Abstract
A method and device for determining a wearing state of an earphone, and a corresponding earphone, are provided. The method includes determining that the earphone has experienced a first event on the basis of first acceleration data from the earphone. In response to the first event, determining whether the earphone has experienced a second event on the basis of first angular velocity data from the earphone, The method further includes determining the wearing state of the earphone on the basis of a determination result for the two events. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the wearing state of the earphone while reducing power consumption.
Claims15
A method for determining a wearing state of an earphone, comprising:
- determining that the earphone has experienced a first event on the basis of first acceleration data from the earphone;
- in response to the determined first event, determining whether the earphone has experienced a second event on the basis of first angular velocity data from the earphone;
- and
- determining the wearing state of the earphone on the basis of a determination result for the two events.
A device for determining a wearing state of an earphone, comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to acquire acceleration data and angular velocity data from the earphone;
- a machine readable storage medium, storing a computer program instruction;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute the stored computer program instruction to
- determine that the earphone has experienced a first event on the basis of first acceleration data from the earphone,
- in response to the determined first event, determine whether the earphone has experienced a second event on the basis of first angular velocity data from the earphone, and
- determine the wearing state of the earphone on the basis of a determination result for the two events.
An earphone, comprising:
- an acceleration sensor configured to collect acceleration data of the earphone;
- an angular velocity sensor configured to selectively collect angular velocity data of the earphone;
- and
- a device for determining a wearing state of an earphone comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to acquire acceleration data and angular velocity data from the earphone;
- a machine readable storage medium, storing a computer program instruction;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute the stored computer program instruction to
- determine that the earphone has experienced a first event on the basis of first acceleration data from the earphone,
- in response to the determined first event, determine whether the earphone has experienced a second event on the basis of first angular velocity data from the earphone, and
- determine the wearing state of the earphone on the basis of a determination result for the two events.
