Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a control method according to a first embodiment of the present application is provided, and the method may be applied to a connection device capable of establishing a data connection with an interaction device and an electronic device and transmitting data to the interaction device and the electronic device, such as an earphone bin for transmitting state information and instructions of an earphone and a notebook, a handle box for transmitting game frames for a game handle and a game terminal, and so on. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for reducing the energy consumption of the interaction device.
Specifically, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps:
Step 101: in case the interaction means establishes a first data connection with the electronic device via the connection means, the connection means monitors the connection status of the interaction means, at least based on the connection status characterizing the disconnection of the first data connection, step 102 is performed, and if the connection status characterizes the first data connection not to be disconnected, step 101 is continued to monitor continuously the connection status of the interaction means on the first data connection with the connection means.
The first data connection may be used to establish a second data connection between the interaction device and the connection device, and thus between the interaction device and the electronic device. The second data connection is used for transmitting a data stream between the interaction means and the connection means, i.e. between the interaction means and the electronics via the connection means.
In particular, the connection power consumption of the first data connection is lower than the connection power consumption of the second data connection and/or the communication type of the first data connection is the same as the communication type of the second data connection. The communication type is also understood herein to be a communication type, for example, the first data connection is a bluetooth low energy BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connection and the second data connection is a classical bluetooth connection BT (Classic Bluetooth). In a specific implementation, the BLE bluetooth module and the classical bluetooth module are loaded in the interaction device, the connection device and the electronic equipment, the BLE connection can be established between the electronic equipment of the interaction device through the connection device based on the BLE bluetooth module, and after the BLE connection is established, the BLE connection can be used for transmitting control instructions and state information between the interaction device and the electronic equipment, wherein the control instructions can comprise connection instructions and/or reset instructions transmitted by the electronic equipment to the interaction device, the connection instructions are used for indicating the interaction device to establish second data connection with the electronic equipment, and the reset instructions are used for indicating the interaction device to reset configuration information on the interaction device. The state information refers to device state information transmitted from the interaction device to the electronic equipment, and may include: any one or any more of electric quantity state information, connection state information and charging state information of the interaction device, wherein the connection state information refers to whether the interaction device and the electronic equipment are connected with each other through the connection device, the charging state information refers to whether the electronic equipment charges the interaction device through the connection device, and the electric quantity state information refers to information of the current residual electric quantity state of the interaction device and can be represented by numerical values such as percentages. Further, based on the classical bluetooth module and the established BLE connection, a classical bluetooth connection can be established between the interaction device and the electronic device through the connection device, the classical bluetooth connection being used for transmitting a data stream, such as a sound signal or a game frame, between the interaction device and the electronic device.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, a BLE connection is established between the earphone and the earphone bin, so that a BLE connection can be established between the earphone and the notebook through the earphone bin, and the BLE connection can be used for establishing a classical bluetooth connection between the earphone and the earphone bin, and further establishing a classical bluetooth connection between the earphone and the notebook through the earphone bin, so that a sound signal of the notebook can be output in the earphone. Of course, other headphones or other output devices can establish BLE connection and classical bluetooth connection with the notebook in this way to output sound signals in the notebook.
It should be noted that, the connection device may establish a first data connection and a second data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device through the built-in communication module, so that data transmission may be performed between the interaction device and the electronic device through the connection device. For example, a bluetooth module is arranged in the handle case, and the handle case respectively establishes BLE connection and classical bluetooth connection between the game terminal and the game handle through the bluetooth module, so that data transmission is realized between the game handle and the game terminal through the handle case.
In addition, the connecting device can also provide a containing space for the interaction device, and the interaction device can be stored in the containing space. At this time, when the interaction device is placed in the accommodation space formed by the connection device, the connection device has two states of closed accommodation space and open accommodation space. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the earphone is in a state in which the earphone house is in the closed state of the house cover of the earphone house, and the earphone is in a state in which the earphone house is in the open state of the house cover of the earphone house.
