Specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is discussed with reference to the prior art.Fig. 2 is to elaborate dynamic loudspeaker by way of example, and not limitation The block diagram of (" the DSM ") system 10 of management, dynamic loudspeaker management system 10 include DSM modules 12, SPL model modules 14, return Sound canceller module 16 and current/voltage sensing amplifier 32.In this example, DSM systems 10 are coupled to portable electronic The loudspeaker (" loud speaker ") 18 and " proximal end " microphone 20 of equipment (such as smart mobile phone, tablet computer etc.).This amplifies Device 18 and microphone 20 are exposed to the ambient enviroment 22 that can have one or more reflectings surface 24, such as room.It is noted that There is the acoustic path across the direct of air and reflection from loud speaker 18 to microphone 20, so as to lead to sound at microphone 20 Feedback.
DSM systems 10 have input 26, sometimes referred to as " distal end " input, and such as distal end can be included by being somebody's turn to do " distal end " input Signal, referred to herein as " far-end speech ".Such as in the case of smart mobile phone, this can come from the radio frequency of phone (RF) acceptor circuit.It is handled by DSM modules 12 by inputting 26, so that signal loudness maximizes, and is loudspeaker 18 modeling provides information.In the unrestricted example, the output 28 of amplifier 32 using the electric current I under voltage V come Drive the coil of loudspeaker 18.
In the unrestricted example, DSM modules 12 include DSM control blocks 30 and loud speaker modeling device 34.The DSM is controlled Clamp dog 30 has remote signaling as input and the revise signal as output, which, which is referred to herein as, is applied to " the modified remote signaling " of the input terminal of amplifier 32.In this example, the output of DSM control blocks 30 is input to amplification It in device 32 and is input in SPL model modules 14 via circuit 33 again, although can be omitted circuit 33 in other embodiments.
As described above, amplifier 32 provides output signal 28 for loud speaker 18, also voltage V is provided to loud speaker modeling device 34 With electric current I parameters.Loud speaker modeling device 34 provides output 35, which is input into DSM control blocks 30 and SPL model modules In 14 the two.
