[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the specific implementation methods described here are only used to explain the present disclosure and do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used in the specification of the present disclosure herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0047] At present, mobile phones, tablet computers and other terminal devices have become indispensable technology products in people's life, study and entertainment. Terminal devices usually convert electrical signals into sound through sound components to have sound-generating functions. However, there are many types and brands of terminal devices with sound-generating functions, which makes it possible for consumers to choose from a lot of terminal devices. How to win the favor of consumers and improve product competitiveness has become an issue that terminal device manufacturers are paying more and more attention to.

[0048] For the sake of aesthetics and portability, terminal devices also need to adapt to the needs of miniaturization. In related technologies, the internal space utilization of terminal devices is improved by using sound-generating components that have both speaker and receiver functions. Although this type of sound-generating component has two sound-generating functions, it is easily affected by current sound in the receiver sound-generating mode, which is not conducive to improving user experience. The traditional method for suppressing the influence of current sound requires the addition of more electronic devices (such as resistors and micro-switches), and the structural design is complex, which is not conducive to improving the internal space utilization of terminal devices.

[0049] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a sound control method for a terminal device, which can suppress the influence of current sound without increasing the structural design difficulty of the sound component, improve user experience, and improve the internal space utilization of the terminal device.

[0050] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling the sound emission of a terminal device, which can be used to control the sound emission of a sound emission component. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The figure is a flow chart of a method for controlling sound emission according to an embodiment. The method may include the following steps:

[0051] In S101, the sound-emitting component is controlled to switch between a speaker sound-emitting mode and an earpiece sound-emitting mode.

[0052] In the disclosed embodiment, the sound-generating component has a speaker sound-generating function and a receiver sound-generating function, including a speaker and a receiver two-in-one speaker. In addition, the speaker sound-generating mode can be understood as the sound is emitted outward, the volume is large, and the electroacoustic conversion efficiency is high, that is, the impedance is small and the sensitivity is high; while the receiver sound-generating mode can be understood as the sound has no leakage, the volume is small, and the electroacoustic conversion efficiency is low. At present, the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the speaker sound is getting higher and higher, resulting in the sound-generating component with the speaker sound-generating function and the receiver sound-generating function being easily interfered by the outside world in the receiver sound-generating mode. For example, if the original 32ohm sound-generating component is changed to 6ohm, the large current fluctuation inside the terminal device will produce a magnetic field change, causing the voice coil of the sound-generating component to generate an induced electromotive force. When the impedance of the sound-generating component becomes smaller, the induced current will increase accordingly, and the induced current will drive the coil sound interference to increase, resulting in the sound-generating component being easy to generate noise when it sounds in the receiver mode.

[0053] The handset mode can also be understood as the receiver mode.

[0054] In one example, the sound-emitting component switches between a speaker sound-emitting mode and an earpiece sound-emitting mode through an audio power amplifier.

[0055] In one example, the sound-generating component is a piezoelectric speaker. In this way, the advantages of the piezoelectric speaker, such as simple structure, small size, and low cost, can be fully utilized, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the terminal device and meeting the miniaturization development of the terminal device. Furthermore, the terminal device disclosed in the present invention has the advantages of small size, light weight, and low power consumption while having the speaker sound-generating function and the earpiece sound-generating function, which is conducive to gaining the favor of consumers and further improving the competitiveness of the product.

[0056] In S102, when the sound-emitting component is in the earpiece sound-emitting mode, the audio power amplifier generates a first driving current, and drives the diaphragm of the sound-emitting component to be in a biased state through the first driving current, and vibrates and produces sound in the biased state, and the electro-acoustic conversion efficiency of the sound-emitting component is lower than the electro-acoustic conversion efficiency when the sound-emitting component is in the speaker sound-emitting mode.

[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, the diaphragm of the sound-generating component is in a biased state, that is, the diaphragm is in a taut state, so that the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound-generating component is lower than that when the sound-generating component is in a speaker sounding mode, and the sensitivity is reduced. When vibrating and emitting sound in the biased state, even if the large current fluctuation inside the terminal device will cause a change in the magnetic field, the voice coil of the sound-generating component will generate an induced electromotive force. When the impedance of the sound-generating component is reduced, the induced current will increase accordingly, and when the sound-generating component emits sound in the handset mode, its sensitivity is reduced, resulting in the diaphragm being less susceptible to interference and generating noise.

[0058] In addition, the first driving current A1 is equal to the sum of the signal current A2 for driving the diaphragm to vibrate and the bias current A3 for driving the diaphragm to bias, that is, A1=A2+A3.

[0059] In one example, the diaphragm is biased upward or downward so that the diaphragm is in a taut state.

