Detailed Embodiments

[0026] In order to make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] To solve the problem of poor sound field effect of the independent sound zone in the vehicle in the related art, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a sound field optimization method, which is applied to an intelligent cockpit audio system. The intelligent cockpit audio system includes a first speaker and a second speaker respectively arranged on the front row seat and the rear row seat on the same side. The first speaker is arranged at the back of the front row seat, and the second speaker is arranged at the headrest of the rear row seat. In practical applications, the intelligent cockpit audio system includes, but is not limited to, a stereo system, a multi-channel system, and a headphone system. In a preferred embodiment, the speaker in this embodiment is a moving coil full-band miniature vehicle speaker with a size of 30*60*12mm, and other types or sizes of speakers can also be used.

[0028] As Figure 1 is a layout schematic diagram of an intelligent cockpit audio system provided in this embodiment. The first speaker in this embodiment is preferably a speaker array group, and the speaker array group includes a plurality of speaker arrays with different installation positions (such as Figure 1 shown by the number 1 in Figure 1 ), and the second speaker is a headrest speaker group, and a plurality of headrest speakers can be arranged at the headrest position of each rear row seat (such as

[0029] shown by the number 2 in

[0030] As Figure 2 is a basic flowchart of the sound field optimization method provided in this embodiment. The sound field optimization method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 201: Based on the audio parameters to be calculated of each speaker, the acoustic response transfer function, and the first acoustic transfer function relative to the reference position in the control area, construct a first acoustic response model, and based on the audio parameters to be calculated, the acoustic response transfer function, and the second acoustic transfer function relative to the reference position in the non-control area, construct a second acoustic response model.

[0032] Specifically, in practical applications, the rear seats of a car are usually divided into left and right partitions. The control area in this embodiment is the rear seat partition where the rear passenger is currently sitting, which can be understood as the listening area where the target passenger is located. The non-control area is the rear seat partition where the rear passenger is not currently sitting, which can be understood as other areas where the target passenger is not located.

[0033] It should be noted that the acoustic transfer function in this embodiment refers to the ratio of the Laplace transform value (or z-transform) of the response (i.e., output) quantity of a linear system under zero initial conditions to the Laplace transform value of the excitation (i.e., input) quantity, denoted as H = Y / U, where Y and U are the Laplace transform values of the output quantity and the input quantity respectively. The acoustic transfer function is one of the basic mathematical tools for describing the dynamic characteristics of a linear system and one of the main tools for studying classical control theory. In practical applications, the acoustic transfer function in this embodiment can be directly measured from the actual situation inside the vehicle.

[0034] In some implementation manners of this embodiment, the step of constructing the first acoustic response model based on the audio parameters to be calculated of each speaker, the acoustic response transfer function, and the first acoustic transfer function relative to the reference position in the control area includes: constructing the first acoustic response model based on the audio parameters to be calculated of each speaker, the acoustic response transfer function, and the first acoustic transfer function relative to the positions of the ears on different sides of the rear passengers in the control area respectively.

[0035] As Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the acoustic response when an audio signal propagates to the control area inside the vehicle provided by this embodiment. As Figure 4 is another schematic diagram of the acoustic response when an audio signal propagates to the control area inside the vehicle provided by this embodiment. The speaker array group on the back of the front seat includes speaker 3, speaker 4, speaker 5, and speaker 6, and the headrest speakers of the rear seat include speaker 7 and speaker 8. For the passengers on the right side of the rear row, the position on the right side of the rear row is the control area 9, and the position on the left side of the rear row is the non-control area 10. In this embodiment, the optimization process of the sound field at the position on the right side of the rear row is mainly used as an example for description, and the position on the left side of the rear row is symmetric to the right side, and the processing method belongs to the same concept. For the specific implementation, reference can be made to the subsequent implementation manners, and this embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0036] As Figure 3 and 4 shown, H 1R 、H 2R 、H 3R 、H 4R 、H 5R 、H 6R respectively represent the acoustic transfer functions of speaker 3, speaker 4, speaker 5, speaker 6, speaker 7, and speaker 8 relative to the right ear of the rear passenger at the control area 9, and H 1L, H 2L , H 3L , H 4L , H 5L , H 6L respectively represent the acoustic transfer functions from speakers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to the left ear of the passenger in the control area 9. Additionally, if the audio parameter to be calculated for the outputs of speakers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to be controlled are S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 respectively, then after electro-acoustic conversion by speakers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, the finally output physical sounds are S1·h1, S2·h2, S3·h3, S4·h4, S5·h5, and S6·h6, where h1 to h6 represent the acoustic response transfer functions of speakers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Then the first acoustic response model at the left ear of the rear passenger in the control area 9 can be expressed as:

[0037] [S1·h1 S2·h2 S3·h3 S4·h4 S5·h5 S6·h6][H 1L H 2L H 3L H 4L H 5L H 6L T

[0038] where, T represents the transpose calculation of the matrix.

[0039] Similarly, the first acoustic response model at the right ear of the rear passenger in the control area 9 can be expressed as:

[0040] [S1·h1 S2·h2 S3·h3 S4·h4 S5·h5 S6·h6][H 1R H 2R H 3R H 4R H 5R H 6R T

[0041] In addition, as Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the acoustic response of an audio signal propagating to a non-control area in the vehicle, where H 1D , H 2D , H 3D , H 4D , H 5D , H 6D ​​respectively represent the acoustic transfer functions of speakers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 relative to the non-control area 10. Then, the second acoustic response model at the non-control area 10 can be expressed as:

[0042] [S1·h1 S2·h2 S3·h3 S4·h4 S5·h5 S6·h6][H 1D H 2D H 3D H 4D H 5D H 6D T

[0043] Step 102: Based on the first acoustic response model and the second acoustic response model, construct a first acoustic response difference calculation model.

[0044] Specifically, in order to achieve the sound field effect of an independent sound zone in the vehicle, it should be ensured that after the audio signal propagates through space, the acoustic response difference between the control area and the non-control area is maximized. In this embodiment, after calculating the acoustic responses of the control area and the non-control area respectively, the two are subtracted to obtain an acoustic response difference calculation model.

[0045] Step 103: Taking the maximization of the acoustic response difference between the control area and the non-control area as the constraint condition of the first acoustic response difference calculation model, calculate the optimal solutions of the audio parameters corresponding to the audio parameters to be calculated for each speaker.

[0046] Specifically, the audio parameters S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 of the audio signals output by speakers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in this embodiment should respectively satisfy the optimal solutions of the following conditions:

[0047]

[0048] where || represents calculating the modulus of the vector. Through the processing optimization of this part, the acoustic response difference between the control area 9 and the non-control area 10 can be maximized, achieving an ideal sound zone isolation degree.

[0049] ​Further, in some embodiments of the present embodiment, before the step of calculating the optimal solution of the audio parameters corresponding to the audio parameters to be calculated for each speaker with the maximum acoustic response difference between the control region and the non-control region as the constraint condition of the first acoustic response difference calculation model, it further includes: respectively constructing a third acoustic response model based on the simulated audio parameters of the virtual speakers oppositely arranged at different side ear positions of the rear passengers, the acoustic response transfer function, and the third acoustic transfer function relative to the corresponding side ear positions; constructing a second acoustic response difference calculation model based on the first acoustic response model and the third acoustic response model.

[0050] Correspondingly, the step of calculating the optimal solution of the audio parameters corresponding to the audio parameters to be calculated for each speaker with the maximum acoustic response difference between the control region and the non-control region as the constraint condition of the first acoustic response difference calculation model includes: calculating the optimal solution of the audio parameters corresponding to the audio parameters to be calculated for each speaker jointly with the maximum acoustic response difference between the control region and the non-control region as the constraint condition of the first acoustic response difference calculation model and the minimum difference between the actual acoustic response and the simulated acoustic response as the constraint condition of the second acoustic response difference calculation model.