The connection device may be configured as an independent electronic device, or may be built in the electronic device. For example, the earphone house may be provided in a separate notebook, or the earphone house may be connected in the notebook through a universal serial bus USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, as shown in fig. 4.
In this embodiment, the connection device may further establish an electrical connection between the interaction device and the electronic device, so that the electronic device charges the interaction device through the connection device. Specifically, the connection device can establish electrical connection with the electronic device in a wired or wireless manner, for example, the earphone bin is connected with the notebook through a USB interface, the USB interface realizes electrical connection between the earphone bin and the notebook, or the earphone bin is connected with the notebook in a wireless manner, and the notebook provides electrical energy for the earphone bin in a spaced or contact manner. Based on the above, a charging circuit is arranged in the connection device, and the charging circuit obtains electric energy from the electronic equipment in which the charging circuit is arranged in a wired mode or a wireless mode and outputs the electric energy to the interaction device in the connection device. For example, a charging circuit is arranged in the earphone bin, and the charging circuit obtains electric energy from a notebook where the charging circuit is located through a USB interface and outputs the electric energy to the earphone in the earphone bin.
Specifically, the connection device of the connection device monitoring interaction device may have a plurality of different implementation manners, as follows:
in one implementation, the connection device may determine whether the interaction device still maintains the first data connection with the connection device by monitoring device status information transmitted by the interaction device. If no device status information of the interaction device is received on the connection device for a certain period of time, it may be determined that the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device is broken. For example, during the process that the earphone establishes a BLE connection with the earphone bin, the earphone updates earphone state information to the earphone bin according to a certain frequency, and if the earphone state information updated by the earphone cannot be received in 5 minutes on the earphone bin, the earphone bin can determine that the earphone possibly breaks the BLE connection with the earphone bin due to moving to a position beyond the connection range.
In another implementation, the connection device may determine whether the interaction device is to be powered off resulting in a disconnection of the first data connection with the connection device by monitoring a power off command of the interaction device. The shutdown instruction is sent to the connection device by the interaction device or the electronic equipment under the condition that the interaction device meets the shutdown condition, and the shutdown condition can be the condition that the interaction device is low in power, full power or the electronic equipment is powered off in the charging process. If the connection device receives a shutdown instruction transmitted by the interaction device, it may be determined that the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device is about to be disconnected. For example, the headset may send a shutdown command to the headset bin when the notebook is powered off during low battery, full battery, or charging, and the headset bin may determine that the headset may be about to break the BLE connection with the headset bin due to the power off.
In another implementation, the connection device may monitor its connection configuration information to determine whether the interaction device has established a first data connection with the connection device. The connection configuration information of the connection device includes information of all devices or apparatuses connected by the connection device through the first data connection, such as an interaction device and an electronic device. If there is no content such as a device identification or connection identification of the interacting device in the connection configuration information of the connecting device, it may be determined that the first data connection between the interacting device and the connecting device has been broken. For example, when the earphone has a BLE connection with the earphone bin, the earphone may be carried and moved to an area beyond the connection range of the earphone bin, the earphone bin continuously monitors own connection configuration information, if a bluetooth identifier of the earphone is contained therein, it may be determined that the earphone has a BLE connection with the earphone bin continuously, and if no bluetooth identifier of the earphone is already contained therein, the earphone bin may determine that the earphone may have disconnected the BLE connection with the earphone bin due to movement to a position beyond the connection range.
Step 102: outputting a first instruction.
The first instruction is used for indicating the interaction device to restore the first data connection with the electronic equipment through the connection device according to the received first instruction.
In the case that the connection device detects that the first data connection with the interaction device is disconnected, the first instruction is output to instruct the interaction device receiving the first instruction to restore the first data connection with the connection device, so that the interaction device restores the first data connection with the electronic equipment.
