[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the sound-sensing immersive cinema sofa system, including: Sofa body 1: An audio unit 2 is integrated in the sofa body 1. The audio unit 2 includes a left-channel speaker 21, a left surround speaker 22, a subwoofer speaker 23, a center speaker 24, a right surround speaker 25, and a right-channel speaker 26. The left-channel speaker 21, the left surround speaker 22, the subwoofer speaker 23, the center speaker 24, the right surround speaker 25, and the right-channel speaker 26 are all installed on the frame of the sofa body 1 through brackets and screws. The speakers are cleverly integrated into the sofa design without additional space, making the home environment cleaner and more beautiful.

[0018] Transmitter box 3: The transmitter box 3 is used to decode Dolby / DTS audio signals and receive the TV ARC audio signal. The transmitter box 3 sends the audio to the built-in audio unit 2 of the sofa through a wireless transmission protocol. The transmitter box 3 includes a core processing module 31, an interface module 32, a wireless transmission module 33, a power management module 34, and a user interaction module 35. The core processing module 31 is responsible for decoding Dolby / DTS audio signals and processing the audio signals of the TV ARC. The interface module 32 provides diverse input / output interfaces to be compatible with the connection requirements of different devices. The wireless transmission module 33 transmits the audio to the sofa audio unit through a wireless protocol. The power management module 34 provides stable power supply for the transmitter box. The user interaction module 35 displays the connection status and switches the input source or adjusts the volume through physical buttons or a touch panel. Among them, the core processing module 31 includes an audio decoding sub-module 311 and an ARC signal backhaul sub-module 312. The audio decoding sub-module 311 supports the decoding of high-definition audio formats such as Dolby / DTS. The ARC signal backhaul sub-module 312 analyzes the audio signals sent by the TV through HDMI ARC.

[0019] The wifi signal is emitted through the wireless transmission module 33. The audio decoding sub-module 311 decodes Dolby and DTS movie signals at the same time. The ARC signal backhaul sub-module 312 backhauls the TV signal, and the audio is wirelessly delivered to the speakers installed inside the sofa through the transmission protocol of the wifi signal. The Dolby Atmos audio technology is adopted to bring a more immersive audio experience to users, making people feel as if they are on the scene and meeting the needs of users for high-quality music and movies.

[0020] Remote control 4: The remote control 4 is configured with a mode switching button and a volume adjustment module, which are used to control the decoding mode and audio output parameters of the transmitting box 3. With the fully wireless speaker and sofa integration solution, programs can be easily selected, the volume can be adjusted, and the audio tracks of the TV and mobile phone can be switched through the remote control, which is convenient and flexible.

[0021] In this embodiment, the transmitting box 3 transmits a wifi signal, decodes Dolby and DTS movie signals at the same time, and ARC returns the TV signal. The audio is wirelessly delivered to the speaker unit 2 installed inside the sofa body 1 through the transmission protocol of the wifi signal. After receiving the wireless audio signal, the speaker unit in the sofa body 1 restores the effect of the cinema, making the sofa become a home theater system.

[0022] As Figure 2 、 3 shown, the layout of the speaker unit 2 on the sofa body 1 and the routing of the power cord are as follows: The left-channel speaker 21 and the right-channel speaker 26 are symmetrically and embeddedly installed at the bottom of the armrest of the sofa body 1. The left surround speaker 22 and the right surround speaker 25 are symmetrically and embeddedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the sofa body 1. The subwoofer speaker 23 is embeddedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the sofa body 1 near the backrest. The center speaker 24 is embeddedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the sofa body 1 near the front edge of the seat.

[0023] The left / right channels are symmetrically embedded at the bottom of the sofa armrest, which can ensure that the horizontal diffusion range of the main sound field is aligned with the listening area. The left / right surrounds are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the sofa, forming a sense of enclosure for the immersive surround sound field, meeting the requirements of the 5.1-channel system for lateral sound source localization, surrounding the listener with the sound field. When the user is watching a movie or listening to music, they can feel the sound coming from all directions, as if they are in the movie scene, greatly enhancing the immersion. All speakers are embedded and hidden at the bottom of the sofa or the armrest, saving space and maintaining beauty. The subwoofer is centered to enhance the low-frequency resonance effect and avoid directional interference. The center is close to the front of the seat to ensure clear localization of the human voice dialogue.

[0024] The left-channel speaker 21 is connected to the left surround speaker 22 through a power cord. The left surround speaker 22 is connected to the subwoofer speaker 23 through a power cord. The left surround speaker 22 is connected to a power transfer socket through a power cord. The right-channel speaker 26 and the center speaker 24 are respectively connected to the right surround speaker 25 through a power cord. The right surround speaker 25 is connected to a power transfer socket through a power cord. The power cords are connected through the internal channels of the sofa, effectively avoiding the clutter of exposed wires on the ground. Connecting other units through the main nodes of the left surround speaker 22 and the right surround speaker 25 reduces the complexity of independent wiring. The two power transfer sockets are convenient for unified control and reduce the risk of multi-wire entanglement.

[0025] In addition, as Figure 5As shown, the interface module 32 of the transmission box 3 includes a USB upgrade jack 321, a control interface 322, a high-definition mode interface 323, a TV ARC jack 324, an optical fiber jack 325, an analog input 3.5 mm jack 326, and a DC input jack 327. As Figures 6-9 shown, the multiple interface designs support multiple connections such as TV connection, home theater connection, and OPTICAL fiber connection, etc., providing users with richer entertainment options.

[0026] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention; however, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and its improvement concept of the present invention, making equivalent replacements or changes, should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
