Abstract

The present invention discloses a sound signal processing method, a terminal, and a headset, to prevent a sound in an external environment from causing unnecessary disturbance to a user, thereby improving user experience. The terminal includes: a microphone, configured to collect an ambient sound signal; and a processor, configured to: obtain the sound signal collected by the microphone, and process, based on user status information, the ambient sound signal collected by the microphone, where the user status information includes a geographical location of a user who uses the terminal or a motion status of the user.

Claims (45)

1. A terminal, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a microphone, the microphone configured to collect an ambient sound signal;

a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal to:

obtain the ambient sound signal collected by the microphone;

determine, based on user status information, a set of valid sound signals that are used to prompt a user, wherein the user status information comprises a geographical location of the user who uses the terminal or a motion status of the user;

generate a prompt signal based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the ambient sound signal belongs to the set of valid sound signals, wherein the prompt signal comprises a text prompt message;

determine an output manner of the prompt signal based on priority information of a service currently running on the terminal and priority information of the ambient sound signal, wherein the output manner comprises a text output manner; and

generate the text prompt message based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the output manner of the prompt signal is the text output manner.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal to:

perform noise reduction processing on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the ambient sound signal does not belong to the set of valid sound signals.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal to:

determine, based on the ambient sound signal, a set of target user status information; and

generate the prompt signal based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the user status information belongs to the set of target user status information.

4. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal to:

perform noise reduction processing on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the user status information does not belong to the set of target user status information.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal further comprises a display screen configured to present the text prompt message.

6. A headset, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a microphone, the microphone configured to collect an ambient sound signal;

a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the headset to:

obtain the ambient sound signal collected by the microphone;

determine, based on user status information, a set of valid sound signals that are used to prompt a user, wherein the user status information comprises a geographical location of the user who uses the headset or a motion status of the user;

generate a prompt signal based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the ambient sound signal belongs to the set of valid sound signals, wherein the prompt signal comprises a text prompt message;

determine an output manner of the prompt signal based on priority information of a service currently running on the headset and priority information of the ambient sound signal, wherein the output manner comprises a text output manner; and

generate the text prompt message based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the output manner of the prompt signal is the text output manner.

7. The headset according to claim 6 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the headset to:

perform noise reduction processing on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the ambient sound signal does not belong to the set of valid sound signals.

8. The headset according to claim 6 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the headset to:

determine, based on the ambient sound signal, a set of target user status information; and

generate the prompt signal based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the user status information belongs to the set of target user status information.

9. The headset according to claim 8 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the headset to:

perform noise reduction processing on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the user status information does not belong to the set of target user status information.

10. The headset according to claim 6 , wherein the headset further comprises a display screen configured to present the text prompt message.

11. A sound signal processing method, comprising:

obtaining an ambient sound signal collected by a microphone;

determining, based on user status information, a set of valid sound signals that are used to prompt a user using a terminal, wherein the user status information comprises a geographical location of the user who uses the terminal or a motion status of the user;

generating a prompt signal based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the ambient sound signal belongs to the set of valid sound signals, wherein the prompt signal comprises a text prompt message;

determining an output manner of the prompt signal based on priority information of a service currently running on the terminal and priority information of the ambient sound signal, wherein the output manner comprises a text output manner; and

generating the text prompt message based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the output manner of the prompt signal is the text output manner.

12. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

performing noise reduction processing on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the ambient sound signal does not belong to the set of valid sound signals.

13. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

determining, based on the ambient sound signal, a set of target user status information; and

generating the prompt signal based on the ambient sound signal in response to determining that the user status information belongs to the set of target user status information.
