Method for Controlling Earphone Switching, Earphone, and Earphone System

An earphone, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage, coupled to the at least one processor and storing at least one computer executable instruction thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to carry out actions comprising:
• determining whether the earphone is switched to a non-wearing state from a wearing state, the earphone being coupled with the other earphone and an electronic device and serving as a master earphone, and the other earphone serving as a slave earphone;
• and
• switching the earphone to serve as the slave earphone and switching the other earphone to serve as the master earphone, in response to determining that the earphone is switched to the non-wearing state from the wearing state.

An earphone system, comprising a first earphone and a second earphone with only one of them being capable of coupling with an electronic device at a time, the first earphone being currently coupled with the electronic device and the second earphone and comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage, coupled to the at least one processor and storing at least one computer executable instruction thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
• determine whether the first earphone is switched to a non-wearing state from a wearing state;
• and
• disconnect a first data transmission link between the first earphone and the electronic device and establish a second data transmission link between the second earphone and the electronic device, in response to determining that the first earphone is switched to the non-wearing state from the wearing state.
