DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the description, same or similar reference numerals denote same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, but should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

The dual-vision display device and the driving method thereof according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of a dual-vision display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the dual-vision display device includes a first directional speaker 10 and a second directional speaker 20.

Specifically, the first directional speaker 10 is configured for directionally playing a first audio associated with a first video signal when a picture corresponding to the first video signal is shown in the first view zone. The second directional speaker 20 is configured for directionally playing a second audio associated with a second video signal when a picture corresponding to the second video signal is shown in the second view zone.

When the first directional speaker 10 and the second directional speaker 20 perform audio playing, sound waves delivered are usually high-frequency ultrasonic waves having a small sound wave divergence angle so that the sound wave is propagated with strong directivity. That is to say, the first directional speaker 10 and the second directional speaker 20 adopt a directional playing mode.

It should be noted that, in FIG. 1, the first view zone and the second view zone are intended to explain that the dual-vision display device can generate the first view zone and the second view zone, and the picture corresponding to the first video signal and the picture corresponding to the second video signal may be displayed in the first view zone and the second view zone respectively. In this embodiment, the specific positions and ranges of the two view zones are not limited.

It is necessary for users synchronously to listen to the sound while watching the picture corresponding to the video signal. Therefore, each video signal has an audio that needs to be played in a synchronized manner. Herein, the audio and the video signal that need to be played in a synchronized manner are referred to as associated audio and video signal. That is, the first video signal has an associated first audio and the second video signal has an associated second audio.

As a possible implementation manner, in order to further clearly explain the principle that the first directional speaker 10 and the second directional speaker 20 play audio directionally, FIG. 2 is a schematic principle diagram of implementing a directional playing of sound according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and specifically it includes a modulation portion 101 and a demodulation portion 102.

The modulation portion 101 is configured to modulate an inputted audio signal to obtain an ultrasonic wave. The modulation portion 101 includes the first directional speaker 10 and the second directional speaker 20. The principle that the first directional speaker 10 implements the directional playing is the same as that of the second directional speaker 20. In this embodiment, the first directional speaker 10 is taken as an example for description. As a possible implementation manner, the first directional speaker 10 is driven by an amplifier, the amplifier sends voltage to a metal polymer film of the first directional speaker 10, and then the metal polymer film is forced to vibrate in 60000 Hertz or higher frequency to generate the ultrasonic wave.

The demodulation portion 102 includes air medium and human ear medium, which can be regarded as a non-linear system and can convert the ultrasonic wave into an audible wave.

The ultrasonic wave emitted by the modulation portion 101 has high directivity. The difference frequency ultrasonic wave generated by the non-linear effect also has high directivity as the ultrasonic wave is propagated in the air medium, thereby the directional propagation of the sound can be realized, that is, a directional sound generation can be realized.

The working principle of the second directional speaker 20 is the same as that of the first directional speaker 10, therefore it will not be described again herein.

In the dual-vision display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first directional speaker is configured for playing a first audio associated with a first video signal when a picture corresponding to the first video signal is viewed in the first view zone. The second directional speaker is configured for playing a second audio associated with a second video signal when a picture corresponding to the second video signal is viewed in the second view zone. By providing the first directional speaker and the second directional speaker, directional playing audios may be obtained when viewing the corresponding video signals in different view zones. It at least partially solves the problem in the related art that it is necessary for the user to wear earphones to obtain the corresponding audio to avoid interference between different audios when viewing the videos corresponding to the different view zones by the dual-vision system.

Based on the previous embodiment, in order to further clearly explain the structure of the dual-vision display device, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a possible implementation manner of a further dual-vision display device. FIG. 3 is a schematic structural view of a dual-vision display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3, in order to enable the dual-vision display device to generate the first view zone and the second view zone which are different from each other, as a possible implementation manner, the dual-vision display device further includes a display panel 31 and a light modulator 32.

Specifically, the display panel 31 is configured to display according to the first video signal and the second video signal inputted by the dual-vision display device.

