Based on the connection data, the ear bud can be automatically paired with the electronic device without having to configure a connection therewith, such as for legitimacy verification or the like. The bluetooth address may be a Media Access Control (MAC) address.

The sensor 203 may be a distance sensor or a proximity light sensor. The ear bud can determine whether it is worn by the user through the sensor 203. For example, the earbud may utilize a proximity light sensor to detect whether an object is near the earbud to determine whether the earbud is being worn by a user.

A power supply 207 may be used to supply power to the various components contained in the earplugs of the TWS headset. In some embodiments, the power source 207 may be a battery, such as a rechargeable battery.

Typically, TWS headsets are fitted with an earbud cartridge (e.g., 301 shown in FIG. 5). The earplug case may be used to receive left and right earplugs of a TWS headset. As shown in fig. 5 in conjunction with fig. 2, the earplug case 301 may be used to receive the left 200-1 and right 200-2 earplugs of a TWS headset.

After this electrical connection is established, the earpiece box may charge the power supply 207 of the earpieces of the TWS headset. The earplugs of the TWS headset may also be in data communication with the earpiece box after the electrical connection is established. For example, the earplugs of the TWS headset may receive pairing instructions from the earpiece box through the electrical connection. The pairing command is used to instruct the earpieces of the TWS headset to turn on the wireless communication module 204 so that the earpieces of the TWS headset may pair with the electronic device 100 using a corresponding wireless communication protocol, such as bluetooth.

Of course, the earplugs of the TWS headset described above may also not include the input/output interface 208.

For example, the left and right earplugs of a TWS headset may both include the components shown in FIG. 4. Alternatively, the structure of the left and right earplugs of the TWS headset may be different. For example, one earpiece (e.g., the right earpiece) of the TWS headset may include the components shown in fig. 4, while the other earpiece (e.g., the left earpiece) may include other components in fig. 4 in addition to the microphone 206.

First, some terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application are explained.

1. Power state of the ear-bud

The power state of the ear bud includes: a normal state and a low battery state; the low battery state includes a first state and a second state.

Each earpiece of the TWS headset includes a respective power source. Illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 or the right earpiece 200-2, respectively, includes a power source 207, FIG. 4, and the power source 207 may be a rechargeable battery. In the embodiment of the present application, when the electric quantity of the left earplug 200-1 or the right earplug 200-2 is less than or equal to the first threshold value and greater than the second threshold value, the left earplug 200-1 or the right earplug 200-2 is in the first state; when the charge of the left earplug 200-1 or the right earplug 200-2 is less than or equal to the second threshold, the left earplug 200-1 or the right earplug 200-2 is in the second state. The first state is a normal low battery state, and earplugs of the TWS headset are expected to continue to work for a first preset time length; in this state, the user is reminded to charge as soon as possible. Illustratively, the first threshold is 20% and the first predetermined length of time is 30 minutes. The second state is an emergency low-battery state, and the earplugs of the TWS earphone can not work immediately; for example, the TWS headset can only be used for 5 minutes, the current service is quickly interrupted, and the TWS headset may be automatically turned off quickly; in this state, the user is reminded to charge immediately. Illustratively, the second threshold is 5% (to avoid battery drain, damaging the TWS headset, typically retaining some amount of power). In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the electric quantity of the earplug is greater than the first threshold value, the normal state is recorded. Wherein the first threshold is greater than the second threshold.

2. Wearing state of earplug

The wearing state of the earplug comprises: in an ear-like state and an extra-ear state, wherein the extra-ear state comprises an in-box state and an out-of-box state.

When the earplugs of the TWS headset are worn by a user, said to be in an ear-like state; when the earplugs are in the earplug box, the earplugs are called in a box state; when the earplugs are outside the earplug case and are not worn by the user, the out-of-case condition is referred to.

Illustratively, the earplugs of the TWS headset include the sensor 203 of fig. 4, and the earplugs may determine whether or not they are worn by the user through the sensor 203. For example, the sensor 203 is a proximity light sensor that detects whether an object is near the ear bud to determine whether the ear bud is being worn by the user. For example, the sensor 203 includes a proximity light sensor and a temperature sensor, and if the proximity light sensor detects an object near the ear bud and the temperature sensor detects that the temperature near the ear bud is greater than 35 degrees celsius and less than 40 degrees celsius, it is determined that the ear bud is worn by the user.

Illustratively, the earplugs of the TWS headset include the input/output interface 208 of FIG. 4, and the earplugs may determine whether the earplugs are located within the earplug case by detecting whether the input/output interface 208 is coupled to the earplug case. In one implementation, the earplug case charges the earplugs when the earplugs are located within the earplug case.

