Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a smart sound wall system (Smart Sound Wall System with Enhanced Spatial Audio) that can be fixed by insertion or mounted on a wall in a frame-like form without being limited by installation space, and can transmit sound evenly to all areas by transmitting sound on a surface basis. Furthermore, it can convert and output the sound signal into a signal with enhanced spatial sense by using firmware equipped with a real-sound solution. Background Technology

[0002] Existing loudspeakers transmit sound on a point-by-point basis, thus requiring a large number of loudspeakers to provide sound to a wide space. They also have the problem of sound dead zones caused by volume differences between locations closer to and farther from the loudspeakers.

[0003] Furthermore, although array loudspeakers were developed to address the problems found in loudspeakers as described above, installing array loudspeakers requires highly specialized loudspeaker tuning and spatial design. Moreover, there is an optimal location, or optimal listening point, for listening to spatial sound, and sound blind spots may occur in spaces other than the optimal listening point. Also, similar to loudspeakers, volume differences still occur between closer and farther locations.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new technology that is easy to install and can prevent sound blind spots by providing uniform sound to a wide space.

[0037] The advantages, features, and methods of achieving the embodiments of this utility model will become even clearer through the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this utility model is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but can be implemented in many different forms. These embodiments are merely intended to more fully disclose the utility model and to more fully introduce the scope of the utility model to those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains. This utility model should only be defined by the scope of the claims. Throughout this specification, the same reference numerals denote the same constituent elements.

[0038] In describing the embodiments of this utility model, detailed descriptions of well-known functions or configurations will be omitted if it is determined that such detailed descriptions may obscure the essence of the utility model. Furthermore, the terminology used thereafter is defined with reference to the functions in the embodiments of this utility model and may change according to the intentions or conventions of the user and application. Therefore, it should be defined based on the overall content of this specification.

[0039] Next, the intelligent sound wall system 1000 for enhancing spatial awareness according to this utility model will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The intelligent sound wall system may refer to an intelligent sound wall module.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a block diagram illustrating the intelligent sound wall module of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a perspective view illustrating the intelligent sound wall module of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view illustrating the intelligent sound wall module of this utility model. Figure 4 This is a conceptual diagram illustrating the wall integration of the intelligent sound wall module of this utility model.

[0041] See Figures 1 to 4 The intelligent sound wall system 1000 for enhancing spatial sense of this utility model may include: an audio signal conversion unit 100, which converts a first audio signal received from an audio signal input unit A into a second audio signal that enhances reverberation and realistic sound; a vibration generating unit 200, which generates vibration based on the second audio signal received from the audio signal conversion unit 100; and an intelligent sound wall 300, which forms an audio space 301 inside and has the vibration generating unit 200 attached to its inner wall.

[0042] Specifically, conventional loudspeakers require multiple installations to produce sound in a wide space, and the space needs to be tuned for installation, which also creates the problem of sound dead zones. Therefore, in this invention, the smart sound wall 300 is made into a plate-shaped box structure that can be adhered to a wall or ceiling and incorporates a vibration generator inside, so that sound waves can be generated on the surface of the smart sound wall 300.

[0043] At this point, "realistic sound" refers to a realistic auditory experience, as if one were immersed in the sound. As an example, it can refer to a stereoscopic and natural sound heard through multiple channels.

[0044] In other words, because of its panel structure, it can be easily attached to walls or ceilings, thus avoiding installation limitations. Moreover, since the Smart Sound Wall 300 as a whole generates sound waves, it can provide the sound generated by the vibrations transmitted from the vibration generator 200 to a wider space.

[0045] In addition, the audio signal conversion unit 100 may include a control board storing firmware that can convert the received first audio signal and enhance reverberation and realistic sound (diffusion).

[0046] That is, when a device such as a computer, laptop, or smartphone that stores audio signals provides a first audio signal, the firmware stored in the control board can convert the first audio signal into a second audio signal with enhanced reverberation and diffusion, and provide the converted signal to the vibration generator 200.

