The present application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710884484.4, filed on Sep. 26, 2017, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The earpieces can be used for listening to music alone without affecting others, or for separating the surrounding sound. The earpieces are very helpful for people in a noisy environment such as recording studios, DJs, travels, and sports.
At present, common earpieces include wired earpieces. Wired earpieces can communicate with the portable electronic device through a physical interface. A control button may be provided on a cable of the wired earpiece, such as a physical button for controlling the volume.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a thorough understanding of the present disclosure, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wireless earpiece. As shown in
The touch device 12 is disposed on the wireless earpiece body 11. The touch device 12 is used for acquire touch information and converting the touch information into a control signal so as to control the wireless earpiece body 11 to perform a control command of the control signal.
The key difference between the embodiments of the present disclosure and the existing art is that a control instruction is received through the touch device 12. However, in the existing art, the control instruction is received through mechanical buttons. The touch device 12 may be integrated to a body position of the wireless earpiece through a flexible printed circuit (FPC), painting, printing, and the like, such that the touch device 12 is connected to the wireless earpiece body 11.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a wireless earpiece. The wireless earpiece includes the wireless earpiece body 11 and the touch device 12. The touch device 12 is disposed on the wireless earpiece body 12. The touch device 12 is used for acquire touch information and converting the touch information into a control signal so as to control the wireless earpiece body 11 to perform a control command of the control signal. In embodiments of the present disclosure, touch information triggered by a user is received though the touch device 12, and the touch information is converted into a touch signal executable by the wireless earpiece body 11. Compared with the existing art, embodiments of the present disclosure achieve flexible operation and control of the wireless earpiece without manipulating the portable electronic device (such as a smart phone) connected to the wireless earpiece.
In addition, compared with the existing art in which the wireless earpiece is controlled through mechanical buttons, in addition to the characteristic of controlling operations through the wireless earpiece itself, the wireless earpiece of the embodiments of the present disclosure also has a better waterproof characteristic, because the touch device 12 has a strong sealing, that is, the touch device 12 and the wireless earpiece body 11 in seamless connection.
Further, embodiments of the present disclosure include two different types of touch devices 12. The first type of touch device 12 includes a touch panel, a touch sensor 122 and a first process unit (processor) 123 (as shown in
The touch panel 121 is used for receiving a measured object (for example, gesture operation). The touch sensor 122 includes multiple elements.
When a user touches the touch panel 121 of the wireless earpiece, the wireless earpiece receives the gesture touch information based on the touch panel 121. The first sensitive element 1221 acquires the gesture touch information. With the first convert element 1222 of the touch sensor 122, the analog signal corresponding to the gesture touch information is converted into the control signal. With the first transform circuit 1223 of the touch sensor 122, the control signal is amplified and modulated. The touch sensor 122 transmits the control signal to the processor 123 of the wireless earpiece, and the control signal is executed by the controller.
The above wireless earpiece may further include a wireless charging module. The wireless charging module is connected to the first auxiliary power or the second auxiliary power, and is used for supplying power and providing electrical energy to the auxiliary power. The wireless charging module can be understood as a coil inducible with an external wireless charging device. Of course, the wireless charging module may also be a solar panel. When the user is outdoors, the solar panel supplies power to the auxiliary power. The wireless charging module is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
The above wireless earpiece may further include a wireless connection module, and the wireless connection module is used for wirelessly connecting to a terminal device so as to receive an audio signal sent by the terminal device. The wireless connection module is one or more of an infrared connection module, a Bluetooth connection module, or a wireless fidelity connection module. In practical applications, the terminal device is not limited to a smart phone, a tablet, a personal computer, a recorder, and the like; and the audio signal may be an audio signal outputted by the terminal device when receiving a call, or an audio signal outputted by the terminal device when playing a song or video. The specific embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the type of the terminal device and the source of the audio signal.