3. Main earplug and auxiliary earplug

Typically, two earplugs of a TWS headset are a primary earpiece and a secondary earpiece. For example, in the system shown in fig. 2, the primary earpiece is used for message interaction for the TWS headset to make a pairing connection with the electronic device 100. For example, in the system shown in fig. 2B or fig. 2C, the main earpiece may directly interact with the electronic device 100 for control information, and the auxiliary earpiece interacts with the electronic device 100 for control information through the main earpiece. In some cases, the first-worn earplug is defined as the primary earplug; in some cases, the earplug that is first taken out of the earplug case is defined as a primary earplug; in some cases, one primary earplug is predefined; this is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The terminology used in the embodiments of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in the specification of the present application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items; for example, the earphone side and/or the terminal side includes: three conditions are earphone side, terminal side, earphone side and terminal side.

In the use process of the TWS earphone, the battery power of the earplugs can be consumed, and if a user cannot acquire the power in time, the battery power may be consumed, so that the normal use of the TWS earphone is affected. According to the low-power reminding method of the TWS earphone provided by the embodiment of the application, when the power state of at least one of the two earplugs of the TWS earphone is in the low-power state, a prompt is given at the earphone side and/or the terminal side; the user can be actively and timely reminded; the phenomenon that the electric quantity of the earplugs is consumed under the condition that a user is unknown is avoided; the user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, when the TWS headset is powered on, the power of both earplugs is detected to determine if any of the earplugs are in a low power state. The TWS headset is powered on, either to establish a bluetooth connection between the headset and the terminal or to turn on the bluetooth function of the headset. In one implementation, the TWS headset is determined to be powered on if the earpiece box of the TWS headset is detected to be out of box. In one implementation, the TWS headset is determined to be powered on upon detecting that the earplugs of the TWS headset are removed from the earpiece box. In one implementation, the earpiece of the TWS headset is detected as being worn, and the headset is determined to be powered on. In one implementation, the start of the TWS headset is confirmed when the on/off key of the headset is detected to be turned on. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the two earplugs of the TWS headset may be separately powered on. For example: detecting that an earplug is taken out of the earplug box, and determining to be started; or, if an earplug is detected to be worn, the earplug is confirmed to be started; or, when detecting that one earplug is connected with the terminal by Bluetooth, the earphone is determined to be started; or, when the switch key on the earplug or the earplug box is detected to be opened, the power on is confirmed. After the earphone is powered on, if the power state of one earphone is detected to be the first state or the second state, the earphone is confirmed to be in the low-battery state.

In some embodiments, for example, after the headset is powered on or in a use state, a change in the power state of the ear bud is detected, and the ear bud is determined to be in a low battery state. Wherein the power state of the earplug is changed by: from the normal state to the first state, from the first state to the second state, or, in some cases, from the normal state to the second state. In the embodiment of the present application, the state of the power supply is changed to the first state, that is, the state of the power supply is changed from the normal state to the first state; the power state changes to the second state, which means that the power state changes from the first state to the second state, or the power state changes from the normal state to the second state.

It should be noted that, the TWS headset determines that the power state of at least one of the two earpieces is in the low power state, and is not limited to the earpieces of the TWS headset being turned on or the power state of the earpieces being changed, and the above two implementations are only schematic illustrations.

In the following embodiments, the determination that the power supply state of the earplug is changed is taken as an example to be described.

The TWS headset includes a first earpiece and a second earpiece. When the first earpiece determines that the power state of at least one of the first earpiece and the second earpiece is in a low-battery state; the first earplug determines the wearing state of itself. In some embodiments, the worn state of the first earplug is in the ear state and the worn state of the second earplug is in the out-of-the-ear state. The power state of the first earpiece changes.

The wearing state of the earplug (e.g., the left earplug 200-1 in fig. 2) with the changed power state is in the ear state, and the wearing state of the other earplug (e.g., the right earplug 200-2 in fig. 2) is in the out-of-ear state; illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7A, the left earplug is in the ear configuration and the right earplug is in the out-of-the-ear configuration. The earplug (left earplug 200-1) whose power state changes carries out low power prompt.

Wherein, the low power prompt of the earplug can comprise playing the first voice message or playing the second voice message. If the power supply state of the earplug is changed from the normal state to the first state, playing first voice information, wherein the first voice information is used for prompting that the electric quantity of the earplug is low and the earplug needs to be charged as soon as possible. And if the power supply state of the earplug is changed from the first state to the second state or from the normal state to the second state, playing second voice information, wherein the second voice information is used for prompting that the electricity quantity of the earplug is about to be exhausted and the earplug needs to be immediately charged.

In one implementation, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to a first state, playing a first voice message. Illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 plays speech: "this earphone has low electricity, please charge as soon as possible"; or, illustratively, the left ear plug 200-1 plays the voice: "this earphone electric quantity is less than 20%, please charge as soon as possible". The power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to the second state, playing the second voice message. Illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 plays speech: "the earphone is about to exhaust the electricity and please charge immediately"; or, illustratively, the left ear plug 200-1 plays the voice: "this earphone electric quantity is less than 5%, please charge immediately". It should be noted that, the "earphone" in the voice playing of the embodiment of the present application indicates an earplug of the TWS earphone.

