Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of audio signal processing and application, and in particular to an audio reproduction method, a car audio system and a storage medium. [Background technology]

[0002] Car audio systems are an important component of in-car entertainment, and playing audio in the cockpit of a car can bring users a better and more immersive driving experience. Looking at the history of the development of the number of speakers in car audio systems, in the era of gasoline-powered cars, there were at least four speakers, but in the current era of smart cockpits, car audio systems usually have more than 20 speakers. This shows that users' pursuit of audio has evolved from the initial simple improvement of sound quality to the current desire for sound field effects. In this day and age, a better and more immersive surround experience is particularly important under the multi-speaker architecture of car audio systems.

[0003] In the past, most in-vehicle hosts and user terminals can only provide dual-channel sound sources, so when it comes to surround sound processing, the car audio system can only achieve simple upmixing and speaker routing through the dual-channel sound source. Of course, some high-end and flagship models may increase the surround feeling through sound effect processing with binaural crosstalk cancellation, but even if the dual-channel sound source is simply upmixed and speaker routed, or the surround feeling is enhanced through sound effect processing with binaural crosstalk cancellation, it cannot create a good surround experience and may even have a negative impact on the sound quality, which will worsen the overall acoustic experience effect of the car audio system.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to improve the audio reproduction method of the above car audio system. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT The present invention aims to provide an audio reproducing method, a car audio system and a storage medium for solving the problem in the prior art that the overall acoustic experience effect of the car audio system is deteriorated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides an audio reproduction method applicable to a car audio system, the car audio system including a plurality of speaker modules installed at different positions in a cockpit of a car, the audio reproduction method including: obtaining an audio signal to be reproduced; decomposing the audio signal to obtain a plurality of sound source signals of different categories, where each of the sound source signals includes a plurality of sub-sound source signals of the same category; establishing routing between all the sub-sound source signals and the plurality of speaker modules based on a preset allocation principle, where the preset allocation principle refers to a rule that different sub-sound source signals are reproduced by different speaker modules; and reproducing each of the sub-sound source signals by a corresponding one of the speaker modules based on the routing.

[0007] In a second aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a car audio system is provided, comprising a control processing module provided in a cockpit of a motor vehicle, and a plurality of speaker modules connected to the control processing module, wherein the plurality of speaker modules are each located at a different position in the cockpit of the motor vehicle, and the control processing module is used to perform the audio reproduction method according to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0008] In a third aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a computer readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon, the executable instructions, when executed, performing the audio reproduction method according to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention. Effect of the Invention

[0009] From the above description, compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present application are as follows: First, an audio signal to be reproduced is obtained. Then, the audio signal is decomposed to obtain a plurality of sound source signals of different categories (for example, stringed instrument sound signals). Here, each sound source signal includes a plurality of sub sound source signals of the same category (for example, stringed instrument sound signals include erhu sound signals, violin sound signals, cello sound signals, etc.). Then, based on a preset allocation principle, a routing is established between all the sub sound source signals and a plurality of speaker modules. Here, the preset allocation principle refers to a rule that different sub sound source signals are reproduced by different speaker modules. Finally, based on the routing, each sub sound source signal is reproduced by a corresponding speaker module. As can be seen from the above, in this application, based on the sound source category, an input audio signal is decomposed into a plurality of sound source signals of different categories (each sound source signal includes a plurality of sub sound source signals of the same category), and then, based on the preset allocation principle, the different sub sound source signals are reproduced by speaker modules at different positions in the cockpit of the automobile. This provides more accurate and immersive in-vehicle multi-channel surround repeat playback (repeat playback refers to playing different sub-sound source signals through different speaker modules), effectively improving the acoustic experience of the entire car audio system.

[0011] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following in combination with the embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. Herein, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. It should be understood that the various embodiments of the present application described below are only used to describe the present application and are not used to limit the present application, that is, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor based on the various embodiments of the present application fall within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, the technical features of the various embodiments of the present application described below may be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an audio reproducing method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the audio reproducing method is applied to a car audio system including a plurality of speaker modules installed at different positions in a cockpit of a car, and includes the following steps 101 to 104.

[0013] Step 101: The audio signal to be reproduced is obtained.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present application, when playing audio in a car audio system, it is first necessary to obtain the audio signal to be played, and the sound source corresponding to the obtained audio signal includes, but is not limited to, a mono sound source, a dual channel sound source, and a multi-channel sound source, and may further be from an in-vehicle host or a user terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet.

[0015] Step 102: Decompose the audio signal to obtain a plurality of source signals of different categories.

[0016] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining an audio signal to be played, the audio signal needs to be decomposed according to the type of the audio source to obtain a plurality of audio source signals of different categories. Here, each audio source signal includes a plurality of sub-audio source signals of the same category. Note that the audio source signal may be a mono track or multi-track audio source signal pre-arranged in the audio source corresponding to the audio signal, including but not limited to a left channel track, a right channel track, a center channel track, and a surround channel track. The audio source signal may be a mono track or multi-track audio source signal separated and extracted from the audio signal in step 102, including but not limited to a human audio source signal, an instrument audio source signal, and a background environment audio source signal.