[0051] As Figure 6 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the acoustic response of a virtual audio signal propagating to the control region in the vehicle interior provided in this embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the left-channel virtual speaker 11 and the right-channel virtual speaker 12 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the passengers in the control region. It should be noted that the left-channel virtual speaker 11 and the right-channel virtual speaker 12 are only used for measuring and determining the target acoustic response, and there is no speaker at this position during actual use. Then, the target acoustic response of the left ear of the rear passenger in the control region is:

[0052] S L ·h L ·H LL

[0053] Wherein, S L is the audio parameter corresponding to the simulated left-channel audio signal, h L is the acoustic response transfer function of the left-channel virtual speaker 11, and H LL is the acoustic transfer function from the left-channel virtual speaker 11 to the position of the left ear of the passenger in the control region.

[0054] Correspondingly, the target acoustic response of the right ear of the rear passenger in the control region is:

[0055] S R ·h R ·H RR

[0056] Wherein, S RAudio parameters corresponding to the simulated right-channel audio signal, h R Acoustic response transfer function of the right-channel virtual speaker 12, H RR Acoustic transfer function from the right-channel virtual speaker 12 to the position of the passenger's right ear within the control area.

[0057] Furthermore, while optimizing the aforementioned sound zone isolation, sound zone sound field optimization processing is also carried out, so that the audio signal actually transmitted into the passenger's ear in the control area is consistent with or as close as possible to the response generated by the target acoustic system to be simulated in the control area. Then, the audio signal finally output by the speaker should also meet the following conditions at the same time:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, || represents calculating the modulus value of the vector. Through the optimization of this part, the actual acoustic listening experience generated by the speaker array group composed of speakers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and the headrest speaker at the passenger position in the control area can be optimized to be closest to the acoustic listening experience generated by the left-channel virtual speaker 11 and the right-channel virtual speaker 12 at the passenger position in the control area, so as to further optimize the sound field effect in the control area while achieving the independent sound zone zoning effect.

[0060] Similarly, the speaker array group and the headrest speaker on the left side of the rear seat can refer to the aforementioned implementation method for the same optimization processing, which will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0061] In addition, the distance d between the speaker array groups will affect the result of the acoustic transfer function. Therefore, in actual design, it can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation and design objectives.

[0062] Step 104: Control each speaker to output an audio signal according to the optimal solution of the corresponding audio parameter.

[0063] Specifically, after all speakers output audio signals, the sound transmitted into the passenger's ear is the superposition sum of the sounds emitted by the speaker array group and the headrest speaker at the position of the passenger's ear in the control area. In this embodiment, the front-row seat speaker array group and the rear-row seat headrest speaker are used to simulate the response of the target acoustic system object while maximizing the acoustic response difference between the control area and the non-control area, so that the difference between the actual acoustic response and the simulated acoustic response in the control area is minimized, and further optimize the sound field of the independent sound zone in the vehicle. Its advantage is that while meeting the in-vehicle independent sound zone control, it optimizes the sound field effect in the control area and provides a better acoustic experience for users.

[0064] Compared with the related art, the sound field optimization method provided in this embodiment constructs a first acoustic response model for the in-vehicle control area and a second acoustic response model for the in-vehicle non-control area; based on the first acoustic response model and the second acoustic response model, constructs a first acoustic response difference calculation model; takes the maximization of the acoustic response difference between the control area and the non-control area as the constraint condition of the first acoustic response difference calculation model, calculates the optimal solution of the audio parameters corresponding to the audio parameters to be calculated of each speaker; controls each speaker to output an audio signal according to the corresponding optimal solution of the audio parameters. Through the implementation of the present invention, by taking the maximization of the acoustic response difference between the control area and the non-control area as the constraint condition to control the audio signals output by different speakers, an ideal sound zone isolation degree is achieved, which can provide users with a more extreme acoustic listening experience and optimize the sound field effect of the control area where users are located in the vehicle.