In one implementation, the earplug with a changed power state (the left earplug 200-1) takes the power of the other earplug (the right earplug 200-2) and plays the power state or power of the other earplug when a low power prompt is made. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6A, the left earplug 200-1 sends a power request message to the right earplug 200-2 for requesting to acquire power of the right earplug 200-2; the right earpiece 200-2 sends a charge response message to the left earpiece 200-1, including the charge of the right earpiece 200-2. It should be noted that the left earplug and the right earplug can directly perform message interaction, and can also forward a message through the terminal, so as to perform message interaction. Illustratively, in the system shown in FIG. 2A, there may or may not be a control link between the left earpiece 200-1 and the right earpiece 200-2. If there is a control link between the left 200-1 and right 200-2 earplugs, the left 200-1 and right 200-2 earplugs may interact with messages via the control link; if there is no control link between the left 200-1 and right 200-2 earplugs, the left 200-1 or right 200-2 earplugs may send messages to the electronic device 100 for forwarding by the electronic device 100 to the other earpiece. Illustratively, in the system shown in fig. 2B or fig. 2C, there is a control link between the left earpiece 200-1 and the right earpiece 200-2 through which message interaction can occur.

For example, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 is changed to the first state, and the power state of the right earpiece 200-2 is the normal state. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "this earphone electric quantity is low, please charge as soon as possible, please use the right earphone".

For example, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to the first state, and the power state of the right earpiece 200-2 changes to the first state. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the left and right earphones are low in power, please charge as soon as possible".

For example, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to the first state, and the power state of the right earpiece 200-2 changes to the second state. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "this earphone electric quantity is low, and right earphone electric quantity will be exhausted soon, please charge as soon as possible". In one implementation, if the wearing state of the right earplug 200-2 is the out-of-box state, the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the earphone has low power, the right earphone is about to exhaust, please charge the right earphone immediately"; if the wearing state of the right earplug 200-2 is in the box state, which indicates that the right earplug 200-2 is already charged, the left earplug 200-1 performs voice playing: "this earphone electric quantity is low, please charge as soon as possible".

For example, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to the first state, and the right earpiece 200-2 has 35% of its power. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "this earphone electric quantity is low, please charge as soon as possible, and another earphone electric quantity is 35%". Namely, when the power of one earplug is low, the power of the other earplug can be simultaneously prompted.

For example, the power state of the left earphone 200-1 is changed to the second state, and the power state of the right earphone 200-2 is the normal state. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the earphone is about to exhaust the electricity, please charge immediately, please use the right earphone".

For example, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to the second state, and the power state of the right earpiece 200-2 changes to the first state. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the earphone is about to exhaust the electricity, please charge immediately, the right earphone electricity is low".

For example, the power state of the left earphone 200-1 is changed to the second state, and the power state of the right earphone 200-2 is changed to the second state. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the left and right earphones are about to run out of power and please charge immediately". In one implementation, if the wearing state of the right earplug 200-2 is the out-of-box state, the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the left and right earphones are about to exhaust the electricity and please charge immediately"; if the wearing state of the right earplug 200-2 is in the box state, which indicates that the right earplug is charged, the left earplug 200-1 performs voice playing: "this earphone electric quantity will be exhausted, please charge immediately".

For example, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to the second state, and the right earpiece 200-2 has 35% of power. The left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the earphone electric quantity will be exhausted, please charge immediately, another earphone electric quantity is 35%".

In some embodiments, the worn state of the first earplug is in the ear state and the worn state of the second earplug is in the out-of-the-ear state. The power state of the second earpiece changes.

For example, the wearing state of an earplug whose power source state is changed (e.g., the right earplug 200-2 in fig. 2) is an out-of-box state, and the earplug acquires the wearing state of another earplug (e.g., the left earplug 200-1 in fig. 2). Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6B, the right earplug 200-2 sends a wearing state request message to the left earplug 200-1 for requesting to acquire the wearing state of the left earplug 200-1; the left earplug 200-1 transmits a wearing state response message including the wearing state of the left earplug 200-1 to the right earplug 200-2. The right earplug 200-2 determines the wearing state of the left earplug 200-1 to be the out-of-box state according to the wearing state response message.

For example, an earplug with a changed power supply state determines that the wearing state of another earplug is in the ear state; illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7C, the left earplug is in the ear-shaped configuration and the right earplug is in the out-of-the-box configuration. The earplug with the changed power supply state informs the earplug in the ear state of the change of the power supply state of the earplug, and the earplug in the ear state (the left earplug 200-1) prompts the low power, and plays the first voice information or the second voice information corresponding to the earplug in the out-of-ear state. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6C, the earplug in the out-of-box state (right earplug) notifies the earplug in the ear state (left earplug) of a change in the power source state of the present earplug. The right earpiece 200-2 sends a power status change indication message to the left earpiece 200-1, wherein the power status or the electric quantity of the right earpiece 200-2 is included, and then the left earpiece 200-1 plays the first voice message or the second voice message corresponding to the right earpiece 200-2.