[0017] Moreover, the audio signal may have a single channel or multiple channels. If the audio signal has multiple channels, the decomposition result of the audio signal by step 102 is to obtain multiple source signals of different categories in all channels. Assuming that the audio signal is dual-channel, the decomposition result of the audio signal by step 102 is to obtain multiple source signals of different categories in the left channel and multiple source signals of different categories in the right channel.

[0018] Step 103: Establish routing between all sub-sound source signals and the multiple speaker modules based on a preset allocation principle.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present application, after separating and extracting multiple sound source signals of different categories from an audio signal, it is necessary to establish routing between all the sub sound source signals and multiple speaker modules based on a preset allocation principle, where the preset allocation principle refers to a rule that different sub sound source signals are played by different speaker modules.

[0020] Specifically, when performing step 103, the correlation between the sub-sound source signals of the same category among all channels and the frequencies of all the sub-sound source signals can be obtained. Then, referring to the obtained correlation and frequency, the routing between all the sub-sound source signals and the multiple speaker modules is established according to a preset allocation principle. This will be described in detail in the following embodiment.

[0021] Step 104: Based on the routing, each of the sub-sound source signals is played back by a corresponding speaker module.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present application, after establishing the routing between all the sub-sound source signals and multiple speaker modules, each sub-sound source signal needs to be played by a corresponding speaker module based on the established routing.

[0023] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the input audio signal is decomposed into multiple sound source signals of different categories (each sound source signal includes multiple sub sound source signals of the same category) based on the category of the sound source, and then, with reference to a preset allocation principle, the different sub sound source signals are played back by speaker modules at different positions in the cockpit of the automobile, thereby providing a more accurate and immersive in-vehicle multi-channel surround repeat playback (repeat playback refers to playing different sub sound source signals by different speaker modules), and effectively improving the acoustic experience effect of the entire car audio system.

[0024] Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a module block diagram of a car audio system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiment of the present application further provides a car audio system, which includes a control processing module installed in a cockpit of a car and a plurality of speaker modules connected to the control processing module, where the plurality of speaker modules are located at different positions in the cockpit of the car, and the control processing module is used to execute the audio reproducing method according to the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of speaker modules may include various types, such as a subwoofer module, a bass speaker module, and a mid-high speaker module. The speaker module may include one speaker or multiple speakers. Hereinafter, an embodiment including one speaker will be described as an example.

[0026] Specifically, the control processing module includes a calculation processing module 27, a storage module 28, an audio bus 26, a digital-to-analog conversion module (not shown), a power amplifier module 30, and a power management module 29. Here, the audio bus 26 is used to transmit an audio signal to be reproduced to the calculation processing module 27. The storage module 28 is used to store at least one program, and when the at least one program is executed by the calculation processing module 27, the calculation processing module 27 executes the audio reproduction method according to the embodiment of the present application. The digital-to-analog conversion module is used to convert a digital signal output from the calculation processing module 27 into an analog signal. The power amplifier module 30 is used to amplify the power of the analog signal output from the digital-to-analog conversion module and transmit it to a plurality of speakers. The power management module 29 is used to manage the power supply of the calculation processing module 27, the storage module 28, the digital-to-analog conversion module, the power amplifier module 30, and a plurality of speaker modules.

[0027] Specifically, the power amplifier module 30 has a plurality of input interfaces and a plurality of output interfaces, where one input interface and one output interface constitute one transmission channel, and the number of transmission channels is the same as the number of speakers, in order to facilitate the transmission of each power-amplified sub-sound source signal to the corresponding speaker for playback.

[0028] In order to more clearly understand the car audio system and its audio playback method described in the embodiments of the present application, the car audio system and its audio playback method described in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below using the 24-channel (meaning that it includes 24 speakers) car audio system shown in Figure 3 as an example.

[0029] Speaker 1 is located in the center console of the vehicle, speakers 2 and 3 are located on the left and right sides of the center console of the vehicle, speakers 4 to 11 are located on the right front door, left front door, right back door, and left back door of the vehicle, speakers 12 to 19 are located in the headrests of the driver's seat, passenger seat, right rear seat, and left rear seat of the vehicle, speakers 20 to 23 are located on the right front, left front, right rear, and left rear of the ceiling of the vehicle, and speaker 24 is located in the trunk of the vehicle. Here, speakers 5, 9, 7, and 11 are bass speakers used to repeatedly play sounds of 180 Hz or less, speaker 24 is a sub-bass speaker used to repeatedly play sounds of 60 Hz or less, and the remaining speakers are mid- and treble speakers used to repeatedly play sounds of 180 Hz or more. Speakers 1 to 24 are connected to a control processing module 25 by an audio harness.

