These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information.

[0037] In recent years, audio devices such as headphones and headsets have made great technological progress, with more and more product types, richer functions and better performance. For example, in addition to traditional headphones, current audio devices have also seen the emergence of more types of headphones such as TWS (True Wireless Stereo earphones), OWS (Open-Back Stereo earphones), bone conduction headphones, and more. These newly emerging types of headphones have different advantages over traditional headphones. For example, OWS headphones have the advantages of being comfortable to wear and having rich sound details. However, TWS headphones do not fit completely with the user's ear canal when worn, and the gap between the two will cause the sound played by the headphones to leak into the environment. If there is privacy information in the sound, it will lead to privacy leakage.

[0038] The present invention provides an open-type earphone, which can be a TWS earphone, an accessory Figure 1The OWS earphone shown in the figure, and the like. As the name implies, the open earphone can be worn on the user's ear, and the open earphone can output sound waves into the user's ear canal when worn on the user's ear, that is, play audio. When the open earphone is worn on the user's ear, if there is a gap between the open earphone and the user's ear canal and pinna, it will cause sound leakage.

[0039] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 , which shows the structure of the open earphone, which only shows the position and connection relationship between the structures in the open earphone, and does not contain product structure, form, etc., that is, the attached figure does not limit the product structure, form, etc. For example, the structure, form, etc. of the open earphone can be adapted to the ergonomics of the user's wearing part.

[0040] As shown in the attached Figure 2 , the open earphone includes a housing and a first sound emitting unit. The first end of the housing is provided with a mounting cavity for mounting the first sound emitting unit, and the second end of the housing is provided with a battery compartment for mounting a battery; the connection structure between the first end and the second end is at least partially arc-shaped and at least partially includes an elastic material, which changes the relative position of the first end and the second end under the action of external force; it should be understood that the elastic material can maintain the natural state of the housing without receiving external force, that is, the relative position of the first end and the second end can remain unchanged, and the elastic material also has the ability to deform, that is, it can change shape under the action of external force and thus change the relative position of the first end and the second end to adapt to its use state, such as being in a clamping state to be worn on the user's ear, being in a retracted state to fit into the storage space of the earphone box, etc.

[0041] For example, the first end of the housing includes a front wall, a rear wall, and side walls connected to the front wall and the rear wall, respectively, and the front wall, the rear wall, and the side walls form a closed space, which is the mounting cavity in the housing. The first end is provided with a front sound cavity and a rear sound cavity of the first sound emitting unit. Optionally, the first sound emitting unit is arranged in the mounting cavity to divide the mounting cavity into a front sound cavity and a rear sound cavity, for example, the space between the first sound emitting unit and the front wall of the housing forms a front sound cavity, and the space between the first sound emitting unit and the rear wall of the housing forms a rear sound cavity. The first sound emitting unit is used to output sound waves, for example, it can be a loudspeaker unit, which can decode the sound source signal, convert the digital signal to the analog signal, and output the sound waves according to the processed sound source signal, that is, play the sound source signal.

[0042] The shell is provided with a main sound outlet hole communicating with the front sound cavity, which is located outside the user's ear canal in the wearing state and substantially faces the user's ear to output the first sound wave in the sound wave (i.e. the sound wave output by the first sound generating unit) to the user's ear canal; for example, the front wall of the shell faces the user's ear canal in the wearing state, and the main sound outlet hole is preferably arranged on the front wall of the shell to facilitate the transmission of the first sound wave into the user's ear canal. It should be understood that the present disclosure does not limit the number of main sound outlet holes; moreover, the main sound outlet hole is ideally directed towards the user's ear canal and has the best effect, but it is not necessarily completely directed towards the user's ear in each user's wearing state due to individual ear differences, etc., i.e. it is substantially directed towards the user's ear. For example, the front wall of the first end is a sound wave conducting material to facilitate the transmission of the sound wave output by the first sound generating unit to the outside of the shell and into the ear canal directed by the front wall; the rear wall and the side wall of the first end are sound wave shielding materials to avoid leakage of the sound wave output by the first sound generating unit. For another example, the first sound generating unit is arranged in the mounting cavity close to the front wall to facilitate the transmission of the sound wave output by the first sound generating unit to the user's ear canal through the main sound outlet hole on the front wall. It should be understood that there is a gap between the first sound generating unit and the front wall and the rear wall to ensure its vibration space, and its vibration direction can be front-back direction, and the sound wave transmission direction is front and back, i.e. it can transmit sound waves with the same amplitude and opposite phase forward and backward.

