Whether commuting to get off work or traveling, people spend more and more time in their cars. Therefore, there is a need for an automatic control system for the in-cabin sound field environment that can be adapted to different users.

[0003] Currently, there are no vehicle models that can achieve automatic control and calibration of the sound field position. For example, when users with different heights, weights and driving habits drive the vehicle, the music played is almost always played according to the main driver's surround sound field position set by the tuner. This single sound field calibration method cannot adjust the center position of the sound field, resulting in a poor user experience and can no longer meet user needs.

[0064] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

It may also include software components, such as program code, or a combination of software and hardware.

The term "A and / or B" refers to all possible combinations of A and B, such as only A, only B, or both A and B. The terms "at least one of A or B" or "at least one of A and B" have similar meanings to "A and / or B" and may include only A, only B, or both A and B.

[0066] Currently, the traditional single sound field calibration method cannot adjust the center position of the sound field, resulting in a poor user experience and no longer meeting user needs. To this end, this application provides a method, system and device for automatically controlling the main driving sound field, which achieves the purpose of providing the sound field center position for users of different heights, weights and driving habits, thereby providing different users with the best music experience.

[0067] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for automatically controlling the main driver's sound field according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the main driving sound field automatic control method in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S101 to S103.

[0068] Step S101: Acquire seat position information and information about the relative position of the driver's head relative to the seat. Specifically, after entering a vehicle, the driver habitually adjusts the driver's seat to suit their driving habits, primarily by adjusting the fore / aft position, height, and backrest angle. Therefore, the seat position information may include at least one of seat horizontal position information, seat height information, and seat backrest angle information. The relative position information of the driver's head relative to the seat may be the relative position of the driver's head relative to the seat headrest.

[0069] Step S102: Determine the first relative coordinates of the driver's head based on the seat position information and the relative position of the driver's head relative to the seat. In this step, the absolute coordinates of the current seat headrest are first calculated based on the seat position information and seat dimensions. Next, a fuzzy algorithm is used to determine the first relative coordinates of the driver's head based on the absolute coordinates of the current seat headrest and the relative position of the driver's head relative to the seat headrest. This novel method of determining the relative coordinates of the driver's head using the absolute coordinates of the current seat headrest and the relative position of the driver's head relative to the seat headrest provides a foundation for later determining the current center of the sound field.

[0070] Step S103: Obtain the current sound field center position based on the relative coordinates of the first driver's head. After obtaining the current sound field center position, the present application can control the main driving sound field based on the current sound field center position. For example, the vehicle navigation multimedia terminal can adjust the delay ratio information of each audio channel according to the current sound field center position, and send the delay ratio information to the audio DSP unit through the USART or I2C protocol. The audio DSP unit adjusts the delay ratio of each audio channel according to the delay ratio information, and sends the corresponding delayed analog audio signal to each audio channel after DAC conversion. The power amplifier receives the corresponding delayed analog audio signal sent by the audio DSP unit to each audio channel, and amplifies the delayed analog audio signal through the power amplifier and outputs it to the speaker for sound. In actual applications, the technical means commonly used in the prior art can also be used to control the main driving sound field based on the sound field center position, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] The specific process of obtaining the current sound field center position in this step can be implemented through the following steps S1031-S1031, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] Based on the above steps S101 to S103, after obtaining the seat position information and the relative position information of the driver's head relative to the seat, the relative coordinates of the first driver's head are further determined, and then the current center position of the sound field is determined, thereby achieving the purpose of providing the center position of the sound field for users of different heights, weights and driving habits, thereby providing different users with the best music experience.

[0073] Step S1031: Determine whether the relative coordinates of the first driver's head determined in step S102 are consistent with the relative coordinates of the second driver's head, where the relative coordinates of the second driver's head are the relative coordinates of the driver's head stored last time; if the two are consistent, add an identification bit 0 to the relative coordinates of the first driver's head; if the two are inconsistent, add an identification bit 1 to the relative coordinates of the first driver's head.

[0074] Step S1032: Determine whether the relative coordinate flag of the first driver's head is 1. Figure 2 As shown. When the first driver head relative coordinate identification bit is 0, the sound field position corresponding to the last stored relative coordinate of the driver's head is used as the current sound field center position, that is, the last stored sound field position can be directly used to play music. Specifically, the sound field position corresponding to the last stored relative coordinate of the driver's head can be the main driver surround sound field position set by the tuner when the vehicle leaves the factory, or it can be the sound field position corresponding to the driver who drove the vehicle last time. When the first driver head relative coordinate identification bit is 1, the sound field self-calibration method is used to determine the current sound field center position.

