Description

Method and system for adjusting volume of mobile terminal

technical field

The invention relates to the field of electronic appliances, in particular to a volume adjustment method and system for a mobile terminal.

Background technique

During the use of mobile terminals (such as mobile phones), it is often necessary to adjust the ringtone or call volume at any time according to the use environment. For example, when the user receives an incoming call in a quiet environment such as an office or a meeting The ringtone of the mobile phone is easy to arouse the disgust of others; when the user puts the mobile phone in a pocket or other isolated space while walking or the mobile phone is in a noisy environment in a high-speed car, if the volume of the mobile phone is set too low, the ringtone will The volume is too low and calls are missed. However, the existing mobile terminal volume adjustment generally requires the user to manually set it according to his own subjective feeling. Although it can meet the general needs of the user, the timeliness is not high because the user operation is relatively lagging; the degree of intelligence is low, and the volume needs to be adjusted frequently. The switching of the button will easily cause the user's impatience and reduce the user experience; moreover, frequent operations will speed up the wear and tear of the mechanical buttons.

Therefore, it is really necessary to provide a method that can adapt the mobile terminal to various usage environments and realize intelligent volume adjustment in due course.

Detailed ways

A method for adjusting the volume of a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal of the present invention includes intelligent terminals such as smart phones and tablet computers, and has a proximity sensor and an acceleration sensor. Preferably, the proximity sensor is arranged on the back of the casing of the mobile terminal to To adapt to the user's general shelving habits for mobile terminals, the proximity sensor can be an infrared proximity sensor, and the steps of the method include:

A. Continuously detect whether there is a relative distance between the mobile terminal and the external object through the proximity sensor. If so, adjust the volume of the reminder ringtone to decrease or maintain the initial volume of the reminder ringtone, otherwise perform step B;

B. The acceleration sensor collects motion data, and when it is judged that the mobile terminal is in a moving state, the volume of the reminder ringtone is adjusted to increase; otherwise, the volume of the reminder ringtone remains unchanged.

The prompt ringtone in the present invention may be a prompt ringtone for an incoming call or for receiving a short message. Preferably, when an incoming call or a short message signal is detected, the proximity sensor and the acceleration sensor are activated to detect the state of the mobile terminal, thereby intelligently adjusting the volume of the prompt ringtone.

In step A, taking the infrared proximity sensor as an example, the realization of proximity sensing is to judge the approach or departure by detecting the amount of infrared energy emitted by the IRLED and reflected back by the external barrier through the sensor. The continuous detection of whether the relative distance between the mobile terminal and the external object through the proximity sensor includes: setting the infrared proximity sensor on the back of the mobile terminal casing to continuously collect the reflected infrared energy value; judging whether the infrared energy value is reduced to a predetermined amount A change threshold is set; if it is, it is judged that a relative distance action occurs between the mobile terminal and the original approaching object in the outside world. Corresponding to the actual action of the user, the user takes the mobile terminal away from the original place after detecting an incoming call or receiving a short message (for example, the user takes the mobile terminal out of the pocket or bag, or picks it up from the desktop), so that The mobile terminal is far away from the original approaching object. At this time, adjust the volume of the notification ringtone to decrease in order to prevent the ringtone from disturbing other people around or maintain the initial volume of the notification ringtone. If it is judged that there is no relative distance between the mobile terminal and the original approaching object in the outside world, then corresponding to the actual action of the user, the user did not notice the incoming call or received the short message, and thus did not take any action. At this time, turn to step B.

Further, the step A of adjusting the volume of the reminder ringtone means adjusting the volume of the reminder ringtone to decrease gradually to the lower limit of the volume at a preset volume change value.

In step B, the motion data collected by the acceleration sensor includes the motion speed and acceleration of the mobile terminal, mainly referring to the motion speed of the mobile terminal. Judging that the mobile terminal is in a moving state specifically means that the collected motion data reaches (that is, is greater than or equal to) a preset motion reference value. When it is judged that the mobile terminal is in the moving state, it is often that the user is carrying the mobile terminal and is in the moving state, and it is difficult to perceive the prompting ringtone. At this time, the volume of the prompting ringtone is increased to attract the user's attention. Further, in step B, adjusting the volume increase of the reminder ringtone refers to adjusting the reminder ringtone to gradually increase to the volume upper limit with a preset volume change value, and the volume will not increase after the volume reaches the upper limit. Preferably, when the volume is increasing, the proximity sensor continues to detect the external environment of the mobile terminal and adjusts the volume of the prompt ringtone according to the detection result. The volume of the ringtone reminds you to detect an incoming call or a short message, so you can take the mobile terminal out of your pocket or bag. At this time, you can adjust the reminder ringtone to decrease to the lower limit of the volume or the initial volume to avoid disturbing others.

When the prompt ringtone decreases to the volume lower limit or the initial volume, the process of intelligently adjusting the volume ends. When the user executes the operation of connecting the incoming call or checking the short message and the ring tone prompting process is interrupted, the process of intelligently adjusting the volume ends.

Further, before the step A, it also includes: setting the initial volume, the volume lower limit, the volume upper limit and the volume change value of the reminder ringtone. For the intelligent adjustment of ringtones, in order to be more user-friendly, it should be possible for the user to preset the initial volume, the lower limit of the volume, the upper limit of the volume, and the volume change value (that is, the volume increase or decrease value at a time).
