Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Micro speakers in multimedia devices suffer from poor low-frequency playback capabilities, leading to insufficient low- and medium-frequency loudness and poor sound quality, which affects auditory perception.
Innovation Solution
Perform frequency division on input signals to separate low-frequency and high-frequency components, apply transient detection and envelope modulation to enhance low-frequency signals, and use phase compensation and bass enhancement algorithms to improve sound quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the speaker size is reduced for miniaturization and portability, then the device becomes more portable, but the low-frequency playback capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The audio signal is segmented into different frequency bands (low-frequency and high-frequency components) through frequency division. This allows separate processing of low-frequency signals to enhance their playback quality while maintaining the compact speaker size, directly addressing the contradiction between miniaturization and low-frequency capability.
2Illumination intensity
If transient detection and envelope modulation are applied to low-frequency signals, then the loudness and dynamic range of low-frequency signals are enhanced, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Transient detection is performed preliminarily on the low-frequency signal components before final output. By detecting transient characteristics in advance and applying envelope modulation only when needed, the system enhances loudness and dynamic range efficiently without continuously increasing processing complexity for all signal types.
3Measurement precision
If frequency division is performed on the input signal, then the low-frequency and high-frequency components are separated for targeted processing, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The input signal is divided into low-frequency and high-frequency components through frequency division, enabling targeted processing for each band. This segmentation allows precise enhancement of low-frequency components while maintaining efficient overall processing by handling each frequency band independently with appropriate algorithms.

AI summary
A method for improving sound quality of a speaker includes: performing frequency division on an input signal of the speaker to obtain a first low-frequency input signal and a first high-frequency input signal, where the input signal is a time domain signal; performing transient detection on the first low-frequency input signal to determine whether the first low-frequency input signal is a transient signal; if the first low-frequency input signal is a transient signal, performing signal envelope modulation on the first low-frequency input signal to obtain a second low-frequency input signal; determining an output signal of the speaker based on the second low-frequency input signal and the first high-frequency input signal, where a startup voltage of the second low-frequency input signal is higher than a startup voltage of the first low-frequency input signal, and loudness of the second low-frequency input signal is greater than loudness of the first low-frequency input signal.
