This application relates to the field of positioning, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for detecting a relative location between devices.
Spatial interaction is a human-computer interaction technology and method based on spatial location (including relative locations and angles, absolute locations and angles, and the like between people and a device and between devices) perception. To implement better user experience, spatial perception needs to be implemented between a plurality of devices of a user. For example, Apple uses an ultra-wideband (ultra-wideband, UWB) technology to implement an AirDrop directional sharing function. For example, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are used for proximity detection between devices.
In a solution, a plurality of ultrasonic positioning modules are used to send ultrasonic signals. The ultrasonic signals are reflected by a hand of the user. Reflected signals are filtered by a control and processing module, and then output to a host computer, to generate information such as a posture and a location of the hand of the user. However, a relative location between devices cannot be determined only by reflection.

Condition 5: two microphones that are in a plurality of microphones of the device B and that are least blocked by the device B relative to the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A.
It should be noted herein that, when there are a plurality of pairs of microphones (each pair of microphones includes two microphones) that meet Condition 3, Condition 4, and Condition 5 in the device B, a pair of microphones that meets a condition with a higher priority may be selected as the first microphone and the second microphone of the device B based on priorities of Condition 3, Condition 4, and Condition 5.
Optionally, a priority of Condition 3 is higher than a priority of Condition 4, and the priority of Condition 4 is higher than a priority of Condition 5. Alternatively, a priority of Condition 5 is higher than a priority of Condition 4, and the priority of Condition 4 is higher than a priority of Condition 3. Alternatively, a priority of Condition 4 is higher than a priority of Condition 5, and the priority of Condition 5 is higher than a priority of Condition 3. It should be understood that this is merely an example, and does not constitute a limitation on this application. Certainly, the priorities of Condition 3, Condition 4, and Condition 5 may alternatively be in another form.
A degree to which the microphone of the device B is blocked by the device B relative to the device A may be determined in the following two manners:
Manner 1: A length of a line segment that passes through the device B in a connection line starting from a microphone and ending at a speaker is determined. A longer line segment indicates a higher degree to which the microphone is blocked by the device B. As shown in a in
Manner 2: An audio signal from the first speaker received by the microphone is obtained, and then the audio signal is processed in a preprocessing manner in this application, to obtain a processed audio signal. An audio segment is obtained from the processed audio signal in a manner in this application, and then a quantity of wave peaks whose peak values exceed a preset amplitude in the audio segment is obtained. A larger quantity indicates a higher degree to which the microphone is blocked by the device B.
Manner 3: The device B captures, by using a default microphone, a first audio signal emitted by the first speaker of the device A and a second audio signal emitted by the second speaker of the device A, and then determines a relative location relationship with low precision by using the method in this application. Because the device B knows a type of the device A, for example, a Huawei laptop computer or a Huawei phone, the device B knows a location of a speaker of the device A, and may also know a distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A. Therefore, on a premise of the relative location relationship with low precision, one or two microphones with a lowest blocking degree are selected from the device B in Manner 1.
Specifically, that the first microphone and the second microphone of the device B are the two microphones that are in the plurality of microphones of the device B and that each has the difference, greater than the second preset distance, between the distance from the first speaker of the device A and the distance from the second speaker of the device A includes: When there are a plurality of microphones that each has a difference, greater than the second preset distance, between a distance from the first speaker of the device A and a distance from the second speaker of the device A, in the plurality of microphones of the device B, two microphones are randomly selected from the plurality of microphones as the first microphone and the second microphone of the device B, or two microphones that each have a maximum difference are selected from the plurality of microphones as the first microphone and the second microphone of the device B.
It should be noted that, in this solution of this application, the relative location between the device A and the device B may be determined based on a difference between the distances between the microphone and the two speakers. When the difference is small, the relative location between the device A and the device B cannot be accurately determined.
