S503 and is not repeated herein.
In this embodiment, by initializing configuration of the antenna matching elements of the first earphone and the second earphone before the first earphone and the second earphone are inserted into the ear, the communication state may be preliminarily optimized before the first earphone and the second earphone are in the earphone state. Afterwards, the debugging configuration may be only performed for the in-ear environment, thereby improving the in-ear debugging efficiency.
It shall be noted that, in a specific implementation process, the initializing configuration of the antenna matching elements of the first earphone and the second earphone may be performed only when the first earphone and the second earphone are turned on for the first time, and the initializing configuration is not required for subsequent turn-on operations.
Some embodiments further provide an earphone ear-oriented debugging method, a difference from the above embodiments lies in that, between the confirming the in-ear state signal indicating that the first earphone and the second earphone are in an in-ear state and the sending the first ear-oriented debugging waves to the second earphone based on the in-ear state signal, the method further includes: receiving an ear-oriented command signal sent from an external device; replacing the ear-oriented command signal to the in-ear state signal. In a specific embodiment, the external device may be a mobile terminal, e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet, etc. After replacing the ear-oriented command signal to the in-ear state signal, steps in the above embodiments may be sequentially performed to complete the optimal configuration of the first earphone and the second earphone in the in-ear state according to the ear-oriented command signal.
In this embodiment, the optimized configuration of the first earphone and the second earphone is completed according to the ear-oriented command signal, so that the configuration of the first earphone and the second earphone is updated and optimized after the in-ear environment of the first earphone and the second earphone changes, so as to optimize the communication quality for a new in-ear environment.
To facilitate understanding of those skilled in the art, an application scenario is listed as below.
First, the first earphone and the second earphone are turned on by a user A for the first time, and the first earphone and the second earphone may be initially configured. After the user A wears the first earphone and the second earphone, the first earphone and the second earphone may be ear-oriented debugged in the in-ear state respectively. After the debugging, the first earphone and the second earphone are adapted to the user A with optimized communication quality.
Second, when a user B wears the above first earphone and second earphone, since in-ear environments used for user A and user B are different, such as a head size, a height (affecting a distance between a mobile phone and the earphones), a contour of an ear, and a wearing depth of the earphones, the communication quality debugged for the first earphone and the second earphone worn by the user A may be not optimized in this case. Therefore, a new ear-oriented debugging in the in-ear state may be performed by the ear-oriented command signal.
