detailed description

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described through implementation with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are the embodiment of the present invention. Some, but not all, embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Embodiment one

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for increasing a call volume of a terminal provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The method can be executed by a device configured in the terminal for increasing the call volume of the terminal, and the device can be implemented by software and/or hardware. As shown in Figure 1, the method for increasing the call volume of a terminal provided in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

S110. Receive the user's setting, and turn on the high-volume call mode;

A mechanical switch can be set on the terminal or an action switch can be set in the terminal program, and the high-volume call mode can be turned on through user settings. When the user needs to increase the volume of the call during the call, the high-volume call mode can be turned on in advance or during the call.

S120. In the high-volume call mode, when it is detected that the terminal has turned on the voice call function, switch the output device of the terminal audio signal from the receiver to the speaker;

In the normal mode, when the terminal starts the call function, the terminal outputs the audio signal through the receiver, and the user listens to the sound signal sent by the terminal through the receiver to make a voice call. After the high-volume call mode is turned on, in the high-volume call mode, when it is detected that the terminal has turned on the voice call function, the output device of the terminal audio signal is switched from the receiver to the speaker. At this time, the user can listen to the voice through the speaker during the voice call . Since the functions of the receiver and the speaker are basically the same, only the output power is different. Specifically, the chip switch inside the terminal can be controlled to connect the output circuit of the audio signal to the speaker circuit and disconnect it from the receiver circuit to realize switching.

S130. Remind the user to adjust the direction of the handheld terminal so that the speaker is close to the user's ear.

Generally, the receiver is set on the front of the terminal, which is one side of the main screen, and the speaker is set on the back of the terminal. After switching the output device of the terminal audio signal from the receiver to the speaker, the user needs to adjust the direction of the handheld terminal so that the speaker is close to the user's ear for listening. For voice, since the output volume of the speaker is greater than that of the receiver, using the speaker to listen to the sound signal during a voice call can achieve the effect of increasing the call volume of the terminal.

Further, when it is detected that the terminal enables the voice call function, the method further includes: selecting the MIC of the terminal closest to the sound source after the user adjusts the direction of the handheld terminal as the main call MIC.

Generally, two MICs are set on the terminal, one is the main MIC, and the other is the secondary MIC. The main purpose of setting dual MICs is to eliminate noise, and the difference in signal strength, phase, and time caused by the position difference of the two MICs can be used to separate noise and sound signals. In order to better eliminate noise, the main MIC and sub MIC are generally located far away, and the main MIC is generally located closer to the sound source during the call, as the main call MIC. In the high-volume call mode, after switching the output device of the terminal audio signal from the receiver to the speaker, the call volume of the terminal can be increased. According to the relative position of the receiver and the speaker on the terminal, the user will adjust the direction of the handheld terminal so that the speaker is close to the ear to answer the voice call. The relative position may also change. In order to better realize the call function of the terminal, it is necessary to use the MIC closest to the sound source as the main call MIC of the terminal. The main MIC and sub-MIC of the terminal are connected to the audio processing chip inside the terminal. The audio processing chip processes the signals received by the main MIC and the sub-MIC respectively. The circuit connected to the main MIC and the Circuit switching for sub-MIC connection.

Specifically, when the main MIC and speaker of the terminal are set at one end of the terminal, the sub-MIC and the receiver are set at the other end opposite to the main MIC, and the receiver is set on the front of the terminal, and the speaker is set on the back of the terminal, The terminal MIC closest to the sound source is a secondary MIC of the terminal.

Exemplarily, FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C are respectively a front schematic diagram and a rear schematic diagram of a terminal provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The installation positions of the terminal speaker 14, the receiver 13, the main MIC11 and the auxiliary MIC12 are shown in Figure 1B and Figure 1C. When making a voice call in the normal mode, the user holds the terminal from the back 20 of the terminal with the palm of the user's hand, and the front 10 of the terminal is close to the user's face. At this time, the receiver 13 is close to the user's ear, and the main MIC 11 of the terminal is close to the sound source. When making a voice call in the high-volume call mode, after the user adjusts the direction of the handheld terminal, the direction of the handheld terminal is shown in Figure 1D. The user's palm holds the terminal from the front of the terminal. 14 is close to the user's ear. It can be seen that the secondary MIC12 of the terminal is closest to the sound source at this time, and the secondary MIC12 of the terminal is selected as the main call MIC. At this time, the main MIC11 of the terminal is mainly used for noise reduction.