The light modulator 32 includes a grating and is disposed on a light exit side of the display panel 31. A light modulation is made to the picture displayed by the display panel 31 to form two view zones, i.e., the first view zone and the second view zone, and show a picture corresponding to the first video signal in the first view zone and a picture corresponding to the second video signal in the second view zone.

In an embodiment, the first view zone and the second view zone each have a corresponding viewing angle range. Within the viewing angle ranges corresponding to the first view zone and the second view zone, the picture corresponding to the first video signal and the picture corresponding to the second video signal may be viewed. The viewing angle ranges corresponding to the first view zone and the second view zone are predetermined by the display panel 31 and the light modulator 32.

The dual-vision display devices according to this embodiment and the previous embodiment can be applied to various display products, such as a television, an advertisement display screen, an electronic picture frame, and the like.

Next, an electronic picture frame is taken as an example to describe the structure of the dual-vision display device in an actual product. FIG. 4 is a schematic structural view of a dual-vision display device applied to an electronic picture frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, reference numeral 01 denotes a housing of the electronic picture frame, and a first directional speaker 10 and a second directional speaker 20 are disposed opposite to each other and are close to two opposite sides of the electronic picture frame respectively. A dual-vision display 30 is configured to display according to the first video signal and the second video signal inputted by the dual-vision display device of the electronic picture frame.

In the dual-vision display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first directional speaker is configured for playing a first audio associated with a first video signal when a picture corresponding to the first video signal is viewed in the first view zone. The second directional speaker is configured for playing a second audio associated with a second video signal when a picture corresponding to the second video signal is viewed in the second view zone. By providing the first directional speaker and the second directional speaker, a directional playing audio may be obtained when viewing the corresponding video signals in different view zones. It at least partially solves the problem in the related art that it is necessary for the user to wear earphones to obtain the corresponding audio to avoid interference between different audios when viewing the videos corresponding to the different view zones by the dual-vision system.

In order to further clearly explain how to control the dual-vision display device to implement playing the audio corresponding to the view zone in different view zones in a directional manner, an embodiment of the present disclosure also propose a possible implementation manner of a further dual-vision display device, and FIG. 5A is a schematic structural view of a dual-vision display device according to a further embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5A, based on the embodiment in FIG. 1, the dual-vision display device may further include a positioning module 60.

The positioning module 60 is configured to detect a position of an object. If it is detected that the position of the object is within the first view zone, the first directional speaker 10 performs a directional playing according to the position; or if it is detected that the position of the object is within the second view zone, the second directional speaker 20 performs a directional playing according to the position. The object herein refers to a person appearing in the first view zone and the second view zone.

FIG. 5B is a schematic view showing directional playing of the directional speakers according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. If it is detected that the position A of the person is within the first view zone shown in FIG. 5B, the first directional speaker 10 adjusts a beam axis angle of the ultrasonic wave such that the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave covers the position A of the person in FIG. 5B, and then emits the ultrasonic wave according to the adjusted beam axis angle to perform the directional playing according to the position. If it is detected that the position B of the person is within the second view zone shown in FIG. 5B, the second directional speaker 20 adjusts a beam axis angle of the ultrasonic wave such that the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave covers the position B of the person in FIG. 5B, and then emits the ultrasonic wave according to the adjusted beam axis angle to perform the directional playing according to the position.

In a possible application scene, if the position of the object is detected in both the first view zone and the second view zone, the first directional speaker 10 is driven to perform the directional playing according to the position of the object in the first view zone, while the second directional speaker 20 is driven to perform the directional playing according to the position of the object in the second view zone.

In another possible application scene, if the position of the object is only detected in the first view zone, only the first directional speaker 10 is driven to perform the directional playing according to the position of the object in the first view zone.

In a further possible application scene, if the position of the object is only detected in the second view zone, only the second directional speaker 20 is driven to perform the directional playing according to the position of the object in the second view zone.

Further, the positioning module 60 may include a photographing unit 601 and a processing unit 602;

Specifically, the photographing unit 601 is configured to acquire an image covering the first view zone and the second view zone. The processing unit 602 is configured to determine the position of the object in the first view zone and/or the second view zone according to the position of the object in the image.