For example, an example in which the device A is a laptop computer and the device B is a pad is used to describe how to select a microphone: The laptop computer is located on a table, the pad includes five microphones: a mic0, a mic1, a mic2, a mic3, and a mic4, locations of the five microphones are shown in
When the pad is placed on a support on the table, and the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3 face downwards (that is, face the table), because the mic4 is on the back of the pad and is completely blocked by the pad, and the mic1 and the mic2 may be blocked by the support, the mic4, the mic1, and the mic2 are not considered during microphone selection, and the first microphone and the second microphone are the mic0 and the mic3. Further, a reason why the mic0 and the mic3 are selected as the first microphone and the second microphone is that the mic0 and the mic3 are two microphones that are farthest from each other in the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3. Further, the mic0 and the mic3 are the two microphones that are farthest from each other in the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3, and both a difference between distances between the mic0 and two speakers of the laptop computer and a difference between distances between the mic3 and the two speakers of the laptop computer are greater than the second preset distance.
When the pad is placed on the support on the table, and the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3 face upwards (that is, face the ceiling or the sky), because the mic4 is on the back of the pad and completely blocked by the pad, the mic4 is not considered during microphone selection, and the first microphone and the second microphone are the mic0 and the mic3. A reason why the mic0 and the mic3 are selected as the first microphone and the second microphone is that the mic0 and the mic3 are two microphones that are farthest from each other in the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3. Further, the mic0 and the mic3 are the two microphones that are farthest from each other in the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3, and both a difference between distances between the mic0 and two speakers of the laptop computer and a difference between distances between the mic3 and the two speakers of the laptop computer are greater than the second preset distance.
When the pad is placed on the support on the table, and the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3 are on the left or the right, if both a difference between distances between the mic0 and two speakers of the laptop computer and a difference between distances between the mic4 and the two speakers of the laptop computer are greater than the second preset distance, the mic and the mic2 are as the first microphone and the second microphone.
When the pad is horizontally placed on the table, and the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3 face a direction far away from the laptop computer, or when the pad is horizontally placed on the table, and the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3 face a direction of the laptop computer, because the mic4 is on the back of the pad and is completely blocked by the pad, the mic4 is not considered during microphone selection, and the first microphone and the second microphone are the mic0 and the mic3. A reason why the mic0 and the mic3 are selected as the first microphone and the second microphone is that the mic0 and the mic3 are two microphones that are farthest from each other in the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3. Further, the mic0 and the mic3 are the two microphones that are farthest from each other in the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3, and both a difference between distances between the mic0 and two speakers of the laptop computer and a difference between distances between the mic3 and the two speakers of the laptop computer are greater than the second preset distance.
When the pad is horizontally placed on the table, and the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3 face rightwards, the mic2 and the mic3 are used as the first microphone and the second microphone. If the mic0 and the mic1 are selected, when the pad is located in front and right front of the laptop computer, as shown in a and b in
When the pad is horizontally placed on the table, and the mic0, the mic1, the mic2, and the mic3 face leftwards, the mic0 and the mic are used as the first microphone and the second microphone. If the mic2 and the mic3 are selected, when the pad is located in front and left front of the laptop computer, as shown in a and b in
Optionally, the microphone of the device B may be manually predetermined in the foregoing manner, or may be selected by the device B according to the foregoing selection policy.
It should be noted herein that the device B may select the first microphone, or the first microphone and the second microphone of the device B based on an instruction of a user. Optionally, after a relative location between devices is determined once, the first microphone, or the first microphone and the second microphone of the device B are automatically reselected.
In a feasible embodiment, when computing power of the device B is low, the device B sends a captured audio signal to a device C, the device C determines a relative location between the device B and the device A based on the audio signal captured by the device B, and the device C sends the relative location between the device B and the device A to the device C, as shown in
It should be noted herein that the relative location between the device B and the device A includes a location of the device B relative to the device A. After the location of the device B relative to the device A is determined, a location of the device A relative to the device B may be determined based on the location of the device B relative to the device A.
