Patent number: 11985470Abstract: A method is for determining a wearing state of earphones. The method includes determining an onto-ears event or off-ears event experienced by the earphones on the basis of first data indicating motion of the earphones. The method further includes determining a first wearing state of the earphones on the basis of second data indicating proximity of the earphones to a user's skin. The method additionally includes determining the wearing state of the earphones on the basis of the determined onto-ears event or off-ears event and the first wearing state. This increases the accuracy of detection of the wearing state of the earphones. Based on this more accurately determined wearing state, the earphones can switch appropriately between a low power consumption mode and a normal operating mode, thereby improving the energy consumption of the earphones.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Chunlei Dai, Tongtong Jiao, Ji Chen, Bin Du