As a possible implementation manner, the photographing unit 601 may be one camera, which may simultaneously capture images in the first view zone and the second view zone, or two cameras, one of which is used for capturing the image in the first view zone, and the other of which is used for capturing the image in the second view zone.

As a possible implementation manner, the processing unit 602 may be an image processor. If the object is a person, the processing unit 602 acquires the image captured by the photographing unit 601 and then performs face recognition. The position correspondence between each pixel in the captured image and the first view zone or the second view zone may be calibrated in advance. After a relative position of a face region in the image is recognized, the position of the person in the first view zone or the second view zone may be determined based on the recognized relative position.

The dual-vision display device in this embodiment may be applied to an electronic product, such as an electronic picture frame, and the electronic picture frame may be applied in many scenes, such as a display store. The electronic picture frame with such a dual-vision display device can respectively display different sales promotion videos in the first view zone and the second view zone of the electronic picture frame. When a consumer enters the first view zone or the second view zone, the position of the consumer may be determined, and then the corresponding audio may be played. When the consumer leaves the corresponding view zone, the audio sound disappears immediately. For example, the video played in the first view zone is an ampoule essence newly released by a brand, when a consumer enters the first view zone, the audio heard is related to an introduction about efficiency and usage of the ampoule essence. At the same time, whitening essence of another brand is played in the second view zone, when a consumer enters the second view zone, the audio heard is related to an introduction about the whitening essence. The electronic picture frame plays two completely different videos in different view zones at the same time. However, when the consumer is in different view zones, he/she hears different audios, and after leaving the view zones, the sound disappears. Further, the audios corresponding to the different view zones will not interfere with each other, and they will not cause noise interference to the surrounding environment. It at least partially achieves the effect that, when watching videos in different view zones, without wearing earphones, the audio corresponding to the video in the view zone may be heard without interference, thereby improving user experience and convenience.

It should be noted that the dual-vision display device may also be applied to other electronic products, which will not be described herein in detail.

In the dual-vision display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the first directional speaker and the second directional speaker, a directional playing audio may be obtained when viewing the corresponding video signals in different view zones. It at least partially solves the problem in the related art that it is necessary for the user to wear earphones to obtain the corresponding audio and avoid interference between different audios when viewing the videos corresponding to the different view zones by the dual-vision system. Further, the positioning module may further determine the position of the object in the first view zone and the second view zone, adjust the beam axis angles of the first directional speaker and the second directional speaker according to the position of the object, so that the sound can cover the position of the object and it has the best sound effects, thereby improving the user experience.

In the previous embodiment, the position of the object in the first view zone and the second view zone is determined by the positioning module, and the first directional speaker and the second directional speaker perform the directional playing according to the determined position of the object. In this way, the positioning module needs to be in the state of image acquisition all the time, thereby the power consumption is large. To this end, based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 5A, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a possible implementation manner of a dual-vision display device. A sensing module is added to detect whether or not the object exists in a target area corresponding to the first view zone and a target area corresponding to the second view zone. If there is an object (for example, a person) in the target areas, the positioning module is activated to position the object. FIG. 6 is a schematic structural view of a dual-vision display device according to a still further embodiment of the present disclosure. The device may further include a sensing module 50, which is configured to detect whether or not the object exists in a target area corresponding to the first view zone and a target area corresponding to the second view zone. If a user object is detected, the positioning module 60 is activated.

As a possible implementation manner, the sensing module 50 includes an infrared sensor 501, which is configured to detect whether a person exists in a target area corresponding to the first view zone and a target area corresponding to the second view zone. If a person is detected, then the positioning module is activated. Specifically, if it is detected by the infrared sensor 501 that there is a person in the target area corresponding to the first view zone, the positioning module 60 is activated to determine the position of the person in the first view zone. If it is detected by the infrared sensor 501 that there is a person in the target area corresponding to the second view zone, the positioning module 60 is activated to determine the position of the person in the second view zone. If it is detected by the infrared sensor 501 that there is a person in each of the target area corresponding to the first view zone and the target area corresponding to the second view zone, the positioning module 60 is activated to determine the position of the person in the first view zone and the position of the person in the second view zone.

