Audio control method and device
View Patent ↗The present application relates to an audio control method and device. The audio control method comprises: a control device receives notification information from a first broadcast receiver; and the control device controls, on the basis of the notification information, broadcast isochronous streams (BISs) synchronized by a second broadcast receiver.
1 . An audio control method for Low Energy (LE) broadcast audio, comprising:
receiving, by a control device, notification information from a first broadcast sink;
searching for, by the control device, a second broadcast sink in a same coordinated set as the first broadcast sink; and
controlling, by the control device based on the notification information, a Broadcast Isochronous Stream (BIS) synchronized to by the second broadcast sink.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the notification information is used to notify the control device that the first broadcast sink stops synchronizing to periodic advertising, and the controlling, by the control device based on the notification information, the BIS synchronized to by the second broadcast sink comprises:
indicating, by the control device, the second broadcast sink to stop synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a second channel, and to start synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a mono channel.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the notification information is used to request the control device to send broadcast synchronization information, and the method further comprises:
sending, by the control device, the broadcast synchronization information to the first broadcast sink to indicate the first broadcast sink to start synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a first channel,
wherein the controlling, by the control device based on the notification information, the BIS synchronized to by the second broadcast sink comprises:
indicating, by the control device, the second broadcast sink to stop synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a mono channel, and to start synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a second channel.
4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the notification information includes at least one of a broadcast source address type, a broadcast source address, an advertising set identification and a periodic advertising synchronization state.
5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first broadcast sink and the second broadcast sink are earbud devices,
wherein the first channel is a left channel, the second channel is a right channel, the first broadcast sink is a left earbud device, and the second broadcast sink is a right earbud device, or
wherein the first channel is a right channel, the second channel is a left channel, the first broadcast sink is a right earbud device, and the second broadcast sink is a left earbud device.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
establishing, by the control device, a synchronization relationship between a broadcast source and the first and second broadcast sinks, so as to indicate the first broadcast sink to synchronize to the BIS corresponding to a first channel and the second broadcast sink to synchronize to the BIS corresponding to a second channel.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is a broadcast assistant, or
the control device comprises a broadcast source and a broadcast assistant, and
wherein periodic advertising received by the broadcast assistant from a broadcast source comprises at least one of the following BISs:
a BIS corresponding to a first channel;
a BIS corresponding to a second channel; and
a BIS corresponding to a mono channel different from the first channel and the second channel.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the notification information carries indication information of a monaural playback mode or a binaural playback mode.
9 . An audio control method for Low Energy (LE) broadcast audio, comprising:
sending, by a first broadcast sink, notification information to a control device;
wherein the notification information is used to indicate the control device to control a Broadcast Isochronous Stream (BIS) synchronized to by a second broadcast sink, and
wherein the second broadcast sink is in the same coordinated set as the first broadcast sink.
10 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
stopping, by the first broadcast sink, synchronizing to periodic advertising, wherein the notification information is used to notify the control device that the first broadcast sink stops synchronizing to the periodic advertising.
11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the notification information is used to request the control device to send broadcast synchronization information, and the method further comprises:
receiving, by the first broadcast sink, the broadcast synchronization information from the control device, and starting to synchronize to the BIS corresponding to a first channel.
12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the control device is a broadcast assistant, or
the control device comprises a broadcast source and a broadcast assistant, and
wherein periodic advertising received by the broadcast assistant from a broadcast source comprises at least one of the following BISs:
a BIS corresponding to a first channel;
a BIS corresponding to a second channel; and
a BIS corresponding to a mono channel different from the first channel and the second channel.
13 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the notification information carries indication information of a monaural playback mode or a binaural playback mode.
14 . An audio control method for Low Energy (LE) broadcast audio, comprising:
receiving, by a second broadcast sink, indication information from a control device, wherein the indication information is determined by the control device based on notification information of a first broadcast sink; and
synchronizing, by the second broadcast sink, to a Broadcast Isochronous Stream (BIS) based on the indication information;
wherein the second broadcast sink is in the same coordinated set as the first broadcast sink.
15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the notification information is used to notify the control device that the first broadcast sink stops synchronizing to periodic advertising, and the synchronizing, by the second broadcast sink, to the BIS based on the indication information comprises:
stopping, by the second broadcast sink, synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a second channel, and starting synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a mono channel.
16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the notification information is used to request the control device to send broadcast synchronization information, and the synchronizing, by the second broadcast sink, to the BIS based on the indication information comprises:
stopping, by the second broadcast sink, synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a mono channel, and starting synchronizing to the BIS corresponding to a second channel.
17 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the first broadcast sink and the second broadcast sink are earbud devices, and
wherein the second channel is a right channel, the first broadcast sink is a left earbud device, and the second broadcast sink is a right earbud device, or
wherein the second channel is a left channel, the first broadcast sink is a right earbud device, and the second broadcast sink is a left earbud device.
18 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the notification information carries indication information of a monaural playback mode or a binaural playback mode.