As shown in
In a feasible embodiment, when the device A detects an orientation sensing instruction triggered by a user, the device A generates an orientation sensing request, and sends the orientation sensing request to device B. The orientation sensing instruction may be a preset gesture of the user, a touch instruction of the user for a display interface of the device A, or a voice instruction of the user, or certainly may be an instruction based on another manner. The first speaker and the second speaker of the device A respectively generate a first audio signal and a second audio signal. After receiving the orientation sensing request sent by the device A, the device B selects, in the foregoing manner, a microphone or a microphone that is set by the user by default, to obtain a target audio signal, where the target audio signal is obtained based on the first audio signal generated by the first speaker of the device A and the second audio signal generated by the second speaker of the device A. Optionally, the orientation sensing request carries a moment at which the first speaker of the device A emits the first audio signal and a moment at which the second speaker of the device A emits the second audio signal. Optionally, the orientation sensing request further carries the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A.
Optionally, when the device B detects an orientation sensing instruction triggered by a user, the device B generates an orientation sensing request, and sends the orientation sensing request to the device A. The device B selects, in the foregoing manner, a microphone or a microphone that is set by the user by default, to receive audio signals generated by the first speaker and the second speaker. After the device A receives the orientation sensing request, the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A respectively generate the audio signals in sequence based on a time interval.
Optionally, when the device C detects an orientation sensing instruction triggered by a user, the device C generates an orientation sensing request, and sends the orientation sensing request to the device A and the device B. After receiving the orientation sensing request, the device B selects a microphone or a microphone set by the user by default in the foregoing manner, to obtain a target audio signal, where the target audio signal is obtained based on a first audio signal generated by the first speaker of the device A and a second audio signal generated by the second speaker. After the device A receives the orientation sensing request, the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A respectively generate the first audio signal and the second audio signal.
A microphone of the device B obtains the target audio signal, and then the device B may determine, based on the obtained target audio signal, a relative location between the device A and the device B by using the method in this application. The device B may alternatively send the obtained target audio signal to the device A or the device C, and the device A or the device C determines a relative location between the device A and the device B by using the method in this application. If the device A determines the relative location between the device A and the device B, the device A sends the relative location to the device B after determining the relative location between the device A and the device B. If the device C determines the relative location between the device A and the device B, the device C sends the relative location between the device A and the device B to the device A and the device B after determining the relative location between the device A and the device B.
Optionally, when an embodiment shown in
Optionally, the target audio signal includes a first target audio signal. Optionally, the target audio signal further includes a second target audio signal. The first target audio signal is obtained by the first microphone of the device B based on the first audio signal emitted by the first speaker of the device A and the second audio signal emitted by the second speaker of the device A, and the second target audio signal is obtained by the second microphone of the device B based on the first audio signal emitted by the first speaker of the device A and the second audio signal emitted by the second speaker of the device A.
In an optional embodiment, as shown in
If the device B determines, based on an obtained target audio signal, a relative location between the device A and the device B by using the method in this application, the device B further includes a computing system. The computing system of the device B determines, based on the obtained target audio signal, the relative location between the device A and the device B by using the method in this application, and sends the relative location between the device A and the device B to the device A by using the communication system. The device A receives, by using the communication system, the relative location between the device A and the device B sent by the device A. Optionally, the device A sends, to the device B by using the communication system of the device A, the moment at which the first speaker of the device A emits the first audio signal and the moment at which the second speaker of the device A emits the second audio signal. Optionally, the device A sends the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A to the device B by using the communication system of the device A.
Optionally, the device A and the device B each further include a display system. The display system of the device A and the display system of the device B display content based on the relative location between the device A and the device B.
The following describes how to determine a relative location between a device A and a device B based on an audio signal obtained by a microphone of the device B.
S701: Obtain a first target audio signal obtained by a first microphone of the device B, where the first target audio signal is obtained based on a first audio signal emitted by a first speaker of the device A and a second audio signal emitted by a second speaker of the device A.
