Abstract

Disclosed is a control method for an audio device, the audio device includes a playing component and a display screen rotatably connected to the playing component, and the control method for the audio device includes the following steps: detecting a position of a user; determining a rotation mode of the display screen according to the position; acquiring a display expression corresponding to the rotation mode; and displaying the display expression on the display screen, and controlling the display screen to operate according to the rotation mode. This disclosure further provides an audio device and a computer-readable storage medium. This application improves the user's interaction experience with the audio device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control method for an audio device, wherein the audio device comprises a playing component and a display screen rotatably connected to the playing component, and the control method for the audio device comprises the following steps:
detecting a position of a user;
determining a rotation mode of the display screen according to the position, wherein the rotation mode comprises a first rotation mode, the first rotation mode is to control the display screen to rotate back and forth at a first preset angle, a value of the first preset angle ranges from 10° to 30°;
acquiring a display expression corresponding to the rotation mode, wherein the display expression comprises a confused mode expression, a surprise mode expression, a thinking mode expression, and a daze mode expression;
displaying the display expression on the display screen, and controlling the display screen to operate according to the rotation mode;
in response to detecting a preset instruction issued by the user, determining a current operating mode of the display screen, wherein the operating mode comprises a working mode, a standby mode and a sleep mode, the daze mode expression is displayed in response to that the display screen is in the sleep mode, and the preset instruction comprises controlling an audio device to play music, and issuing a query instruction to the audio device;
in a determination that the operating mode is the working mode, performing the step of detecting the position of the user; and
in response to detecting that the display screen in the working mode does not receive the preset instruction issued by the user within a preset duration, controlling the operating mode of the display screen to switch to the standby mode, wherein a value of the preset duration ranges from 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and in response to that the current operating mode of the display screen is the standby mode, the display screen is woken up by a voice instruction with a wake-up word issued by the user.

2. The control method for the audio device of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining a rotation mode of the display screen according to the position comprises:
determining a target area according to the position; and
determining the rotation mode of the display screen according to the target area.

3. The control method for the audio device of claim 2 , wherein:
in a determination that the target area is a first area, determining that the rotation mode is the first rotation mode;
in a determination that the target area is a second area, determining that the rotation mode is a second rotation mode, wherein the second rotation mode is to control the display screen to rotate counterclockwise; or
in a determination that the target area is a third area, determining that the rotation mode is a third rotation mode, wherein the third rotation mode is to control the display screen to rotate clockwise.

4. The control method for the audio device of claim 2 , wherein sound apparatuses are arranged on the playing component, and after the step of determining a target area according to the position, the control method for the audio device further comprises:
acquiring a sound apparatus corresponding to the target area as a target sound apparatus; and
controlling the audio device to output sound effects through the target sound apparatus.

5. The control method for the audio device of claim 4 , wherein before the step of controlling the audio device to output sound effects through the target sound apparatus, the control method for the audio device further comprises:
detecting whether the user is in motion; wherein:
in a determination that the user is not in motion, performing the step of acquiring a sound apparatus corresponding to the target area as a target sound apparatus; or
in a determination that the user is in motion, acquiring all the sound apparatuses of the audio device as the target sound apparatus.

6. The control method for the audio device of claim 1 , wherein after the step of in response to detecting a preset instruction issued by the user, determining a current operating mode of the display screen, the control method for the audio device further comprises:
in a determination that the operating mode is the standby mode, displaying a display expression corresponding to the first rotation mode on the display screen, and controlling the display screen to operate according to the first rotation mode; and
controlling the display screen to switch from the standby mode to the working mode.

7. The control method for the audio device of claim 1 , wherein after the step of in response to detecting a preset instruction issued by the user, determining a current operating mode of the display screen, the control method for the audio device further comprises:
in a determination that the operating mode is the sleep mode, displaying a display expression corresponding to a fourth rotation mode on the display screen, and controlling the display screen to operate according to the fourth rotation mode, wherein the fourth rotation mode is to control the display screen to rotate around a rotating shaft in a preset rotation direction until an angle between the display screen and a horizontal plane is increased to a second preset angle, and the playing component is rotatably connected to the display screen through the rotating shaft; and
controlling the display screen to switch from the sleep mode to the working mode.

8. An audio device, comprising a playing component and a display screen rotatably connected to the playing component, wherein the audio device comprises a memory, a processor, and a control program for the audio device stored on the memory and operable on the processor, and when the control program for the audio device is executed by the processor, the steps of the control method for the audio device as recited in claim 1 are implemented.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein a control program for an audio device is stored thereon, and when the control program for the audio device is executed by a processor, the steps of the control method for the audio device as recited in claim 1 are implemented.
