An audio output method applied to an electronic device having a proximity sensor, where the method includes obtaining proximity data of the proximity sensor when the electronic device is coupled to an audio output device and has an audio signal to output, outputting, by an earpiece of the electronic device, the audio signal when the proximity data meets a preset condition, determining a type of the audio output device, and selecting, based on the type of the audio output device, whether to output the audio signal using the audio output device. Hence, an earpiece is enabled to output an audio signal under a specific condition when an electronic device including a mobile phone is coupled to another audio output device, thereby improving user experience.

A method is disclosed for performing extension mobility via a headset connection. The method includes receiving a headset identifier from a headset. Also, the method includes, in response to receiving the headset identifier, sending the headset identifier to a device management server. Further, the method includes receiving a call control user identifier from the device management server, and sending, to a call control server, the call control user identifier. Still yet, the method includes receiving, from the call control server, a configuration profile associated with the call control user identifier. One or more settings of a desk phone are configured using the configuration profile.

A call control entity communicates with Internet Protocol (IP) phones. The call control entity creates a mapping between a headset identifier of a headset connected to a registered first IP phone, and an identifier associated with the first IP phone. Upon receiving a request from a second IP phone that is not registered, the call control entity determines there is no existing IP phone record for the second IP phone. Responsive to the determining, the call control entity acquires from the second IP phone the headset identifier, and accesses an first IP phone record of the first IP phone based on the headset identifier and the mapping. The call control entity creates a second IP phone record for the second IP phone, copies existing configuration information from the first IP phone record to the second IP phone record, and configures the second IP phone with the existing configuration information.

A mobile phone device includes a housing having a substantially rectangular shape wherein its height dimension substantially corresponds to a distance between an ear and a mouth of a user and wherein its width dimension is less than its height dimension. A display unit is integrated within the front surface of the mobile phone device. The display unit substantially entirely covers the front surface of the mobile phone device. The mobile phone device does not include a physical key on the front surface.

Spatial audio is received from an audio server over a first communication link. The spatial audio is converted by a cloud spatial audio processing system into binaural audio. The binauralized audio is streamed from the cloud spatial audio processing system to a mobile station over a second communication link to cause the mobile station to play the binaural audio on the personal audio delivery device.

A terminal device includes a processor, a direct stream digital (DSD) audio playback circuit, and a headset jack. The processor is connected to the DSD audio playback circuit, and the DSD audio playback circuit is connected to the headset jack. The processor outputs a DSD audio signal to the DSD audio playback circuit in response to triggering performed by a user. The DSD audio playback circuit is configured to process the DSD audio signal, generate an alert tone based on a current scenario, and superpose the processed DSD audio signal and the alert tone. The headset jack is configured to connect to a headset and play the superposed audio signal and alert tone using the headset.

The present disclosure relates to audio data processing methods and devices. One example method includes obtaining a first audio data and a second audio data, converting the first audio data into a first channel of audio data and converting the second audio data into a second channel of audio data, and at least one of outputting the first channel of audio data to a first audio output device or outputting the second channel of audio data to a second audio output device.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to provide to a storage entity information relating to pairing an accessory with the apparatus, and determine an event and at least partly responsive to the event, notify the storage entity, the apparatus and/or the accessory of the event.

Embodiments of this application disclose a call method and an apparatus. In the call method, when a user does not actively select an audio device as a voice pickup device and a voice play device, after establishing a call connection to another electronic device, an electronic device selects, from available audio devices, an audio device that meets a user expectation as the voice pickup device and the voice play device. According to technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, user experience in a call process can be improved.

A head-worn audio device is provided with a circuit for voice signal enhancement. The circuit comprises at least a plurality of microphones, arranged at predefined positions, where each microphone provides a microphone signal. The circuit further comprises a directivity pre-processor and a blind source separation processor. The directivity pre-processor is connected with the plurality of microphones to receive the microphone signals and being configured to provide at least a voice signal and a noise signal. Directivity pre-processing increases the mutual independence of the signals provided to the blind source separation processor and thus improves processing by blind source separation. The blind source separation processor receives at least the voice signal and the noise signal, and is configured to conduct blind source separation on at least the voice signal and the noise signal to provide at least an enhanced voice signal with reduced noise components.