A time period within which the first speaker of the device A emits the first audio signal may overlap or may not overlap a time period within which the second speaker of the device A emits the second audio signal.
Optionally, a parameter of the first speaker and a parameter of the second speaker of the device A are the same or different. The first speaker and the second speaker of the device A are symmetrically distributed on the device A. As shown in
Specifically, obtaining the first target audio signal by using the first microphone of the device B includes:
The first audio signal sent by the first speaker of the device A and the second audio signal sent by the second speaker of the device A are received by using the device B, and the received audio signal is filtered to obtain a filtered audio signal. Optionally, the received audio signal is input to a band-pass filter to be processed, to obtain a filtered audio signal. Filtering is to filter out noise on a non-operating frequency from the received audio signal. Then the received audio signal is segmented in a time sequence to obtain a plurality of audio segments, whether energy of each of the plurality of audio segments exceeds a preset energy threshold is determined, and an audio segment whose energy does not exceed the preset energy threshold is deleted from the filtered audio signal to obtain an energy-filtered audio signal. Energy of the audio segment is defined as an integral of sound intensity of the audio segment in time. Matched filtering is performed on the energy-filtered audio signal, to obtain an audio signal obtained through matched filtering. Optionally, a matched filtering manner corresponding to a type of the audio signal may be used based on the type. For example, when the received audio signal is a modulated signal, a matched filtering manner corresponding to the modulated signal is used for filtering, to obtain an audio signal obtained through matched filtering. Filtering is performed in this manner, so that signal strength of an unmodulated audio signal is attenuated, and signal strength of a modulated audio signal is enhanced. The audio signal obtained through matched filtering is the first target audio signal.
Optionally, the modulated signal may be a linear chirp (chirp) signal or a non-linear chirp signal.
S702: Determine a first audio segment and a second audio segment based on a first target moment and the first target audio signal.
The first target moment is a moment corresponding to a target amplitude in the first target audio signal. When there are a plurality of moments corresponding to the target amplitude in the first target audio signal, the first target moment is an earliest moment in the plurality of moments. The first audio segment and the second audio segment respectively correspond to a segment in the first audio signal and a segment in the second audio signal in the first target audio signal. The target amplitude may be an average value of all wave peaks in the first target audio signal, or may be a maximum signal amplitude in the first target audio signal.
In a feasible embodiment, the first audio segment and the second audio segment may be determined in a first manner, and a specific process is as follows:
The first audio segment is determined from the first target audio signal based on the first target moment, a distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, and a sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B. The second audio segment is determined from the first target audio signal based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B, and a time interval between a moment at which the first speaker of the device A emits the first audio signal and a moment at which the second speaker of the device A emits the second audio signal.
Further, determining the first audio segment from the first target audio signal based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, and the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B includes:
A first time range is determined based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, and the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B. A start moment of the first time range is ind_max−2×(d/v)×f, an end moment of the first time range is ind_max+2×(D/v)×f, ind_max is the first target moment, d is a first preset distance, D is the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, v is a sound velocity, and f is the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B. The first audio segment is determined from the first target audio signal based on the first time range. The first audio segment is an audio segment corresponding to the first time range in the first target audio signal.
Optionally, the first preset distance may be a preset value, and may be preset based on an application scenario. For example, in an open area, the preset distance is 10 m, and in a scene of a room, the preset distance is 5 m. Certainly, the preset distance is determined based on a product of a preset time period and the sound velocity.