[0030] The control processing module 25 obtains an original audio signal (i.e., an audio signal to be played) via an audio bus 26. Taking a dual-channel original audio signal as an example, the original audio signal can respectively denote the left channel as L(t) and the right channel as R(t). By decomposing the audio content object (i.e., the sound source signal) of the original audio signal, the left channel can be represented as L(t) and the right channel as R(t) in the following form: TIFF0007635269000001.tif40109

[0031] Where: TIFF0007635269000002.tif10130 and others indicate audio content objects of different categories among the original sound sources, TIFF0007635269000003.tif1097, etc. indicate the number of elements (i.e., sub-sound source signals) contained in different audio content objects. In the embodiment of the present application, the original audio signal is decomposed into six different audio content objects, including human voice, wind instrument sounds (bamboo flute, copper pipe, etc.), plucked string instrument sounds (pipa, guitar, etc.), stringed instrument sounds (erhu, violin, cello, etc.), percussion sounds (drum sounds, bell cymbals, gongs, etc.), and background sounds (wind sounds, clapping, rain sounds, etc.), but may be decomposed according to the design needs of the product. This is not limited here. Taking the wind instrument sounds as an example, the corresponding sub-sound source signals are the bamboo flute, copper pipe, etc.

[0032] Therefore, the original audio signal can be represented as follows: TIFF0007635269000004.tif60135

[0033] Where: TIFF0007635269000005.tif1351 shows the voice content objects separated from the left and right channel original sound sources, respectively. TIFF0007635269000006.tif1051 shows the content objects of the wind instrument sound separated from the left and right channel original sound sources, TIFF0007635269000007.tif1059 shows plucked string instrument content objects separated from the left and right channel original sound sources, respectively. TIFF0007635269000008.tif955 shows percussion sound content objects separated from the left and right channel original sound sources, TIFF0007635269000009.tif1051 shows stringed instrument sound content objects separated from the left and right channel original sound sources, respectively. TIFF0007635269000010.tif1050 shows background sound content objects separated from the left and right channel original sound sources, respectively.

[0034] After the content decomposition of the audio content objects for the original sound source is completed, content analysis is performed on each audio content object, and different audio content objects need to be routed to the input side of different power amplifier modules according to a certain allocation principle, and this part of the processing work is performed by the calculation processing module 27. The allocation principle basically follows the basic characteristics of the multifaceted and multilateral subjective perception of spatial audio of the human ear, and should not cause unpleasant hearing sensation contrary to the hearing common sense of the human ear, while also performing a certain degree of matching and optimization according to the design requirements of the product definition.

[0035] For the audio content objects decomposed from the original sound source, first, among the original left and right channel sound sources, audio content objects with high correlation between elements of the same category are analyzed. For example, among the original left and right channel sound sources, the correlation rsq of the voice category object is vocal Calculate. TIFF0007635269000011.tif1091

[0036] Here, RSQ[] indicates the squared value calculation of the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient between two variables, and when rsq≧0.8, there is a high correlation between the two, and when rsq<0.8, there is a low correlation between the two. Thus, the audio content object of the left channel sound source of the original audio signal can be decomposed as follows: TIFF0007635269000012.tif1078

[0037] TIFF0007635269000013.tif1025 shows the left channel audio that is highly correlated with the right channel. TIFF0007635269000014.tif1025 shows the left channel audio that has low correlation with the right channel, and can be shown as follows: TIFF0007635269000015.tif46146TIFF0007635269000016.tif46146

[0038] Similarly, the audio content object of the left channel sound source in the original audio signal can be decomposed and shown as follows: TIFF0007635269000017.tif1078

[0039] Where: TIFF0007635269000018.tif46147TIFF0007635269000019.tif46146

[0040] For audio content objects decomposed from the original sound source, after analyzing audio content objects with high correlation between elements of the same category among the original left and right channel sound sources, it is necessary to consider the frequency components of the audio content objects so as to match different bass, midrange and treble speakers. For example, a percussion category object of a left channel sound source TIFF0007635269000020.tif1024 contains audio content elements such as drum, bell cymbal, gong, etc. It is obvious that the frequency of the drum sound is low and the frequency of the bell cymbal is high, so these two kinds of audio content objects need to be transmitted to the woofer and the mid-high speaker respectively to perform audio loop playback.

[0041] The frequency component analysis of the audio content object can be performed as follows. For example, a part of the percussion category object of the left channel sound source that has a high correlation between the left and right channels is Frequency component analysis can be performed on TIFF0007635269000021.tif1264. TIFF0007635269000022.tif11146

[0042] Here, FFT[] is the Fast Fourier Transform, a basic digital signal processing method that converts a time-domain signal into a frequency-domain signal, and f drums is the frequency component after transformation, amp drums indicates the converted amplitude value.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, all audio content objects are processed by dividing them into three frequency ranges: <60Hz, 60Hz-180Hz, and >180Hz. In addition, when processing audio content objects by dividing them into several frequency ranges, design changes can be made according to the car speaker architecture. For example, if the car speaker architecture includes a separate channel for driving a treble unit whose operating frequency band is 2000Hz or more, the audio content objects also need to be distinguished between the part below 2000Hz and the part above 2000Hz.

[0044] therefore, TIFF0007635269000023.tif1023 can be displayed as follows: TIFF0007635269000024.tif19155

[0045] After the content analysis of the audio content objects is completed, the calculation processing module 27 assigns different audio content objects to the inputs of different power amplifier modules. The input side of the power amplifier module corresponding to speaker 1 is as follows.
