Abstract

Disclosed is a wireless earphone linking method that includes the following: detecting a motion state of a wireless earphone; when the wireless earphone is moved, determining whether a working mode of the wireless earphone is a wearing mode; if so, determining whether the wireless earphone and a terminal are in a linked state; and if the wireless earphone and the terminal are not in a linked state, controlling the wireless earphone to send a linking request to the terminal.

Claims (52)

1. A method for connecting a wireless headset, comprising:

detecting a motion state of the wireless headset;

when the wireless headset is in motion, determining whether a working mode of the wireless headset is a wearing mode;

if the working mode of the wireless headset is the wearing mode, determining whether the wireless headset is in a connection state with a terminal; and

if the wireless headset is not in the connection state with the terminal, controlling the wireless headset to send a connection request to the terminal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the working mode of the wireless headset is not the wearing mode, the method further comprises: before determining whether the wireless headset is in the connection state with the terminal,

calling an infrared sensor to detect whether the wireless headset is blocked;

when the wireless headset is blocked, calling an accelerometer to collect an acceleration value of the wireless headset;

determining whether the wireless headset meets an entering-into-ear condition according to the acceleration value;

if the wireless headset meets the entering-into-ear condition, determining whether the wireless headset is in a headset box; and

if the wireless headset is not in the headset box, changing the working mode of the wireless headset to the wearing mode.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the determining whether the wireless headset meets the entering-into-ear condition according to the acceleration value comprises:

building an entering-into-ear behavior analysis model;

analyzing the acceleration value by using the entering-into-ear behavior analysis model to obtain an analysis result; and

determining whether the wireless headset meets the entering-into-ear condition according to the analysis result.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before determining whether the wireless headset is in a disconnection state with the terminal, the method further comprises:

determining whether the wireless headset is in a connection state with an opposite wireless headset;

if the wireless headset is in the connection state with the opposite wireless headset, obtaining an ADDP/HFP state of the opposite wireless headset;

determining whether the opposite wireless headset is in a connection state with the terminal according to the ADDP/HFP state; and

if the opposite wireless headset is not in the connection state with the terminal, entering a step of determining whether the wireless headset is in a disconnection state with the terminal.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after controlling the wireless headset to send the connection request to the terminal, the method further comprises:

determining whether the wireless headset is in the connection state with the terminal again within a preset time;

if the wireless headset is not in the connection state with the terminal, controlling the wireless headset to resend the connection request to the terminal, and recording number of times the connection request is sent; and

when the number of times exceeds a threshold, sending an error message to a designated location.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a program, and when the program is executed by a processor, steps of the method for connecting the wireless headset according to claim 1 are implemented.

7. A device for connecting a wireless headset, comprising:

a detecting unit, configured to detect a motion state of the wireless headset;

a first determining unit, configured to, when the wireless headset is in motion, determine whether a working mode of the wireless headset is a wearing mode;

a second determining unit, configured to, when the working mode of the wireless headset is the wearing mode, determine whether the wireless headset is in a connection state with a terminal; and

a sending unit, configured to, if the wireless headset is not in the connection state with the terminal, control the wireless headset to send a connection request to the terminal.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the device further comprises:

a first calling unit, configured to call an infrared sensor to detect whether the wireless headset is blocked;

a second calling unit, configured to, when the wireless headset is blocked, call an accelerometer to collect an acceleration value of the wireless headset;

a third determining unit, configured to determine whether the wireless headset meets an entering-into-ear condition according to the acceleration value;

a fourth determining unit, configured to, when the wireless headset meets the entering-into-ear condition, determine whether the wireless headset is in a headset box; and

a mode changing unit, configured to, if the wireless headset is not in the headset box, change the working mode of the wireless headset to the wearing mode.

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the third determining unit comprises:

a building subunit, configured to build an entering-into-ear behavior analysis model;

an analysis subunit, configured to analyze the acceleration value by using the entering-into-ear behavior analysis model to obtain an analysis result; and

a determining subunit, configured to determine whether the wireless headset meets the entering-into-ear condition according to the analysis result.

10. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the device further comprises:

a fifth determining unit, configured to determine whether the wireless headset is in a connection state with an opposite wireless headset;

an obtaining unit, configured to, when the wireless headset is in the connection state with the opposite wireless headset, obtain an ADDP/HFP state of the opposite wireless headset;

a sixth determining unit, configured to determine whether the opposite wireless headset is in the connection state with the terminal according to the ADDP/HFP state; and

an entry unit, configured to, if the opposite wireless headset is not in the connection state with the terminal, enter a step of determining whether the wireless headset is in the disconnection state with the terminal by the second determining unit.

11. A wireless headset, comprising:

a memory, configured to store a computer program; and

a processor, configured to, when executing the computer program, perform:

detecting a motion state of the wireless headset;

when the wireless headset is in motion, determining whether a working mode of the wireless headset is a wearing mode;

if the working mode of the wireless headset is the wearing mode, determining whether the wireless headset is in a connection state with a terminal; and

if the wireless headset is not in the connection state with the terminal, controlling the wireless headset to send a connection request to the terminal.