A relationship among the first target audio signal, the first time range, and the first audio segment is described by using an example. As shown in
In a feasible embodiment, determining the second audio segment from the first target audio signal based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker, the sampling frequency of the first microphone, and the time interval between the moment at which the first speaker generates the first audio signal and the moment at which the second speaker generates the second audio signal includes:
A second time range is determined based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker, the sampling frequency of the first microphone, and the time interval. A start moment of the second time range is ind_max−2×(d/v)×f−T1, an end moment of the second time range is ind_max+2×(D/v)×f−T1, ind_max is the first target moment, d is the first preset distance, D is the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker, v is the sound velocity, f is the sampling frequency of the first microphone, and T1 is the time interval. The second audio segment is determined from the first target audio signal based on the second time range.
As shown in
Optionally, determining the second audio signal from the first audio signal based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B, and the time interval includes:
A third time range and a fourth time range are determined based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B, and the time interval. A start moment of the third time range is ind_max−2×(d/v)×f+T1, an end moment of the third time range is ind_max+T1+2×(D/v)×f, a start moment of the fourth time range is ind_max−2×(d/v)×f−T1, an end moment of the fourth time range is ind_max−T1+2×(D/v)×f. The second audio segment is obtained from a third audio segment and a fourth audio segment. The second audio segment is an audio segment in which a ratio of a maximum signal amplitude to an LOS signal amplitude falls within a preset range in the third audio segment and the fourth audio segment, the third audio segment is an audio segment corresponding to the third time range in the first target audio signal, and the fourth audio segment is an audio segment corresponding to the fourth time range in the first target audio signal.
The following specifically describes how to determine the second audio segment from the first target audio signal based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B, and the time interval between the moment at which the first speaker of the device A generates an audio signal and the moment at which the second speaker of the device A generates an audio signal.
For the device B, a sound emitting sequence of the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A is unknown, and the second audio segment may precede the first audio segment, or may follow the first audio segment. Therefore, after it is determined that the first audio segment is determined from the first target audio signal, the second audio segment is searched for around the first audio segment. As shown in
A third time range and a fourth time range are determined based on the first target moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B, and the time interval. A start moment of the third time range is ind_max−2×(d/v)×f+T1, an end moment of the third time range is ind_max+T1+2×(D/v)×f, a start moment of the fourth time range is ind_max−2×(d/v)×f−T1, an end moment of the fourth time range is ind_max−T1+2×(D/v)×f, ind_max is the first target moment, d is the first preset distance, D is the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker of the device A, v is the sound velocity, f is the sampling frequency of the first microphone of the device B, and T1 is the time interval. The third audio segment and the fourth audio segment are respectively determined from the first target audio signal based on the third time range and the fourth time range. The third audio segment and the fourth audio segment are respectively audio segments corresponding to the third time range and the fourth time range in the first target audio signal. Then an audio segment that meets a preset condition is selected from the third audio segment and the fourth audio segment. The audio segment is the second audio segment. The preset condition includes: a ratio of a maximum signal amplitude to an LOS signal amplitude in the audio segment falls within a preset range. Optionally, the preset range may be [0.4, 0.6]. Certainly, the preset range may alternatively be another range. An LOS signal is a signal that is transmitted to a receive end through a minimum path without being reflected by an obstacle.
T
B
=ind_max−2×(d/v)×f, and TB=ind_max+2×(D/v)
Optionally, after the third time range and the fourth time range are determined, an audio segment corresponding to any one of the third time range and the fourth time range is first obtained from the first target audio signal based on the any time range, and then whether the audio segment meets the preset condition is determined. When the audio segment meets the preset condition, the audio segment is used as the second audio segment. When the audio segment does not meet the preset condition, an audio segment corresponding to the other one of the third time range and the fourth time range is used as the second audio segment.
It should be understood that, in the audio segments corresponding to the third time range and the fourth time range in the first target audio signal, one audio signal definitely meets the preset condition. Therefore, after it is determined that an audio segment corresponding to one time range meets the preset condition, an audio segment corresponding to the other time range does not need to be determined.
