Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the same or similar elements in the different figures unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

With the development of electronic technology, mobile terminals have been widely used, and the replacement is very fast. Mobile terminal can mention For calling, playing music and other functions. Many functions are inseparable from sound, and the mobile terminal can output sound through devices such as earpieces, speakers, and headphones.

In the related art, the volume of the output sound can be adjusted by the volume adjustment option in the mobile terminal setting interface; the volume of the output sound can also be adjusted by a hardware button on the mobile terminal for adjusting the volume; and can also be connected to the mobile terminal. The hardware buttons for adjusting the volume on the headphones, external speakers, Bluetooth speakers, etc. to adjust the volume of the output sound.

Various methods for adjusting the volume are provided in the related art. However, in these methods, the user needs to manually adjust the volume. Sometimes, manually adjusting the volume may cause inconvenience to the user. For example, when a user makes a call, the handset needs to be placed at the ear, and the volume cannot be adjusted through the mobile terminal setting interface. However, if the volume of the output sound is adjusted by a hardware button on the mobile terminal or an external device for adjusting the volume, the sound emitted by pressing the hardware button is likely to interfere with the user's call process.

Secondly, the volume of the sound output by the mobile terminal each time is based on the previous setting. However, the previous setting is not necessarily suitable for the scene corresponding to the output of the sound. Therefore, the output volume is not necessarily suitable for the user's feeling. .

Therefore, how to realize the automatic control of the volume so that the volume of the output makes the user feel more comfortable is an urgent problem to be solved.

In the present invention, the relevant parameter value of the audio playback is monitored; the volume value corresponding to the relevant parameter value is determined; and the audio is played according to the determined volume value. With the technical solution, by determining the volume value corresponding to the relevant parameter of the audio playing, and playing the audio according to the determined volume value, the automatic adjustment of the volume is realized, and since the volume is determined based on the relevant parameters of the audio playing, The output volume makes the user feel more comfortable, reduces the user's manual adjustment of the volume, and reduces the device's response to user operations.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling volume according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method may be implemented by a mobile terminal, and the method may be implemented as the following steps S101-S103:

In step S101, monitoring related parameter values of audio playback;

In step S102, determining a volume value corresponding to the relevant parameter value;

In step S103, audio is played according to the determined volume value.

The audio in this embodiment includes independent audio (such as music, speech, etc.), and also audio in the video, such as audio in a movie.

In this embodiment, the related parameters of the audio play are preset, and the related parameters may include at least one of the following parameters:

The type of device used to play audio, the content of the audio, the terminal application that plays the audio, the distance value between the user and the mobile terminal, and the noise level.

The parameter value corresponding to the relevant parameter of the audio playing is monitored, and the parameter value may be preset according to the parameter type. For example, the related parameter is a device for playing audio: when the device that plays the audio is the earpiece, the device type value is 11; when the playback device is the earphone, the device type value is 12; when the playback device is the speaker, the device type value is 13 When the playback device is a speaker, the device type value is 14. When the relevant parameter is the distance value between the user and the mobile terminal, the parameter value is related to the distance size; when the relevant parameter is the noise size, the parameter value is related to the decibel number of the noise.

After monitoring the relevant parameter values of the audio play, the volume value corresponding to the relevant parameter value is determined. The determination of the volume value may be based on pre-stating the usage of the local user in advance, or pre-stating the usage of a large number of users, performing a large number of actual measurement and data statistics on various parameters of various audio playback, and counting different statistics. Among the relevant parameter values, the volume that the user is accustomed to use, the volume that the user is accustomed to use is the volume value that the user feels comfortable when playing the audio according to the relevant parameter value, and establishes the correspondence relationship between the relevant parameter value and the volume value that the user feels comfortable. After obtaining the relevant parameter value of the current audio play, the volume value corresponding to the relevant parameter value may be determined according to the obtained related parameter value, and the audio is played according to the determined volume value.