[0060] In one example, the audio power amplifier generally includes an audio input terminal, an audio output terminal, a power amplifier circuit, and an impedance adjustment circuit. The audio input terminal is used to connect to an external audio output device, the audio input terminal is also connected to the input terminal of the power amplifier circuit, the output terminal of the power amplifier circuit is connected to the audio output terminal, and the audio output terminal is used to connect to an external sound-generating component.

[0061] In this way, when the above-mentioned sound control method is applied to the terminal device, the sound component can be controlled to switch between the speaker sound mode and the earpiece sound mode; and when the sound component is in the earpiece sound mode, the audio power amplifier generates a first driving current, and the diaphragm of the sound component is driven to be in a biased state by the first driving current, so that the diaphragm is not easily affected by the external current, so that the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound component is lower than the electroacoustic conversion efficiency when the sound component is in the speaker sound mode, and at the same time, the diaphragm can vibrate and sound in the biased state through the first driving current to realize the earpiece sound. In this way, the sound control method of the terminal device can suppress the influence of the current sound in the earpiece sound mode without increasing the difficulty of the structural design of the sound component, and can improve the user experience; the sound structure of the terminal device is simple, which is conducive to improving the internal space utilization of the terminal device.

[0062] In addition, it can be understood that compared with the traditional sound-emitting component, the sound-emitting component of the present disclosure can compensate for the signal current of the sound-emitting component in the earpiece sound-emitting mode when the diaphragm is in a biased state, and the supplement coefficient can be selected according to the actual situation. For example, it can be increased by 1% to 30%. Specifically, it can be 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 23%, 25%, 30%, etc., so that the volume of the sound-emitting component in the earpiece sound-emitting mode can meet the requirements.

[0063] In one example, under the same sound-generating component, the driving current of the conventional sound-generating component in the earpiece sound-generating mode is A, and when the sound-generating control method disclosed in the present invention is used for sound generation, the first driving current A1 is equal to AX1.1+bias current A3. That is, the signal current A2 for driving the diaphragm to vibrate is equal to AX1.1.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the diaphragm is in a biased state, the vibration stiffness coefficient of the sound-emitting component increases, and the electromagnetic driving force coefficient of the sound-emitting component decreases, so that the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound-emitting component decreases. In this way, by utilizing the nonlinear characteristics of speaker vibration, when the sound-emitting component is in the earpiece sounding mode, the diaphragm is in a biased state by utilizing the first driving current, the vibration stiffness coefficient of the sound-emitting component increases, and the electromagnetic driving force coefficient of the sound-emitting component decreases, so that the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound-emitting component decreases, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the earpiece, reducing the influence of interference signals on the sound of the earpiece, and not affecting the sensitivity and loudness of the speaker sounding mode.

[0065] Reference Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the sound-generating component 210 includes a magnetic driver 212, and the magnetic driver 212 is spaced apart from the diaphragm 211. When the sound-generating component 210 is not in use or in a speaker sounding mode, the diaphragm 211 and the magnetic driver 212 are in a balanced state; when the diaphragm 211 is in a balanced state, the diaphragm 211 is arranged away from or close to the magnetic driver 212, so that the diaphragm 211 enters a biased state. It should be noted that when the sound-generating component 210 is not in use, that is, when the sound-generating component 210 is not powered on, the diaphragm 211 will be suspended and balanced above the magnetic driver 212, and the diaphragm 211 and the magnetic driver 212 are in a balanced state. At this time, the diaphragm 211 has high sensitivity, so that the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound-generating component 210 is high. The sound-generating component 210 of the present disclosure performs speaker sounding in a balanced state, and its sensitivity and loudness are high. When the sound-generating component is powered on, it is in use mode. In the use state, the speaker sounding mode or the earpiece sounding mode can be selected as needed.

[0066] The bias state can be understood as being in an unbalanced state. Relative to the balanced state, the diaphragm will be set away from or close to the magnetic driver, and the sensitivity of the diaphragm will be reduced.

[0067] In combination with the above embodiments, in some embodiments, when the sound-emitting component is in the receiver sound-emitting mode, the sound-emitting control method further includes: driving the diaphragm from the equilibrium state away from or close to the magnetic driver through the first driving current, so that the diaphragm is in a biased state. That is, the first driving current has a biasing effect, so that the diaphragm is away from or close to the magnetic driver, so that the diaphragm is in a biased state, thereby reducing the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound-emitting component and improving its anti-interference ability, so that the sound-emitting component can clearly emit sound in the receiver sound-emitting mode.