In a feasible embodiment, the first audio segment and the second audio segment may be determined in a second manner, and a specific process is as follows:
The first target audio signal includes a third audio signal and a fourth audio signal, the third audio signal is the first audio signal that is emitted by the first speaker of the device A and that is received by the first microphone of the device B, and the fourth audio signal is the second audio signal that is emitted by the second speaker of the device A and that is received by the first microphone of the device B. A fifth time range is determined based on the first target moment and a preset time threshold, and a sixth time range is determined based on a second target moment and the preset time threshold. The first target moment is a moment determined in the third audio signal based on the target amplitude, the second target moment is a moment determined in the fourth audio signal based on the target amplitude, an end moment of the fifth time range is the first target moment, an end moment of the sixth time range is the second target moment, and both duration of the fifth time range and duration of the sixth time range are the preset time threshold. The first audio segment is obtained from the third audio signal based on the fifth time range, and the second audio segment is obtained from the fourth audio signal based on the sixth time range. The first audio segment is an audio signal segment corresponding to the fifth time range in the third audio signal, and the second audio segment is an audio signal segment corresponding to the sixth time range in the fourth audio signal.
The preset time threshold is obtained based on a first preset distance and a time interval between a moment at which the first speaker of the device A generates the first audio signal and a moment at which the second speaker of the device A generates the second audio signal.
Specifically, after the first target moment ind_max and the second target moment ind_max′ are obtained, the fifth time range and the sixth time range are determined based on the first target moment ind_max, the second target moment ind_max′, and the preset time threshold TA. A start moment of the fifth time range is ind_max−TA, the end moment of the fifth time range is ind_max, the start moment of the second time range is ind_max′−TA, the end moment of the second time range is ind_max′, the preset time threshold TA=T1+2×d/v, T1 is the foregoing time interval, d is the preset distance, v is the sound velocity, and TA is greater than a difference between an end moment and a start moment of a range obtained when multipath interference is eliminated. Then, the first audio segment is obtained from the third audio signal based on the fifth time range, and the second audio segment is obtained from the fourth audio signal based on the sixth time range. The first audio segment is an audio signal segment corresponding to the fifth time range in the third audio signal, and the second audio segment is an audio signal segment corresponding to the sixth time range in the fourth audio signal.
S703: Separately search for the first audio segment and the second audio segment to obtain a first arrival moment and a second arrival moment.
The first arrival moment corresponds to a wave peak with earliest receiving time in wave peaks whose signal amplitudes are greater than a first preset amplitude in the first audio signal, and the arrival moment corresponds to a wave peak with earliest receiving time in wave peaks whose signal amplitudes are greater than a second preset amplitude in the second audio signal.
Optionally, the first preset amplitude and the second preset amplitude may be the same, or may be different.
Specifically, after the first audio segment is determined, the wave peak whose signal amplitude is greater than the first preset amplitude is searched for in the first audio segment, then the wave peak with earliest receiving time is selected from the wave peaks whose signal amplitudes are greater than the first preset amplitude, and a moment corresponding to the wave peak is used as the first arrival moment. Similarly, the wave peak whose signal amplitude is greater than the second preset amplitude is searched for in the second audio signal, then the wave peak with earliest receiving time is selected from the wave peaks whose signal amplitudes are greater than the second preset amplitude, and a moment corresponding to the wave peak is used as the second arrival moment.
For example, the first audio segment is shown in
The second arrival moment may be determined based on the second audio segment in the foregoing manner.
Optionally, the first preset amplitude is a1×target amplitude, the second preset amplitude is a2×target amplitude, and a1 and a2 are constants. Optionally, a1 and a2 may be equal or may not be equal.
S704: Determine the relative location between the device A and the device B based on the first arrival moment and the second arrival moment.
In a feasible embodiment, determining the relative location between the device A and the device B based on the first arrival moment and the second arrival moment includes:
A first hyperbolic function is built based on the first arrival moment and the second arrival moment; and the relative location between the device A and the device B is determined based on the first hyperbolic function and the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker.