[0043] The shell has a gap with the user's ear canal, auricle and other body structures in the wearing state, so that part of the first sound wave output by the main sound outlet hole enters the user's ear canal, and part of it leaks directly or through reflection through the gap between the shell and the user's ear canal and auricle, forming a leakage sound wave. That is, the leakage sound wave is the sound wave in the first sound wave that leaks into the environment, such as the sound wave that does not enter the ear canal or the sound wave that enters the ear canal and is reflected out.

[0044] The shell is provided with a sub sound hole in communication with the rear sound cavity, the sub sound hole is different from the main sound hole in orientation, for example, the sub sound hole is provided on the rear wall and / or the side wall of the first end, preferably on the side wall. The number of sub sound holes is not limited in the present disclosure, preferably, the sub sound holes are uniformly distributed on the side wall of the first end, for example, the sub sound holes are symmetrically arranged on the rear wall and / or the side wall of the first end (i.e. symmetric about the axis center of the shell, the axis of the shell is the axial centerline of the side wall of the shell). The leaked sound waves will be transmitted to the outside of the side wall of the first end, even the outside of the rear wall of the first end after leakage; the sub sound hole is used to output the second sound wave in the sound wave (i.e. the sound wave output by the first sound generating unit), because the orientation of the sub sound hole is different from that of the main sound hole, the phase of the second sound wave output in the sub sound hole is different from, even opposite to, the leaked sound wave (the leaked sound wave is formed by the leakage of the first sound wave), therefore, when the leaked sound wave meets the second sound wave output by the sub sound hole, the second sound wave output by the sub sound hole will suppress, even eliminate, the leaked sound wave, i.e. used to offset at least part of the leaked sound wave, thereby avoiding the leakage of private information in the leaked sound wave.

[0045] Next, the effect of the open earphone provided in the embodiment will be described in detail in combination with the principle of sound wave cancellation and suppression.

[0046] Two different sound waves superimposed together will cause sound interference, and the sound will change.

[0047] Suppose two sound waves are P1 and P2, the amplitude is P 1a , P 2a , the frequency is w, the phase is α1 and α2, and the time is t.

[0048] P1=P 1a cos(wt-α1)

[0049] P2=P 2a cos(wt-α2)

[0050] The average sound energy density E1 and E2 can be obtained by the amplitude:

[0051] E1=P 1a ^2 / 2ρ0c0 ^2

[0052] E2=P 1a ^2 / 2ρ0c0 ^2

[0053] Where 2ρ0c0 ^2 is a constant, ρ0 is air density, and c0 is sound speed.

[0054] The synthetic sound energy density E has:

[0055] E = E1 + E2 + P 1a P 2a cos α / ρ0c0 ^2

[0056] Wherein, α is the phase difference of the two sound waves.

[0057] As can be seen from the above formula, the sound energy density of the synthetic sound wave is mainly related to the phase difference of the two waves. When the amplitudes of the two waves are the same and the phases are opposite, the sound waves will cancel each other out.

[0058] The open earphone provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can output the sound waves output by the first sound generating unit in the installation cavity as first sound waves through the main sound outlet hole communicating with the front sound cavity, and the first sound waves are used to transmit to the user's ear canal, and at the same time inevitably leak through the gap between the shell and the ear canal to form a leaked sound wave. The sound waves output by the first sound generating unit can also be output as second sound waves through the auxiliary sound outlet hole communicating with the rear sound cavity. Since the directions of the front and rear sound cavities are opposite, the phase difference between the leaked sound wave and the second sound wave output by the auxiliary sound outlet hole is about 180°. Therefore, the second sound wave output by the auxiliary sound outlet hole can suppress or even eliminate the leaked sound wave, that is, can cancel out the leaked sound wave, thereby avoiding the leakage of private information in the leaked sound wave.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the device further comprises a second sound generating unit arranged in the rear sound cavity, for example, the second sound generating unit comprises a loudspeaker unit. Please refer to FIG. 2, Figure 3 which exemplarily shows a structural schematic diagram of an open earphone provided with a second sound generating unit, which only shows the positions and connection relationships between the structures in the open earphone, and does not include product structures, forms, etc., that is, the drawings do not limit the product structures, forms, etc. For example, the structure and form of the open earphone can be adapted to the ergonomics of the user's wearing part.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 2, Figure 3 the second sound generating unit can be arranged in the rear sound cavity away from the first sound generating unit, for example, arranged at a position close to the rear wall of the first end, so as to avoid mutual interference between the two sound generating units. Preferably, the second sound generating unit is arranged in parallel with the first sound generating unit. It should be understood that there is a gap between the second sound generating unit and the front wall and the rear wall of the shell to ensure the vibration space thereof, and the vibration direction thereof can be the front-back direction, and the sound wave transmission direction is the front direction and the rear direction, that is, the sound waves with the same amplitude and opposite phases can be transmitted forward and backward.

