[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, an intelligent control method for an audio device of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0028] Obtain the temperature inside the earcup of the headset, determine whether the temperature inside the earcup is within the range of a preset temperature adjustment value, and control the air extraction module 1 to adjust the temperature inside the earcup of the headset according to the adjustment rule of the preset temperature;
[0029] Obtain the environment where the headset is located, and adjust the playback mode of the headset according to different environments;
[0030] Obtain the sound of people or objects in the environment where the headset is located, determine whether there are preset keywords and sounds, and give a prompt to the user of the headset according to the preset prompt information;
[0031] Obtain the distance between people or objects in the environment where the headset is located and the user of the headset, determine whether it is within the preset distance range, and give a prompt to the user of the headset according to the preset distance range.
[0032] Automatic temperature adjustment is realized. By obtaining the temperature inside the earcup of the headset and controlling the air extraction module 1 according to the preset temperature adjustment rule, the temperature inside the earcup can be effectively adjusted, avoiding discomfort of the user due to long-term use of the headset and improving the wearing comfort.
[0033] Environment adaptive playback mode is realized. By obtaining the environment where the headset is located, the playback mode of the headset is automatically adjusted to ensure that the user can obtain the best sound effect experience in different environments and improve the user's satisfaction.
[0034] Keyword and voice recognition are implemented. By obtaining the sounds of people or objects in the environment where the earphones are located, it is determined whether there are preset keywords and sounds, and the user is prompted according to the preset prompt information to help the user obtain important information in a timely manner and improve the intelligence level of the earphones.
[0035] Distance perception and prompting are implemented. By obtaining the distance between people or objects in the environment where the earphones are located and the user, it is determined whether it is within the preset distance range, and the user is prompted according to the preset distance range to enhance the user's sense of security and usage experience.
[0036] During use, the temperature inside the earcup is monitored in real time through a temperature sensor. When the temperature exceeds the preset range, the air extraction module 1 is controlled to cool down to ensure that the temperature inside the earcup is always within a comfortable range.
[0037] The environment where the earphones are located is identified through an environment sensor (such as indoor, outdoor, noisy environment, etc.), and the playback mode of the earphones (such as noise reduction mode, transparency mode, etc.) is automatically adjusted according to the environment type to meet the needs of the user in different environments.
[0038] The sounds in the surrounding environment are captured through a microphone array, and voice recognition technology is used to determine whether there are preset keywords or sounds, and a prompt message is sent to the user through the earphones to help the user obtain important information in a timely manner.
[0039] The distance between the surrounding people or objects and the user is monitored in real time through devices such as a distance sensor or a camera. When the distance exceeds or is lower than the preset range, a prompt is sent to the user through the earphones to enhance the user's sense of security.
[0040] Through the above intelligent control method, the earphones can realize functions such as automatic temperature adjustment inside the earcup, environment adaption, sound recognition, and distance perception, significantly improving the user's wearing comfort and usage experience.
[0041] As Figure 2 shown, the range of the preset temperature adjustment value in this embodiment is ≥25°C. The air extraction module 1 includes a radiator 11, a heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13, and an air extraction pump 14. A heat exchange channel 15 is provided inside the heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13. The radiator 11 is used to cool down the heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13 so that the temperature of the heat exchange channel 15 decreases. The air extraction pump 14 is connected to the inside of the earcup to extract the air inside the earcup, so that the external air enters the inside of the earcup through the heat exchange channel 15;
[0042] The adjustment rule of the preset temperature is:
[0043] When the temperature outside the earphone is 25°C - 30°C, control the air extraction pump 14 to extract air from the inside of the earphone earcup, so that the outside air enters the inside of the earphone earcup through the heat exchange channel 15 of the heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13;
[0044] When the temperature outside the earphone is 30°C, control the radiator 11 and the air extraction pump 14 to work simultaneously. The radiator 11 cools down the heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13, so that the outside air exchanges heat with the heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13 and then enters the inside of the earphone earcup through the heat exchange channel 15.
[0045] Automatic temperature adjustment is realized, improving the wearing comfort. By real-time monitoring the temperature inside the earphone earcup and dynamically adjusting the working states of the air extraction module 1 and the radiator 11 according to the external environmental temperature, the temperature inside the earcup can be effectively reduced, avoiding the user feeling stuffy and uncomfortable due to long-term wearing of the earphone, and significantly improving the wearing comfort.
