After collecting a voice signal, the mobile microphone may transmit the collected voice signal to the receiver in a wireless communication manner. The receiver may process the voice signal and then transmit the voice signal to the multimedia host.
In an embodiment, the mobile microphone 10 may be connected to the receiver 20 through wireless communication. The wireless communication connection may include any one of a Bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, an ultra-high frequency (UHF) connection, and a very high frequency (VHF) connection.
In an embodiment, the mobile microphone 10 may be connected to the receiver 20 through wired communication. The wired communication connection may include a cable connection. Specifically, the cable connection may include a connection through a microphone cable. The microphone cable may be a coaxial cable.
For the mobile microphone 10 that uses the VHF connection or the UHF connection, a frequency of the mobile microphone 10 may be adjusted to a frequency range that can be received by the receiver 20, so that the mobile microphone 10 and the receiver 20 are communicatively connected and may be directly used. For the mobile microphone 10 that uses the Wi-Fi connection or the Bluetooth connection, a power supply of the mobile microphone 10 may be turned on, and the mobile microphone 10 may perform Wi-Fi pairing or Bluetooth pairing with the receiver 20, to implement the communication connection.
In a case that the mobile microphone 10 and the receiver 20 are connected through wireless communication, the receiver 20 may be a universal serial bus (USB) receiver, and the receiver 20 may be inserted into a USB interface on the multimedia host 30. The receiver 20 may also be fixed on the multimedia host 30 as a module that is of the multimedia host 30 and that has a wireless communication function. Specifically, the USB receiver may be a USB dongle receiver.
In a case that the mobile microphone 10 and the receiver 20 are connected through wired communication, the receiver 20 may be an audio input hole fixed on the multimedia host 30. One end of a cable may be inserted into the audio input hole, and another end of the cable may be inserted into an audio output hole on the mobile microphone 10.
The mobile microphone 10 may convert a sound signal transmitted by the user into a voice signal, where the voice signal is an electrical signal. The mobile microphone may be integrated with a positioning module to implement a positioning function. For example, whether the mobile microphone is in inside or outside a vehicle may be determined.
The multimedia host 30 may be embedded with a software development kit (SDK) and define a corresponding all-scenario policy. The SDK may include computer program code, and the multimedia host 30 runs the computer program code and may implement some or all steps in a vehicle-mounted audio playing method below.
The multimedia host 30 may run a multimedia system, and a third-party karaoke APP may be run on the multimedia system. The multimedia system may further have a karaoke applet. When the user opens the third-party karaoke APP, the karaoke applet may automatically pop up, so that the user may sing karaoke in the vehicle. The karaoke applet is equivalent to a sound mixing console, and the user may adjust a system volume and a sound effect of the multimedia system through an in-vehicle display (for example, a PAD). The karaoke applet is an applet of the multimedia system, and may be implanted by a developer of the multimedia system.
The multimedia host 30 may obtain, through the receiver 20, a voice signal collected by the mobile microphone 10, and may process the voice signal. The processed signal may be amplified through the power amplifier 40 and then outputted to the out-of-vehicle speaker 60, to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker 60 to produce sound.
The power amplifier 40 is briefly referred to as a PA and is a basic device in a stereo system. The power amplifier is responsible for amplifying a weak signal from a signal source (the voice signal collected by the mobile microphone 10) or previous processing, to drive a speaker to produce sound.
The multimedia host 30 may be connected to an A2B module of the power amplifier 40 through a A2B bus in a signal connection manner.
The out-of-vehicle speaker 60 is a speaker mounted outside the vehicle and is generally used for alerting. The out-of-vehicle speaker 60 in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be used for alerting, and may be further used in multiple scenarios such as karaoke, giving a lecture, hosting, and the like.
Specifically, the out-of-vehicle speaker 60 may be a speaker in an out-of-vehicle acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). The out-of-vehicle AVAS is generally used for alerting. For example, when someone hits, bumps, or moves a vehicle, a sensor sends a signal to a controller to indicate intensity of shock. The controller may make a warning sound or alarm according to the intensity of shock, to frighten a thief, and prompt and notify an owner.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the speaker in the out-of-vehicle AVAS may be used as a stereo, so that out-of-vehicle karaoke may be implemented based on the out-of-vehicle AVAS, thereby resolving a problem of low sound and poor user experience during out-of-vehicle karaoke.
