[0002] In daily life, people cannot do without headphones when watching TV or listening to music. Headphones include: full-in-ear headphones, semi-in-ear headphones, etc. Among them, semi-in-ear headphones have a large market due to their comfortable wearing advantages. However, semi-in-ear headphones have the problem of poor wearing consistency due to different ear canal sizes of different users, that is, for the same pair of semi-in-ear headphones, different users may have different hearing sensations; full-in-ear headphones also have a smaller problem of poor wearing consistency due to different ear canal sizes of different users.

[0009] In addition, the preset coefficient of dispersion of the method for testing the consistency of earphone wearing is 0.1-0.2.

[0010] In addition, the frequency of the audio signal of the method for testing the wearing consistency of headphones is 20Hz-10KHz.

[0024] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the various embodiments of the present application, many technical details are provided in order to enable the reader to better understand the embodiments of the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed for protection in the present application can be implemented.

[0025] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for testing earphone wearing consistency provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 Another flow chart of a method for testing earphone wearing consistency provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the method for testing earphone wearing consistency includes the following steps:

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in step 101, a test signal is sent to the headset to be tested.

[0027] Specifically, it is necessary to first provide a headset to be tested and multiple test subjects, and each test subject will wear the headset to be tested for testing. In some embodiments, the headset to be tested can be a semi-in-ear headset, for example, a semi-in-ear TWS headset (True Wireless Stereo). To further ensure the accuracy of the test, the multiple test subjects include males and females. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, step 101 may include: step 11, preparing the headphones to be tested and the digital microphone for receiving the sound; step 12, randomly finding 25 adult males and adult females for wearing test as test subjects. Specifically, it is necessary to prepare the headphones to be tested with a complete cavity structure and ensure that the cavity is well sealed. In addition, a digital microphone that can work normally and an AudioPrecision tester for audio debugging are required; among multiple test subjects, the number of males and females can be the same.

[0028] Then, you need to build a test environment and connect the test path. The wire flying out of the speaker of the headset to be tested is connected to the Audio Precision tester through a BNC line, so that the Audio Precision tester can control the speaker of the headset to be tested to make sound. The digital microphone with flying wire is connected to the battery for power supply, and the digital microphone is placed in the sound outlet of the headset to be tested, and the flying wire hole is sealed with rubber glue to ensure the sealing of the headset cavity to be tested, so as to obtain the audio signal of the headset to be tested. Then, the alligator clips of the BNC adapter are respectively clamped to the output end (output) and the ground end (GND) of the digital microphone, and the other end of the BNC adapter is connected to the input end of the Audio Precision tester, so that the Audio Precision tester can obtain the audio signal output by the headset to be tested and analyze it to obtain the frequency response curve.

[0029] After the test environment is set up, the Audio Precision tester can be used to modify the relevant parameters to send test signals to the headphones under test.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in step 102, an audio signal sent from the headset to be tested based on a test signal is received.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, in step 13, after the test subject has finished wearing the headphones, the Audio Precision tester modifies the relevant parameters and sends a test signal to the headphones to be tested so that the speakers of the headphones to be tested send a stable audio signal from 20Hz to 10KHz. The audio signal can be collected by the digital microphone.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in step 103, a plurality of frequency response curves are obtained, each of which is obtained based on an audio signal emitted by the earphone to be tested worn by the corresponding test subject.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, in step 14, the data microphone is placed at the sound outlet of the headphone to be tested, and receives the audio signal emitted by the speaker of the headphone to be tested, and obtains the frequency response curve after being processed and analyzed by the Audio Precision tester.

[0034] Specifically, the Audio Precision tester receives audio signals received by a digital microphone, and can batch process the data in the acquired audio signals at one time during the data analysis process, and finally obtains the corresponding frequency response curve, saving the time spent on exporting data one by one.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the method may further include step 15, determining whether the frequency response curve is normal. If not, proceed to step 16, check the test equipment and the test path connection and re-wear the headphones to be tested. If yes, proceed to step 17, maintain the current state, repeat the test twice, until the test of all test objects is completed.

[0036] That is, before obtaining the discrete coefficient, the method further includes: determining whether the frequency response curve is normal; if the frequency response curve is abnormal, adjusting the test environment of the headphone to be tested and re-obtaining the adjusted frequency response curve.

[0037] Specifically, the following standards can be used to determine whether the frequency response curve is normal:

[0038] (1) Is there a sudden drop at low frequency? A small drop is allowed. This is caused by leakage during wearing and is a normal phenomenon.

[0039] (2) Check whether there are too many or too sharp burrs on the frequency response curve (this may be caused by the experimental environment. Check whether there are any abnormalities in the test environment in time);

[0040] (3) Whether it conforms to the overall trend of the frequency response curve. If the trends of multiple frequency response curves are consistent, it means that the frequency response curve test is basically accurate.

[0041] refer to Figure 1, step 104, based on the multiple frequency response curves corresponding to the test object, obtain the discrete coefficients corresponding to the multiple frequency response curves.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Step 18, export the frequency response curve from the Audio Precision tester and calculate the dispersion coefficient.