Specifically, when the connecting device outputs the first instruction, the connecting device may be implemented in the following different manners:
In one embodiment, the connection device continuously outputs the first command at a preset second output frequency for a second period of time, so that the connection device can continuously output a plurality of first commands for the second period of time. The second output frequency and the second duration can be set according to requirements, and if the second output frequency is set to be a higher frequency value, higher connection recovery efficiency can be realized for a user; if the second output frequency is set to a lower frequency value and the second duration is set to a lower value, the energy consumption of the connection means may be reduced for the user; if the second time period is set to a longer value, a more reliable connection service can be provided to the user. For example, the earphone bin continuously broadcasts the first instruction at a frequency of once every 5 seconds for 2 hours when the BLE connection of the earphone is found to be broken, as shown in fig. 5.
In another implementation, the connection device may output only one first instruction for the second period of time. For example, the connection device outputs a first command for a second period of time after detecting that the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device is broken. For example, the earphone bin broadcasts a first instruction after 20 minutes when it finds that the BLE connection of the earphone is broken, as shown in fig. 6.
Based on the above implementation, after receiving the first instruction broadcast by the connection device, the interaction device may establish a first data connection with the connection device according to the instruction content included in the first instruction, such as the device identifier of the connection device, so that the interaction device may restore the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device. For example, when the earphone bin finds that the BLE connection of the earphone is disconnected, the earphone bin continuously broadcasts the first instruction at a frequency of once every 5 seconds within 2 hours, and if the earphone is started or moves back to the connection range of the earphone bin, the earphone can receive the first instruction broadcasted by the earphone bin, and further establish the BLE connection with the earphone bin according to the bluetooth identification of the earphone bin in the first instruction, thereby recovering the BLE connection with the notebook, on the basis of which the earphone can establish the classical bluetooth connection with the notebook, and further realize data transmission, as shown in fig. 7.
As can be seen from the foregoing, in the control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application, when the interaction device and the electronic device establish the first data connection through the connection device, the interaction device monitors the connection state of the interaction device, and further outputs the first instruction at least when the connection state indicates that the first data connection is disconnected, so as to instruct the interaction device to resume the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device according to the received first instruction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the connection device is used to output the instruction, so as to restore the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device, and the instruction broadcast of the interaction device is not relied on in the process, so that the energy consumption of the interaction device is reduced.
Based on the above implementation, if the connection state characterizes the first connection disconnection in step 101, the method in this embodiment may further comprise the following steps, as shown in fig. 8:
step 103: the connection device monitors whether a second instruction sent by the interaction device is received, and if the connection device does not receive the second instruction within the first duration, step 102 is executed.
Wherein the second instruction is for instructing the connection means to resume the first data connection between the interaction means and the first device.
It can be seen that after the first data connection between the interactive device and the connection device is broken, the interactive device attempts to restore the first data connection with the connection device by outputting a second instruction for a first period of time. If the second instruction is transmitted to the connecting device in the first duration, the connecting device can restore the first data connection with the interaction device according to the second instruction, and then the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic equipment is restored; if no second instruction is transmitted to the connection device in the first time period, the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device cannot be restored, at this time, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the interaction device, the connection device outputs the first instruction to try to restore the first data connection with the interaction device, and if the interaction device receives the first instruction output by the connection device in the second time period, the interaction device can restore the first data connection with the connection device according to the first instruction, thereby restoring the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic equipment.
Specifically, when the interaction device outputs the second instruction, the interaction device may be implemented in the following different manners:
In one implementation, the interaction device continuously outputs the second instructions according to a preset first output frequency in a first duration, so that the interaction device can continuously output a plurality of second instructions in the first duration. The first output frequency and the first duration can be set according to requirements, and if the first output frequency is set to be a higher frequency value, higher connection recovery efficiency can be realized for a user; if the first output frequency is set to a lower frequency value and the first time period is set to a lower value, the energy consumption of the interaction device can be reduced for the user; if the first time period is set to a longer value, a more reliable connection service can be provided to the user. For example, when the earphone finds that the BLE connection with the earphone bin is broken, the earphone continuously broadcasts the second instruction at a frequency of once every 3 seconds for 15 minutes, as shown in fig. 9.