Generally, a speaker of an existing out-of-vehicle AVAS has a maximum power of about 5 W and a rated power of 4 W, and there is a gap with a professional stereo in terms of karaoke experience. To bridge the power gap, a maximum power of the out-of-vehicle speaker (the speaker in the out-of-vehicle AVAS) in this embodiment of the present disclosure may be set to greater than 10 W. Frequency response is used in electronics to describe a difference in capabilities of an instrument to process signals of different frequencies. Frequency response refers to a change curve of a gain with a frequency. Any stereo equipment or carrier (an object that records a sound signal) has a frequency response curve. An ideal frequency response curve should be straight, and there may be no distortion after the sound signal passes through. However, a current frequency response curve of the out-of-vehicle AVAS cannot meet user's multi-scenario requirements. Therefore, in the present disclosure, an out-of-vehicle AVAS with a high power (for example, an out-of-vehicle AVAS with a power greater than 10 W) may be used, and frequency response and other parameters of the out-of-vehicle AVAS are debugged and optimized to make a frequency response curve meet karaoke requirements. For example, after the frequency response of the out-of-vehicle AVAS is debugged and optimized, the frequency response changes relatively slightly with the frequency, and fluctuation is less than a fluctuation threshold, that is, there may be no sudden rise or drop. In this way, in addition to producing a low-speed alarm sound (where the vehicle may produce certain decibel electronic sound when driving at a low speed to warn a passing vehicle and a pedestrian to be careful), the out-of-vehicle AVAS in the present disclosure may also use the speaker to implement functions such as singing karaoke, playing music, and the like. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, functions of the speaker of the out-of-vehicle AVAS may be fully used, to improve an effect and user's experience of out-of-vehicle karaoke, and meet user's multi-scenario requirements.

Step 201: A multimedia host obtains, through a receiver, a first voice signal collected by a mobile microphone.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after the receiver is successfully paired with the mobile microphone, the receiver may receive a voice signal from the mobile microphone, and the multimedia host obtains the voice signal from the receiver.
If the receiver is a general USB receiver, before step 201 is performed, the receiver may be inserted into a USB interface on the multimedia host, and the mobile microphone is turned on, to enable the receiver to pair with the mobile microphone. In this case, the user may make detection voice to detect whether the mobile microphone can transmit the collected voice signal to the multimedia host.
Step 202: When a vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus is in an out-of-vehicle karaoke mode, the multimedia host fuses the first voice signal and an accompaniment signal, and output a fused signal to an out-of-vehicle speaker after performing amplification through a power amplifier, to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker to produce sound.
In an embodiment, the method shown in
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the accompaniment signal is a signal corresponding to instrumental music accompanying singing or a signal corresponding to background music, which may be obtained by loading through, for example, a third-party karaoke APP. The karaoke mode is a mode in which the user sings through a Karaoke TV. In the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode, the user may sing karaoke inside or outside the vehicle, and the out-of-vehicle speaker produces sound, which can improve an effect and user's experience of out-of-vehicle karaoke, and meet user's multi-scenario requirements.
Specifically, the user may open the third-party karaoke APP. In this case, the third-party karaoke APP may call a karaoke applet of the multimedia system, and the karaoke applet automatically pops up. The user sets a karaoke mode as an “out-of-vehicle karaoke mode” on a display interface of the PAD, and selects a favorite song through the third-party karaoke APP to play, and sings karaoke with the favorite song.
For a specific song, if the third-party karaoke APP supports singing of the song, the karaoke applet may set a sound effect mode and adjust reverberation strength, and sound effect adjustment and audio mixing adjustment are performed on a user's voice signal collected by the mobile microphone and accompaniment of the song, thereby achieving a better karaoke effect. If the third-party karaoke APP does not support singing of the song, the third-party karaoke APP may also play the song, but the karaoke applet cannot set the sound effect and adjust reverberation. The karaoke user may still hum through the mobile microphone, but the karaoke effect is slightly poor than that of audio mixing. However, the out-of-vehicle speaker may also simultaneously produce vocal and accompaniment sound.
The multimedia system may set a whitelist for karaoke software. When recognizing that the karaoke software in the whitelist is opened, the multimedia system may call the karaoke applet and singing karaoke normally.
