TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The application relates to the field of noise reduction of headsets. More specifically, the application relates to a noise reduction headset having multi-microphone and a noise reduction method.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The conventional headphone, especially the headset, generally has an uplink noise reduction function. The uplink noise reduction function mainly eliminates the local environmental noise as much as possible when a user makes a call by using the headset, and ensures that the voice signal is transmitted to the opposite end as clearly as possible to ensure the call quality.

Currently, the uplink noise reduction of the headset is mainly realized by a single microphone or a dual microphone cooperating with a noise reduction algorithm. Wherein, the general principle of combining the dual microphone with the noise reduction algorithm is as follows: In a dual microphone, the main microphone is located close to the target sound source, i.e., the user's mouth, and the auxiliary microphone is located farther away from the user's mouth. Since a certain distance exists between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone, but the certain distance is not too far, and since the distance between the user's mouth and the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone is far less than the distance between the noise source in the surrounding environment and the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone, the noise signals in the surrounding environment in the sound signals picked up by the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone are not different. When the user wears the headset in a normal wearing manner as shown in FIG. 1, there are an amplitude difference, a time difference, and a phase difference in voice signals in the sound signals picked up by the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone. The sound signals picked up by the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone are an input of the noise reduction algorithm, and the noise reduction algorithm is executed to analyze the waveform of the sound signals picked up by the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone. An amplitude difference, a time difference or a phase difference (usually a time difference or a phase difference) of the voice signals in the sound signals picked up by the primary and auxiliary microphones is used to remove the noise signal from the voice signal.

The noise reduction performance of the dual microphone combined with the noise reduction algorithm depends largely on the position of the main and auxiliary microphones. In particular, on the one hand, the distance between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone is relatively far, usually not less than 20 mm. On the other hand, the angle between the line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the line between the main microphone and the mouth of the user should be sufficiently small, and ideally the angle is zero, that is, the line between the auxiliary microphone, the main microphone and the target sound source forms a straight line. In summary, the distance between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone is large, and the included angle is small, so that the noise reduction performance is good.

With respect to the connection line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the connection line between the main microphone and the mouth of the user, the headset is designed so that the connection lines of the auxiliary microphone, the main microphone and the target sound source form a straight line when the user wears the headset in a normal wearing manner as shown in FIG. 1. However, due to fatigue and uncomfortable feeling caused by wearing the headset too long, the user often wears the headset in an abnormal wearing manner as shown in FIG. 2. At this time, the included angle between the line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the line between the main microphone and the mouth of the user increases, and the noise reduction performance decreases. Furthermore, in order to solve the problems regarding wearing comfort and head characteristics of different people, a rotating mechanism such as a rotating shaft is usually provided at a position where the headset body and the headband are engaged, so that the headset body can rotate and tilt within a certain angle, resulting in that the headset body can be attached to the head of the user as much as possible when being worn. The included angle between the line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the line between the main microphone and the mouth of the user can be increased, and the noise reduction performance can be reduced. In this case, the rotation of the headset body can also be considered as an abnormal wearing method. However, in such condition, the included angle between the line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the line between the main microphone and the mouth of the user may only increase to a limited extent, and the effect on the noise reduction performance is relatively small compared with the abnormal wearing method shown in FIG. 2.

Accordingly, there is a need to provide a noise reduction headset having multi-microphone and a noise reduction method for ensuring noise reduction performance, particularly in the case where a user does not normally wear the headset.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the embodiments described below are merely a portion of but not all-inclusive embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the application, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any inventive efforts are also included in the protection scope of the application.

As shown in FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a noise reduction headset having multi-microphone comprising a headband 10 and headset bodies 20 respectively connected at both ends of the headband 10, and further comprising a microprocessor and at least three microphones 30 disposed on an outer surface of the headset body, wherein the outer surface of the headset body is a surface remote from a user;

The microprocessor is configured to select the microphone 30 closest to the target sound source as the main microphone by comparing sound signals respectively picked up by the at least three microphones, select the microphone 30 farthest from the main microphone as the auxiliary microphone according to the preset relative positions of the microphones 30, use the first sound signal picked up by the main microphone and the second sound signal picked up by the auxiliary microphone as inputs of a noise reduction algorithm, and execute the noise reduction algorithm to reduce noise.

Wherein the sound signals picked up by the microphones 30 include a target sound signal emitted by the target sound source and a noise signal generated by the noise source in the surrounding environment, and the comparison of the sound signals picked up by the microphones 30 can be made in accordance with one or more of an amplitude difference, a time difference, and a phase difference of the waveforms of the sound signals. The noise reduction algorithm may employ various algorithms such as a delay-accumulation method (conventional beam method), an adaptive beam method, and a microphone array method based on post-adaptive filtering, which are not limited in the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3, the present embodiment provides a noise reduction headset having three microphones. A microprocessor, not shown, may be provided in the headset body 20 or in the headband 10. The present embodiment is not limited to a headset in which only one headset body 20 is connected to one end of the headband 10. A person skilled in the art can select the headset according to actual requirements. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that if the headset bodies 20 are connected to both ends of the headband 10 respectively, the two headset bodies 20 may be simultaneously noise-reduced or only one headset body 20 needs to be noise-reduced as required, and three microphones 30 may be arranged on the outer surfaces of the two headset bodies 20 respectively, or three microphones 30 may be arranged on the outer surfaces of only one of the two headset bodies 20.

