Abstract:
An earphone assembly includes a control box, a first earphone and a second earphone. The control box includes a microprocessor, a first acceleration sensor module, and a sound source output controller electrically connected with the microprocessor. The first acceleration sensor module is electrically connected with the microprocessor for reading three-axis gravity acceleration variation values, and then the three-axis gravity acceleration variation values are transmitted to the microprocessor for calculating a tilt angle of the control box at the time of the earphone assembly being worn. The first earphone is electrically connected with the control box and includes a second acceleration sensor module. The second acceleration sensor module is mounted in the first earphone for reading the three-axis gravity acceleration variation values. The second earphone is electrically connected with the control box.

Claim (Index 12):
A sound channel control method applied in an earphone assembly, the earphone assembly including a control box, a first earphone and a second earphone, the control box including a microprocessor and a first acceleration sensor module, the first earphone electrically connected with the control box, including a first detecting module and a second acceleration sensor module, the second earphone electrically connected with the control box, including a second detecting module, the sound channel control method comprising the steps of:\n starting the earphone assembly, the first detecting module and the second detecting module detecting whether a user has worn the first earphone and the second earphone in a left ear and a right ear of the user, respectively, and when the first detecting module and the second detecting module detect the user has worn the first earphone and the second earphone in the left ear and the right ear, respectively, executing the next step; reading three-axis gravity acceleration variation values of the first acceleration sensor module and the second acceleration sensor module respectively, and then transmitting the three-axis gravity acceleration variation values of the first acceleration sensor module and the second acceleration sensor module to the microprocessor to calculate tilt angles of the control box and the first earphone at the time of the first earphone together with the control box being worn; and judging which of the left ear and the right ear of the user is each of the first earphone and the second earphone worn in according to the tilt angles of the control box and the first earphone at the time of the first earphone together with the control box being worn, and then outputting corresponding left sound channel signals and right sound channel signals to the first earphone and the second earphone, respectively according to specific wearing statuses of the first earphone and the second earphone; wherein judging which of the left ear and the right ear of the user is each of the first earphone and the second earphone worn in is performed by a specific process including:\n a first step of judging which of the left ear and the right ear is the first earphone worn in and which of the left ear and the right ear is the second earphone worn in respectively according to the tilt angle of the first earphone; \n a second step of judging which of the left ear and the right ear is the first earphone worn in and which of the left ear and the right ear is the second earphone worn in respectively according to the tilt angle of the control box if the first step is unable to judge; and \n a third step of keeping a current status if the second step is still unable to judge, namely, outputting the left sound channel signals and the right sound channel signals according to initial settings of the earphone assembly.