[0046] Energy conservation and environmental protection are realized, and energy consumption is optimized. According to different external environmental temperatures, the working modes of the air extraction pump 14 and the radiator 11 are intelligently controlled to work alone or cooperatively, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and achieving the effect of energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0047] Air circulation is realized, improving the ear environment. By using the air extraction pump 14 to extract the air inside the earcup and introducing the outside air that has exchanged heat, the air circulation inside the earcup can be improved, reducing the accumulation of moisture and odor, and further enhancing the user's wearing experience.
[0048] Among them, the heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13 is usually made of aluminum alloy or thermally conductive plastic, because these materials have the advantages of lightweight and low cost while meeting the heat conduction requirements. If higher thermal conductivity is required, copper or graphite materials may be used, but the cost and weight need to be weighed.
[0049] The radiator is a fan or a liquid cooling system. In this embodiment, the radiator is taken as an example of a fan. The fan is used to force air flow and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0050] As Figure 2 shown, an installation part 131 is arranged outside the heat dissipation and heat conduction member 13 of this embodiment, and the radiator 11 is fixed to the installation part 131;
[0051] As Figure 3 shown, a first sound absorption cavity 151, a second sound absorption cavity 152, a heat exchange cavity 153 and an active noise cancellation cavity 154 are arranged inside the heat exchange channel 15.
[0052] The inner wall of the first sound absorption cavity 151 is set to be rough to absorb the noise generated by the airflow vibration. By frictional and absorption of the noise generated by the airflow vibration, high-frequency noise is reduced.
[0053] A plurality of air baffle columns 1521 for dispersing air flow are arranged inside the second sound absorption cavity 152. By arranging a plurality of air baffle columns 1521 inside, the air flow is dispersed and the air flow speed is reduced, thereby reducing turbulent noise.
[0054] A plurality of heat exchange heat conducting sheets 1531 are arranged inside the heat exchange cavity 153. External air enters the inside of the headphone earcup through the heat exchange channel 15, and the heat exchange heat conducting sheets 1531 inside the heat exchange cavity 153 exchange heat with the air to reduce the air temperature.
[0055] A first sound collecting microphone 155 and an active noise reduction speaker 156 are arranged inside the active noise cancellation cavity 154. The noise inside the active noise cancellation cavity 154 is acquired through the first sound collecting microphone 155, and the active noise reduction speaker 156 is controlled according to the noise inside the active noise cancellation cavity 154 to generate a reverse sound wave to cancel the noise. The noise is cancelled through sound wave interference to achieve the active noise reduction effect.
[0056] The outlet of the heat exchange channel 15 is arranged at the part corresponding to the back of the user's ear inside the headphone earcup.
[0057] The external air is introduced through the heat exchange channel 15 to dissipate heat from the skin around the back of the ear and adjust the temperature inside the headphone earcup. The cold air acts directly on the skin of the back of the ear to achieve efficient heat dissipation.
[0058] Efficient heat dissipation and temperature adjustment are achieved. The external air is introduced into the inside of the headphone earcup through the heat exchange channel 15 to directly dissipate heat from the skin around the back of the user's ear, effectively reducing the temperature inside the earcup and improving the wearing comfort. The heat exchange heat conducting sheets 1531 inside the heat exchange cavity 153 further enhance the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the heat dissipation heat conducting member 13 to ensure the heat dissipation effect.
[0059] Noise control and noise reduction are achieved. First is passive noise reduction. Specifically, the noise generated by the vibration of the air flow is absorbed by the rough inner wall of the first sound absorption cavity 151, and the air baffle columns 1521 inside the second sound absorption cavity 152 disperse the air flow to reduce the air flow noise. Then is active noise reduction. Through the first sound collecting microphone 155 and the active noise reduction speaker 156 inside the active noise cancellation cavity 154, the noise is detected and a reverse sound wave is generated in real time to cancel the noise, further enhancing the user's auditory experience.