In an embodiment, the related parameter value includes: a device type value of the playing audio device;

As shown in FIG. 2, the above step S101 can be implemented as the following steps S201-S202:

In step S201, monitoring a device connection signal of the playing audio device;

In step S202, a device type value is determined based on the device connection signal.

In this embodiment, the relevant parameter value is a device type value of the played audio device. The device that plays audio can be a handset, a wired headset, a Bluetooth headset, a speaker, a Bluetooth speaker, and the like. The device type value of each type of audio device can be preset. For example, when the device that plays the audio is the earpiece, the device type value is 11; when the playback device is the earphone, the device type value is 12; when the playback device is the speaker, The device type value is 13; when the playback device is a speaker, the device type value is 14. Each device type value corresponds to a different volume.

When the user starts to use a device that plays audio, the device sends a device connection signal to the processor in the mobile terminal, where the device connection signal carries the identifier of the device, and the mobile terminal determines the device type of the device according to the device identifier. And further determine the device type value of the device.

For example, the handset and speaker are electrically coupled to the processor during operation to transmit an electrical signal to the processor, and the processor can learn from the electrical signal that the handset and speaker are active. For another example, the pin of the wired earphone is inserted into the earphone jack of the mobile terminal to form an electrical connection, generating an electrical signal. The processor can know that the wired headset is working according to the electrical signal of the headphone jack. For example, a Bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth speaker can be connected to a Bluetooth module in a mobile terminal via a Bluetooth protocol. When the Bluetooth module is connected to an external device Bluetooth, it sends an electrical signal to the processor. The processor can know that the Bluetooth headset and the Bluetooth speaker are working according to the electrical signal of the Bluetooth module.

The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention may include the following beneficial effects: determining a device type value by a device connection signal of a device that plays audio, so as to determine a volume suitable for the device for the device type value, so that the volume of the output makes the user feel More comfortable.

For example, a wired headset is closer to the human ear, and a corresponding volume value of 40 decibels is appropriate. The Bluetooth speaker is farther away from the human ear, and the corresponding volume value is 90 decibels. When the user inserts a wired headset, the audio is automatically played at a volume of 40 decibels. When the mobile terminal is connected to a Bluetooth speaker, the audio is automatically played at a volume of 90 decibels.

In one embodiment, the relevant parameter values include: a content type value of the audio;

As shown in FIG. 3, the above step S101 can be implemented as the following steps S301-S302:

In step S301, monitoring characteristics of the audio;

In step S302, the content type value of the audio is determined according to the characteristics of the audio.

In this embodiment, the relevant parameter value is a content type value of the audio. The content of the audio may be music, voice, or the like. The content type value corresponding to the content of the audio may be set in advance before the content type value of the audio is determined. For example, when the content of the audio is music, different content type values can be set for different styles of music, the content type value of the light music is 21; the content type value of the music of the rock, heavy metal, and the like is 22. Normally, the rhythm of rock music is stronger than that of light music, and is suitable for playing at a higher volume. Therefore, the content type value of rock and heavy metal music corresponds to a higher volume, and the content type value of light music corresponds to a lower volume. For another example, when the content of the audio is voice, the content type value corresponding to the voice is preset to be 23. Each content type value corresponds to a different volume.

When the audio content is determined, the characteristics of the audio are monitored, and the content type value of the audio is determined based on the characteristics of the audio. For example, when the audio is a song, the character feature of the lyrics corresponding to the song is obtained, and the style of the song can be determined according to the character characteristics of the lyrics. As another example, the audio characteristics of the song (including frequency, amplitude, etc.) are analyzed to determine the genre of the song. It is also possible to determine the genre of the song based on information such as the singer of the song. Content type values also distinguish between music, video, voice conversations, and more.

In addition, a feature library of various different types of audio features is pre-stored prior to determining the content type value of the audio. When determining the content type value of the audio, monitoring the feature of the currently played audio, comparing the feature of the currently played audio with the audio feature in the feature library, and using the feature type corresponding to the feature library with the highest degree of similarity as the audio A feature that determines a content type value of the audio based on the characteristics of the audio.