[0068] In combination with the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the first driving current is A1, the signal current used to drive the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound in the earpiece sounding mode is A2, and the bias current used to drive the diaphragm to move from the equilibrium state to the biased state is A3; wherein, A1=A2+A3. In this way, the first driving current is formed by superposition of the signal current and the bias current, which facilitates the flexible and regular adjustment of the magnitude of the first driving current according to the actual situation of the sounding component, so that the sounding control method can control the sounding of different types of sounding components, and in the earpiece sounding mode, it can suppress noise and produce clear sound.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the diaphragm is in a balanced state, the distance between the diaphragm and the magnetic driver is L1, and when the diaphragm is in a biased state, the distance between the diaphragm and the magnetic driver is L2; ​​wherein, the offset distance between L2 and L1 is determined according to the noise interference information and the safe amplitude distance of the diaphragm. In this way, the offset distance between L2 and L1 is determined according to the noise interference information and the safe amplitude distance of the diaphragm, which facilitates the flexible and regular adjustment of the offset distance of the diaphragm according to the actual situation of the sound-emitting component, so that the sound control method can control the sound of different types of sound-emitting components, and in the earpiece sound-emitting mode, it can suppress noise and clearly emit sound.

[0070] Based on any of the above embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the sound control method further includes step S103: when the sound-generating component is in the speaker sound-generating mode, the audio power amplifier generates a second driving current, and the diaphragm is driven to be in a balanced state by the second driving current, and vibrates and sounds in the balanced state. In this way, the diaphragm is driven to be in a balanced state by the second driving current, and vibrates and sounds in the balanced state, ensuring that the sensitivity and loudness of the speaker sound-generating mode are not affected.

[0071] Optionally, in some embodiments, the audio power amplifier is further integrated with a processing module, which can sense the state of the sound-generating component and perform fine-tuning processing. For example, the output drive current can be dynamically adjusted according to the sound-generating component.

[0072] Correspondingly, the present disclosure also provides a storage medium that can be read by a computer, and a computer program is stored on the storage medium. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the sound control method in any of the above embodiments is implemented.

[0073] The above-mentioned storage medium stores the sound control method in any of the above-mentioned embodiments. When applied to a terminal device, it can also suppress the influence of the current sound in the earpiece sound mode without increasing the difficulty of the structural design of the sound component, and will not affect the sensitivity and loudness of the speaker sound mode, thereby improving the user experience; making the sound structure of the terminal device simple, which is conducive to improving the internal space utilization of the terminal device.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a sound control device of a terminal device, including a switching module 101 and an earpiece driving module 102; the switching module 101 is used to control the sound component 210 to switch between a speaker sound mode and an earpiece sound mode; the earpiece driving module 102 is used to enable the audio power amplifier 220 to generate a first driving current, and the diaphragm 211 of the sound component 210 is driven by the first driving current to be in a biased state, and vibrates and sounds in the biased state, and the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound component 210 is less than the electroacoustic conversion efficiency when the sound component 210 is in the speaker sound mode.

[0075] When the above-mentioned sound control device is applied to a terminal device, the switching module 101 can be used to control the sound component 210 to switch between the speaker sound mode and the earpiece sound mode; the earpiece drive module 102 enables the audio power amplifier 220 to generate a first driving current, and the diaphragm 211 of the sound component 210 is driven to be in a biased state by the first driving current, so that the diaphragm 211 is not easily affected by the external current, so that the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound component 210 is less than the electroacoustic conversion efficiency when the sound component 210 is in the speaker sound mode, and at the same time, the diaphragm 211 can vibrate and make sound in the biased state through the first driving current to achieve earpiece sound. In this way, the use of the sound control device can suppress the influence of the current sound in the earpiece sound mode without increasing the difficulty of the structural design of the sound component 210, and does not affect the sensitivity and loudness of the speaker sound mode, which can improve the user experience; the sound structure of the terminal device is simple, which is conducive to improving the internal space utilization of the terminal device.

[0076] It should be noted that the sound component 210, the audio power amplifier 220, etc. in this embodiment can adopt the structure involved in the sound control method in any of the above embodiments.

[0077] In some embodiments, the sound control device further includes a speaker driving module 103, which is used to make the audio power amplifier 220 generate a second driving current and vibrate and sound in a balanced state. In this way, the diaphragm 211 is driven to be in a balanced state by the second driving current, and vibrates and sounds in a balanced state, ensuring that the sensitivity and loudness of the speaker sound mode are not affected.

[0078] It should be noted that the first driving current and the second driving current can be implemented by using the current magnitudes involved in the sound control method in any of the above embodiments.

[0079] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal device is provided, including a control component 100 and a sound-emitting device 200, the control component 100 is communicatively connected with the sound-emitting device 200, the control component 100 includes a memory 12 and a processor 11, the memory 12 stores a computer program, and when the processor 11 executes the computer program, it implements the sound control method as in any of the above embodiments.

