[0065] In order to make the purpose, implementation mode and advantages of the present application clearer, the exemplary implementation mode of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0066] It should be noted that the brief description of terms in this application is only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their common and usual meanings.

[0067] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0068] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device comprising a list of components is not necessarily limited to those components expressly listed but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such products or devices.

[0069] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) involved in this application are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards, and provide corresponding operation entrances for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0070] With the development of technology, more and more people use video conferencing to hold meetings. In video conferencing, in order to highlight the conference speaker on the big screen, the conference speaker needs to be located.

[0071] In the prior art, the positioning of conference speakers is usually carried out in a small conference room scenario by the audio and video module in the display device. The microphone array in the audio and video module collects sound signals for processing, obtains the relative angle between the conference speaker and the real device, and completes the positioning.

[0072] For example, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a small conference room scenario provided for this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, in a small conference room scenario, the display device includes a display screen 11 and an audio and video module 12, and a conference user 13 sits in front of the display device for a video conference. When a user speaks, the audio and video module 12 performs positioning according to the acquired audio signal.

[0073] However, in larger conference room scenarios, because the distance between some conference speaking users and the microphone may exceed the effective pickup distance of the microphone array, the existing positioning methods are not suitable for larger conference room scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a conference speaking user positioning system and method that can achieve positioning in larger conference room scenarios.

[0074] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the inventors discovered during the study of the conference speaking user positioning method that in order to be able to achieve positioning in a larger conference room scenario, it can be achieved through a conference speaking user positioning system. The conference speaking user positioning system includes a display device and multiple first microphone arrays. The distance between the first microphone array and the display device is greater than or equal to the effective pickup distance of the second microphone array in the audio and video module in the display device.

[0075] The audio and video module determines to use different setting modes for positioning based on the volume of the first audio signal collected by the second microphone array. When the volume is low, it means that the speaking user is far away from the display device, and positioning is performed based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal collected by the first microphone array.

[0076] When the volume is high, it means that the speaking user is close to the display device, and the user is positioned according to the first audio signal. The positioning of the user who speaks at the conference can be realized in a large conference room. Based on the above invention concept, the conference speaking user positioning solution in this application is designed.

[0077] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0078] For example, Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the architecture of the conference speech user positioning system provided for this application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the conference speaking user positioning system includes a display device 21 and a plurality of microphone arrays 22. Each microphone array 22 is composed of a plurality of microphones.

[0079] The display device 21 includes an audio and video module 23, a processor 24 and a display screen 25. The audio and video module 23 is connected to the processor 24 and each first microphone array 22 respectively.

[0080] The audio and video module 23 includes a second microphone array, a wide-angle camera 26 and a telephoto camera 27 , and the second microphone array is composed of multiple microphones 28 .

[0081] The distance between the first microphone array 22 and the display device 21 is greater than or equal to the effective sound pickup distance of the second microphone array.

[0082] It should be noted that the connection method between each first microphone array 22 and the audio and video module 23 can be a wired connection or a wireless connection. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method between the first microphone array 22 and the audio and video module 23, and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0083] For example, Figure 3 The application scenario diagram of the conference speech user positioning system provided for this application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the conference speaking user positioning system is applied in a larger conference room scenario, and the first microphone array 22 is installed in the conference room at a distance from the display device, so that the distance between the first microphone array 22 and the display device is greater than or equal to the effective pickup distance of the second microphone array.

[0084] When the user speaks, the audio and video module 23 collects audio signals according to the first microphone array and the second microphone array 22, and then performs positioning according to the audio signals.

[0085] The audio and video module 23 captures images through a wide-angle camera or a telephoto camera according to the positioning data, and then intercepts and obtains the image of the user speaking at the conference and sends it to the processor, which controls the display screen 25 to display the image.

[0086] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of the conference speaking user positioning method provided in this application. The executor of the method is a display device. The method in this embodiment can be implemented by software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, the audio and video module in the display device is configured to perform the following steps:

[0088] S401: Collect a first audio signal through the second microphone array, and collect a second audio signal through the first microphone array.

[0089] After the display device is started, the user conducts a video conference through the display device, the audio and video module in the display device locates the user speaking in the conference, the audio and video module collects the first audio signal through the second microphone array, and collects the second audio signal through the first microphone array.

[0090] S402: Determine whether the volume of the first audio signal is less than a first preset volume threshold. If the volume of the first audio signal is less than the first preset volume threshold, execute step S403; if the volume of the first audio signal is greater than or equal to the first preset volume threshold, execute step S404.

[0091] After the audio and video module collects the first audio signal, it determines whether the volume of the first audio signal is less than a first preset volume threshold to determine the distance between the conference speaking user and the display device.

[0092] It should be noted that the first preset volume threshold may be 40 decibels, 50 decibels, 70 decibels, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the first preset volume threshold and may be set according to actual conditions.

[0093] It should be noted that before the audio and video module makes a judgment, it can also detect the first audio signal to determine whether human voice is collected. When it is determined that human voice is collected, it is determined whether the volume of the first audio signal is less than the first preset volume threshold; when it is determined that human voice is not collected, the judgment process is not performed and the first audio signal continues to be collected.