As shown in
The above wireless earpiece further includes a detecting module, and the detecting module is connected to the wireless charging module and is used for detecting a power amount state of the wireless charging module. In response to a low power amount, the detecting module sends to the indicating module 103 light prompt information or voice prompt information indicative of the low power amount. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the low power amount may be an empiric value. For example, when the power amount of the wireless earpiece is smaller than or equal to 20% of a total power amount, it may define that the wireless earpiece is with a low power amount. Alternatively, when the power amount of the wireless earpiece is smaller than or equal to 5% of a total power amount, it may define that the wireless earpiece is with a low power amount. Specifically, the low power amount of the wireless earpiece is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
Upon receiving the light prompt information or voice prompt information indicative of the low power amount sent by the detecting module, the indicating module 103 performs the prompt information. For example, the indicating module 103 performs the prompt of flashing the red light for 5 times, or performs the voice prompt of “low power amount”, or performs the voice prompt of alarm sound, and the like. In order to enable the user to determine the current state of the wireless earpiece according to the prompt lights, the manner used by the indicating module 103 for prompting the successful connection between the wireless earpiece and the terminal device is different from the manner used by the indicating module 103 for prompting the low power amount.
Optionally, in addition to the above functions, when the wireless earpiece is being charged, the indicating module 103 also displays the corresponding charging state. For example, the wireless earpiece is in the charging process but is not fully charged, the red light is on continuously; and when the wireless earpiece is fully charged, the green light flashes for prompting.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wireless earpiece control method. The method is applied in the wireless earpiece shown in any one of
In step 201, a target operation instruction is acquired based on the touch device. The touch device is disposed on the wireless earpiece body of the wireless earpiece, and the target operation instruction is an operation instruction conforming to a preset control rule.
In addition to the wireless earpiece shown in any one of
For ease of description, please continue to refer to
The key difference between the embodiments of the present disclosure and the existing art is that a control instruction is received through the touch device. However, in the existing art, the control instruction is received through mechanical buttons. In practical applications, the touch device mainly includes a touch panel/detect unit, a sensor, and a controller.
Compared with the existing art in which the wireless earpiece is controlled through mechanical buttons, in addition to the characteristic of controlling operations through the wireless earpiece itself, the wireless earpiece of the embodiments of the present disclosure also has a better waterproof characteristic, because the touch device has a strong sealing, that is, the touch device and the wireless earpiece body 11 in seamless connection.
When the wireless earpiece is successfully connected to the smart phone in a wireless manner, with the wireless earpiece, the user can listen to songs, answer a call, and so on. An application scenario is provided. When a user is wearing the wireless earpiece of the embodiments of the present disclosure and listening to a song, and wants to adjust the volume of the song, the user can operate the touch device of the wireless earpiece to control the volume. The user touches the touch device with the finger. Firstly, the receives the operation instruction of the user and identifies the meaning represented by the operation instruction. The basis for identifying the operation instruction is the preset control rule in the wireless earpiece. If the operation instruction received by the wireless earpiece is contained in the preset control rule in the wireless earpiece, the operation instruction received this time is acquired and determined as the target operation instruction, and it proceeds to perform step 202. If the operation instruction received by the wireless earpiece is not contained in the preset control rule, the operation instruction received this time is omitted and the present adjusting control is terminated.
The preset control rule has been configured when the wireless earpiece is delivered from the factory, the user may reconfigure the preset control rule after purchasing the wireless earpiece, and the specification is not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure. Exemplarily, the preset control rule records which operation instructions can be used as the target operation instruction. For example, the preset control rule specifies that the target operation instruction includes sliding upward and sliding downward, but does not record an operation instruction of sliding leftward and an operation instruction of sliding rightward. Assuming the user performs a sliding-upward operation on the touch sensor, the wireless earpiece determines the operation instruction of this operation as the target operation instruction and proceeds to perform step 202. Assuming that the user performs a sliding-rightward operation on the touch sensor, since an operation instruction of sliding rightward is not recorded in the preset control rule, the wireless earpiece identifies that the operation is a false operation and ignores the sliding-upward operation performed by the user.
In step 202, the target operation instruction is converted into the control signal. The mapping relationship between the target operation instruction and the control signal is recorded in the preset control rule.
The touch device, as a detect device, not only can sense specified measured objects (touch operation, acceleration, and the like), but also can convert the target operation instruction acquired in step 201 into a usable control signal according to a certain rule. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control signal is a usable electrical signal, and the control signal can be read, identified and performed by the touch device shown in
In addition to the target operation instruction, the preset control rule further records the mapping relationship between the target operation instruction and the control signal. In order to accurately control the wireless earpiece without fault, the mapping relationship in the embodiments of the present disclosure is an one-to-one correspondence, as shown Table 1. For example, when the received target operation instruction is sliding upward, the touch device converts the target operation instruction into the control signal, and the control signal indicates increasing the current sound volume. When the received target operation instruction is a double-click operation, the touch device converts the target operation instruction into the control signal, and the control signal indicates pausing the current song. Table 1 illustrates exemplary examples, but it does not mean that the wireless earpiece in practical applications only has the target operation instructions in Table 1 and their corresponding control signal meanings. The number of target operation instructions, the number of control signals, and the correspondence relationship are not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure.