According to the noise reduction headset having multi-microphone provided in the present embodiment, at least three microphones 30 are arranged, and the microphone 30 closest to the target sound source is selected as the main microphone, and the microphone 30 farthest from the main microphone is selected as the auxiliary microphone according to the preset relative position of each microphone 30. In comparison with the conventional dual microphone, in the case of abnormal wearing by the user, it is possible to make the included angle between the connection line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the connection line between the main microphone and the target sound source (for example, the mouth of the user) be reduced, or to arrange the auxiliary microphone approximately on the extended line of the connection line between the main microphone for picking up the target sound signal emitted by the target sound source and the target sound source (most desirably, on the connection line between the auxiliary microphone, the main microphone and the target sound source forms a straight line), so that the two sound signals picked up by the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone according to which the microprocessor performs the noise reduction algorithm are more compatible with the theoretical angle of the noise reduction algorithm, and the noise reduction performance is better. The noise reduction headset having multi-microphone provided by the present embodiment is suitable for various environments, in particular, environments where noises are high, such as bars, farmers' markets, machinery processing plants, and the like.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, at least three microphones 30 are arranged at the edge of the outer surfaces of the headset body 20, respectively. With this implementation, it can be ensured that the distance between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone is as far as possible, and two sound signals picked up by the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone according to which the microprocessor performs the noise reduction algorithm are more compatible with the theoretical angle of the noise reduction algorithm, and the noise reduction performance is better.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, as shown collectively in FIGS. 4 and 5, the noise reduction headset having multi-microphone includes at least four microphones 30 circumferentially and uniformly distributed over the edge of the outer surfaces of the headset body 20. The specific number of microphones 30 in this implementation is four. In this embodiment, when the user wears the headset in an abnormal manner, the circumferentially uniform distribution makes the included angle between the connection line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the connection line between the main microphone and the target sound source be reduced. In addition, since the outer surface of the headset body is generally substantially square or substantially circular, if three microphones 30 are arranged, the circumferentially uniform distribution of the three microphones 30 on the edges cannot realize that the included angle between the connection line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the connection line between the main microphone and the target sound source is zero when the user wears the headset in an abnormal manner. Therefore, in this embodiment, at least four microphones 30 are arranged. It will be appreciated that respective microphones 30 may also be linearly or L-shaped arranged on the edge of the outer surface of the headset body 20.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, the microprocessor fuses and compares the sound signals picked up by the microphones other than the main and auxiliary microphones with the second sound signal picked up by the auxiliary microphone according to the preset relative positions of the microphones 30, so as to obtain the virtually picked-up fused sound signal from the position of the edge of the outer surface of the headset body 20 remote from the main microphone in the extension line of the line between the main microphone and the target sound source, and use the first sound signal and the fused sound signal as inputs of the noise reduction algorithm. According to this implementation, the angle between the line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the line between the main microphone and the target sound source cannot be approximately zero when the user wears the headset abnormally, thus, the sound signals picked up by the other microphones and the second sound signal picked up by the auxiliary microphone are fused and compared according to the fixed preset relative positions of the microphones 30, so as to obtain the virtually picked-up fused sound signal from the position of the edge of the outer surface of the headset body 20 remote from the main microphone in the extension line of the line between the main microphone and the target sound source, and the noise reduction algorithm is executed by using the first sound signal and the fused sound signal as inputs of the noise reduction algorithm, thereby improving the noise reduction performance. Specifically, an amplitude difference, a time difference or a phase difference of a target sound signal emitted from a target sound source in a sound signal picked up by respective microphone 30 may be compared and fused, the fused amplitude difference, the fused time difference or the fused phase difference (usually using the time difference or the phase difference) in combination with a preset relative position of respective microphone 30 (a constant relative distance between the adjacent microphones 30 and a constant included angle between the lines between one microphone and adjacent microphones caused by a constant preset relative position) is analyzed to obtain information such as an estimated sound signal waveform of respective position on the outer surface of the headset body 20 in an extension line of a connection line between the main microphone and the target sound source, so as to estimate a virtually picked-up fused sound signal from the position of the edge of the outer surface of the headset body 20 remote from the main microphone in the extension line of the line between the main microphone and the target sound source, also namely, an estimated sound signal of the position. The fused sound signal and the first sound signal are used as inputs to perform a noise reduction algorithm, and noise reduction performance is improved. It should be noted that this implementation is more suitable for improving the noise reduction performance in the condition that the angle between the line between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone and the line between the main microphone and the user's mouth is increased by a limited amplitude when rotating the headset body 20.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, at least one other microphone is arranged in the vicinity of the auxiliary microphone. With this implementation, the estimated virtually picked-up fused sound signal is more accurate.

Another embodiment of the present application provides a multi-microphone noise reduction method comprising:

arranging at least three microphones on the outer surface of the headset body;

selecting the microphone closest to a target sound source as a main microphone according to a comparison of sound signals picked up by respective microphones, selecting the microphone farthest from the main microphone as an auxiliary microphone according to a preset relative position of respective microphones, and executing a noise reduction algorithm by using a first sound signal picked up by the main microphone and a second sound signal picked up by the auxiliary microphone as inputs of the noise reduction algorithm so as to realize noise reduction.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, arranging at least three microphones on the outer surface of the headset body further comprises arranging at least three microphones on the edge of the outer surface of the headset body.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, arranging at least three microphones at the edge of the outer surface of the headset body further comprises uniformly distributing at least four microphones at the edge of the outer surface of the headset body circumferentially.