The sensing module 50 detects whether there is a person in the target area corresponding to the first view zone and the target area corresponding to the second view zone, and the positioning module 60 is only activated when there is a person in the target zone corresponding to the first view zone and/or the target area corresponding to the second view zone. In this way, it at least partially avoids the problem of high power consumption caused by long-time working of the positioning module 60, and therefore it effectively saves the power consumption of the product.

The target area corresponding to the first view zone includes the first view zone and a crosstalk zone adjacent to the first view zone, and the target area corresponding to the second view zone includes the second view zone and a crosstalk zone adjacent to the second view zone. FIG. 7 is a schematic view of view zones and crosstalk zones adjacent to the view zones according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, zone A is the first view zone, zone A′ is the crosstalk zone adjacent to the first view zone, zone B is the second view zone, zone B′ is the crosstalk zone adjacent to the second view zone, and zone C is a central crosstalk zone (i.e., not only the crosstalk zone adjacent to the first view zone, but also the crosstalk zone adjacent to the second view zone). By setting the target area to be larger than the corresponding view zone, it allows to activate the positioning module 60 in advance to detect the position of the object when the object enters the target area corresponding to the first view zone or the second view zone, thereby when it is detected by the positioning module 60 that the object is entering the first view zone or the second view zone, the first directional speaker 10 and the second directional speaker 20 are driven to perform the directional playing according to the acquired position information, reducing the delay.

As a possible implementation manner, the angle of the first view zone A shown in FIG. 7 is greater than 50 degrees, the angle of the crosstalk zone A′ adjacent to the first view zone is greater than 10 degrees and less than 30 degrees, and the angle of the central crosstalk zone C is less than 10 degrees, the crosstalk zone B′ adjacent to the second view zone is greater than 10 degrees and less than 30 degrees, and the second view zone B is greater than 50 degrees.

It should be noted that, the first view zone, the crosstalk zone adjacent to the first view zone, the central crosstalk zone, the crosstalk zone adjacent to the second view zone, and the second view zone in FIG. 7 are merely exemplary, they are not limited to the angle and the range as shown in FIG. 7, but may be adjusted and set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

As a possible implementation manner in this embodiment, the first directional speaker 10 is further configured to adjust a beam divergence angle of the first directional speaker 10 according to a viewing angle range of the first view zone, so as to determine an adjustment range of a beam axis of the first directional speaker 10, which is less than the viewing angle range. Also, in the adjustment range of the beam axis, the beam axis angle of the first directional speaker 10 is adjusted such that the beam of the first directional speaker 10 covers the position of the object determined by the positioning module 60, thereby the object can hear the first audio signal played by the first directional speaker at this position. Similarly, the second directional speaker 20 is further configured to adjust a beam divergence angle of the second directional speaker 20 according to a viewing angle range of the second view zone, so as to determine an adjustment range of a beam axis of the second directional speaker 20. Also, in the adjustment range of the beam axis, the beam axis angle of the second directional speaker 20 is adjusted such that the beam of the second directional speaker 20 covers the position of the object determined by the positioning module 60, thereby the object can hear the second audio signal played by the second directional speaker at this position.

In the dual-vision display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the first directional speaker and the second directional speaker, a directional playing audio may be obtained when viewing the corresponding video signals in different view zones. It at least partially solves the problem in the related art that it is necessary for the user to wear earphones to obtain the corresponding audio and avoid interference between different audios when viewing the videos corresponding to the different view zones by the dual-vision system. In addition, providing the positioning module can further determine the position of the object in different view zones, thus the orientation of the directional playing is more accurate. Further, by providing the sensing module, it may detect whether there is a person in the target areas corresponding to the different view zones. If there is a person, the positioning module is activated, thereby it at least partially effectively reduces the power consumption generated by the positioning module and effectively reduces the whole power consumption.