[0061] Preferably, the second sound generating unit is configured to output a third sound wave to at least the auxiliary sound outlet, so as to cancel the leaked sound wave formed by the sound wave output by the first sound generating unit.

[0062] Preferably, the equalization processor of the first sound generating unit and the equalization processor of the second sound generating unit are configured to process the sound source signal respectively, so that the leaked sound wave and the third sound wave (i.e. Figure 3 part of the interference sound wave in the leaked sound wave and the third sound wave) satisfy at least one of the following conditions: the phase and the amplitude of the leaked sound wave and the third sound wave in a preset frequency band satisfy a mutual cancellation condition, for example, the phase is opposite and the amplitude is the same; the phase and the amplitude of the leaked sound wave and the third sound wave in a preset direction satisfy a mutual cancellation condition, for example, the phase is opposite and the amplitude is the same.

[0063] When the leaked sound wave is transmitted in the gap between the shell and the ear canal and the auricle of the user, the path is narrow, small and winding, which will cause the phase and the amplitude of the leaked sound wave to be affected and deviate from the phase and the amplitude of the original sound wave emitted by the first sound generating unit, especially in some frequency bands (for example, high frequency).

[0064] Because the amplitude and the phase of the leaked sound wave are different in different frequency bands and different directions of the user, the critical frequency band (i.e. the preset frequency band) and the direction (i.e. the preset direction) can be selected for the suppression and cancellation of the leaked sound wave. That is, after the equalization processor of the first sound generating unit is configured, the leaked sound wave formed by the sound wave emitted by the first sound generating unit in the earphone wearing state can be simulated, and the transfer function of the leaked sound wave in different frequency bands and the transfer function of the leaked sound wave in different directions of the user can be detected, wherein the direction of the user can be the direction indicated by the angle as shown in FIG. 10. Figure 4 Further, the equalization processor of the second sound generating unit is configured based on the transfer function of the leaked sound wave in the preset frequency band and / or the preset direction, so that in the case of the same sound source signal, the phase and the amplitude of the leaked sound wave formed by the sound wave output by the first sound generating unit in the preset frequency band and / or the preset direction and the third sound wave output by the second sound generating unit satisfy a mutual cancellation condition, which enables the third sound wave output by the second sound generating unit to suppress and even cancel the leaked sound wave in the preset frequency band and / or the preset direction.

[0065] Preferably, the preset frequency band can be a frequency band corresponding to a voice call sound wave, because there is more private information in the voice call sound wave, and it is necessary to avoid leakage. Alternatively, the preset frequency band can be a frequency band with the largest loudness among multiple frequency bands, because the frequency band with the largest loudness has a higher possibility of being heard by others, and it is necessary to avoid leakage.

[0066] The preset direction can be configured according to actual needs. For example, the side of the user is easy to have other people, and therefore the preset direction can be set to the side of the user. Figure 4 The directions represented by 90° and -90° are shown.

[0067] Preferably, the open earphone further comprises an audio control port for outputting an electric signal, and an inverting unit electrically connected between the audio control port and the second sound generating unit, for inverting the electric signal and outputting the inverted electric signal to the second sound generating unit, so that the second sound generating unit can generate the third sound wave; wherein the first sound generating unit is electrically connected to the audio control port, for generating the first sound wave and the second sound wave based on the electric signal.

[0068] That is, the first sound generating unit directly generates sound waves based on the electric signal output by the audio control port, and forms the first sound wave when output through the main sound outlet and forms the second sound wave when output through the auxiliary sound outlet; and the second sound generating unit generates the third sound wave based on the inverted electric signal output by the inverting unit, so that the third sound wave is inverted with the leaked sound wave formed by the first sound wave.

[0069] Illustratively, the open earphone further comprises a first switching unit electrically connected between the audio control port and the first sound generating unit, for digital-to-analog switching of the electric signal output by the audio control port to obtain a first analog signal. The electric signal is completed digital-to-analog switching through the first switching unit, so as to facilitate the first sound generating unit to generate sound waves based on the analog signal.

[0070] Illustratively, the open earphone further comprises a second switching unit electrically connected between the inverting unit and the second sound generating unit, for digital-to-analog switching of the inverted electric signal output by the inverting unit to obtain a second analog signal. The electric signal is completed digital-to-analog switching through the first switching unit, so as to facilitate the second sound generating unit to generate sound waves based on the analog signal.

This application is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptive changes of this disclosure that follow, in general, the principles of the disclosure and include known equivalents or substitutions without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