[0080] When the terminal device is used, the computer program stored in the memory 12 is used, and the processor 11 is used to execute the computer program to implement the sound control method in any of the above embodiments, so that the sound component 210 can be controlled to switch between the speaker sound mode and the earpiece sound mode; and when the sound component 210 is in the earpiece sound mode, the audio power amplifier 220 generates a first driving current, and the diaphragm 211 of the sound component 210 is driven by the first driving current to be in a biased state, so that the diaphragm 211 is not easily affected by the external current, so that the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound component 210 is less than the electroacoustic conversion efficiency when the sound component 210 is in the speaker sound mode, and at the same time, the diaphragm 211 can vibrate and sound in the biased state through the first driving current to achieve earpiece sound. In this way, the terminal device can suppress the influence of the current sound in the earpiece sound mode without increasing the difficulty of the structural design of the sound component 210, and does not affect the sensitivity and loudness of the speaker sound mode, which can improve the user experience; the sound structure of the terminal device is simple, and the internal space utilization rate of the terminal device can be improved, which is conducive to the miniaturization development of the terminal device.

[0081] It should be noted that the control component 100 generally controls the overall operation of the terminal device, such as shutdown, startup, sound playback and switching, etc. The control component 100 includes control devices such as a programmable controller, a motion control card, and a microcomputer.

[0082] The terminal device includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer or other smart devices with pronunciation function.

[0083] In some embodiments, the control component 100 includes a control mainboard, so that the operation of the sound generating device 200 can be controlled by using the control mainboard of the terminal device.

[0084] In some embodiments, the control component 100 may include one or more processors 11 to execute instructions to complete all or part of the steps of the above method. The processor may be a microcontroller unit (MCU), a central processing unit (CPU) or a digital signal processor (DSP), etc.

[0085] In addition, the control component 100 also includes one or more modules to facilitate the interaction between the control component 100 and other components. For example, the control component 100 may include a multimedia module to facilitate the interaction between the user and the control component 100, such as a touch display screen.

[0086] In addition, the communication control means between the control component 100 and each actuator (such as the sound-generating device 200) and the feedback element (sensor, detection component, etc.) belongs to the traditional technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0087] The "communication connection" can be realized by wired communication technology or wireless communication technology, which is a traditional technology and will not be described in detail here. In addition, the communication connection between the above devices can be a direct communication connection or an indirect communication connection.

[0088] It should be noted that the memory 12 can be implemented by any type of volatile or non-volatile storage device or a combination thereof, such as static random access memory (SRAM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), read-only memory (ROM), magnetic storage, flash memory, magnetic disk or optical disk, etc.

[0089] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the sound-emitting device 200 includes a sound-emitting component 210 and an audio power amplifier 220. The sound-emitting component 210 has a speaker sound-emitting mode and an earpiece sound-emitting mode. The audio power amplifier 220 is connected to the control component 100 for communication, and is used to drive the sound-emitting component 210 to switch between the speaker sound-emitting mode and the earpiece sound-emitting mode. When the sound-emitting component 210 is in the earpiece sound-emitting mode, the audio power amplifier 220 can generate a first driving current. In this way, the control component 100 controls the audio power amplifier 220 to switch the sound-emitting component 210 between the speaker sound-emitting mode and the earpiece sound-emitting mode, and can generate a first driving current in the earpiece sound-emitting mode, so that the diaphragm 211 is in a biased state, and vibrates and sounds in the biased state.

[0090] Furthermore, if Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the sound-emitting component 210 includes a magnetic driver 212, and the magnetic driver 212 is spaced apart from the diaphragm 211. When the sound-emitting component 210 is in a non-use state or a speaker sounding mode, the diaphragm 211 and the magnetic driver 212 are in a balanced state; relative to the diaphragm 211 being in a balanced state, when the diaphragm 211 is in a biased state, the diaphragm 211 is arranged away from or close to the magnetic driver 212; the magnetic driver 212 includes a first magnet 201 and a magnetic ring 202 that is sleeved with the first magnet 201, and the magnetic ring 202 and the first magnet 201 are spaced apart to form a first gap; the sound-emitting component also includes a folding ring 213 and a voice coil 214 fixedly connected to the diaphragm 211, the voice coil 214 is movably arranged in the first gap, and the diaphragm 211 is fixedly connected to the magnetic ring 202 through the folding ring 213. In this way, the first driving current or the second driving current can cause the voice coil 214, the magnetic ring 202 and the first magnet 201 to vibrate up and down, so as to drive the diaphragm 211 to vibrate, and realize the sound of the sound-generating component 210. Under the first driving current, the diaphragm 211 is in a biased state, causing the folding ring 213 to be stretched or compressed, so that the diaphragm 211 is in a taut state, resulting in a decrease in the sensitivity of the diaphragm 211 and a decrease in the electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the sound-generating component 210.