In the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode, the user may hold the mobile microphone to sing karaoke in the vehicle, or may hold the mobile microphone to sing karaoke outside the vehicle. In the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode, when the user holds the mobile microphone to sing karaoke in the vehicle, the multimedia host fuses the first voice signal and the accompaniment signal. A fused signal drives, through the power amplifier, the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound. In this case, the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker may synchronously produce sound. In the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode, when the user holds the mobile microphone to sing karaoke outside the vehicle, the multimedia host fuses the first voice signal and the accompaniment signal, and outputs a fused signal to the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker after performing processing through the power amplifier to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound, or outputs a fused signal to the out-of-vehicle speaker after performing amplification through the power amplifier to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker to produce sound.
In the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode, the out-of-vehicle speaker is definitely used, and the user may also determine, according to preferences, whether to turn on the in-vehicle speaker. For example, if the user wants sound of karaoke to be as loud as possible, both the in-vehicle speaker and the out-of-vehicle speaker may be on (for example, when the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode is selected, the user may continue to select whether to turn on both the in-vehicle speaker and the out-of-vehicle speaker, where if yes, both the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker are turned on; and if no, only the out-of-vehicle speaker is turned on). For example, when the user does not want sound of karaoke to be too loud, the user may choose to turn on only the out-of-vehicle speaker. In the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode, karaoke requirements of different users may be met, thereby meeting user's multi-scenario requirements.
Optionally, in step 202, the multimedia host fuses the first voice signal and the accompaniment signal, which may specifically include the following steps:
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, audio mixing processing may adjust two or more audio signals individually according to a frequency, dynamics, sound quality, positioning, reverberation, and a sound field to optimize each audio signal, and then the signals are superposed. The mixing processing manner may achieve a distinct effect, thereby improving the karaoke effect. Tuning processing may be equalizer (EQ) tuning.
Specifically, EQ tuning may adjust sound effect EQ in the in-vehicle karaoke system at different positions. EQ tuning for karaoke users sitting in a main driver seat, a co-pilot seat, and a rear seat are different. For example, if the karaoke user sits in the main driver seat and sings karaoke in the main driver seat, the effect may be very good. However, if the karaoke user sits in the co-pilot seat or in the rear seat, the effect may be worse. In this case, tuning processing may be performed, so that a tuned sound effects not only provide better experience for a main driver, but also provide a better sound effect for a co-driver and a rear-seat user when singing karaoke. Tuning generally requires two, three or more rounds of tuning to achieve a relatively good effect. Tuning processing may be performed according to EQ parameters finally adjusted through EQ tuning.
When a requirement for the sound effect is not high, tuning is not required; or when a requirement for the sound effect is high, tuning is required. The multimedia host performs tuning processing on the first voice signal by using pre-adjusted voice tuning parameters, and performs tuning processing on the accompaniment signal by using pre-adjusted accompaniment tuning parameters. For example, a ratio between a microphone volume and accompaniment music is adjusted, and tone of the accompaniment music is adjusted. The voice tuning parameters and the accompaniment tuning parameters may be preset. In this way, tuning processing may be directly performed according to preset parameters, to avoid a relatively high delay caused by directly adding a sound effect, and improve a delay due to tuning during karaoke, thereby improving a user's karaoke effect and experience.

Optionally, the vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus may further include a display screen (referring to
For specific implementations of step 301 and step 302, refer to step 201 and step 202 shown in
Step 303: When the vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus is in an out-of-vehicle lecture mode, the multimedia host outputs the first voice signal to the out-of-vehicle speaker after performing amplification processing through the power amplifier, to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker to produce sound; or the multimedia host outputs the first voice signal to the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker after performing amplification processing through the power amplifier, to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the lecture mode is a mode that requires the use of a speaker to produce sound but does not require accompaniment. The user sets a microphone mode to an “out-of-vehicle lecture mode” on a display interface. In the out-of-vehicle lecture mode, the user does not need to open a third-party karaoke APP on a multimedia system, and a karaoke applet may not pop up. The multimedia host outputs the first voice signal to the out-of-vehicle speaker after performing amplification processing through the power amplifier, to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker to produce sound, or outputs the first voice signal to the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker after performing amplification processing through the power amplifier, to drive the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the mobile microphone can also be used without opening the third-party karaoke APP, which is not limited to an indoor karaoke scenario in which the third-party karaoke APP is opened, and the mobile microphone may be used in more scenarios, to meet the user's multi-scenario use requirements.
