Embodiment
Describe the present invention with specific embodiment below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
The present invention is a kind of method for controlling volume and system, on the basis of the volume automatic gain control of generally adopting at present, pre-defined voice flow volume status, judge the volume status of current speech stream, and according to judged result voice flow is carried out corresponding volume adjustment, the voice flow that output is at last adjusted through volume.
Figure 1 shows that and use schematic flow sheet of the present invention.
Step 101, definition voice flow volume status.
This programme is distinguished voice flow in advance and is defined as several volume status, in an embodiment of this programme, voice flow by pre-defined be three kinds of volume status, as shown in Figure 1, be respectively the normal quantity state, mute state and louder volume state, and the threshold value of setting corresponding judgment voice flow volume status, be respectively quiet threshold value, quiet persistence length value and louder volume threshold value.Quiet threshold value, quiet persistence length value and louder volume threshold value obtain through actual measurement.
Voice flow is gathered and preserved to step 102.
With existing automatic gain method for controlling volume in the same manner, voice flow is gathered the processing block of preserving into several same size, each processing block comprises several sample point quantized amplitudes Value Datas.The method for controlling volume of this programme is that each processing block of current speech stream is judged volume status, and calculate the corresponding multiplication factor of this processing block, be the automatic gain value, and then multiply by the multiplication factor that calculates for each sample point in this processing block, as output.When calculating multiplication factor, consider that simultaneously the automatic gain value must be less than the maximum amplification of current processing block, amplitude after promptly control is amplified can not surpass maximum quantification gradation, for example the sample rate when the voice flow of working as pre-treatment is 8000Hz, quantification gradation is 16, during tape symbol, the sample point amplitude after guaranteeing to amplify can not surpass 2 15-1 (32767) Hz.
Step 103 is judged the voice flow volume status.
The voice flow of having preserved is carried out the judgement of volume status according to predefined threshold value.The judgement of voice flow volume status also needs to measure calculating two parameters, current processing block max volume value and current processing block average volume value.Preferably, current processing block max volume value is the volume of the sample point of volume maximum in this processing block, and current processing block average volume value is the mean value of the volume of all sample points in the current processing block.At first more described quiet threshold value and described current processing block max volume value in the time of continuous quiet persistence length value representative, when described quiet threshold value during greater than current processing block max volume value, judges that voice flow is in mute state in the time of continuous quiet persistence length value representative; When described quiet threshold value in the time of continuous quiet persistence length value representative less than current processing block max volume value, then more described louder volume threshold value and described average volume value; If described louder volume threshold value, judges then that voice flow is in the louder volume state less than described average volume value; If described louder volume threshold value, judges then that voice flow is in the normal quantity state greater than described average volume value.
Step 1041, when voice flow is in the normal quantity state, carry out the adjustment of automatic gain volume, with any algorithm of common automatic gain adjustment is that each processing block in the voice flow calculates a multiplication factor, multiply by the multiplication factor that calculates for then the volume amplitude of each sample point in the processing block, as the output volume of voice flow.
Step 1042, during mute state, more quiet preceding yield value Gain and 1.When mute state, in order not amplify background noise, the automatic gain value should be 1.Generally, quiet before the automatic gain value generally be not 1, be to keep linking up of voice flow volume level and smooth, take the strategy of finely tuning gradually, each adjusting range is identical, makes automatic gain value convergence 1.
Step 1043, during the louder volume state, the downward modulation yield value is to reduce volume.
Step 1051, quiet preceding yield value Gain dwindled Gain gradually and makes it convergence 1 greater than 1 o'clock.
Step 1052, quiet preceding yield value Gain increased Gain gradually and makes it convergence 1 less than 1 o'clock.
Step 1053, quiet preceding yield value Gain equals at 1 o'clock, keeps the Gain value constant.
Step 106, the adjusted voice flow of output volume.
In one embodiment of the present of invention, the automatic gain controlling schemes during quiet is divided into two parts:
The one, how to judge effectively current whether be in quiet during; The 2nd, when judge current be in quiet during the time, how to regulate current automatic gain value.
How to judge current whether be in quiet during, at first must select one and judge whether quiet amplitude threshold value SILENCE_THRESHOLD.By reality test, select SILENCE_THRESHOLD=700Hz, when amplitude during less than SILENCE_THRESHOLD voice flow be defined as mute state, otherwise be non-mute state.Next, calculate the peak swing value (taking absolute value) of each processing block, and compare with SILENCE_THRESHOLD.Simultaneously, a quiet persistence length value SILENCE_DURATION is set again.By the reality test, select SILENCE_DURATION=2 second.The peak swing value that all occurs processing block in time as continuous SILENCE_DURATION judges during less than SILENCE_THRESHOLD, current be in quiet during, carry out the automatic gain adjustment during quiet.