For example, when the determined content type value indicates a voice conversation, the corresponding volume value is 60 decibels. When the determined content type value indicates light music, the corresponding volume value is 50 decibels. When the determined content type value indicates rock music, the corresponding volume value is 90 decibels.

The mobile terminal can monitor the applications running in the foreground and the content in the application in real time, such as monitoring applications related to audio playback such as social applications, call applications, and player applications. And monitoring the content of the play so as to timely adopt the volume suitable for the content to be played.

In one embodiment, the relevant parameter values include: an application type value of an application that plays audio;

As shown in FIG. 4, the above step S101 can be implemented as the following steps S401-S402:

In step S401, monitoring an application for playing audio;

In step S402, an application type value of the application is determined.

The scene in which the mobile terminal outputs audio may include making a call, playing music, and the like. Generally, the scene of the output audio can be determined by the type of the application that outputs the audio. For example, when the application that outputs the audio is a call application, it can be determined that the scene of the output audio is a call, and when the application that outputs the audio is a music application. At this time, it is determined that the scene in which the audio is output is playing music.

The volume of the audio for different scenes is different. For example, when making a call, the volume of the output is guaranteed to be clearly audible to the user, and when playing music, it is usually necessary to output a higher volume.

In this embodiment, the type value corresponding to each type of application capable of playing audio may be set in advance. For example, the application type value corresponding to the call application is 31, and the application type value corresponding to the music application is 32. The mobile terminal monitors an application currently playing audio, and determines an application type value of the currently played audio application according to a preset correspondence value applied to the application type value.

The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention may include the following beneficial effects: determining an application type value of an application by playing an audio application, so as to determine a volume suitable for the application to play audio for different types of applications, thereby making the volume of the output audio Make users feel more comfortable.

For example, most of the call applications make voice calls, which belong to the call application. When the current station runs the call application, the corresponding volume value is 50 decibels. The player mostly plays music and video, etc., and belongs to the music application. When the current player runs the player, the corresponding volume value is 60 decibels.

In one embodiment, the relevant parameter values include: a distance value of the user;

The above step S101 can be implemented as the following step A1:

In step A1, the distance value of the user to the local is monitored.

When playing audio, if you want to ensure that the user can hear the content corresponding to the audio, the farther the user is from the mobile terminal, the larger the volume is needed. The volume corresponding to the different distance values of the user and the mobile terminal is determined. Among them, the closer the distance, the smaller the volume; the farther the distance, the louder the volume.

In this embodiment, when the user is closer to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can monitor the distance value from the user through the built-in distance sensor. When the user is far away from the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can monitor the distance value from the user through the wearable device worn by the user. By monitoring the distance value from the user, it is possible to determine the volume suitable for the output of the distance value based on the correspondence between the distance value and the volume.

In one embodiment, the relevant parameter values include: noise parameter values;

The above step S101 can be implemented as the following step B1:

In step B1, the noise parameter value of the environmental noise is monitored.

When playing audio, for example, when a user makes a call, when there is noise in the surrounding environment, the louder the call volume, the easier the user can hear the words spoken by the opposite user. Based on this, in this embodiment, the relevant parameter value includes a noise parameter value. The volume value corresponding to the noise parameter value of the environmental noise is preset, and the audio output according to the volume value can be guaranteed to be used in the ambient noise, and the user can still clearly hear the content of the played audio. That is to say, the larger the noise parameter value is, the larger the corresponding volume is; the smaller the noise parameter is, the smaller the corresponding volume is.

Monitor the noise parameter values of the ambient noise before playing the audio. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the user can clearly hear the content of the played audio by adjusting the volume among the noise corresponding to the noise parameter value.

The above steps S201-S202, S301-S302, S401-S402, A1, B1 are all further refinement schemes of the above step S101, and all of them introduce a monitoring scheme of related parameter values of audio playback. In the present invention, the monitoring scheme of each of the above related parameter values can be implemented in combination.

Through the above introduction, the implementation process of controlling the volume is understood. The process is implemented by the mobile terminal and the computer. The internal structure and function of the two devices are respectively introduced below.