In the out-of-vehicle lecture mode, the out-of-vehicle speaker is definitely used, and the user may also determine, according to preferences, whether to turn on the in-vehicle speaker. For example, if the user wants sound of an out-of-vehicle lecture to be as loud as possible, both the in-vehicle speaker and the out-of-vehicle speaker may be turned on (for example, when the out-of-vehicle lecture mode is selected, the user may continue to select whether to turn on both the in-vehicle speaker and the out-of-vehicle speaker, where if yes, both the out-of-vehicle speaker and the in-vehicle speaker are turned on; and if no, only the out-of-vehicle speaker is turned on). For example, when the user does not want sound of an out-of-vehicle lecture to be too loud, the user may choose to turn on only the out-of-vehicle speaker.
In the out-of-vehicle lecture mode, the user may collect voice through the mobile microphone and produce sound through the out-of-vehicle speaker, to meet user's requirements in scenarios such as giving a lecture, hosting, and voice sales outside the vehicle, thereby meeting the user's multi-scenario use requirements.
Step 304: When the vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus is in an in-vehicle karaoke mode, the multimedia host fuses the first voice signal and the accompaniment signal, and outputs a fused signal to the in-vehicle speaker after performing amplification processing through the power amplifier, to drive the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the in-vehicle karaoke mode is one of karaoke modes that can be selected. In the in-vehicle karaoke mode, the user may sing karaoke in the vehicle, and the in-vehicle speaker produces sound, which can improve user's experience of in-vehicle karaoke, and meet user's multi-scenario requirements.
Specifically, the user may open the third-party karaoke APP. In this case, the third-party karaoke APP may call the karaoke applet of the multimedia system, and the karaoke applet automatically pops up. The user sets a karaoke mode to an “in-vehicle karaoke mode” on a display interface, and selects a favorite song through the third-party karaoke APP to play, thereby implementing in-vehicle karaoke singing.
For a specific song, if the third-party karaoke APP supports singing of the song, the karaoke applet may set a sound effect mode and adjust reverberation strength according to user's sound preferences, and sound effect adjustment and audio mixing adjustment are performed on a user's voice signal collected by the mobile microphone and accompaniment of the song, thereby achieving a better karaoke effect. If the third-party karaoke APP does not support singing of the song, the third-party karaoke APP may also play the song, but the karaoke applet cannot set the sound effect and adjust reverberation. The karaoke user may still hum through the mobile microphone, but the karaoke effect is slightly poor than that of audio mixing. However, the in-vehicle speaker may also simultaneously produce vocal and accompaniment sound.
The multimedia system may set a whitelist for karaoke software. When recognizing that the karaoke software in the whitelist is opened, the multimedia system may call the karaoke applet and singing karaoke normally.
In the in-vehicle karaoke mode, the user may hold the mobile microphone to sing karaoke in the vehicle. When the user holds the mobile microphone to sing karaoke in the vehicle, the multimedia host fuses the first voice signal and the accompaniment signal. A fused signal drives, through the power amplifier, the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound.
Optionally, in step 304, the multimedia host fuses the first voice signal and the accompaniment signal, which may specifically include the following steps:
For specific implementations of step (21) and step (22), refer to step (11) and step (12). Details are not described herein again.
Step 305: When the vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus is in an in-vehicle lecture mode, the multimedia host outputs the first voice signal to the in-vehicle speaker after performing amplification processing through the power amplifier, to drive the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the user sets a microphone mode to an “in-vehicle lecture mode” on a display interface. In the in-vehicle lecture mode, the user does not need to open a third-party karaoke APP on a multimedia system, and a karaoke applet may not pop up. The multimedia host outputs the first voice signal to the in-vehicle speaker after performing amplification processing through the power amplifier, to drive the in-vehicle speaker to produce sound.
