The electronic system 10 further includes a remote device 20, which is signally connected to the audio processor 110. The remote device 20 is, for example, a mobile phone or a tablet, but the type of the remote device 20 is not limited thereto. The audio processor 110 of the electronic device 100 may receive a sound signal from the remote device 20 and transmit the sound signal to the first speaker 150 in the electronic device 100 for playing.
When the first speaker 150 plays sound, microphone 120 will not only receive the sound entering from the sound hole 130 (as a thick dotted line S1 in
The electronic system 10 of the embodiment may effectively reduce the impact of the sound reception effect caused by non-linear transmitted sound energy through a dynamic correction method 200 for sound reception (
Specifically, as in step 212, when the sound reception hole 130 remains unobstructed, the microphone 120 receives the sound emitted by the first speaker 150 and obtains the first frequency response curve C1; when the sound reception hole 130 is closed (for example, the sound reception hole 130 is blocked), the microphone 120 receives the sound emitted by the first speaker 150 and obtains the second frequency response curve C2.
The second frequency response curve C2 is the curve of the microphone 120 receiving sound when the sound reception hole 130 is closed. That is to say, the second frequency response curve C2 is that the microphone 120 receives the non-linear transmitted sound energy transmitted by the interior of the electronic device 100 when the sound reception hole 130 is closed (the thin dotted line S2 in
As can be seen from
On the other hand, in the frequency range from 500 Hz to 3 KHz (low frequency), the second frequency response curve C2 is located above the first frequency response curve C1, which means that in the frequency range, the non-linear transmitted sound energy transmitted by the interior of the electronic device 100 received by the microphone 120 is relatively large, so the microphone 120 is relatively much more interfered by the non-linear transmitted sound energy, thereby affecting the sound reception effect.
Since the lines of the first frequency response curve C1 and the second frequency response curve C2 in
In the frequency range from 500 Hz to 3 KHz (low frequency), the second frequency response curve C2 is located above the first frequency response curve C1. In the frequency range, the decibel value of the response of the first frequency response curve C1 is taken as 85 dB as an example, and the decibel value of the response of the second frequency response curve C2 is taken as 110 dB as an example. It can be seen from
After the audio processor 110 obtains the first frequency response curve C1 and the second frequency response curve C2,
It can be seen from
Next, step 220 of
Therefore, the audio processor 110 reduces the decibel value of the second frequency response curve C2 in the frequency range of 500 Hz to 3 KHz (low frequency), so that the decibel value of the adjusted second frequency response curve C2′ in the frequency range is less than or equal to the decibel value of the first frequency response curve C1 in the frequency range. In the embodiment illustrated in
After experiments, the decibel value of the adjusted second frequency response curve C2′ in the at least one frequency range is 0 to 15 decibels smaller than the decibel value of the first frequency response curve C1 in the corresponding at least one frequency range, which may effectively reduce the degree of interference of the microphone 120 by the non-linear transmitted sound energy in the at least on frequency range, so that the microphone 120 has a good sound reception effect without distortion.
As can be seen from
It can be clearly seen from
In addition, as shown in
Of course, the adjusted second frequency response curve C2′ is not limited thereto.
In an embodiment, if at least one frequency range of the second frequency response curve C2 located below the first frequency response curve C1 is multiple frequency ranges. The audio processor 110 may respectively reduce the decibel values of the second frequency response curve C2 in the frequency ranges according to multiple difference values between the first frequency response curve C1 and the second frequency response curve C2 in the frequency ranges to obtain the adjusted second frequency response curve C2′.
For example,
Of course, in an embodiment, the audio processor 110 reduces the decibel values of the second frequency response curve C2 in the frequency ranges according to a maximum difference value among multiple difference values between the first frequency response curve C1 and the second frequency response curve C2 in the frequency ranges to obtain the adjusted second frequency response curve C2′.
For example,
Of course, although in
Refer to
In addition, in other embodiments, the electronic system 10 further includes a second speaker 30. In the embodiment, the second speaker 30 is located outside the electronic device 100 and is an external speaker or an external sound source. Of course, in other embodiments, the electronic system 10 may also have one of the first speaker 150 and the second speaker 30 located in the electronic device 100, and the other may be located outside the electronic device 100. The positions of the first speaker 150 and the second speaker 30 are not limited to
Similarly, although the second speaker 30 is located outside the electronic device 100, the microphone 120 will not only receive the sound entering from the sound hole 130, but also receive the sound energy (non-linear transmitted sound energy played by the second speaker 30) transmitted by the vibration of the housing and internal mechanical components of the electronic device 100.
Therefore, the audio processor 110 may also dynamically correct the sound emitted by the second speaker 30 in the same or similar manner, so that the microphone 120 can achieve good sound reception quality.
