Abstract

In a method for voice signal switching, a first sound pickup device with a first microphone and a second sound pickup device with a second microphone are included. The first sound pickup device is used for connecting with a first terminal device. The first microphone is used for collecting a sound signal and transmitting the sound signal to the first terminal device. The method further includes the following. Information of a connection state of the second sound pickup device is received. When the connection state is that the second sound pickup device is connected to the first sound pickup device, or the connection state is that the second sound pickup device is connected to the first terminal device, a voice signal switching instruction is received, and collection of the sound signal is controlled to switch between the first microphone and the second microphone.

Claims (57)

1 . A method for voice signal switching, comprising a first sound-pickup device with a first microphone and a second sound-pickup device with a second microphone, wherein

the first sound-pickup device is used for connecting with a first terminal device; and

the first microphone is used for:

collecting a sound signal; and

transmitting the sound signal to the first terminal device; and

the method further comprises:

receiving information of a connection state of the second sound-pickup device; and

when the connection state is that the second sound-pickup device is connected to the first sound-pickup device, or that the second sound-pickup device is connected to the first terminal device,

receiving a voice signal switch instruction; and

controlling collection of the sound signal to switch from the first microphone to the second microphone.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first sound-pickup device, the first terminal device, and the second sound-pickup device is provided with a button, and the method comprises:

when the button triggers the voice signal switch instruction, controlling the collection of the sound signal to switch between the first microphone and the second microphone.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first sound-pickup device is an earphone, the second sound-pickup device is an earphone storage case corresponding to the earphone, and the button is provided on the earphone storage case.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first sound-pickup device, the first terminal device, and the second sound-pickup device is provided with a sensor, and the method comprises:

generating the voice signal switch instruction when a signal received by the sensor satisfies a preset operation condition.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein

the first sound-pickup device is a wearable device worn on a human ear;

the second sound-pickup device is provided with a motion sensor for detecting a motion state of the second sound-pickup device; and

the method comprises:

generating the voice signal switch instruction when the motion state of the second sound-pickup device satisfies a preset action condition;

or

the first sound-pickup device is a wearable device worn on the human ear;

the second sound-pickup device is provided with a position sensor for detecting a relative position between the second sound-pickup device and the first sound-pickup device; and

the method comprises:

generating the voice signal switch instruction when the relative position between the second sound-pickup device and the first sound-pickup device satisfies a preset position condition.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the collection of the sound signal to switch between the first microphone and the second microphone comprises:

extracting, based on a specific voiceprint feature, a first voice signal from a voice signal collected by the first microphone;

extracting, based on the specific voiceprint feature, a second voice signal from a voice signal collected by the second microphone; and

controlling the collection of the sound signal to switch between the first microphone and the second microphone based on signal strengths of the first voice signal and the second voice signal.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal device comprises a third microphone, and the method comprises:

in response to receiving a working mode switch instruction, selecting a microphone to collect a sound signal based on signal strengths of sound signals collected by the first microphone, the second microphone, and the third microphone; and

sending, by the first terminal device, the sound signal to a second terminal device.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the first sound-pickup device is provided with a first noise reduction model for performing noise reduction on a sound signal collected by the first microphone; and

the second sound-pickup device is provided with a second noise reduction model for performing noise reduction on a sound signal collected by the second microphone.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the information of the connection state of the second sound-pickup device comprises:

in response to the second sound-pickup device connecting with the first terminal device, sending, by the first terminal device, the information of the connection state of the second sound-pickup device to the first sound-pickup device; or

in response to the second sound-pickup device connecting with the first sound-pickup device, sending, by the second sound-pickup device, the information of the connection state of the second sound-pickup device to the first sound-pickup device.

10 . A voice signal switching system, comprising a first sound-pickup device with a first microphone and a second sound-pickup device with a second microphone, wherein

the first sound-pickup device is configured to connect with a first terminal device;

the first microphone is configured to:

collect a sound signal; and

transmit the sound signal to the first terminal device; and

the system is configured to:

receive information of a connection state of the second sound-pickup device; and

when the connection state is that the second sound-pickup device is connected to the first sound-pickup device, or that the second sound-pickup device is connected to the first terminal device,

control collection of the sound signal to switch between the first microphone and the second microphone based on a voice signal switch instruction.

11 . A sound-pickup device, comprising a second microphone, wherein

the sound-pickup device is configured to connect with a communication device;

the second microphone is configured to:

collect a sound signal; and

transmit the sound signal to the communication device; and

the sound-pickup device is further configured to:

in response to receiving a first voice signal switch instruction,

use the second microphone to collect the sound signal; and

transmit the sound signal to the communication device; and

in response to receiving a second voice signal switch instruction, stop using the second microphone to collect the sound signal and to transmit the sound signal to the communication device.