[0047] In addition, the audio signal conversion unit can convert the first audio signal into a second audio signal through the stored firmware or software. Furthermore, an audio processor and a multi-effects processor can be used during audio conversion.

[0048] In addition, the audio signal conversion unit 100 can add hidden sounds to the second audio signal, thereby enhancing the tension and sense of presence of the sound generated by the second audio signal.

[0049] See Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The smart sound wall 300 may include: a front side plate 310 located on the front side and for the vibration generating part 200 to be pressed against; a rear side plate 320 disposed at a distance from the rear side of the front side plate 310; and an edge plate 330 connecting the edges of the front side plate 310 and the rear side plate 320.

[0050] Furthermore, the vibration generating part 200 can be attached to the back side of the front side plate 310.

[0051] Specifically, the front side plate 310 and the edge plate 330 connected thereto will vibrate and generate sound by means of the vibration transmitted from the vibration generating part 200.

[0052] At this time, sound can be generated on the front side plate 310 and the edge plate 330 as a whole by means of the vibration generating part 200, so that the generated sound is affine in a wider direction and diffused to a wider area.

[0053] In addition, in order to facilitate the transmission of vibrations, it is recommended that the front side panel 310 and the edge panel 330 be made of wood.

[0054] In addition, the rear panel 320 may be a soundproof panel that can attenuate or absorb vibrations.

[0055] Specifically, the smart sound wall 300 in this utility model is attached to a wall or ceiling. Therefore, when the vibration generated in the vibration generating part 200 is transmitted to the wall or ceiling through the rear side plate 320, it may not only generate noise, but may also cause the connection between the rear side plate 320 and the wall or ceiling to weaken.

[0056] Therefore, by causing the rear panel 320 to attenuate or absorb vibrations, it is possible to prevent the vibrations generated in the vibration generating section 200 from being transmitted to the wall or ceiling.

[0057] At this time, the rear panel 320 can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone resin that can absorb vibration, or it can adopt a honeycomb structure that can attenuate vibration on the front side that receives the vibration transmission, but it is not limited to these. In addition, vibration can be absorbed or attenuated in a variety of other ways.

[0058] Furthermore, the rear panel 320 may have a signal line inlet hole 321 formed on its upper side, through which the signal line B for connecting the audio signal conversion unit 100 and the vibration generation unit 200 passes.

[0059] Furthermore, although not illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the smart sound wall 300 may include: an adhesive layer adhered to the back side of the rear panel 330; and a cover layer adhered to the back side of the adhesive layer.

[0060] Specifically, since the Smart Sound Wall 300 is installed on a wall or ceiling, when installation is required, the Smart Sound Wall 300 can be installed by having the user remove the cover layer and then attaching the adhesive layer to the wall or ceiling.

[0061] At this point, the adhesive layer can be made of a substance with adhesive properties, or include a plate-like component with an adhesive substance coated on its surface, while the cover layer can include a variety of components that can be easily removed from the adhesive layer, and is not subject to any particular limitation.

[0062] Furthermore, although not illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the smart sound wall 300 may include: a sliding joint, which is hexagonal prism in shape, is joined to the edge and has a joint groove and a joint protrusion.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the smart sound wall 300 is made in the shape of a hexagonal prism, multiple smart sound walls 300 can be attached together to form a special shape, thereby serving as a decorative element for the interior space. Furthermore, the walls and ceilings incorporating the smart sound wall 300 can also have a three-dimensional feel.

[0064] Furthermore, when a sliding joint including a connecting groove and a connecting protrusion is formed on the edge of the hexagonal prism-shaped smart sound wall 300 as described above, the multiple smart sound walls 300 can be more stably connected by fastening the connecting groove and connecting protrusion of the smart sound walls 300 that are close to each other.

[0065] This utility model is not limited to the embodiments described above, and its scope of application is very wide. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains can make various modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model as claimed in the claims.