In another implementation, the interaction device may output only one second instruction for the first duration. For example, the interaction device outputs a second instruction over a first period of time after detecting that the first data connection between the connection device and the interaction device is broken. For example, when the earphone finds that the BLE connection with the earphone bin is broken, the earphone broadcasts a second instruction once after 15 minutes, as shown in fig. 10.
For example, the earphone is carried and moved by the user in the use process, the earphone is moved out of the connection range to disconnect the BLE connection with the earphone bin, namely, the user carries the earphone to leave the vicinity of the notebook, at this time, the earphone bin waits for a second instruction broadcasted by the earphone, meanwhile, the earphone continuously broadcasts the second instruction according to the frequency of once every 3 seconds in 15 minutes, if the earphone moves back into the connection range of the earphone bin, the earphone bin can receive the second instruction broadcasted by the earphone, and resumes the BLE connection with the earphone according to the Bluetooth identifier of the earphone bin in the second instruction, if the earphone does not move back into the connection range of the earphone bin, the earphone bin cannot receive the second instruction broadcasted by the earphone in 15 minutes, at this time, the earphone bin can continuously broadcast the first instruction according to the frequency of once every 5 seconds in the next 2 hours, if the earphone moves back into the connection range of the notebook, namely, the user carries the first instruction broadcasted by the earphone bin, and then the BLE connection with the earphone bin is established according to the Bluetooth identifier of the earphone bin in the first instruction, thereby resuming the BLE connection with the earphone bin in the Bluetooth identifier of the earphone bin, the BLE connection with the earphone bin is resumed, and then the BLE connection with the Bluetooth can be established on the classical basis, as shown in the Bluetooth connection between the Bluetooth connection with the notebook can be established with the Bluetooth device 11.
In one implementation, after step 102, that is, after the connection device outputs the first instruction, the present embodiment may further include the following steps, as shown in fig. 12:
step 104: the connection means monitors whether the first data connection is restored, and if the first data connection is not restored within the second time period, step 105 is performed, whereas if the first data connection is restored, step 105 may be performed directly.
Step 105: the connection device stops outputting the first instruction.
That is, the connection means may stop outputting the first instruction in case the first data connection is not restored but the first instruction has been broadcast for more than the second period of time, to avoid excessive power consumption.
In another implementation, if it is detected in step 104 that the first data connection has not been restored within the second time period, step 102 may also be performed again, until the first data connection is restored, and step 105 may be performed again, as shown in fig. 13. Therefore, the connecting device can continuously broadcast the first instruction until the interaction device and the connecting device recover the first data connection, and the processing performance of the connecting device is consumed, but the connecting device can be ensured to immediately recover the first data connection with the interaction device once the interaction device enters the connection range of the connecting device and is in a starting drill bit, so that the connection recovery timeliness is ensured.
For example, the earphone is carried and moved by the user in the use process, because the earphone moves out of the connection range, the BLE connection between the earphone bin and the earphone is disconnected, namely, the user carries the earphone and leaves the vicinity of the notebook, at the moment, the earphone bin waits for a second instruction broadcasted by the earphone, meanwhile, the earphone continuously broadcasts the second instruction according to the frequency of once every 3 seconds in 15 minutes, if the earphone does not move back into the connection range of the earphone bin, the earphone bin can not receive the second instruction broadcasted by the earphone in 15 minutes, at the moment, the earphone bin can continuously broadcast the first instruction according to the frequency of once every 5 seconds in the next 2 hours, if the earphone moves back into the connection range of the earphone bin, namely, the user carries the earphone and returns to the vicinity of the notebook, the earphone can receive the first instruction broadcasted by the earphone bin, and then the BLE connection between the earphone bin and the earphone bin is established according to the Bluetooth identifier of the earphone bin in the first instruction, at the moment, the earphone bin can stop broadcasting the first instruction, and if the earphone does not always move back into the connection range of the earphone bin, at the moment, the earphone bin can continuously broadcast the first instruction according to the first instruction after the first instruction in 2 hours, the earphone bin is stopped, and the BLE connection between the earphone bin and the earphone bin is stopped, and the first instruction is continuously broadcasted, and the earphone bin is continuously, and the BLE connection is continuously shown in the first bin, the earphone bin is stopped.
