Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of earphones, and particularly relates to an earphone intelligent hands-free function control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the popularization of noise reduction earphones, users can enjoy music quietly in noisy environments. However, too strong a noise reduction scheme also brings new problems, such as being unable to hear the conversations of people around and other sounds in the environment. In order to solve this problem, some manufacturers have introduced an intelligent hands-free function (Speak-to-chat), that is, the microphone detects in real time whether the product wearer is speaking, and if it is detected that the wearer is speaking, the music being played will be paused or muted, and the voice of the conversation object will be obtained by the microphone, so that it is easier to hear.

[0003] However, the current intelligent hands-free function only performs voice detection and cannot well distinguish whether the speaker is the wearer or the voices of people around, etc. which may be activated, resulting in a high probability of false activation in some scenes with noisy voices. For example, in office, public transportation or shopping mall, etc. public scenes, there is a high probability of false activation. In order to reduce the probability of false activation and improve the recognition rate of the wearer speaking, one method is to use the speaker's voiceprint information, but this method requires the user to configure the voiceprint information in advance, and if the voiceprint information is not recorded in advance when the user changes the earphone, the intelligent hands-free function will be disabled, resulting in poor user experience. SUMMARY

[0007] ​​Set two elements in the right ear microphone array in the earphone as right ear smart lift-free elements, and the two right ear smart lift-free elements constitute a right ear microphone array; when the earphone receives a signal, right ear microphone array data is obtained X R (n)=[ x R, 1 (n), x R,2 (n)] , represents the receiving data of one right ear smart lift-free element at the moment, represents the receiving data of another right ear smart lift-free element at the moment.

[0008] Step (2) offsets the left ear microphone array data X L =[ x L, 1 (n), x L,2 (n)] The left side delay result is obtained through offset search ; Specifically:

[0010] The covariance matrix about the incident angle is calculated , the eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix is performed, two eigenvalues and corresponding two eigenvectors are obtained, the two eigenvalues are sorted from large to small, and the corresponding two eigenvectors constitute a matrix U L = [ u L, 1 , u L,2 ] , is the eigenvector corresponding to the large eigenvalue, For the eigenvector corresponding to the small eigenvalue, the superscript represents the conjugate transpose;

[0011] The incident angle is within , the calculation cost , the maximum cost The incident angle corresponding to the value is the target incident angle , and the target delay .

[0012] For the right earphone array data X R =[ x R, 1 (n), x R,2 (n)] The right delay result is obtained by offset search , and the method is the same as that of the left delay result.

[0013] Step (3) determines the delay activation range of the left earphone array [τ L−low , τ L−high ] and the delay activation range of the right earphone array [τ R−low , τ R−high ] When and , the intelligent hands-free function of the earphone is activated.

[0014] A sphere with a radius of is set, ; , ; wherein the set parameter , , is the arc length of the circle with a central angle of , and the central angle is set.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the intelligent hands-free function is realized by the delay uniqueness and certainty of the wearer's voice reaching the left earphone array and the right earphone array, the misactivation of the surrounding human voice can be effectively avoided, and the voiceprint information of the wearer is not required, and better earphone use experience can be achieved.