Illustratively, the power state of the right earphone 200-2 changes to a first state, and the left earphone 200-1 plays a first voice message corresponding to the right earphone 200-2; the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the right earphone has a low power, please charge as soon as possible". Illustratively, the power state of the right earphone 200-2 changes to the second state, and the left earphone 200-1 plays the second voice message corresponding to the right earphone 200-2; the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "right earphone power is about to be exhausted, please charge immediately". In one implementation, the battery power of the earplug can be played when the earplug in the ear-shaped state prompts low power. Illustratively, the power state of the right earpiece 200-2 changes to the first state, and the left earpiece 200-1 plays: "the right earphone has low power, please charge as soon as possible, and the left earphone has 35% power left".

It should be noted that, when the wearing state of the first earplug is in the ear state, and the wearing state of the second earplug is in the out-of-ear state; the first earpiece is in a low-battery state and the second earpiece is in a low-battery state, both of which may occur simultaneously. Namely, when the wearing state of the first earplug is in the ear state and the wearing state of the second earplug is in the out-of-ear state, the first earplug and the second earplug are both in the low-battery state. In this case, the first earplug can be used for low battery reminder of the first earplug and the second earplug respectively by using the method in the embodiments of the present application. Wherein the earplug in the embodiment in the low battery state comprises: the earplug is currently in a low-battery state, or the earplug changes from a normal state to a low-battery state.

In some embodiments, the first earplug is worn in the ear and the second earplug is worn in the ear. The power state of the first earpiece and/or the second earpiece changes.

The TWS earphone is in the ear state of double ears, namely the wearing state of the left earplug and the right earplug is in the ear state; illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7B, both the left and right earplugs are in the ear configuration.

In one case, the earpiece with the changed power state is the primary earpiece (e.g., the left earpiece 200-1 in FIG. 2); the other earplug is a secondary earplug (e.g., the right earplug 200-2 of fig. 2); the earplug with the changed power supply state prompts low power. Illustratively, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to a first state, playing a first voice message; the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the left earphone has low battery, please charge as soon as possible". Illustratively, the power state of the left earpiece 200-1 changes to the second state, playing the second voice message; the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the left earphone is about to run out of charge, please charge immediately".

In another case, the earplug whose power state changes is a secondary earplug (e.g., the right earplug 200-2 in FIG. 2); the other earplug is the primary earplug (e.g., the left earplug 200-1 in fig. 2). In one implementation, the earplug with the changed power state is used for low power prompt. Illustratively, the power state of the right earpiece 200-2 changes to a first state, playing a first voice message; the right earplug 200-2 plays the voice: "the right earphone has a low power, please charge as soon as possible". Illustratively, the power state of the right earpiece 200-2 changes to the second state, playing the second voice message; the right earplug 200-2 plays the voice: "right earphone power is about to be exhausted, please charge immediately". In another implementation mode, the earplug with the changed power supply state acquires the wearing state of the main earplug, if the main earplug is in the ear state, the auxiliary earplug informs the main earplug of the change of the power supply state of the earplug, and the main earplug prompts low power. Illustratively, the power state of the right earphone 200-2 changes to a first state, and the left earphone 200-1 plays a first voice message corresponding to the right earphone 200-2; for example, the left earpiece 200-1 plays the voice: "the right earphone has a low power, please charge as soon as possible". Illustratively, the power state of the right earphone 200-2 changes to the second state, and the left earphone 200-1 plays the second voice message corresponding to the right earphone 200-2; for example, the left earpiece 200-1 plays the voice: "right earphone power is about to be exhausted, please charge immediately". For an exemplary method for sending the power state change indication message from the left earpiece 200-1 to the right earpiece 200-2, reference may be made to a method for sending the power state change indication message from the right earpiece 200-2 to the left earpiece 200-1 in fig. 6C, which is not described herein again.

In one implementation, when the power state of one earplug changes, the earplug acquires the power of the other earplug, and when the low power prompt is performed, the power or power state of the other earplug can be played. For the method for acquiring the electric quantity of the other earplug, reference may be made to fig. 6A for a method for acquiring the electric quantity of the right earplug by the left earplug, which is not described herein again. Illustratively, the power state of the left earplug 200-1 is changed to the first state, and it is obtained that the electric quantity of the right earplug 200-2 is 35%, and when the left earplug 200-1 plays the first voice message, the electric quantity of the right earplug 200-2 is also played; for example, the left earpiece 200-1 plays the voice: "the left earphone has low power, please charge as soon as possible, and the right earphone has 35% power left". Of course, the power of the right earplug can also be played by the right earplug. Illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 plays speech: "the left earphone has low power, please charge as soon as possible. And the right earpiece 200-2 plays the voice: "right earphone power remaining 35%"; this is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In one implementation, when the power state of one earplug changes, the earplug acquires the power of the other earplug, and if the power states of the two earplugs are both in the first state, the first voice message corresponding to the two earplugs is played, and the voice message prompting charging of the auxiliary earplug is played. The voice playing can be performed by a main earplug or a secondary earplug, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, the power states of the left earplug 200-1 and the right earplug 200-2 are both the first state, the left earplug 200-1 is the main earplug, and the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the left and right earphones are low, please put the right earphone into the earphone box immediately".