The target that automatic gain adjustment during quiet is pursued is: can not do any processing to voice flow during quiet, promptly the automatic gain value is 1, does not amplify also and does not dwindle, and keeps the background noise former state.But, during quiet before, automatic gain value Gain may not be 1, if be set to 1 once judging the quiet value of automatic gain at once, can cause quiet before and quiet at the beginning sound volume mutation, can cause the incoherence of voice equally.Therefore, in this design, when be judged as quiet during the time, carry out following operation:
if(Gain>1.0)
Gain=Gain*0.95;
else?if(Gain<0.95)
Gain=Gain*1.05
Such processing just makes that during quiet, the automatic gain value gently is smoothly transitted into 1, reaches the effect of volume smooth excessiveness.
For the automatic gain controlling schemes of louder volume, there is the problem of two aspects equally: the one, how to judge effectively and currently whether be in during the louder volume; The 2nd, when judge current be in louder volume during the time, should how to reduce the automatic gain value effectively.
Only, can not carry out the judgement of louder volume by the peak swing value of the processing block that counts.Therefore, introduce another statistical value Block_average, the mean amplitude of tide value (absolute value) of current processing block.Judge by the Block_average value.Simultaneously, define the amplitude threshold value HIGH_THRESHOLD of a definite louder volume, and be chosen to be 15000Hz by the reality test.
if(Block_average>HIGH_THRESHOLD)
Gain=HIGH_THRESHOLD/Block_average;
When the mean amplitude of tide value greater than HIGH_THRESHOLD, then the Gain value is reduced processing, following modulation is HIGH_THRESHOLD/Block_average.
By such processing, can effectively limit the volume of the sample point of louder volume.
Figure 2 shows that and use sound-volume control system structure chart of the present invention.Sound-volume control system shown in Fig. 2 comprises voice flow transmitting terminal 201, voice flow receiving terminal 202, and voice server 203 and volume controller 204 are formed.The voice flow input module 205 of volume controller 204 is directly gathered voice flow from voice flow transmitting terminal 201.Voice flow processing module 206 is preserved into the processing block of several same size with the voice flow of being gathered, and each processing block comprises several sample points, and measures descant value and the average volume value that calculates each processing block.Volume status judge module 207 is judged the volume status of voice flow according to predefined threshold value.Audio Control Module 208 is according to the judged result of volume status judge module 207, and the voice flow to different conditions carries out corresponding volume adjustment respectively.209 outputs of voice flow output module are adjusted later voice flow through volume and are given voice flow receiving terminal 202.Voice flow input module 205 also can be gathered voice flow from voice server 203, and at this moment, the communication between voice flow transmitting terminal 201 and the voice flow receiving terminal 202 is finished by voice server 203 transfers.
Figure 3 shows that the multichannel counterbalance effect of a plurality of voice flow transmitting terminals at same receiving terminal.Volume controller 204 is gathered voice flow respectively from transmitting terminal 301 and transmitting terminal 306, preserves and judge the volume status of voice flow respectively, and adjusts the voice flow volume according to judged result respectively, exports the voice flow of adjusting through volume at last respectively and gives receiving terminal 302.Because the voice flow of transmitting terminal 301 and 306 has all been done corresponding volume adjustment respectively, so regardless of 301 and 306 volume setting, the voice flow that their send reaches consistent in the volume of receiving terminal 302.Under transit server communication situation, transmitting terminal 301 and 306 sends to voice flow voice server 304 respectively, and volume controller 204 is preserved voice flow from the voice server collection, through corresponding volume adjustment, outputs to receiving terminal 302.Transmitting terminal 306 is a mobile phone among the figure, and 306 voice messaging sends to voice server 304 by mobile communication gateway 303, is transmitted to volume controller 204 again.As shown in Figure 3, receiving terminal 305 is mobile communications tool PDA, volume controller 204 sends the adjusted voice flow of process volume to voice server 304, is transmitted to mobile communication gateway 303 by voice server 304 again, sends to receiving terminal 305 by mobile communication gateway 303 at last.
Figure 4 shows that the application of the present invention in instant communicating system.Instant communicating system shown in Figure 4 comprises the instant communication client 401 and 402 of opposite end each other, instant communication server 403, voice server 404.Instant communication client 401 and 402 all comprises instant messaging module 405, speech communication module 406 and volume controller 204.Be integrated in the speech communication instrument of instant communication client 401 when startup, during as voice-enabled chat instrument, video conference instrument etc., instant messaging module 405 is called speech communication module 406, send the speech communication request to instant communication client 402 by instant communication server 403, instant communication client 402 these speech communication requests of response, set up the speech communication passage between opposite end 401 and 402, this moment, instant communication client 401 was a transmitting terminal, and 402 is receiving terminal.The volume controller 204 of receiving terminal 402 is gathered the voice flow that receives from speech communication module 406, carries out exporting after the volume adjustment.Under transit server communication situation, instant communication client 401 sends voice flow to voice server 404, voice server 404 is transmitted to instant communication client 402, and 204 pairs of voice flows that receive of the volume controller of instant communication client 402 carry out exporting after the volume adjustment.Similarly, the volume controller 204 of transmitting terminal 401 also can be gathered voice flow from the speech communication module 406 of transmitting terminal 401, sends after adjusting through volume again.Under transit server communication situation, volume controller also can not be located at instant communication client 401 and 402, and is arranged on voice server 404, after voice server 404 receives voice flow, carries out the volume adjustment earlier, is transmitted to receiving terminal again.