[0075] Specifically, during sound field self-calibration, a third driver's head relative coordinate from the historical driver's head relative coordinate data set is first obtained, whose difference with the first driver's head relative coordinate is less than a difference threshold. If the historical driver's head relative coordinate data set contains a third driver's head relative coordinate whose difference with the first driver's head relative coordinate is less than the difference threshold, the current sound field center position is determined based on the third driver's head relative coordinate. Specifically, the sound field position corresponding to the third driver's head relative coordinate is used as the current sound field center position. If the historical driver's head relative coordinate data set contains multiple third driver's head relative coordinates whose difference with the first driver's head relative coordinate is less than the difference threshold, the sound field position corresponding to the average of the multiple third driver's head relative coordinates is used as the current sound field center position. Alternatively, the sound field position corresponding to the third driver's head relative coordinate with the smallest difference with the first driver's head relative coordinate can be used as the current sound field center position. After determining the current sound field center position, the current sound field center position is used to replace the previously stored sound field data, thereby enabling music playback. Generally speaking, the driver's weight may affect the fore-aft position, height, and backrest angle of the seat. Therefore, the driver's weight also affects the sound field center position. The above-mentioned driver head relative coordinate historical data set is a database, which stores the relative coordinates of the heads of drivers with different heights, weights and driving habits, and the sound field center positions corresponding to the relative coordinates of the drivers' heads.

[0076] By adding identification bits to the relative coordinates of the driver's head and then using self-calibration to obtain the center position of the sound field, we can provide different sound field center positions for users of different heights, weights, and driving habits, realize automatic control of the sound field center position, and improve the user experience.

[0077] It should be pointed out that although the various steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art will understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not have to be performed in such an order. They can be performed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders. These changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0078] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a main driving sound field automatic control system.

[0079] See attached Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a main structural block diagram of the automatic control of the main driving sound field according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the main driver sound field automatic control system in an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes an information acquisition device 11, an image acquisition device 12, a first controller 13, and a second controller 14.

In some embodiments, the information acquisition device 11 can be configured to obtain seat position information, such as seat horizontal position information, seat height position information, and seat back angle information. The image acquisition device 12 can be configured to obtain relative position information of the driver's head relative to the seat. The image acquisition device 12 here can be implemented by an in-cabin camera 121, but is not limited to this.

The second controller 14 is configured to obtain the current sound field center position based on the relative coordinates of the first driver's head. In one embodiment, the description of the specific implementation functions can be found in steps S101 to S103.

[0080] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the first controller 13 further includes a seat controller 131 and a vehicle controller 132. The seat controller 131 is configured to obtain the absolute coordinates of the current seat headrest based on the seat position information; the vehicle controller 132 is configured to determine the relative coordinates of the first driver's head based on the absolute coordinates of the current seat headrest and the relative position of the driver's head relative to the seat headrest. In addition, the main driver's sound field automatic control system may also include the following Figure 4 The gateway 15 shown in FIG. 1 is configured to output the absolute coordinates of the current seat headrest obtained by the seat controller 131 to the vehicle controller 132. Specifically, the relative coordinates of the first driver's head can be obtained by Figure 5The process shown determines that first, the seat controller 131 obtains the seat horizontal position information, seat height position information and seat back angle information, and the in-cabin camera 121 obtains the position image of the driver and the seat headrest, and then obtains the relative position information of the driver's head relative to the seat and outputs it to the vehicle controller 132. The vehicle controller 132 calculates the relative coordinates of the driver's head based on the received information.

[0081] In one embodiment, the second controller 14 further includes a judgment module, which can be further controlled by the power amplifier controller 141 (see Figure 4 ) is implemented, the power amplifier controller 141 is configured to determine whether the relative coordinates of the first driver's head are consistent with the relative coordinates of the driver's head stored last time; if the two are consistent, an identification bit 0 is added to the relative coordinates of the first driver's head, and the sound field position corresponding to the relative coordinates of the driver's head stored last time is used as the current sound field center position, that is, the sound field position stored last time can be directly used for music playback; if the two are inconsistent, an identification bit 1 is added to the relative coordinates of the first driver's head, and the sound field self-calibration method is used to determine the current sound field center position.

[0082] The judgment module further includes a coordinate acquisition unit and a sound field center position unit. The coordinate acquisition unit is configured to obtain a third driver head relative coordinate in the driver head relative coordinate history data set, whose difference with the first driver head relative coordinate is less than a difference threshold; the sound field center position unit is configured to determine the current sound field center position based on the third driver head relative coordinate when the driver head relative coordinate history data set contains a third driver head relative coordinate whose difference with the first driver head relative coordinate is less than the difference threshold; when the driver head relative coordinate history data set contains multiple third driver head relative coordinates whose difference with the first driver head relative coordinate is less than the difference threshold, the current sound field center position can be determined based on the average value of the multiple third driver head relative coordinates; or the current sound field center position can be determined based on the third driver head relative coordinate whose difference with the first driver head relative coordinate is the smallest.
