[0104] 2) Apply the Voronoi diagram segmentation algorithm to divide the priority radiation area for each user;

[0105] 3) Design a time-domain staggered beam focusing strategy to concentrate the acoustic energy within a 30-100ms time window to the auditory perception area of ​​high-priority users; this mechanism improves the individual speech recognition in multi-user concurrent scenarios.

[0106] The digital filter bank in step S4 adopts a dynamic coefficient update strategy, and its parameter adjustment rules are as follows:

[0147] The sound field reconstruction parameters are received through the AES / EBU interface, and the phase delay is pre-compensated in the time domain and interpolated in the frequency domain. A multi-layer pipeline architecture is adopted to split the signal processing chain into three parallel computing stages: frame synchronization, frequency band cutting, and dynamic equalization. An on-chip error correction unit is integrated, and BCH encoding is used to ensure the transmission integrity of the distributed speaker drive signal.

[0148] The scene analysis module is connected to the feature extraction module via a PCIe bus, and the sound field optimization module receives the intermediate layer feature tensor from the feature extraction module through a high-speed parallel interface and transmits the reconstruction parameters to the sound effect generation module through the AES / EBU digital audio interface.

[0149] The module synergy effect of the above system is as follows:

[0150] Real-time performance guarantee: The parameter update rate of the beam controller and the frame processing cycle of the audio module are precisely aligned through timestamps;

[0151] Resource reuse mechanism: The two share the scene classification labels of the feature extraction module and reuse the azimuth index data of the HRTF database;

[0152] Multi-objective optimization: The spatial acoustic energy focusing of beamforming and the frequency domain energy allocation of sound effect generation form a closed loop for solving the joint cost function;

[0153] Hardware architecture adaptation: High parallelism FPGA and ultra-low latency DSP chip are used respectively to match the characteristics of their respective computationally intensive and control-intensive tasks.

[0154] In summary, the present invention has the following effects:

[0155] Deep fusion of multi-dimensional environmental perception: By fusing multi-modal data from a distributed microphone array, ToF lidar, and inertial measurement unit, geometric constraint modeling of sound wave propagation paths and physical modeling of dynamic obstacle reflection characteristics are achieved, fundamentally solving the problem of limited dimensions of environmental parameter acquisition in traditional methods;

[0156] Cross-modal feature collaborative learning: By leveraging the adversarial training mechanism of deep neural networks and cross-modal attention models, we can simultaneously explore the deep correlation between users' listening preferences and behavioral features, break through the cognitive boundaries of traditional solutions that independently analyze audio features, and significantly improve the semantic consistency of scene classification.

[0157] Global optimization sound field synthesis: Based on hybrid optimization theory, such as the joint solution of Nash equalization and boundary element method, an integrated model of sound field reconstruction and equipment coordination is constructed. While ensuring the accuracy of three-dimensional sound image positioning, the optimal energy distribution under multi-objective constraints is achieved, overcoming the inherent defects of local optimization in traditional methods.

[0158] Low-latency and high-efficiency architecture design: Through triple optimization of hierarchical clock synchronization mechanism, high-speed bus protocol between modules and dynamic power management strategy, the system ensures real-time response capability in complex scenarios, while breaking through the energy efficiency bottleneck of traditional architecture and achieving compatibility between professional-grade sound quality and mobile device battery life.