In one implementation, when the power state of one earplug is changed, the earplug acquires the power of the other earplug, if the power state of one earplug is changed into the first state and the power state of the other earplug is in the second state, the low power prompt is performed on the two earplugs, and the voice message prompting to charge the earplug with the power state in the second state is played. The earphone which executes the voice playing has the power state as the first state. Illustratively, the power state of the left earphone 200-1 changes to the first state, the power state of the right earphone 200-2 changes to the second state, and the left earphone 200-1 plays the voice: "the left earphone is low, the right earphone is about to exhaust, please put the right earphone into the earphone box immediately".

In some embodiments, the worn state of the first earplug (e.g., the left earplug 200-1 of FIG. 2) is in the ear state and the worn state of the second earplug (e.g., the right earplug 200-2 of FIG. 2) is in the out-of-the-box state; illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7C, the left earplug is in the ear-shaped configuration and the right earplug is in the out-of-the-box configuration.

In one case, when the power state of the first earpiece changes, illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 in fig. 2; the earplug can acquire the wearing state of the second earplug (the right earplug 200-2 in fig. 2). The method for acquiring the wearing state of the second earplug by the first earplug can refer to the method for acquiring the wearing state of the left earplug by the right earplug in fig. 6B, and details are not repeated here.

When the first earplug plays the first voice message or the second voice message corresponding to the first earplug, box entering prompt voice message is also played, and the box entering prompt voice message is used for prompting that the earplugs in the state outside the box are placed in the earplug box. Illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 plays speech: "this earphone electric quantity is low, please put the earphone that does not use into the earplug box". That is, the user can be prompted to put unused earplugs into the earplug box while the low power is prompted.

In one instance, when the power state of the second earpiece changes, illustratively, the right earpiece 200-2 of fig. 2; the earplug can acquire the wearing state of the first earplug (the left earplug 200-1 in fig. 2). The second earplug determines that the wearing state of the second earplug is an out-of-box state, determines that the first earplug is in-ear state, and sends a power state change indication message to the first earplug, wherein the power state or electric quantity of the second earplug is included, and then the first earplug plays first voice information or second voice information corresponding to the second earplug.

When the first earplug plays the first voice message or the second voice message corresponding to the second earplug, the box-entering prompt voice message is also played. Illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 plays speech: "the right earphone has low power, please put the unused earphone into the earphone box". That is, while prompting that the other earplug is low, the user can also be prompted to place an unused earplug into the earplug case.

In one case, the earplugs in the eared state may also simply prompt the user to place an unused earplug (in the out-of-the-ear state) into the earplug case in the absence of a low battery indication that a low battery indication is desired (no change in the power state of the first and second earplugs). In some embodiments, the wearing state of the earplug with the changed power state (e.g., the left earplug 200-1 in fig. 2) is an out-of-ear state, the earplug acquires the wearing state of another earplug (e.g., the right earplug 200-1 in fig. 2), and determines that the wearing state of the other earplug is also the out-of-ear state; illustratively, as shown in fig. 7D, both the left and right earplugs are in an out-of-the-ear condition. The earplug whose power state has changed registers the low battery event.

In some embodiments, when an earplug detects that its wearing state changes from an out-of-the-ear state to an in-the-ear state, if there is a record of a low battery event for the earplug, its current power state is detected, and a low battery indication is made based on the detected power state. Illustratively, the left ear plug 200-1 detects that its wearing state is changed from the out-of-ear state to the in-ear state, and there is a record of a low battery event, and detects that the current power state is the first state, the left ear plug 200-1 plays the first voice message; the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: the left earphone is low in electric quantity, the right earphone is required to be replaced, and the left earphone is placed in the earphone box, or the left earphone is low in electric quantity and is required to be charged as soon as possible. In one implementation, when one earplug detects that the wearing state of the earplug is changed from the out-of-ear state to the ear state, the earplug acquires the power of the other earplug, and the earplug with the changed wearing state carries out low power prompt, the power or power state of the other earplug can be played. Illustratively, the left earpiece 200-1 plays speech: "the left earphone has low power, the right earphone has 35% power left, please change the right earphone". In one implementation, if the wearing state of the other earplug is the out-of-ear state, the earplug plays the electric quantity or power state of the other earplug when the earplug prompts low electric quantity; if the wearing state of the other earplug is in the ear state, the earplug does not play the power state or the power state of the other earplug when the low power prompt is carried out.