In step 203, a control command of the control signal is executed.
Steps 201 and 202 are both carried out by the sensor. When the touch device completes the conversion of the control signal, the control information is performed. For example, after receiving the control signal of “Volume +”, the touch device immediately performs the adjusting control of increasing the sound of the wireless earpiece.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earpiece control method. The target operation instruction is acquired based on the touch device. The touch device is disposed on the wireless earpiece body of the wireless earpiece. The target operation instruction is an operation instruction conforming to the preset control rule. The target operation instruction is converted into the control signal. The mapping relationship between the target operation instruction and the control signal is recorded in the preset control rule. The control command of the control signal is executed. In embodiments of the present disclosure, touch information triggered by a user is received though the touch device, and the touch information is converted into a touch signal executable by the wireless earpiece body. Compared with the existing art, embodiments of the present disclosure do not need to manipulate the portable electronic device (such as a smart phone) connected to the wireless earpiece, and thus achieve flexible operation and control of the wireless earpiece. In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target operation instruction triggered by the user is received by the touch device provided in the wireless earpiece body, it does not need to arrange mechanical buttons on the wireless earpiece, thereby achieving flexible control of the wireless earpiece without affecting the overall structure and appearance of the wireless earpiece.
As a detailed description and extension of the above embodiments, when the target operation instruction is acquired based on the touch device in step 201, the target operation instruction can be implemented based on a touch sensor and an acceleration sensor. Manners for acquiring the touch operation instruction are respectively described below in details.
In the manner one, the touch device includes a touch panel, a touch sensor and a first control unit (controller).
Gesture touch information is acquired based on the touch panel, and the gesture touch information is converted into the target operation instruction by using the touch sensor.
The touch panel is used for receiving a measured object (for example, gesture operation). The touch sensor includes multiple elements, which are a first sensitive element, a first convert element, and a first transform circuit respectively. The first sensitive element is mainly used for receiving a physical quantity signal (analog signal) associated with the measured object (gesture touch). With the first convert element, the analog signal is converted into the control signal. The first transform circuit is used for executing on the control signal processes such as amplification and modulation, such that the controller can identify the control signal corresponding to the control information quickly. In practical applications, the touch sensor may further include a first auxiliary power for supplying power to the wireless earpiece (mainly for the first convert element and the first transform circuit).
When a user touches the touch panel of the wireless earpiece, the wireless earpiece receives the gesture touch information based on the touch panel. The touch panel senses the gesture touch information (that is, the physical quantity signal) of the touching, and compares the gesture touch information with touch information in the preset control rule. If the gesture touch information does not conform to any touch information of the preset control rule in Table 1, the gesture touch of the local user is omitted. If the gesture touch information conforms to any touch information of the preset control rule in Table 1, the gesture touch information is converted into the target operation instruction, and the acquisition of the physical quantity information is completed by the wireless earpiece.
After acquiring the physical quantity information (target operation instruction), the wireless earpiece acquires the analog signal corresponding to the target operation instruction based on the first sensitive element, and converts the analog signal to the control signal based on the first convert element. The touch sensor transmits the control signal to the controller of the wireless earpiece, and the controller performs the control signal.
Exemplarily, the used answers a call with the wireless earpiece of embodiments of the present disclosure. During the call, the user triggers the touch panel of the wireless earpiece and performs a single-click gesture on the touch panel. The single-click gesture operation is determined as the target operation instruction (physical quantity information) based on the preset control rule. Further, the analog signal corresponding to the target operation instruction is acquired through the first sensitive element, the analog signal is converted into the control signal through the first convert element, the control signal is transmitted to the controller of the wireless earpiece, and the controller performs the operation of hanging up the phone.
In the manner two, the touch device includes a detect unit, an acceleration sensor and a second process unit (controller).