[0060] Air flow optimization and comfort are achieved. The design of the heat exchange channel 15 not only realizes the heat dissipation function, but also optimizes the air flow through the sound absorption cavity and the air baffle columns 1521, reducing the air flow noise and discomfort. The outlet of the heat exchange channel 15 is located at the back of the ear part, directly dissipating heat from the skin of the back of the ear, avoiding the stuffy feeling caused by too high temperature inside the earcup.
[0061] It realizes multi-functional integration and intelligence, integrating functions such as heat dissipation, noise reduction, and airflow optimization, and achieving intelligent control of the headphones. Through active noise reduction technology, it can adjust the noise reduction effect in real time according to environmental noise, enhancing the user experience.
[0062] As Figure 2 shown, at the inner edge of the earcup of the headphones in this embodiment, there is a sound-absorbing material 2 for sealing the earcup. The sound-absorbing material 2 is provided with a ventilation channel 21. The air extraction pump 14 is arranged outside the ventilation channel 21. (Preferably, the outer shell of the air extraction pump 14 is provided with a buffer structure. The air extraction pump 14 is fixed to the earcup through the buffer structure and connected to the ventilation channel 21 to adjust the temperature inside the earcup. The buffer structure of the air extraction pump 14 reduces vibration transmission and further improves wearing comfort.
[0063] A sound-insulating and breathable membrane is arranged between the ventilation channel 21 and the air extraction pump 14 to reduce external noise from entering the inside of the ventilation channel 21, enhancing the noise reduction effect. It further blocks the noise during the operation of the air extraction pump 14 to ensure that users enjoy a pure music experience.)
[0064] Among them, the sound-absorbing material 2 can be porous foam material, micro-perforated material or aerogel material.
[0065] As Figure 2 shown, specifically, the ventilation channel 21 includes a first channel 22 provided in the outer shell of the headphones and a second channel 23 provided at one end of the sound-absorbing material 2. The first channel 22 and the second channel 23 are slidably connected. The air extraction pump 14 is arranged on the outer shell of the headphones and connected to the first channel 22. When the air extraction pump 14 works, the air inside the earcup of the headphones enters the second channel 23 and the first channel 22 through the ventilation channel 21 and is discharged out through the air extraction pump 14. By pulling the sound-absorbing material 2, the second channel 23 can slide along the first channel 22, increasing the internal space of the earcup of the headphones, facilitating the user to adjust the distance between the ear and the headphone speaker. It adapts to different ear shapes and personal preferences of users. By adjusting the distance between the ear and the speaker, the user can optimize the sound propagation effect and enhance the sound quality experience.
[0066] Both the first channel 22 and the second channel 23 are provided with sealing rings 24 to increase the sliding tightness between the first channel 22 and the second channel 23, prevent air leakage, and ensure the airflow efficiency of the ventilation channel. The sealing ring 24 not only improves the tightness but also provides a certain damping effect during the sliding process, making the pulling of the sound-absorbing material smoother and avoiding loosening or shaking during the sliding process. At the same time, it can also reduce the conduction of external noise into the inside of the earcup of the headphones and affect the sound listening effect. And the sealing ring 24 plays a role in limiting the first channel 22 and the second channel 23 to keep the first channel 22 and the second channel 23 connected.
[0067] As shown Figure 4 in the figure, a plurality of limiting blocks 25 are arranged in the first channel 22. A sliding groove 251 is formed between the longitudinal limiting blocks 25, and a limiting groove 252 is formed between the transverse limiting blocks 25. A locking block 26 is arranged on the outer wall of the second channel 23. Pulling the sound-absorbing material 2 to slide the locking block 26 along the sliding groove 251 can adjust the axial position between the first channel 22 and the second channel 23. Rotating the sound-absorbing material 2 to make the locking block 26 of the second channel 23 engage with the limiting groove 252 can lock the positions between the first channel 22 and the second channel 23, confirm the stable connection relationship between the first channel 22 and the second channel 23, and facilitate the user to lock the connection state of the first channel 22 and the second channel 23.