Further, the following steps may be included in the present embodiment after step 105, that is, after the connection device stops outputting the first instruction, as shown in fig. 15:
step 106: the connection device triggers the electronic equipment to output prompt information.
The prompting information is used for prompting the input operation of connection on the application program corresponding to the interaction device.
That is, in order to avoid excessively high power consumption, after the connection device stops outputting the first instruction if the first data connection is not restored within the second period of time, the electronic device may output a prompt message to the user to prompt the user to perform an input operation of connection configuration on a configuration interface of an application program, where the application program may be a program installed on a terminal of the user, such as a mobile phone, for the interaction device, and includes the configuration interface, such as a connection configuration interface of an earphone shown in fig. 16, so that, after the second period of time, since the connection device has stopped outputting the first instruction and the interaction device does not output the second instruction any more, in order to be able to establish the first data connection, the user may perform an operation of connection configuration on the interaction device on the configuration interface of the interaction device, and then manually establish the first data connection between the interaction device and the connection device.
In addition, the user may also perform a disconnection operation on the application of the interaction device between the interaction device and the connection device or other apparatus.
For example, after the earphone bin may stop broadcasting the first instruction, the earphone bin may output a prompt message on the notebook to prompt the user to perform connection setting on the paired earphone on the mobile phone, so that the earphone can establish BLE connection with the notebook again through the earphone bin, as shown in fig. 17.
Referring to fig. 18, a schematic structural diagram of a control device according to a second embodiment of the present application may be configured in a connection device capable of establishing a data connection with an interaction device and an electronic device and transmitting data to the interaction device and the electronic device, such as a headset box for transmitting headset status information and commands to a headset and a notebook, a handle box for transmitting game frames to a game handle and a game terminal, and so on. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for reducing the energy consumption of the interaction device.
Specifically, the control device in this embodiment may include the following functional units:
A monitoring unit 1801, configured to monitor a connection state of the interaction device when the interaction device and the first electronic device establish a first data connection through a connection device, characterize disconnection of the first data connection based at least on the connection state, and trigger an output unit;
And an output unit 1802, configured to output a first instruction, where the first instruction is used to instruct the interaction device to restore a first data connection with the first electronic device through the connection device according to the received first instruction.
As can be seen from the foregoing, in the control device provided in the second embodiment of the present application, when the interaction device and the electronic device establish the first data connection through the connection device, the interaction device monitors the connection state of the interaction device, and further outputs the first instruction at least when the connection state indicates that the first data connection is disconnected, so as to instruct the interaction device to resume the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device according to the received first instruction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the connection device is used to output the instruction, so as to restore the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device, and the instruction broadcast of the interaction device is not relied on in the process, so that the energy consumption of the interaction device is reduced.

It should be noted that, the specific implementation of each unit in this embodiment may refer to the corresponding content in the foregoing, which is not described in detail herein.
Referring to fig. 19, a schematic structural diagram of a connection device according to a third embodiment of the present application may be a connection device capable of establishing a data connection with an interaction device and an electronic device and transmitting data to the interaction device and the electronic device, such as an earphone house for transmitting earphone status information and instructions to an earphone and a notebook, a handle box for transmitting game frames to a game handle and a game terminal, and so on. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for reducing the energy consumption of the interaction device.