In the in-vehicle lecture mode, the user may produce sound through the in-vehicle speaker, to meet user's requirements in scenarios such as giving a lecture, hosting, and voice sales in the vehicle, thereby meeting the user's multi-scenario use requirements.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, according to user's own requirements, the user may set any one of an “out-of-vehicle karaoke mode”, an “in-vehicle karaoke mode”, an “out-of-vehicle lecture mode”, and an “in-vehicle lecture mode” on the display interface, to meet the user's multi-scenario use requirements.

The multimedia host 30 is configured to set the voice microphone 80 as a prime focus when the vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus is in an intelligent voice mode or a Bluetooth phone mode. When the voice microphone 80 is set as the prime focus, voice collected by the voice microphone 80 is allowed to produce sound through a speaker, and voice collected by the mobile microphone 10 is prohibited from producing sound through a speaker.
The multimedia host 30 is configured to set the mobile microphone 10 as a prime focus in the out-of-vehicle karaoke mode. When the mobile microphone 10 is set as the prime focus, voice collected by the mobile microphone 10 is allowed to produce sound through the speaker, and voice collected by the voice microphone 80 is prohibited from producing sound through the speaker.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the intelligent voice mode is a mode activated in response to a voice command containing specific voice. In the intelligent voice mode, the user may intelligently interact with the system by issuing the voice command containing specific voice. The Bluetooth phone mode is a mode in which a terminal such as a mobile phone make calls through Bluetooth. The prime focus may be understood as a main point of concern. When the voice microphone 80 is the prime focus, the multimedia system may allow voice collected by the voice microphone 80 to produce sound through a speaker (at least one of the in-vehicle speaker and the out-of-vehicle speaker), and prohibit voice collected by the mobile microphone 10 from producing sound through a speaker. When the mobile microphone 10 is the prime focus, the multimedia system may allow voice collected by the mobile microphone 10 to produce sound through a speaker (at least one of the in-vehicle speaker and the out-of-vehicle speaker), and prohibit voice collected by the voice microphone 80 from producing sound through a speaker. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the voice microphone 80 or the mobile microphone 10 may be set as the prime focus according to different modes, to prevent the voice microphone 80 and the mobile microphone from simultaneously producing sound, thereby preventing the voice microphone 80 and the mobile microphone 10 from interfering with each other.
The vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus 100 may include at least one voice microphone 80. When the vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus 100 includes two voice microphones, one voice microphone may be configured to collect a first signal (including user's voice and surrounding environment sound), and another voice microphone is configured to collect a second signal (that is, surrounding environment sound), to further obtain a noise-reduced user voice signal in combination with the first signal and the second signal, thereby achieving noise reduction based on dual microphones and improving a voice noise reduction effect. The vehicle-mounted audio playing apparatus 100 may also include at least one mobile microphone 10. When at least two mobile microphones 10 are included, multiple people can simultaneously sing karaoke.
Generally, the voice microphone 80 and the mobile microphone 10 cannot simultaneously drive a speaker to produce sound. In some cases, the voice microphone 80 and the mobile microphone 10 may simultaneously collect voice, and the multimedia system may determine, according to voice collected by the voice microphone 80, whether to enter the intelligent voice mode or the Bluetooth phone mode.
The intelligent voice mode or the Bluetooth phone mode may be set in the multimedia system, or may be automatically triggered to enter. For example, when it is recognized that voice collected by the voice microphone 80 contains a specific voice command, the intelligent voice mode is automatically entered, and the voice microphone 80 is set as the prime focus. The specific voice command may be pre-set, for example, the command may be set to include “Name A”, “Name B”, “Name C”, and the like. When the user issues the specific voice command, the intelligent voice mode is automatically entered. The voice microphone 80 collects user's voice for intelligent voice interaction with the multimedia host 30 (for example, Name A, turn on an air conditioner; in another example, Name A, navigate to XX Building, etc.).
In another example, when the mobile phone is connected to the multimedia host 30 through Bluetooth, if the mobile phone receives a call, the multimedia host 30 automatically enters the Bluetooth phone mode, and the multimedia host 30 sets the voice microphone 80 as the prime focus. In this case, call information may be displayed on a display screen corresponding to the multimedia host 30, the user taps the display screen to answer the call, that is, a Bluetooth call is performed through the multimedia host 30, user's voice is collected by the voice microphone 80, and caller's voice is emitted through the in-vehicle speaker.
The voice microphone 80 may be connected to the multimedia host 30 through a microphone interface.