In some embodiments, when one earplug detects that its wearing state changes from an out-of-the-ear state to an in-the-ear state, the earplug obtains the wearing state of the other earplug, and if the wearing state of the other earplug is the out-of-the-ear state and there is a record of a low battery event with the other earplug, obtains the power state or the battery level of the other earplug. And the earplug with the changed wearing state prompts the low power according to the acquired power state or electric quantity of the other earplug. Illustratively, the left earplug 200-1 detects that the wearing state thereof is changed from the out-of-the-ear state to the ear state, the left earplug 200-1 acquires that the wearing state of the right earplug 200-2 is the out-of-the-ear state, and acquires that the record of the low battery event exists in the right earplug 200-2. The left earplug 200-1 acquires that the current power state of the right earplug 200-2 is a first state, and the left earplug 200-1 plays first voice information; the left earplug 200-1 plays the voice: "the right earphone has a low power, please charge as soon as possible".

In some embodiments, when any one of the two earplugs of the TWS headset performs the low battery indication, for example, when the first earplug plays the first voice message or the second voice message corresponding to the first earplug, or when the first earplug plays the first voice message or the second voice message corresponding to the second earplug, the voice message of the battery capacity of the earplug box may also be played. In one implementation, the earplug box power is obtained when the power state of the earplugs changes. For example, messages may be exchanged between the earplugs and the earplug box via the control link. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6D, the earplug sends a power request message to the earplug box for requesting to acquire the power of the earplug box; the ear bud box sends a power response message to the ear bud including the power of the ear bud box. Illustratively, the wearing state of the left earplug 200-1 is in the ear state, and the power state thereof is changed to the first state; the electric quantity of the left earplug 200-1 obtained to the earplug box 301 is 50%; the left earpiece 200-1 plays the first voice message and plays the power of the earpiece box 301. For example, the left earpiece 200-1 plays voice messages: "left earphone is low in power, please put into the earplug box, the earplug box has 50% of remaining power".

According to the low-power reminding method of the TWS earphone provided by the embodiment of the application, when any one earplug of the TWS earphone is in a low-power state, low-power reminding is carried out on the side of the earplug; the electric quantity condition of each earplug of the TWS earphone can be timely and accurately prompted to a user; the normal use of the TWS earphone is prevented from being influenced by the fact that the battery power of the earplugs is consumed.

It should be noted that the first earplug in the embodiments of the present application may be a primary earplug in a TWS headset, and may also be a secondary earplug in the TWS headset, and accordingly, the second earplug may be a secondary earplug or a primary earplug. The various embodiments of the present application are not limited to the first and second earplugs.

The embodiment of the application also provides a low-power reminding method for the TWS earphone, and when any one earplug of the TWS earphone is in a low-power state, if the TWS earphone is connected with the terminal through Bluetooth, low-power reminding can be carried out on the terminal side. And the terminal side can also carry out corresponding reminding according to the current power state of the TWS earphone. When the power state of the earphone is in a first state or is changed into the first state, the terminal adopts a first mode to remind; when the power state of the earphone is in the second state or is changed into the second state, the terminal adopts a second mode to remind. Wherein the second mode is significantly more urgent than the first mode because the second state is less charged than the first state, making it easier for the user to receive the reminder. For example, the terminal prompting the low power may include displaying a low power notification message or displaying a low power notification window. If the power state of the earplug is the first state or changes from the normal state to the first state, the low power notification message is displayed. If the power state of the ear bud is or changes to the second state (from the normal state or the first state to the second state), a low battery notification window is displayed. The low-power prompt window is more obvious than the low-power notification information, namely, compared with the low-power notification information, a user can see the low-power prompt window more easily.

In one implementation, the power low notification information may be displayed at an upper boundary of the terminal display interface. The low-battery prompt window can be displayed in the middle of the terminal display interface.

In one implementation, the area occupied by the low power prompt window on the display interface is larger than the area occupied by the low power notification information on the display interface.

In one implementation manner, the time length of the low-power-consumption notification information displayed on the display interface is a first preset value, and the time length of the low-power-consumption prompt window displayed on the display interface is a second preset value, wherein the first preset value is smaller than the second preset value.

In one implementation, the duration of the low-pass information of the electric quantity displayed on the display interface is a first preset value, and then the low-pass information of the electric quantity automatically disappears from the display interface. And the low battery prompt window does not automatically disappear from the display interface, but needs to be manually closed by the user. For example: the low battery prompt window comprises a close button; in the display process of the power low prompt window, the terminal responds to the click operation of the user on the close button to close the power low prompt window (namely the power low prompt window disappears on the display interface).

It should be noted that the information displayed by the power low-pass notification information or the power low prompt window may also be played by the terminal in a voice manner, and the embodiment of the present application takes the example where the display screen of the terminal displays the power low-pass notification information or displays the power low prompt window as an example.

As shown in fig. 8, the TWS headset is connected to the terminal via bluetooth, and when any one of the earpieces of the TWS headset determines that the power state of at least one of the earpieces is in the low power state, a power state prompt message is sent to the terminal for indicating that the power state of at least one of the earpieces is in the low power state. In one implementation, the power status cue message includes a current power status of the at least one earpiece, and in another implementation, the power status cue message includes a current charge of the at least one earpiece.

