Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only some structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings but not all structures.

Embodiment one

Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a multi-user volume control method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where multiple users of a music playback system interfere with each other when playing audio signals of different volumes respectively. The method can be executed by a terminal configured with music playback system control software, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc., and the method specifically includes the following steps:

Step 110: Determine and display a target playgroup, where the target playgroup is a playgroup belonging to other users.

Wherein, other users are users in the music playing system other than the current user.

The user information included in the music playback system and the playback groups that the user can use (also called the attribution relationship between the playback group and the user) are stored in the terminal configured with the music playback system control software. When the user logs into the music playing system for the first time, the management software of the music playing system provides the user with available playing groups, and generates the attribution relationship between the playing groups and the user according to the playing group selected by the user. A playback group belongs to only one user, and a user can use one or at least two playback groups.

The affiliation relationship between the user and the playback group can be saved through the mapping relationship table shown in Table 1. Among them, playgroup A and playgroup B belong to user A; playgroup C belongs to user B; playgroup D and playgroup E belong to user C. If the current user is user A, the target playback group is playback group C, playback group D, or playback group E.

Table 1

User ID Playgroup ID User A Play Group A, Play Group B User B play group C User C Play Group D, Play Group E

After the target playgroup is obtained, information of all target playgroups is displayed in the form of a list. The user can select a certain target play group to set according to the displayed information.

Step 120, receiving a target volume threshold currently input by the user.

Wherein, the target volume threshold is smaller than the rated playback threshold of the target playback group. For example: the rated playback threshold of the target playback group is 150 decibels, and the target volume threshold is 100 decibels.

After the target playgroup is obtained, information of all target playgroups is displayed. The user can select a certain target playing group to set according to the displayed information, and input the target volume threshold as the volume threshold of the target playing group.

As an example of a user interface, as shown in Figure 2, when the user sets the volume threshold of the target play group, the terminal displays the slideway corresponding to the volume of the target playgroup and the slider on the slideway, and the slideways are from small to large Corresponding to the minimum volume of the target playback group to the rated playback threshold, and the playback percentage (such as 0%-100%) is displayed on the slide. After the user slides the slider to a certain ratio and clicks the OK button, the terminal obtains the percentage corresponding to the slider, and multiplies the percentage by the rated volume threshold of the target playback group to obtain the target volume threshold.

Step 130, configure the volume threshold of at least one target playback group as the target volume threshold, so that at least one target playback group outputs an audio signal according to the target volume threshold.

The playback devices in the same playback group use a volume threshold for output. The terminal can send the target volume threshold to the target playback device in the target playback group, and the target playback device will save the target volume threshold and output it according to the target volume threshold, so as to realize the configuration of the volume threshold of the target playback group as the target volume threshold Effect. When the target playback devices in the target playback group output audio signals, the maximum playback volume is the target volume threshold. Optionally, the terminal may store the first playing threshold locally, and when the target playing group plays, the terminal controls the target playing device of the target playing group to output according to the first playing threshold.

Further, the user can adjust some target playback groups according to actual adjustment requirements, so as to be more targeted; or, the user can adjust all target playback groups, and then configure the volume thresholds of all target playback groups through one setting.

The technical solution of this embodiment can control the target play group to output according to the target volume threshold input by the user. Compared with the prior art, the playing group with higher volume affects the playing effect of other playing groups, in the present invention, the current user can adjust the volume threshold of the playing group (target playing group) belonging to other users, and then control the target playing group The volume of the target playback group and the current user's playback group will not interfere with each other, thereby optimizing the playback effect of the playback group.

Embodiment two

Embodiment One provides an implementation method of manually selecting a target playback group. In order to reduce user operations, the terminal automatically recognizes it. This embodiment provides a multi-user volume control method. As a further description of Embodiment 1, music There is a situation that each user corresponds to a play group in the playback system, as shown in Figure 3, step 110, determining and displaying at least one target play group includes:

Step 111, acquiring the location information of the current user.

Through positioning schemes such as GSP positioning, the coordinates of the current user can be obtained. The location information of the current user can be determined by searching the location area where the coordinates of the current user are located. The location area is the name of the functional area corresponding to the playback group in the area covered by the music playback system, such as dining room, master bedroom, and living room. Optionally, the location area may also be identified by a coordinate interval.

Step 112, searching for the first playing group that is in the same location area as the location information.

When setting up the playing group, the terminal not only saves the belonging relationship between the playing group and the user, but also saves the location area where each playing group is located. As shown in Table 2, the corresponding relationship between the playing group and the location area is stored therein, indicating the location area where the playing group is located.

Table 2

Playgroup ID location area play group A Dining room play group B master bedroom play group C living room play group D second bedroom play group E bathroom

Table 1 and Table 2 can be managed by a relational database. If the location information of the current user acquired in step 111 is a restaurant, then the first playback group is playback group A whose location area is also a restaurant.

Step 113: Determine at least one playback group other than the first playback group as at least one target playback group.

Since each playback group belongs to one user, all playback groups except the first playback group belong to other users. Therefore, by means of exclusion, the playgroups other than the first playgroup are determined as target playgroups.

Step 114, displaying the location information of the first playing group and the location information of at least one target playing group.

A distribution map containing the location areas corresponding to the location information of each playing group is generated, and the location information of each playing group is displayed in each location area in the distribution map.

Take a family house covered by a music playback system as an example. As shown in Figure 4, the floor plan of the house is displayed, and the corresponding playing groups are displayed in each functional area of the floor plan, such as the living room (playing group A), kitchen (playing group B ), bedroom (playing group C), in Fig. 4, the playing group is not set in the bathroom, so the playing group information is not displayed in the bathroom area. If the current user is in the bedroom, the user identifier is displayed in the bedroom to represent the current location area of the user.