The first hyperbolic function is built based on the first arrival moment, the second arrival moment, the first moment, and the second moment, and the relative location between the device A and the device B is determined based on the first hyperbolic function and the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker.
Optionally, the first moment may be a moment at which the first speaker generates the first audio signal, and the second moment may be a moment at which the second speaker generates the second audio signal. In this case, the first moment and the second moment are sent by the device A to the device B in a wireless manner, and the device A may further send the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker to the device B in this manner. The wireless manner includes manners such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The first moment may be an estimated value of the moment at which the first speaker generates the first audio signal, and the second moment may be an estimated value of the moment at which the second speaker generates the second audio signal.
As shown in
A location of the device B relative to the device A may be determined in the foregoing manner, but is limited to that the device B is located in front, rear, left, and right of the device A.
Optionally, it can only be determined, based on one microphone, that the device B is located in front, rear, left, and right of the device A, which results in low precision of such a result. To improve the precision, the second microphone of the device B is introduced, and a third arrival moment and a fourth arrival moment are determined in the foregoing manner. The third arrival moment and the fourth arrival moment are respectively a moment corresponding to a third target wave peak and a moment corresponding to a fourth target wave peak. The third target wave peak is a wave peak with earliest receiving time in wave peaks whose signal amplitudes are greater than a third preset amplitude in a fifth audio segment. The fourth target wave peak is a wave peak with earliest receiving time in wave peaks whose signal amplitudes are greater than a fourth preset amplitude in a sixth audio segment. The fifth audio segment is a segment that is in a second target audio signal and that is related to the first audio signal. The sixth audio segment is a segment that is in the second target audio signal and that is related to the second audio signal. The second target audio signal is obtained by a second microphone of the device B based on the first audio signal emitted by the first speaker of the device A and the second audio signal emitted by the second speaker of the device A. Determining the relative location between the device A and the device B based on the first arrival moment and the second arrival moment includes:
determining the relative location between the device A and the device B based on the first arrival moment, the second arrival moment, the third arrival moment, the fourth arrival moment, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker, and a distance between the first microphone and the second microphone.
Specifically, the first hyperbola function is built based on the first arrival moment, the second arrival moment, the first moment, and the second moment. A second hyperbola function is built based on the third arrival moment, the fourth arrival moment, the first moment, and the second moment. In a same coordinate system, the relative location between the device A and the device B is determined based on a location relationship between a graph of the first hyperbola function and a graph of the second hyperbola function, the distance between the first speaker and the second speaker, and the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone of the device B.
It should be noted herein that a manner of determining the third arrival moment and the fourth arrival moment is the same as a manner of determining the first arrival moment and the second arrival moment, and details are not described herein again.
As shown in
Further, after the location of the device B relative to the device A is determined, a location of the device A relative to the device A may be determined based on the location.
It can be learned from the foregoing description that, when the hyperbola is built, the difference of (second arrival moment−second moment)−(first arrival moment−first moment) is used. In a feasible example, the difference may be obtained in the following manner:

It should be noted herein that for a moment at which a sound emitted by a speaker of one device is received by a microphone of another device, refer to a process of calculating the first arrival moment or the second arrival moment in this application. Details are not described herein again.

Content displayed on a display interface of the device A is displayed in a preset area on a display interface of the device B. A location of the preset area that is of the device B and that is on the display interface of the device B is the same as the location of the device A relative to the device B.

In the projection field, if a UWB technology is used, all devices need to have a UWB chip, which results in high costs. If a Bluetooth technology and a Wi-Fi technology are used, because a propagation speed of an electromagnetic wave is a speed of light, without a very good clock synchronization mechanism, precision of small-distance detection is insufficient, an orientation cannot be determined, and a projection direction can only be fixed. However, according to the method in this application, a relative location between devices can be implemented with low costs and high precision without additional hardware, to implement projection in any direction.
An example in which the device A is a pad and the device B is a laptop computer is used for description. As shown in