[0043] The method to obtain the discrete coefficient can be: Discrete coefficient = sqrt(((x1-x) 2 +(x2-x) 2 +......(x n -x) 2 ) / (n-1)) / ((x1+x2+…+x n ) / n) to calculate the discrete coefficient. Wherein, sqrt represents the square root function, n represents the number of the test objects, x1 to x n represents the sensitivity value of the frequency response curve corresponding to the test object, and x is from x1 to x n The sum of divided by n gives the average.

[0044] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the amount of calculation, the method for obtaining the discrete coefficient may further include: obtaining a corresponding sub-frequency response curve within a preset frequency band in each frequency response curve; and calculating the discrete coefficient based on multiple sub-frequency response curves. The preset frequency band is generally a low frequency band, for example, the preset frequency band may be 20 Hz-100 Hz.

[0045] Step 105: Obtain the wearing consistency of the earphone to be tested based on the dispersion coefficient.

[0046] The dispersion coefficient can reflect the degree of dispersion of the data. The larger the dispersion coefficient, the greater the degree of dispersion of the data. Correspondingly, for the test of the wearing consistency of the earphones, the larger the dispersion coefficient, the worse the wearing consistency. Accordingly, based on the dispersion coefficient, the method for obtaining the wearing consistency of the earphones to be tested includes: comparing the dispersion coefficient with the preset dispersion coefficient; if the dispersion coefficient is greater than the preset dispersion coefficient, it is determined that the wearing consistency of the earphones to be tested is poor; if the dispersion coefficient is less than or equal to the preset dispersion coefficient, it is determined that the wearing consistency of the earphones to be tested is good.

[0047] The embodiments of the present application used different finished earphones for repeated testing and found that the dispersion coefficient was stable between 0.1-0.2, and the corresponding preset dispersion coefficient was 0.1-0.2.

[0048] In addition, by analyzing the dispersion coefficient distribution curves of six semi-in-ear TWS earphones with good user experience, it can be found that when the dispersion coefficient is around 0.15, the dispersion coefficient curves of the six earphones are relatively dense, and the dispersion coefficients of the low-frequency bands of four earphones are distributed around 0.15. Therefore, 0.15 can also be selected as the preset dispersion coefficient to measure the wearing consistency of the earphones to be tested. It should be noted that the earphones used to determine the preset dispersion coefficient cover as many sizes of earphones on the market as possible and with good user feedback. Therefore, the preset dispersion coefficient of 0.15 has a certain universality and can be applied to the wearing consistency test of many earphones.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , step 19, determining whether the coefficient of dispersion exceeds 0.15, if so, it indicates that the wearing consistency is poor, if not, it indicates that the wearing consistency is good.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for testing the wearing consistency of headphones is provided for the first time. The relationship between the discrete coefficient corresponding to the headphones to be tested and the wearing consistency of the headphones to be tested is utilized, and the wearing consistency of the headphones to be tested is directly reflected by calculating the discrete coefficient of the frequency response curve corresponding to the headphones to be tested. A preset discrete coefficient is also provided, and the discrete coefficient of the headphones to be tested is compared with the preset discrete coefficient, thereby realizing a scientific and effective way to obtain the wearing consistency of the headphones to be tested. Moreover, the preset discrete coefficient is obtained by calculating and testing finished headphones of all sizes on the market with good user feedback, and can be applied to the wearing consistency testing of many finished headphones, thereby improving the wide applicability and functionality of the method for analyzing the wearing consistency of headphones.

[0051] An embodiment of the present application also provides a testing device for analyzing the wearing consistency of headphones, and the testing device includes a module that can be used to implement the method for testing the wearing consistency of headphones provided in the above embodiment.

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the test device includes: an output module 301, which is used to generate and send a test signal, and the headphone to be tested outputs an audio signal after receiving the test signal; a digital microphone 303, which is used to collect the audio signal output by the headphone to be tested; a processing module 304, which is used to collect and digitally process the audio signal received by the digital microphone, and obtain and derive a frequency response curve based on the audio signal; an acquisition module 305, which is used to obtain a discrete coefficient based on a plurality of the frequency response curves, and obtain the wearing consistency of the headphone to be tested based on the discrete coefficient.

[0053] Accordingly, during the test using the test device, the test device also includes a headset 302 to be tested.

[0054] In addition, in some embodiments, the processing module 304 is further used to determine whether the frequency response curve is normal. If the frequency response curve is abnormal, it is instructed to adjust the test environment of the headset to be tested and re-acquire the adjusted frequency response curve.

[0055] It is not difficult to find that the embodiment of the test device and the aforementioned method for testing earphone wearing consistency can be implemented in conjunction with each other.

The bus can also connect various other circuits such as peripheral devices, voltage regulators, and power management circuits, which are all well known in the art, and therefore, are not further described herein. The bus interface provides an interface between the bus and the transceiver. The transceiver can be one element or multiple elements, such as multiple receivers and transmitters, providing a unit for communicating with various other devices on a transmission medium. The information processed by the processor 402 is transmitted on a wireless medium through an antenna, and further, the antenna also receives information and transmits the information to the processor 402.