It should be noted that in some cases, the earpieces may directly send power status prompt messages to the terminal, such as the left earplug 200-1 or the right earplug 200-2 in fig. 2A, the left earplug 200-1 in fig. 2B, and the left earplug 200-1 in fig. 2C. In some cases, the earpiece is forwarded by another earpiece, sending power status prompt information to the terminal, such as the right earpiece 200-2 in fig. 2B and the right earpiece 200-2 in fig. 2C.

And the terminal receives the power state prompt information sent by the TWS earphone and carries out low-power reminding according to the power state of at least one earplug.

The terminal determines the current screen state. The screen states of the terminal include a bright screen state and a dead screen state. In some embodiments, if the terminal is in a bright screen state, a low power alert is performed. If the terminal is in the screen-off state, recording a low-power event, wherein the low-power event comprises the identification of the earplug in the low-power state and the power state of the earplug in the low-power state.

In some embodiments, the terminal side is in a bright screen state, the power state of the at least one earplug is changed from a normal state to a first state, the terminal receives a power state prompt message, and the power state prompt message indicates that the current power state of the at least one earplug is the first state, and then a first notification message is displayed on the display interface, and the first notification message is used for prompting that the earplug with the changed power state is low in electric quantity and needs to be charged as soon as possible. Illustratively, the display interface (e.g., display screen 194 in FIG. 3) of electronic device 100 displays a desktop interface, as shown in FIG. 9A; the left earplug 200-1 changes from the normal state to the first state, and the left earplug 200-1 sends power status prompt information to the electronic device 100, where the power status prompt information indicates that the current power status of the left earplug 200-1 is the first state; after the electronic device 100 receives the power status prompt message, as shown in fig. 9B, a first notification message 901 is displayed on the desktop interface.

That is, the terminal may alert as long as it is determined that one of the earplugs is low.

In some embodiments, the terminal may perform voice reminding in addition to displaying the prompt message in the above-mentioned various manners. For example, the terminal may play a voice over its own speaker to prompt the user about the power status of the TWS headset. When the electric quantity of the TWS earphone is in different states, different voices can be played for reminding.

According to the low-power reminding method of the TWS earphone provided by the embodiment of the application, when the power state of any one earplug of the TWS earphone changes, low-power reminding is carried out on the terminal side; the electric quantity condition of each earplug of the TWS earphone can be timely and accurately prompted to a user; the normal use of the TWS earphone is prevented from being influenced by the fact that the battery power of the earplugs is consumed.

And if the current setting result comprises that the function of prompting the low power of the earphone side is started, executing the relevant steps of the earphone side prompting in the TWS earphone low power prompting method of the embodiment. And if the current setting result comprises that the terminal side low power prompting function is started, executing the relevant steps of the terminal side prompting in the TWS earphone low power prompting method of the embodiment.

In one implementation, as shown in fig. 10C, the "power prompt" option of the bluetooth setting interface may further include a "prompt setting" option 1004, and in response to a click operation (e.g., a click operation) of the "prompt setting" option 1004 by a user, the display interface displays a prompt setting interface shown in fig. 10D. As shown in fig. 10D, the prompt setting interface includes a power slider 1011, and in response to a drag operation of the user on a circular button in the power slider 1011, the terminal determines a value of the second threshold according to a position of the circular button. For example, the position of the circular button corresponds to 30% of the power, and the second threshold is 30%. Further, the terminal may notify the earphone side of the current value of the second threshold, and the earphone side updates the second threshold. In performing the TWS headset low battery alert method of the above embodiment, the updated second threshold is used. The power slider 1011 and the circular button in fig. 10D are examples, and may be replaced by other common forms.

In some embodiments, the first earplug (e.g., the main earplug) may obtain the power of the second earplug (e.g., the sub-earplug) according to a predetermined period, and if the first earplug determines that the difference between the power of the first earplug and the power of the second earplug is greater than or equal to a preset threshold (a third threshold), a third voice message is played, and the third voice message is used for prompting the charging of the earplug with the lower power. For the method for acquiring the electric quantity of the secondary earplug by the primary earplug, reference may be made to fig. 6A for a method for acquiring the electric quantity of the right earplug by the left earplug, which is not described herein again.

The first earplug determines the wearing state of the first earplug, and if the wearing state of the first earplug is in the ear state and the wearing state of the second earplug is in the out-of-ear state, the first earplug plays the third voice message.

If the TWS earphone is in the ear state of two ears, namely the wearing state of the left earplug and the right earplug is in the ear state; illustratively, as shown in fig. 7B, both the left and right earplugs are in the ear-shaped state, the left earplug being the main earplug; in one implementation, the third voice message is played by the master earpiece; in another implementation, the third voice message is played by the remaining high-power one of the left and right earplugs.

In some embodiments, any one of the earplugs of the TWS headset may also acquire the amount of power of the earplug case (earplug case 301); when the first earplug plays the voice information, the electric quantity of the earplug box can be played.

In some embodiments, the wearing state of the first earplug is an out-of-ear state, the first earplug determines that the difference in the power of the first earplug and the second earplug is greater than or equal to a third threshold, and the first earplug records an event of a large power difference.