Based on the above embodiments, an embodiment of the present disclosure further proposes a driving method of a dual-vision display device, the driving method acts on the dual-vision display device to drive the dual-vision display device to allow video images to be viewed in different view zones while the corresponding audio signal may be directly obtained without wearing earphones. FIG. 8 is a schematic flowchart of a driving method of a dual-vision display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving method may include:

Step S501: loading the first video signal and the second video signal to the dual-vision display device.

Specifically, the first video signal and the second video signal are loaded to the dual-vision display device and the display panel of the dual-vision display device is configured to display the first video signal and the second video signal. The light exit side of the display panel is further provided with a light modulator. The light modulator includes a grating for light modulation for a picture displayed by the display panel, as shown in FIG. 3, so as to show a picture corresponding to the first video signal in the first view zone and a picture corresponding to the second video signal in the second view zone.

Step S502: playing the first audio associated with the first video signal directionally according to the first view zone and playing the second audio associated with the second video signal directionally according to the second view zone.

Specifically, the dual-vision display device firstly obtains the position of the object, and controls the first directional speaker of the dual-vision display device to perform a directional playing according to the position of the object if the position of the object is within the first view zone, and controls the second directional speaker of the dual-vision display device to perform a directional playing according to the position of the object if the position of the object is within the second view zone. If there are objects in the first view zone and the second view zone, the positions of the objects in the first view zone and the second view zone are obtained respectively, the first directional speaker is controlled to perform a directional playing according to the position of the object in the first view zone, and the second directional speaker is controlled to perform a directional playing according to the position of the object in the second view zone.

As a possible implementation manner, the dual-vision display device may firstly detect whether there is an object in a target range of the first view zone or in a target range of the second view zone, and then acquire the position of the object if an object is detected, and then drive the directional speaker to perform the directional playing according to the position of the object. Herein the implementation method is the same as the previous paragraph, therefore it will not be repeated.

In the driving method of the dual-vision display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the dual-vision display device is loaded with the first video signal and the second video signal, so as to directionally play the first audio associated with the first video signal when the picture corresponding to the first video signal is viewed in the first view zone and directionally play the second audio associated with the second video signal when the picture corresponding to the second video signal is viewed in the second view zone. Thereby, a directional playing audio may be obtained when viewing the corresponding video signals in different view zones. It at least partially solves the problem in the related art that it is necessary for the user to wear earphones to obtain the corresponding audio and avoid interference between different audios when viewing the videos corresponding to the different view zones by the dual-vision system.

FIG. 9 is a schematic flowchart of a driving method of a dual-vision display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Based on the previous embodiment, this embodiment further clearly explains the process of determining whether there is an object in different views firstly, and further determining the position of the object, and then implementing the directional playing of audio in different view zones according to the position of the object. As shown in FIG. 9, the step S502 may further include the following steps:

Step S5021: determining whether or not it has been detected that the object exists in a target area corresponding to the first view zone and a target area corresponding to the second view zone.

Specifically, the dual-vision display device is provided with a sensing module. By means of the sensing module, it can detect whether there is an object entering the target area of the first view zone or the target area of the second view zone. As a possible implementation manner, the sensing module may include an infrared sensor. The infrared sensor detects whether there are infrared rays emitted by a human body in the target area, and after detecting the infrared rays emitted by the human body, it is determined by the sensing module that the object is detected.

Step S5022: acquiring the position of the object.

After it is determined by the dual-vision display device that the object is detected, the positioning module is activated to acquire the position of the object. Specifically, the positioning module may capture the image of the first view zone and the second view zone, and determine the position of the object in the first view zone and/or the second view zone according to the position of the object in the image.

Step S5023: if the position is within the first view zone, adjusting a beam axis angle of the first directional speaker such that a beam of the first directional speaker covers the position.

Specifically, if it is determined that the position is within the first view zone, the beam axis angle of the first directional speaker is adjusted such that the beam of the first directional speaker covers the position of the object according to an adjustment range of the beam axis of the first directional speaker

Step S5024: driving the first directional speaker to play the first audio associated with the first video signal directionally.

Specifically, the beam axis angle of the first directional speaker is adjusted according to the position of the object, and then the first directional speaker is driven to play the first audio associated with the first video signal according to the beam axis angle.