Specifically, the connection device in this embodiment may include the following structure:
a processor 1901, configured to monitor a connection state of the interaction device when the interaction device and the first electronic device establish a first data connection through a connection device;
And a communication module 1902, such as a bluetooth module, configured to characterize the disconnection of the first data connection based at least on the connection status, and output a first instruction, where the first instruction is used to instruct the interaction device to resume, according to the received first instruction, the first data connection with the first electronic device through the connection device.
Of course, other components, such as a charging circuit, may also be included in the connection device.
As can be seen from the foregoing, in the connection device provided in the third embodiment of the present application, when the interaction device and the electronic device establish the first data connection through the connection device, the interaction device monitors the connection state of the interaction device, and further outputs the first instruction at least when the connection state indicates that the first data connection is disconnected, so as to instruct the interaction device to resume the first data connection with the electronic device through the connection device according to the received first instruction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the connection device is used to output the instruction, so as to restore the first data connection between the interaction device and the electronic device, and the instruction broadcast of the interaction device is not relied on in the process, so that the energy consumption of the interaction device is reduced.
In addition, the application can also provide an electronic device comprising the connecting device, such as a notebook provided with a headset cabin, a game terminal provided with a handle case and the like. Corresponding interactive devices, such as headphones or game pads, etc., can also be worn in the electronic device.
Taking an example of an electronic device as a notebook computer provided with an earphone cabin (also can be a charging tray or a charging cabin) capable of placing a true wireless Bluetooth TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earphone (hereinafter referred to as an earphone), the technical scheme in the application is illustrated in detail:
In combination with the illustration in fig. 20, in the scenario that the master earphone is simultaneously connected with the notebook and the mobile phone, the slave earphone establishes the BLE connection with the notebook with the connection point of the master earphone as the BLE connection, based on this, if the user carries the mobile phone and left slave earphone leaves the notebook so that the connection range of the earphone bin is exceeded, the master earphone continuously broadcasts a second instruction to scan the peripheral notebook to try to restore the BLE connection with the earphone bin therein, while waiting on the notebook, if the master earphone still does not restore the BLE connection with the earphone bin after 15 minutes, the master earphone stops broadcasting the instruction, since the second instruction broadcasted by the master earphone is not received in 15 minutes on the notebook, the earphone bin on the notebook broadcasts the first instruction to try to restore the BLE connection with the peripheral master earphone until the master earphone is carried back to the connection range of the earphone bin by the user, the master earphone can receive the first instruction broadcasted by the earphone bin and restore the BLE connection with the earphone bin accordingly, and further restore the BLE connection with the notebook, if the connection range of the master earphone bin is not always kept in the first order, and if the first instruction is not received in the first order, and then the user continuously broadcasts the first instruction is not required after the first order is set up, and the first order is not required to continue to enter the state after the first earphone is set.
As can be seen, normally, after the earphone and the main device, i.e. the notebook, exceed the connection range, the earphone is disconnected from the BLE with the main device, and if the earphone returns to the connection range within a certain time (generally 15 minutes), the earphone always sends a return connection instruction to automatically return to the connection with the main device; if the time exceeds 15 minutes, the earphone bin actively sends a reconnection instruction through the BLE module for 2 hours, and when the earphone returns to the connection range, the reconnection instruction of the earphone bin can be received, so that automatic reconnection after long-time disconnection can be realized. If the earphone does not return to the connection range, the earphone bin does not send a connection return instruction any more, and a user can realize disconnection of the earphone and the main equipment by clicking the 'disconnection' in the configuration interface through the matched application program, and if the earphone needs to be reconnected, the user only needs to click the 'reconnection'.
In summary, after the technical scheme of the application is adopted, the earphone can easily interact with the notebook through the earphone bin, and the automatic reconnection time of the earphone can be prolonged without increasing the power consumption of the earphone; in addition, the user can easily connect and disconnect the earphone and the notebook through the application program.
