Description
The present invention relates to a wireless headset, and more particularly to a wireless bone conduction headset and an audio signal output method using the same.
There are two ways in which humans can hear sound: air conduction and bone conduction.
Air conduction is a method in which sound is transmitted to the inner ear through the eardrum and is used in general speakers, earphones, and headsets. The air conduction path proceeds in the order of the eardrum, the osseous bone, the ovary, and the inner ear. In the case of the earphone, there was a problem that strong pressure constantly irritated the eardrum to damage the inner ear.
To solve this problem is a headset using bone conduction. Bone conduction means that sound through the cranial bone is transmitted to the cochlea and through the auditory nerve to the brain.
A headset using bone conduction is a method of transmitting sound by allowing vibrations from a bone conduction vibrator in close contact with the skull to reach the inner ear through the head bone.
By using this bone conduction method, it is possible to prevent the deafness caused by long-term use, and not to cover the ears, thereby eliminating frustration, and listening to music while listening to music, so that while driving or walking There is an effect that can easily recognize the external danger, there is an effect that can listen to music, even in a high noise environment. In addition, people with acquired hearing impairment or senile deafness, that is, those who have learned the language, can hear sounds using bone conduction earphones / headsets.
However, in the case of a bone conduction type phone / headset, in general, since the bass output is weaker than that of a general earphone / headset, there is a problem in that it does not produce a satisfactory effect when listening to music.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is a combination of a general earphone (headset) and bone conduction earphone (headset) by wireless to adjust the output between the bone conduction earphone (headset) and the general earphone (headset) according to the environment and the user's choice The present invention provides a bone conduction earphone (headset) and an audio signal output method using the same.
Wireless bone conduction headset of the present invention for solving the above problems, the wireless communication unit for wirelessly receiving and outputting an audio signal from an external electronic device; A speaker for converting the audio signal into an acoustic signal and outputting the audio signal; A bone conduction vibration unit converting the audio signal into vibration and outputting the vibration signal; An input unit for generating mode information according to a user's operation; And a controller configured to control the audio signal to be output through at least one of the speaker and the bone conduction vibration unit according to the mode information.
In addition, when the mode information is the first mode, the controller may control the audio signal to be output only through the speaker.
In addition, when the mode information is the second mode, the controller controls the audio signal to be output only through the bone conduction vibration unit, and transmits an EQ control signal for requesting transmission of an audio signal reinforced with a bass region. Through the transmission to the external electronic device.
The apparatus may further include an equalizing unit configured to reinforce and output a bass region of the audio signal according to an EQ control signal. When the mode information is the second mode, the controller may transmit the EQ control signal to the equalizing unit together with the audio signal. The equalizing unit may reinforce the bass region of the input audio signal and output the same to the bone conduction vibration unit.
The apparatus may further include a microphone for measuring an external noise level, and when the mode information is the third mode, the controller controls the audio signal to be simultaneously output through the speaker and the bone conduction vibration unit, depending on the noise level. The intensity of the audio signal output from the speaker and the bone conduction vibration unit may be adjusted.
The controller may control the output of the bone conduction vibration unit to be higher than the output of the bone conduction vibration unit when the external noise level is higher than the reference noise level, and to reduce the output of the speaker to the output of the reference noise level. When the external noise level is lower than the reference noise level, the output of the bone conduction vibration unit may be lower than the output when the reference noise level is higher, and the output of the speaker may be higher than the output when the reference noise level is higher. have.
On the other hand, the audio signal output method of the present invention for solving the above problems, (a) receiving an audio signal from an external electronic device, and querying the mode information selected by the user; (b) when the mode information indicates a first mode, converting the audio signal into a sound through a speaker and outputting the sound; (c) converting the audio signal into vibration through the bone conduction vibration unit and outputting the vibration information when the mode information indicates the second mode; And (d) outputting the audio signal through the speaker and the bone conduction vibration unit when the mode information indicates a third mode.
Also, in the step (c), the EQ control signal requesting the transmission of the audio signal reinforced with the bass region is transmitted to the external electronic device, and the audio signal reinforced with the bass region is received from the external electronic device. Can be.
In addition, in step (c), the bass region of the audio signal may be reinforced and output.
In addition, the step (d), (d1) when the mode information indicates the third mode, measuring the ambient noise level; And (d2) the intensity of the audio signal output from the speaker and the bone conduction vibration unit according to the ambient noise level.
In addition, in the step (d2), comparing the ambient noise level and the reference noise level, when the ambient noise level is higher than the reference noise level, the output of the bone conduction vibration unit outputs higher than the output when the reference noise level, the speaker The output of the output is lower than the output at the reference noise level, and when the ambient noise is lower than the reference noise level, the output of the bone conduction vibration unit outputs lower than the output at the reference noise level, the output of the speaker It can output higher than the output at the reference noise level.
The present invention includes a speaker and a bone conduction vibration unit used in a general earphone (headset) in one headset, and outputs an audio signal through any one of the speaker and bone conduction vibration unit, or both through the user's choice By outputting the audio signal, the user can listen to the audio signal through the speaker in a normal environment, and through the bone conduction vibrator when it is necessary to listen to the audio signal through the speaker or external sound depending on external noise or circumstances. When listening to the audio signal through both, the headset can listen to the audio signal more effectively by adaptively adjusting the output of the speaker and bone conduction vibration unit and the output of vibration and frequency band according to the ambient noise level. The effect is possible.
In particular, in the case of bone conduction type phones / headsets in general, since the bass output is weaker than general earphones / headsets, in order to solve the problem of not having a satisfactory effect when listening to music, the present invention can be operated as bone conduction. Even if the bass part is reinforced by the air vibration earphone speaker, it can reproduce and deliver more rich sound, and also the bone conduction and the existing earphone can be converted and analyzed through the EQ of the wireless earphone. In order to enhance the sound of the speaker, the sound being listened to by the external sound is reinforced according to the frequency band of the external sound so that the sound being listened to by the external sound is more effective.