The technical solution provided by this embodiment can determine the target playback group according to the location information of the current user in the scenario where the playback group corresponds to the user one by one. After the terminal saves the location information of each playback group, it can provide the user with the location information of each playback group. Location information, which is convenient for users to know the location of each playback group, thereby improving the effectiveness of mediation.

When each user corresponds to at least two playgroups, in addition to the location area where the current user is located, there are other location areas including playgroups subordinate to the current user. At this time, using the above method to determine the target playgroup will cause errors. Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a multi-user volume control method, as a further description of the above, as shown in Figure 5, step 110, determining and displaying at least one target play group, can be performed in the following manner Implementation:

Step 115, acquiring at least two second playing groups corresponding to the current user.

The second playing group is a playing group belonging to the current user. In Table 1, if the current user is user A, then the second playing group is playing group A and playing group B. The playback group A and the playback group B are respectively located in different location areas. For example, as shown in Table 2, the playback group A is located in the dining room, and the playback group B is located in the master bedroom.

Step 116, determining a playback group other than the second playback group as at least one target playback group.

Step 117, displaying at least one target playing group.

The technical solution provided by this embodiment can accurately determine the target playback group when one user corresponds to multiple playback groups, and improve the accuracy of volume control under multiple users.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides a multi-user volume control method. As a further description of the above embodiment, before step 110, determining and displaying at least one target play group, the shown method also includes:

If there are at least two users in the music playing system, the volume thresholds of at least two playing groups corresponding to all users are configured as preset thresholds.

Wherein, the preset threshold is smaller than the rated volume threshold of the playing group, which is a preset percentage of the rated volume threshold. For example, the preset threshold is 80% of the rated volume threshold. At this time, the volume thresholds of each playback group in the music playback system are configured to be 80% of the rated volume threshold.

If the current user thinks that the target playback group still affects the playback effect when the volume threshold is 80%, or the current user thinks that the target playback group can use a higher volume threshold (such as 90%), then the target playback group can be adjusted according to the method shown in Figure 1. The playback threshold of the playback group can be further adjusted.

The technical solution provided by this embodiment can adjust the volume threshold of each playback group by the terminal according to the preset threshold when it is determined that there are more than two user-controlled playback groups for output before the user inputs the volume threshold of the target playback group , to achieve automatic volume adjustment.

In the above technical solution, the current user controls the volume threshold of the target playback group belonging to other users. If other users do not want the volume threshold of their own playback group to be adjusted by the current user, conflicts will arise.

In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a multi-user volume control method. As a further description of the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, in step 120, the target volume threshold input by the current user is received Afterwards, the above method also includes:

Step 140, obtain the operation weights of the current user and other users respectively.

As shown in Table 3, by adding an attribute value, namely the operation weight, to each record in Table 1, the operation weight of each user is saved.

table 3

User ID Playgroup ID Operation weight User A Play Group A, Play Group B 2 User B play group C 1 User C Play Group D, Play Group E 1

The step 130, configuring the volume threshold of the target playback group as the target volume threshold includes:

Step 131, if the operation weight of the current user is greater than the operation weight of other users, configure the volume threshold of at least one target playback group as the target volume threshold.

A user with a higher operation weight can control the volume threshold of the playback group of a user with a lower operation weight. Taking the data provided in Table 3 as an example, the operation weight of user A is higher than that of user B and user C, so when user A is the current user, user B's playback group C and user C's playback group D, playback group E volume threshold is controlled. User B and user C have the same operation weight, so user B cannot control the volume thresholds of user C's playback group D and playback group E; similarly, user C cannot control the volume threshold of user B's playback group C control.

Optionally, if the operation weight of the current user is greater than or equal to the operation weight of the other users, then configure the volume threshold of the at least one target playback group as the target volume threshold.

In addition to the fact that users with higher operation weights can control the playback groups of users with lower operation weights, users with the same operation weights can also control the volume threshold. In Table 3, user B and user C have the same operation weight. In an alternative solution, user B can control the playback thresholds of user C's playback group D and playback group E; similarly, user C can control user C's B's play group C's play threshold is controlled.

The technical solution provided by this embodiment can control the volume threshold of the target playback group according to the user's operation weight, so that in a music playback system with multiple users, multiple users can control the playback volume of each other's playback groups at the same time , determine whether to adjust the volume threshold of the playback group according to the value of the operation weight to prevent conflicts.

After the user sets the volume threshold of the target playback group, if the user thinks that there is no need to control the volume of the target playback group, the user needs to manually configure the volume threshold of the target playback group as the rated volume threshold, otherwise the volume threshold of the target playback group will be The target volume threshold that is always configured for the user. In this way, the user needs to repeatedly set the volume threshold of the target playback group to restore the volume threshold of the target playback group.

In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a multi-user volume control method. As a further description of the above embodiment, in step 130, configure the volume threshold of the at least one target playback group as the target After the volume threshold, perform the following steps:

1. If a do-not-disturb mode switching instruction triggered by the current user is received, control the target playback group to output according to the target volume threshold.

2. If the working mode switching instruction triggered by the current user is received, control the target playback group to output according to the rated volume threshold of the target playback group.

A mode switch button is provided in the software for controlling the music playback system, and the user can select a different playback mode by clicking or sliding the button, and the playback mode is a do-not-disturb mode or a working mode. In working mode, each playback group outputs according to the rated volume threshold. In the Do Not Disturb mode, the target playback group will output according to the target volume threshold input by the user.

The technical solution provided by this embodiment can quickly set and restore the volume threshold of the target playback group by switching between the do not disturb mode and the working mode, and improve the configuration efficiency of the volume threshold of the target playback group.