In the technical solution provided by this embodiment, the terminal receives the user's settings to turn on the high-volume call mode, and when making a voice call in the high-volume call mode, the output device of the terminal audio signal is switched from the receiver to the speaker, and then the user is reminded to put the speaker close to the ear , since the output volume of the speaker is higher than the output volume of the receiver, the effect of increasing the volume of the terminal call can be achieved. Finally, according to the direction of the handheld terminal adjusted by the user, the MIC closest to the sound source is used as the main call MIC to better realize terminal reception. The sound signal sent by the user can meet the needs of the user when the user needs to increase the volume of the call, and when the volume of the call is increased, it only needs to switch the existing functional modules inside the terminal without increasing the cost.

Embodiment two

FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for increasing the call volume of a terminal provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this embodiment, relevant steps are added on the basis of Embodiment 1 for optimization. As shown in Figure 2, the method for increasing the call volume of the terminal provided by this embodiment includes the following steps:

S210. Receive the user's setting, and turn on the high-volume call mode;

S220. In the high-volume call mode, when it is detected that the terminal enables the voice call function, switch the output device of the terminal audio signal from the receiver to the speaker;

S230. Remind the user to adjust the direction of the handheld terminal so that the speaker is close to the user's ear;

After switching the output device of the terminal audio signal from the receiver to the speaker, the user needs to adjust the reverse direction of the handheld terminal so that the speaker is close to the ear, so that the user can receive a relatively large call volume. In order to facilitate the user to perform this operation, the user may be reminded to adjust the direction of the handheld terminal.

Specifically, the user is prompted to adjust the direction of the handheld terminal by voice or vibration;

Alternatively, an arrow pointing on the terminal interface prompts the user to adjust the direction of the handheld terminal.

S240. Decrease the maximum output volume of the speaker;

After the user adjusts the direction of the handheld terminal, the speaker of the terminal is close to the user's ear, and the volume of the speaker of the terminal is generally higher than that of the receiver. When the sound output by the speaker is too high, the user's hearing may be damaged. In order to protect the user's hearing, it is necessary to reduce the maximum output volume of the speaker, so that even when the output volume of the speaker is at the maximum value, the user's hearing will not be damaged.

S250. When the terminal voice call ends, turn off the high-volume call mode, and restore the terminal's speaker, receiver, and MIC to the settings and states before the voice call function is turned on.

Considering that the high-volume call mode is not suitable for all people, it may be in some special occasions that users need to make voice calls in the high-volume call mode, and the high-volume call mode may also be required by some special groups of people . Therefore, when the terminal voice call ends, the high-volume call mode can be turned off, so that when the user makes a voice call next time, the default is the normal mode, and the user can make a voice call in the usual way, only when the call needs to be increased When the volume is turned on, the high-volume call mode of the terminal is turned on to achieve the effect of increasing the call volume of the terminal, which is convenient for users to use the high-volume call mode to make calls flexibly. The loud volume call mode is an optional mode, and the user can enable it in advance or during a voice call.

After the terminal turns off the high-volume call mode, it is necessary to restore the speaker, receiver and MIC of the terminal to the setting and state before the voice call function is turned on, that is, the receiver of the terminal is used as the output device of the audio signal during the call. The MIC is used as the main call MIC, and the secondary MIC is used for noise reduction.

In the technical solution provided by this embodiment, when the terminal turns on the high-volume communication mode for voice calls, the output device of the terminal audio signal is switched from the receiver to the speaker, and the user puts the speaker close to the ear to listen to the voice, because the volume of the speaker is higher than that of the receiver. Volume, by reducing the maximum output volume of the speaker can protect the user's hearing from damage. Turn off the high-volume call mode after the call is over, restore the functions of the terminal speaker and receiver, the main MIC and the sub-MIC, and automatically turn off the mode at the end of each high-volume call mode, and then set it to open when the user needs to increase the call volume The volume call mode meets the needs of users in different situations.