[0068] Dynamically control the working power of the air pump 14 by dividing the spectrum of the song played by the earphone into four parts: prelude, verse, chorus, bridge and coda;
[0069] The formula for judging the song part is:
[0070] where E(t) is the energy at time t; fc(t) is the spectral centroid frequency at time t; B(t) is the spectral bandwidth at time t; R(t) is the beat intensity at time t;
[0071] E max 、f max 、B max 、R max are respectively the maximum values of the energy, centroid frequency, bandwidth and beat intensity of the spectrum;
[0072] α, β, γ, δ are weight coefficients, and α + β + γ + δ = 1;
[0073] If S(t) < T intro , it is judged as the prelude;
[0074] If T intro ≤ S(t) < T verse , it is judged as the verse;
[0075] If T verse ≤ S(t) < T chorus , it is judged as the chorus;
[0076] If T chorus ≤ S(t) < T bridge , it is judged as the bridge;
[0077] If S(t) ≥ T bridge , it is judged as the coda;
[0078] T intro 、T verse 、Tchorus , T bridge and T are both status judgment thresholds. Specifically, T intro = 0.3, T verse = 0.5,
[0079] T chorus = 0.7, T bridge = 0.9;
[0080] P min and P max are the minimum and maximum powers of the air extraction pump 14 respectively. The intro, bridge, and coda use the minimum power P min , and the verses and choruses use the higher power P max ;
[0081] The formula for the power P(t) is:
[0082]
[0083] Dynamic heat dissipation and energy-saving optimization are achieved. By dividing the spectrum of the song into four parts: intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and coda, the working power of the air extraction pump 14 is dynamically adjusted to achieve intelligent heat dissipation control. In the low-energy parts (such as the intro, bridge, and coda), the air extraction pump 14 works at the minimum power, and in the high-energy parts (such as the verses and choruses), the air extraction pump 14 works at a higher power, which not only ensures the heat dissipation effect but also reduces energy consumption. At the same time, the noise generated by the operation of the air extraction pump 14 during song playback is also reduced.
[0084] Noise reduction and sound insulation effects are achieved. The design of the sound-absorbing material 2 and the sound-insulating and breathable membrane effectively reduces the entry of external noise into the earphone, improving the noise reduction effect. The sound-insulating and breathable membrane between the air passage 21 and the air extraction pump 14 further blocks the noise generated during the operation of the air extraction pump 14, ensuring that users enjoy a pure music experience.
[0085] Improved wearing comfort is achieved. The sound-absorbing material 2 not only seals the earcup but also enables air circulation through the air passage 21, avoiding stuffiness and dampness inside the earcup.
[0086] Intelligent music perception and control are achieved. By analyzing the spectrum in real time, different parts of the song, namely the intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and coda, are judged, and the power of the air extraction pump 14 is dynamically adjusted according to the energy, spectral centroid frequency, bandwidth, and beat intensity of the music, realizing intelligent control.
[0087] The formula for calculating the energy E(t) of the spectral signal of this embodiment at time t is:
[0088]
[0089] where x i(t) is the i-th sampling point of the spectral signal at time t, and N is the number of sampling points within the window; the audio signal undergoes short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to obtain the spectrum S(f, t), which is used to calculate the center frequency f of the audio c (t), and the formula for calculating the center frequency f c (t) is:
[0090]
[0091] The formula for calculating the bandwidth B(t) of the spectrum is:
[0092]
[0093] The formula for calculating the beat intensity R(t) of the spectral signal is:
[0094] R(t) = beat detection algorithm (x(t)). (Specifically, an energy-based or spectrum-based beat detection algorithm can be used.)
[0095] Through the calculation of the energy, center frequency, bandwidth, and beat intensity of the spectral signal, accurate analysis and intelligent control of the audio signal are achieved. The intelligent level and user experience of audio devices are improved, and at the same time, efficient energy consumption management and multi-functional integration are realized.
[0096] Assume: α = 0.4, β = 0.3, γ = 0.2, δ = 0.1;
[0097] E max = 100, f max = 5000Hz, B max = 2000Hz,, R max = 10;
[0098] T intro = 0.3, T verse = 0.5, T chorus = 0.7, T bridge = 0.9;
[0099] P min = 1W, P max = 5W.
[0100] For example,
[0101] E(t) = 20, f c (t) = 1000Hz, B(t) = 500Hz, R(t) = 2.
[0102] Substitute into the formula to calculate S(t) = 0.21;
[0103] Judge: S(t) < 0.3, belonging to the prelude.