As shown in
Specifically, as shown in step 232, when the sound reception hole 130 remains unobstructed, the microphone 120 receives the sound emitted by the second speaker 30 and obtains the third frequency response curve C3; when the sound reception hole 130 is closed, the microphone 120 receives the sound emitted by the second speaker 30 and obtains the fourth frequency response curve C4.
Next, in step 240, the audio processor 110 obtains an adjusted fourth frequency response curve by executing the second dynamic correction sound reception program. Furthermore, the execution content of step 240 is similar to the execution content of step 220. The difference between step 240 and step 220 is that step 240 executes a dynamic correction sound reception program according to the third frequency response curve C3 and the fourth frequency response curve C4.
In other embodiments, if the fourth frequency response curve C4 is located above the third frequency response curve C3 in part of the frequency range, the audio processor 110 may execute the second dynamic correction sound reception program. It should be noted that the execution mode of the second dynamic correction sound reception program is similar to the execution mode of the first dynamic correction sound reception program. For detailed methods, refer to
The second dynamic correction sound reception program includes: in at least one frequency range in which the decibel value is a negative number in the second airtight value curve, the audio processor 110 reduces the decibel value of the fourth frequency response curve C4 in the at least one frequency range and obtains the adjusted fourth frequency response curve; the decibel value of the adjusted fourth frequency response curve is less than or equal to the decibel value of the third frequency response curve C3 in the corresponding at least one frequency range.
In an embodiment, in the second dynamic correction sound reception program, the decibel value of the adjusted fourth frequency response curve in the at least one frequency range is 0 to 15 decibels smaller than the decibel value of the third frequency response curve C3 in the corresponding at least one frequency range, which enables the microphone 120 to have a good sound reception effect.
In addition, in an embodiment, if at least one frequency range that needs to be adjusted in the fourth frequency response curve C4 is multiple frequency ranges, the audio processor 110 respectively reduces the decibel values of the fourth frequency response curve C4 in the frequency ranges according to multiple difference values between the third frequency response curve C3 and the fourth frequency response curve C4 in the frequency ranges to obtain the adjusted fourth frequency response curve.
In another embodiment, the audio processor 110 may also reduce the decibel values of the fourth frequency response curve C4 according to a maximum difference value among multiple difference values between the third frequency response curve C3 and the fourth frequency response curve C4 in the frequency ranges to obtain the adjusted fourth frequency response curve. The above-mentioned storage 140 may also be configured to store the third frequency response curve C3, the fourth frequency response curve C4, the second airtight numerical curve and the adjusted fourth frequency response curve for dynamic correction by the audio processor 110.
It is worth mentioning that if the microphone 120 receives the sound from the first speaker 150 and the sound from the second speaker 30 at the same time, the audio processor 110 may first suppress the sound of one of the speakers (for example, the first speaker 150), and then dynamically correct the sound of the other speaker (for example, the second speaker 30). The audio processor 110 may subsequently suppress the sound of the other speaker (for example, the second speaker 30) and dynamically correct the sound of the originally unprocessed speaker (for example, the first speaker 150).
The electronic system 10 of the embodiment may adopt the dynamic correction method 200 for sound reception. In the production line, each of the electronic devices 100 may actually measure the first frequency response curve C1 and the second frequency response curve C2 of the microphone 120, and the first airtight numerical curve D1 and the adjusted second frequency response curve C2′ may be calculated by the audio processor 110 and stored in the storage 140. Next, the audio processor 110 reads the numerical values from the storage 140, calculates and performs dynamic correction to eliminate or reduce the influence of the non-linear transmitted sound energy in the interior of the electronic device 100 transmitted to the microphone 120, thereby achieving the effect of reducing echo and optimizing the Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) of a product.
Since each of the electronic devices 100 in the production line may ensure the AEC effect through the dynamic correction method 200 for sound reception, even if the production distribution variation causes the non-linear transmitted sound energy of one of the electronic devices 100 to be high, or even greater than normal sound reception, the electronic device 100 may also be dynamically corrected according to the first airtight numerical curve D1 measured by itself. Therefore, each of the electronic devices 100 may have good sound reception performance.
In addition, in the embodiment, since the electronic device 100 itself does not need to add a speaker shock-absorbing structure, and the membrane layer of the microphone 120 also does not need to be made of waterproof and highly transparent materials to reduce non-linear transmitted sound energy, the structure may be effectively simplified and the effect of cost saving may be achieved.
To sum up, in the electronic system and the dynamic correction method for sound reception of the disclosure, the audio processor obtains the first airtight numerical curve according to the numerical difference value between the first frequency response curve and the second frequency response curve to execute the first dynamic correction sound reception program, and the audio processor obtains the adjusted second frequency response curve by executing the first dynamic correction sound reception program. If the second frequency response curve is a curve that can reflect the non-linear transmitted sound energy, since the adjusted second frequency response curve has a relatively low impact on the first frequency response curve, the impact of non-linear transmitted sound energy on the sound reception effect caused by the non-linear transmitted sound energy may be effectively reduced without requiring additional material costs.