In some embodiments, when the first earplug detects that the wearing state of the first earplug is changed from the out-of-ear state to the in-ear state, the difference between the current electric quantities of the first earplug and the second earplug is obtained. And if the obtained difference value of the electric quantities of the first earplug and the second earplug is larger than or equal to a third threshold value, the first earplug plays third voice information.

In some embodiments, the difference between the electric quantities of the main earplug and the auxiliary earplug of the TWS headset is greater than or equal to a third threshold, and if the TWS headset is bluetooth connected to the terminal, any one of the earplugs sends a prompt message indicating that the difference between the electric quantities of the first earplug and the second earplug is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. After the terminal receives the prompt message of the large electric quantity difference value, if the terminal is in a bright screen state, the prompt message of the large electric quantity difference value is displayed on a display interface for prompting. Illustratively, the third threshold is 40%. The electric quantity of the left earplug 200-1 is 23%, the electric quantity of the right earplug 200-2 acquired by the left earplug 200-1 is 70%, the difference value between the electric quantities of the left earplug 200-1 and the right earplug 200-2 is greater than or equal to the third threshold, and after the terminal receives the prompt message indicating that the electric quantity difference value is large, the prompt message 90d indicating that the electric quantity difference value is large is displayed on the desktop interface as shown in fig. 9J.

And after the terminal receives the prompt message of the large electric quantity difference, if the terminal is in a screen extinguishing state, recording an event of the large electric quantity difference. And when the terminal is switched from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, determining whether the record of the event with the large electric quantity difference exists. If there is a record of a large difference in power, the terminal obtains the current power of both earplugs and determines the difference in power of the current first and second earplugs. And if the difference value of the current electric quantities of the two earplugs is larger than or equal to the third threshold value, displaying the informing information of large electric quantity difference value on a display interface according to the method that the terminal receives the prompting information of large electric quantity difference value in a bright screen state.

In some embodiments, after receiving the prompt message of large power difference, the terminal determines the current screen state. And if the terminal is in the screen-off state, the terminal executes the screen-on action, and displays the notification information of the large electric quantity difference on the display interface according to the method that the terminal receives the notification information of the large electric quantity difference in the screen-on state.

In one implementation manner, the duration of displaying the notification information with a large power difference value in the bright screen state by the terminal is a fifth preset duration, for example, the fifth preset duration is 1 s. After that, the terminal re-enters the screen-off state.

Further, in one implementation, the terminal records an event of a large power difference. And then, responding to the screen unlocking operation of a user, if the terminal determines that the event with the large electric quantity difference exists, respectively acquiring the current electric quantities of the left earplug and the right earplug, and displaying the notification information with the large electric quantity difference according to the current electric quantities of the two earplugs.

According to the low-power reminding method of the TWS earphone, when the electric quantity difference of the two earplugs is large, the lower earplug of the electric quantity is prompted to be placed into the earplug box for charging, and the situation that the electric quantities of the two earphones are exhausted to influence the normal use of the TWS earphone is avoided.

In some embodiments, the state of charge of the earplug case changes, for example, the state of charge of the earplug case is less than or equal to a fourth threshold, which is 20% for example; in one implementation, an earbud box acquires a wearing state of earbuds of a TWS headset; for example, messages may be exchanged between the earplugs and the earplug box via the control link.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6E, the earplug case transmits wearing state request messages to the left and right earplugs, respectively, and receives wearing state response messages from the left and right earplugs, respectively, thereby acquiring wearing states of the two earplugs. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the sequence of the earplug cases to obtain the wearing states of the two earplugs.

In one case, both earplugs of the TWS headset are in an ear state, and the earplug box informs the main earplug or any one of the earplugs that the electricity state of the earplug box changes; the notified earplug plays the fourth voice message. In one case, both earplugs of the TWS headset are in an out-of-the-ear state, and the earplug case does not notify the earplugs.

In one implementation, the ear bud cartridge sends a low battery indication to the terminal. For example, the earplug box is connected with the terminal through Bluetooth, and the earplug box directly sends low-battery indication information to the terminal. Or the earplug box is connected with the TWS earphone in a Bluetooth mode, the TWS earphone is connected with the terminal in a Bluetooth mode, and the earplug box sends the low-power indication information to the terminal through the TWS earphone. After the terminal receives the indication information of low electric quantity of the earplug box, if the information is in a bright screen state, the information of low electric quantity of the earplug box is displayed on a display interface. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 11, the earbud cartridge charge low notification message 1101 is displayed on the desktop interface. If the terminal is in the screen-off state, recording the low battery event of the earplug box. And when the terminal is switched from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, determining whether the record of the low-battery event of the earplug box exists or not. If there is a record of an earplug box low battery event, the terminal obtains the current battery of the earplug box. And if the electric quantity of the earplug box is smaller than or equal to the fourth threshold, displaying the low-electricity-quantity informing information of the earplug box on a display interface according to a method that the terminal is in a bright screen state and receives the low-electricity-quantity indicating information of the earplug box.