[0094] S403: Adopting the first setting mode, determining the location data of the user who speaks at the conference.

[0095] When the volume of the first audio signal is less than the first preset volume threshold, it means that the distance between the conference speaking user and the display device is far. For more accurate positioning, the audio and video module adopts the first setting mode to determine the position data of the conference speaking user based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal.

[0096] S404: Adopting the second setting mode, determining the location data of the user who speaks at the conference.

[0097] When the volume of the first audio signal is greater than or equal to the first preset volume threshold, it indicates that the distance between the conference speaking user and the display device is relatively close. The audio and video module adopts the second setting mode to determine the position data of the conference speaking user according to the first audio signal.

[0098] Specifically, according to the volume of the first audio signal at multiple preset angles, the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device is determined to obtain the position data of the conference speaking user.

[0099] That is, the preset angle at which the volume of the first audio signal at a plurality of preset angles is the largest is used as the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device to obtain the position data of the conference speaking user.

[0100] For example, Figure 5 The preset angle diagram provided for this application is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, within the 180° range in front of the display device, a preset angle is set at intervals of 5°. The preset angles can also be set at intervals of 1°, 10°, etc. The preset angles are not limited in the present embodiment and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0101] The conference speaking user positioning system provided in this embodiment includes a display device and multiple first microphone arrays, and the distance between the first microphone array and the display device is greater than the effective sound pickup distance of the second microphone array in the display device. When the volume of the first audio signal collected by the second microphone array in the display device is less than the first preset volume threshold, the audio and video module in the display device uses the first setting mode to determine the position data of the conference speaking user based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal collected by the first microphone array; when the volume of the first audio signal is greater than or equal to the first preset volume threshold, the second setting mode is used to determine the position data based on the first audio signal. This solution uses two microphone arrays and positioning based on the volume of the first audio signal to achieve positioning in a larger conference room scene.

[0102] Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the embodiments of the present application illustrate the situation where the audio and video module adopts the first setting mode to determine the location data of the user who speaks at the conference. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a process for determining the location data of a conference speaking user provided in this application, wherein the audio and video module in the display device is configured to perform the following steps:

[0103] S601: Determine a target angle range according to the volume of a first audio signal at multiple preset angles.

[0104] When the volume of the first audio signal is less than the first preset volume threshold, the first setting mode is adopted to determine the position data of the conference speaking user. The audio and video module determines the target angle range according to the volume of the first audio signal at multiple preset angles.

[0105] Specifically, the audio and video module determines a target volume greater than a second preset volume threshold from the volumes of the first audio signal at multiple preset angles.

[0106] It should be noted that the second preset volume threshold is smaller than the first preset volume threshold. The second preset volume threshold may be 20 decibels, 30 decibels, 50 decibels, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the second preset volume threshold and may be set according to actual conditions.

[0107] The audio and video module generates a target angle range according to the minimum angle and the maximum angle among the preset angles corresponding to the target volume.

[0108] Exemplarily, the target volume is 45 decibels, 50 decibels, 52 decibels, 57 decibels, and 60 decibels, the angle corresponding to 45 decibels is 30°, the angle corresponding to 45 decibels is 45°, the angle corresponding to 50 decibels is 32°, the angle corresponding to 52 decibels is 35°, the angle corresponding to 57 decibels is 40°, and the angle corresponding to 60 decibels is 37°.

[0109] The minimum angle of the preset angles corresponding to the target volume is 30°, and the maximum angle is 45°, so 30°-45° is used as the target angle range.

[0110] S602: Determine, from the plurality of first microphone arrays, a candidate microphone array located within a target angle range according to preset position data of the plurality of first microphone arrays relative to the display device.

[0111] After the audio and video module determines the target angle range, since the audio and video module stores the preset position data of each first microphone array relative to the display device, including the angle of the first microphone array relative to the display device, the selected microphone array within the target angle range can be determined from multiple first microphone arrays based on the preset position data.

[0112] For example, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the relative positions of the first microphone array and the display device provided in this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the distance between the first microphone array and the display device is greater than or equal to the effective sound pickup distance of the second microphone array.

[0113] In the figure, 30°-45° is used as the target angle range, and the black first microphone array represents the microphone array to be selected.

[0114] S603: Determine a target microphone array from the microphone arrays to be selected according to the volume of the second audio signal corresponding to the microphone arrays to be selected.

[0115] After the audio and video module determines the microphone arrays to be selected, it is also necessary to determine the target microphone array closest to the conference speaker. The target microphone array is determined from the microphone arrays to be selected according to the volume of the second audio signal corresponding to the microphone arrays to be selected.

[0116] The microphone array corresponding to the second audio signal with the loudest volume among the microphone arrays to be selected is used as the target microphone array.

[0117] It should be noted that, if there are multiple microphone arrays corresponding to the second audio signal with the highest volume among the microphone arrays to be selected, one microphone array may be randomly selected as the target microphone array.

[0118] S604: Determine an intermediate angle of the conference speaking user relative to the target microphone array according to the volume of the second audio signal corresponding to the target microphone array at multiple preset angles.

