METHOD FOR DETERMINING WEARING STATUS OF WIRELESS EARPHONE AND RELATED APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956984 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING WEARING STATUS OF WIRELESS EARPHONE AND RELATED APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for determining the wearing status of a wireless earphone and a method for determining if the earphone is double-tapped.
- The method for determining the wearing status involves obtaining data from a sensor system that indicates the movement of the earphone housing. Based on this data, the method determines whether the earphone is placed in the user's ear.
- The method for determining the double-tapped status also involves obtaining data from a sensor system that indicates the movement of the earphone housing. This data is then used as input for a neural network model to determine if the earphone housing has been double-tapped by an external object.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improving the accuracy of detecting whether a wireless earphone is being worn by a user.
- Enhancing the accuracy of identifying if a wireless earphone has been double-tapped by an external object.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurately determining the wearing status of a wireless earphone can help improve user experience by automatically pausing or resuming audio playback when the earphone is removed or put back in the ear.
- Identifying if a wireless earphone has been double-tapped can enable the implementation of custom actions or controls, such as skipping tracks or activating voice assistants.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy in determining the wearing status of a wireless earphone can enhance user convenience and reduce the need for manual adjustments.
- Accurate detection of double-tapped status can provide users with more control options and improve the overall user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application discloses a method for determining a wearing status of a wireless earphone and a wireless earphone. The method includes: obtaining a first output of a sensor system, where the first output indicates a moving status of a housing, and determining, based on the first output, whether a body portion is put in a user's ear. This application further discloses a method for determining a double-tapped status of a wireless earphone and a wireless earphone. The method includes: obtaining a first output of a sensor system, where the first output indicates a moving status of a housing, and determining, by using a neural network model and by using the first output as a model input, whether the housing is double-tapped by an external object. This application improves accuracy of identifying the wearing status of the wireless earphone and improves accuracy of identifying the double-tapped status of the wireless earphone.