[0104] Power of the vacuum pump (14): P(t)=1W.
[0105] For example,
[0106] E(t)=50,f c (t)=2000Hz, B(t)=1000Hz, R(t)=5.
[0107] Substituting into the formula to calculate S(t) = 0.47;
[0108] Judgment: 0.3≤S(t)<0.5, it belongs to the main song.
[0109] Power of the vacuum pump (14): P(t)=5W.
[0110] In this embodiment, the micro camera 3 is used to obtain an image of the environment in which the headset is located, and the type of environment is analyzed by image recognition technology to adjust the playback mode of the headset. The playback modes of the headset specifically include:
[0111] Office environment,
[0112] The camera can identify the features of desks, computers, and conference rooms, and control the headphones to turn on high-fidelity mode to provide a better sound quality experience.
[0113] At the same time, the microphone array is used to detect whether there are keyboard tapping sounds or conversation sound characteristics. If one of the above characteristics is met, the active noise reduction speaker 156 is controlled to turn on mild noise reduction to save power.
[0114] Street environment,
[0115] The camera is used to identify the characteristics of pedestrians, vehicles, and traffic lights to meet one of the above characteristics. At the same time, the microphone array is used to collect the ambient sound of the user's environment, and the ambient sound is split into distant ambient sound and surrounding ambient sound. Specifically, the distant ambient sound and surrounding ambient sound are separated through sound source positioning and beamforming technology.
[0116] The distant ambient sound is focused on the distant sound source (such as traffic noise) through beamforming technology, and the low-frequency noise is extracted using filtering algorithms (such as low-pass filtering).
[0117] The ambient sound around you is focused on nearby sound sources (such as pedestrian footsteps and vehicle horns) through beamforming technology, and mid- and high-frequency sounds are extracted using filtering algorithms (such as bandpass filtering).
[0118] The active noise reduction speaker 156 is controlled to start strong noise reduction, filter out distant traffic noise, and play the surrounding ambient sound through the active noise reduction speaker 156 to ensure that the user is aware of the environment in which he is located.
[0119] Specifically, image recognition technology uses deep learning or computer vision algorithms to identify features in the environment (such as desks, computers, pedestrians, vehicles, etc.) and determine the type of environment (such as offices, streets).
[0120] It realizes intelligent environmental perception and playback mode adjustment. Through a micro camera and image recognition technology, it can identify the type of environment where the earphones are located in real time (such as offices, streets, etc.), and automatically adjust the playback mode according to environmental characteristics, enhancing the user experience.
[0121] In an office environment, the high-fidelity mode and mild noise reduction are enabled, providing high-quality sound while saving power.
[0122] In a street environment, strong noise reduction is enabled and the surrounding environmental sounds are played, ensuring that users can perceive the surrounding environment while filtering out distant noises, improving safety.
[0123] It realizes precise noise reduction and sound effect optimization. By detecting environmental sound characteristics (such as keyboard typing sounds, conversations, traffic noises, etc.) through a microphone array, precise noise reduction is achieved.
[0124] In an office environment, the mild noise reduction mode saves power; in a street environment, the strong noise reduction mode filters out distant traffic noises and plays the surrounding environmental sounds at the same time, ensuring user safety.
[0125] It realizes the balance between energy conservation and high efficiency. The noise reduction intensity is dynamically adjusted according to the environmental type and sound characteristics, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and extending the battery life of the earphones. Mild noise reduction is adopted in a low-noise environment (such as an office), and strong noise reduction is adopted in a high-noise environment (such as a street) to achieve the balance between energy conservation and performance.
[0126] It realizes environmental perception and safety improvement; in a street environment, by playing the surrounding environmental sounds (such as pedestrian and vehicle sounds), it ensures that users can perceive the surrounding environment and avoid potential dangers caused by complete noise reduction. By combining image recognition and sound analysis, more comprehensive environmental perception capabilities are provided.
[0127] The specific method for obtaining the sounds of people or objects in the environment where the earphones are located in this embodiment, judging whether there are preset keywords and sounds, and giving prompts to the users of the earphones according to the preset prompt information includes:
[0128] Presetting keywords and preset sounds;
[0129] Collecting environmental sounds. The environmental sounds are collected through a microphone.