[0119] After the audio and video module determines the target microphone array, the preset angle with the largest volume among the volumes of the second audio signal corresponding to the target microphone array at multiple preset angles is used as the middle angle of the conference speaking user relative to the target microphone array.

[0120] S605: Determine the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device based on the preset position data of the target microphone array relative to the display device, the intermediate angle, and the preset position data of the user's fixed position relative to the target microphone array, and obtain the position data of the conference speaking user.

[0121] After the audio and video module obtains the middle angle of the conference speaking user relative to the target microphone array, it determines the distance between the conference speaking user and the target microphone array based on the middle angle and the preset position data of the user's fixed position relative to the target microphone array.

[0122] Because after the first microphone array is installed, the position of each first microphone array is fixed, and the position of the conference user is also fixed, the preset position data of the user's fixed position relative to the first microphone array can be determined and stored in the audio and video module.

[0123] The preset position data of the user's fixed position relative to the first microphone array includes the angle and distance of the user's fixed position relative to the first microphone array. Therefore, in the preset position data of the user's fixed position relative to the target microphone array, the preset position data including the intermediate angle can be found, and then the distance therein can be found to obtain the distance between the conference speaking user and the target microphone array.

[0124] According to the preset position data of the target microphone array relative to the display device, the intermediate angle, and the distance between the conference speaking user and the target microphone array, the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device is determined to obtain the position data of the conference speaking user.

[0125] For example, Figure 8 A schematic diagram for determining the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device provided by this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the angle of the target microphone array relative to the display device is α, the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device is β, and combined with the distance m between the conference speaking user and the target microphone array, the angle γ of the conference speaking user relative to the display device can be obtained.

[0126] The conference speaking user positioning system provided in this embodiment adopts a first setting mode to determine the target microphone array closest to the conference speaking user when the volume of the first audio signal is less than a first preset volume threshold, and then determines the middle angle of the conference speaking user relative to the target microphone array. Then, the position data of the conference speaking user is determined by combining the preset position data of the target microphone array relative to the shown device and the preset position data of the user's fixed position relative to the target microphone array, thereby improving the accuracy of the position data of the conference speaking user.

[0127] Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the embodiments of the present application illustrate the situation in which the audio and video module determines the image of the user who speaks at the conference and the display screen displays the image. Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of a process for displaying an image of a user speaking at a conference provided by the present application, wherein the audio and video module in the display device is configured to perform the following steps:

[0128] S901: Acquire a conference image according to a result of determining whether the volume of a first audio signal is less than a first preset volume threshold.

[0129] After the audio and video module obtains the location data of the user speaking at the conference, it can also highlight the image of the user speaking at the conference to improve the conference effect.

[0130] The conference image is acquired according to a determination result of whether the volume of the first audio signal is less than a first preset volume threshold.

[0131] When the volume of the first audio signal is less than the first preset volume threshold, it means that the conference speaking user is far away from the display device, and the image taken by the telephoto lens in the audio and video module at a farther distance is clearer, so the conference image is obtained through the telephoto camera.

[0132] When the volume of the first audio signal is greater than or equal to the first preset volume threshold, it means that the conference speaking user is close to the display device, and the image taken by the wide-angle lens in the audio and video module at a closer distance is clearer, so the conference image is obtained through the wide-angle camera.

[0133] S902: Obtain an image of the user who spoke at the conference based on the conference image and the location data of the user who spoke at the conference.

[0134] After the audio and video module obtains the conference image, it obtains the image of the conference speaking user based on the conference image and the location data of the conference speaking user.

[0135] The conference image can be divided into multiple images, each image corresponding to the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device.

[0136] For example, Fig.10The conference image division diagram provided for this application is as follows: Fig.10 As shown, the conference image is divided into 18 parts, from left to right, the first part corresponds to 10°, the second part corresponds to 20°, and so on.

[0137] Therefore, an image of the position corresponding to the position data of the conference speaking user is captured from the conference image, that is, an image of the position corresponding to the angle of the conference speaking user relative to the display device, to obtain the image of the conference speaking user.

[0138] The processor in the display device is configured to control the display screen in the display device to display the image of the user who speaks at the conference.

[0139] The conference speaker positioning system provided in this embodiment obtains the position data of the conference speaker, and the audio and video module obtains the conference image through the telephoto camera or the wide-angle camera, and then determines the image of the conference speaker according to the position data of the conference speaker. Then, the processor in the display device controls the display screen to display the image of the conference speaker, so as to highlight the conference speaker, improve the clarity of the image, and improve the conference effect.

[0140] In this application, a method for locating a conference speaking user is also provided, and the steps may be:

[0141] The first audio signal is collected through the second microphone array, and the second audio signal is collected through the first microphone array.

[0142] It is determined whether the volume of the first audio signal is less than a first preset volume threshold.

[0143] If the volume of the first audio signal is less than the first preset volume threshold, the first setting mode is adopted to determine the position data of the conference speaking user.

[0144] If the volume of the first audio signal is greater than or equal to the first preset volume threshold, the second setting mode is adopted to determine the position data of the conference speaking user.
