Embodiment Construction

[0025] The volume control device and method in the preferred embodiments of the present invention can be applied in electronic devices such as television sets and set-top boxes.

[0026] see figure 1 , the volume control device 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an audio amplifier 11 , a sound collector 12 , a weighter 13 , a comparator 14 , an analog-to-digital converter 15 , a memory 16 and a central processing unit 17 .

[0027] The audio amplifier 11 is used to amplify the power of the audio signal input to it. By adjusting the gain of the audio amplifier 11, the amplification factor of the audio signal power can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the volume of the audio signal accordingly. For example, when the electronic device is a TV, by controlling the gain of the audio amplifier 11, the volume of the sound output by the TV can be adjusted.

[0028] The sound collector 12 is used to detect various sound sources and the intensity of various s...

Abstract

A volume control device comprises an audio frequency amplifier, a sound collector, a weighter, a comparator, a storer and a central processor, wherein the audio frequency amplifier is used for outputting an amplified audio signal; the sound collector is used for detecting various sound sources in environment except for the audio signal and the intensities of the various sound sources; the weighter is used for acquiring a total noise intensity after superposition of the various sound sources; the comparator compares the difference between the obtained total noise intensity and the audio signal intensity; the storer is used for storing a gain table; the central processor is used for acquiring the gain adjustment amount of the audio frequency amplifier according to the difference and the gain table, and correspondingly increasing or decreasing the gain of the audio frequency amplifier according to the gain adjustment amount so as to correspondingly adjust the volume of the audio signal. The invention further relates to a volume control method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a volume control device and method, in particular to a volume control device and method for automatically controlling the gain of an audio amplifier according to ambient noise. Background technique [0002] In current electronic devices such as television sets, set-top boxes, and computers that have speakers, the volume of the speakers is generally manually controlled by the user according to the needs of the user. When the user needs to adjust the output volume of the loudspeaker due to his own needs or changes in environmental noise, he has to re-operate the supporting remote control or the volume adjustment button of the above-mentioned electronic device to adjust the volume, which causes inconvenience to the user. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to provide a volume control device that can automatically adjust the volume of the speaker according to the change of the ambient...
