Description

Head-wearing earphone

Technical Field

The present application relates to headsets. And more particularly, to a headset.

Background

With the advancement of technology, wearable devices such as earphones tend to be more intelligent. However, there is a disadvantage in controlling the call or the play and in controlling the feedback. For example, for the play control, the control of switching the next audio file, increasing/decreasing the volume, etc. is usually not provided with the control feedback function because the user feels relatively obvious after the control is completed, but for some users, the user wants to receive the control feedback. In addition, for existing control feedback, the existing feedback methods are generally voice control feedback or voice prompt: for example, for play control of an earphone with a Noise reduction function, when ANC (Active Noise Cancellation, i.e., Active Noise reduction) is turned on or off by a key, the earphone gives a sound control feedback to a user, but when the user is in a noisy environment, the user cannot easily hear the sound control feedback, which affects user experience; for example, for call control, a call noise reduction function of multiple microphones exists at present, and in order to save power consumption, a user usually uses the function only in a strong noise environment, and at this time, the user also has a situation that the user cannot easily hear control feedback, so that the call experience of the opposite party of the call is very poor.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a headset, which includes a head beam 100, and a left headset body 200 and a right headset body 300 respectively connected to two ends of the head beam, wherein at least one touch sensor and at least one haptic feedback device are disposed inside a rear cover of the left headset body 200 and/or the right headset body 300.

In the headset provided in this embodiment, on one hand, a plurality of touch control functions for playing or calling can be provided through the touch sensor, and a user can perform touch control such as switching a next audio file, switching an ANC (audio switch control), switching a call noise reduction function, increasing/decreasing a volume, and the like on the back cover of the headset body of the headset in a manner of performing, for example, a click operation (which may include a click operation, a double click operation, a long press operation, and the like) on a position of the back cover of the headset body where the touch sensor is disposed or performing a sliding operation on a plurality of positions where a plurality of touch sensors are disposed with a finger; the touch control described above by the user can be responded to by the tactile feedback device on the other hand by, for example, giving out a vibration to be transmitted to the finger of the user who applied the touch operation, providing the tactile feedback of the touch control to the user. Therefore, the headset provided by the embodiment enables a user to conveniently perform touch operation and sense whether the touch operation is successful or not without being interfered by an external environment, thereby improving user experience.

In a specific example, if the headset is a wired headset, the headset further includes a connecting line for wired connection with a terminal device such as a mobile phone used in cooperation therewith; if the headset is a wireless headset, the headset further includes a battery, a circuit board, a wireless transmission module such as a bluetooth chip for wireless connection with a terminal device such as a mobile phone. In one mode, the touch sensor and the tactile feedback device are respectively connected to a connecting line or are respectively electrically connected to the wireless transmission module, after a user performs touch operation on a position, where the touch sensor is arranged, of the back cover of the earphone body by using, for example, a finger, the touch sensor can directly send a touch operation signal sensed by the touch sensor to a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, used in cooperation with the headset, and the terminal device triggers the tactile feedback device to provide tactile feedback to the user through a driving signal after responding to the touch operation signal according to a set rule. In another mode, a processor device such as a micro control unit MCU may also be disposed in the headset, the touch sensor and the haptic feedback device are respectively connected to the MCU, the MCU transmits a touch operation signal to a terminal device such as a mobile phone used with the headset through a connection line or a wireless transmission module, and triggers the haptic feedback device to provide haptic feedback to the user through a driving signal. The above two ways are modified as follows: the touch sensor is electrically connected with the tactile feedback device, when the touch sensor directly or through the MCU sends a touch operation signal sensed by the touch sensor to a terminal device such as a mobile phone matched with the headset for use, the tactile feedback device is triggered by the touch operation signal to provide tactile feedback for a user, and the tactile feedback triggering mode is better in timeliness.

In a specific example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the left earphone body 200 is taken as an example, and includes a rear cover 210, a rear shell 220, a front shell, an earcap, and other components, and further includes a speaker and a microphone, wherein both the speaker and the microphone can be bone conduction or air propagation. As shown in fig. 2 to 4, taking the touch sensor 211 and the haptic feedback device 212 as an example, the inner side of the back cover 210 of the left earphone body 200 is provided with the touch sensor 211 and the haptic feedback device 212, since the user usually touches the back shell 220 and the like without touching the back cover 210 when wearing and taking off the earphone, and the back cover 210 is usually a circular plane or a slightly curved surface close to the plane, for example, which is more suitable for touch control than the back shell 220 and the like, the touch sensor 211 and the haptic feedback device 212 are provided on the inner side of the back cover 210 in the present embodiment, for example, by adhesion, that is, the touch sensor 211 and the haptic feedback device 212 are adhered and fixed on the inner side of the back cover 210.

It can be understood that, in the headphone provided in this embodiment, at least one touch sensor and at least one haptic feedback device may be disposed only on the inner side of the back cover of the left headphone body 200, at least one touch sensor and at least one haptic feedback device may be disposed only on the inner side of the back cover of the right headphone body 300, at least one touch sensor and at least one haptic feedback device may be disposed on the inner side of the back cover of the left headphone body 200 and the inner side of the back cover of the right headphone body 300, respectively, where the touch sensors and the haptic feedback devices in the left headphone body 200 and the right headphone body 300 may be disposed in a similar manner. For convenience of description, the following description will be made by taking an example in which at least one touch sensor 211 and at least one haptic feedback device 212 are disposed only inside the rear cover 210 of the left earphone body 200.

In some embodiments, the left earphone body 200 and the rear cover 210 are provided with a plurality of touch sensors 211 inside. For example, as shown in fig. 2-4, five touch sensors 211 are disposed on the rear cover 210. Thus, it is possible to perform different controls corresponding to the clicking operations of different positions of the rear cover 210 and to perform the sliding operation at a plurality of positions of the rear cover 210.

In some embodiments, the inside of the rear cover 210 of the left earphone body 200 is provided with a plurality of haptic feedback devices 212 corresponding to the plurality of touch sensors 211. For example, as shown in fig. 2-4, five tactile feedback devices 212 are disposed on the rear cover 210, with each tactile feedback device 212 disposed proximate to one of the touch sensors 211. Thereby, a more accurate haptic feedback may be achieved, wherein each haptic feedback device 212 may be respectively set to provide vibrations of different frequencies or durations according to the set rule, so that the user may sense the type of applied touch control.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the touch sensors 211 are uniformly distributed on the inner side of the rear cover 210 of the left earphone body 200 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the click operation of different positions of the rear cover 210 can be controlled to correspond to different controls and the sliding operation can be performed on a plurality of positions of the rear cover 210 more conveniently, for example, the volume can be increased through the clockwise sliding operation and can be reduced through the anticlockwise sliding operation by a user, and the user operation experience is better.

In some embodiments, the touch sensor 211 is a pressure sensor. Such as a piezoelectric pressure sensor. In addition, the touch sensor 211 may also be a capacitive touch sensor or other types.

In some embodiments, the haptic feedback device 212 is a motor-based vibration feedback device. Further, the motor may be a linear motor, i.e., the haptic feedback device 212 is a linear motor based vibration feedback device. The linear motor has the advantages of higher response speed and the like, and can realize finer vibration feedback.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the present application clearly and not for the purpose of limiting the same, and that various other modifications and variations of the present invention may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the above teachings, and it is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed.