Acquiring the target operation instruction based on the touch device specifically includes: detecting an acceleration and an acceleration direction based on the detect unit, and converting the acceleration and the acceleration direction into the target operation instruction by using the acceleration sensor.
The acceleration sensor includes multiple elements, which are a second sensitive element, a second convert element, a second transform circuit, and a second auxiliary power respectively. The elements of the acceleration sensor have the same functions as the elements of the touch sensor described in the manner one. For the function of each element of the acceleration sensor, please refer to the related detailed description in the manner, which is not repeated in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
In this manner, the user can control the wireless earpiece by shaking the earpiece, that is, when the user is wearing the wireless earpiece, the user controls the wireless earpiece by shaking head.
When determining whether the user is shaking the wireless earpiece, the wireless earpiece may monitor, through the acceleration sensor, whether the wireless earpiece itself is in a shaking state. If the wireless earpiece is in the shaking state, the wireless earpiece acquires the acceleration and the acceleration direction of the acceleration based on the sensitive element in the acceleration sensor, and compares the acceleration and the acceleration direction with the touch information in the preset control rule. If the acceleration and the acceleration direction are consistent with any touch information in the preset control rule, the acceleration and the acceleration direction are determined as the target operation instruction.
Table 2 shows a part of the preset control rule. As shown in Table 2, when the wireless earpiece detects a single shaking to the right, the wireless earpiece determines the present shaking as the target operation instruction. Generally, when the user intentionally shakes the wireless earpiece, the shaking will generate an acceleration, which can control the adjusting magnitude of the volume. The greater the acceleration, the larger/smaller the adjusting magnitude will be. It should be noted that Table 2 is only an example description and is not a specific limitation of the preset control rule.
After determining the target operation instruction, the wireless earpiece converts the acceleration and the acceleration direction into the control information based on the convert element in the acceleration sensor, and converts the control information into the control signal based on the transform circuit in the acceleration sensor.
With reference to Table 2, exemplarily, the user listens to music with the wireless earpiece provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. When the received target operation instruction is continuously shaking to right and left twice, the acceleration sensor converts the target operation instruction into the control signal, and the control signal represents playing the next music. When the received target operation instruction is continuously shaking to right and left for three times, the acceleration sensor converts the target operation instruction into the control signal, and the control signal represents pausing the present song. Table 2 illustrates exemplary examples, but it does not mean that the wireless earpiece in practical applications only has the target operation instructions in Table 2 and their corresponding control signal meanings. The number of target operation instructions, the number of control signals, and the correspondence relationship are not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure.
In the present embodiment, the target operation instruction in the preset control rule is limited for distinguishing between occasional shaking and the intentional shaking action of the user, or for distinguishing between a shaking action for other operation function and the action of shaking the wireless earpiece in the present embodiment. The preset control rule has been configured when the wireless earpiece is delivered from the factory, or the preset control rule may be configured, in a configuring stage, by the user through shaking the wireless earpiece, which is not specifically limited.
In practical applications, when the wireless earpiece shakes, the detect unit can detect the generation of the acceleration, acquire the direction of the acceleration, and transmits it to the acceleration sensor. During the configuration of the target operation instruction, the wireless earpiece can configure the target operation instruction according to shaking data (whether an acceleration is generated, the magnitude of the acceleration, the direction of the acceleration, and the like) returned by the acceleration sensor. In a feasible solution of this embodiment, since the acceleration sensor can not only detect whether gravity acceleration is generated, but also can detect the magnitude of the acceleration, the wireless earpiece can also determine, according to the acquired specific data including the acceleration and the acceleration direction, the shaking degree for distinguishing, thereby enriching the number of the target operation instructions.
Generally, the acceleration generated through softly shaking the wireless earpiece by the user is less than the gravity acceleration generated through hard shaking the wireless earpiece. In the configuration of the target operation instructions, the wireless earpiece may perform segment division based on the magnitude of the acceleration. The shaking action of the user is allowed to be configured to be harder, while the shaking action of another function is configured to be softer, such that two different operations are distinguished. With the continuous increase of functions of the wireless earpiece, the limited types of shaking operations will not meet the increasing number of functions. In this solution, the wireless earpiece provides another way in the dimension of the acceleration magnitude (reflected in the user's usage level, it is the shaking strength), the number of shaking operations is increased in multiples in combination with the existing shaking operations, thereby enriching the operation mode of the wireless earpiece.
