And features in the embodiments and examples described below may be combined with each other without conflict.
In order to solve the technical problem of low positioning accuracy of the bluetooth positioning technology in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a speaker device, which includes a control circuit and an antenna array. The antenna array comprises at least two antennas which are arranged in an array and connected to the control circuit. Each antenna in the antenna array is used for receiving a Bluetooth positioning signal from the base station equipment, so that the control circuit determines the relative orientation of the loudspeaker equipment relative to the base station equipment through the arrival angle of the Bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna and the distance between the antennas. As described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a speaker device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In one embodiment, the speaker device 1 may be a speaker device such as an earphone, including an in-ear earphone, a headphone, a neck-worn earphone, and the like. The user wears the speaker device 1, and the position where the user is located is not fixed but is changed at any time, which means that the position of the speaker device 1 is not fixed. To realize the positioning of the loudspeaker device 1, a fixed-position device, such as a base station device, is used to determine the real-time position of the loudspeaker device 1. Therefore, the positioning of the speaker apparatus 1, that is, the relative orientation of the speaker apparatus 1 with respect to the base station apparatus is determined, thereby determining the real-time position of the speaker apparatus 1.
Specifically, the speaker device 1 includes a control circuit 11 and an antenna array 12. The antenna array 12 comprises at least two antennas arranged in an array and connected to the control circuit 11. Each antenna in the antenna array 12 is used to receive bluetooth positioning signals from a base station device. Since the distances from the antennas to the base station device in the antenna array 12 are different, the bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas have time difference of arrival and further have phase difference, and therefore, the Angle of arrival (AOA) of the bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas are different. In view of this, the control circuit 11 of the present embodiment determines the relative orientation of the speaker device 1 with respect to the base station device, that is, realizes the positioning of the speaker device 1, by the arrival angle of the bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna and the distance between the antennas. And the antenna array 12 combines with the positioning algorithm of the arrival angle of the bluetooth positioning signal, so that the positioning accuracy is high, and the speaker device 1 can have high positioning accuracy.
Preferably, the control circuit 11 may be a chip integrated with a logic operation circuit, and is used as a main control part of the loudspeaker device 1, for controlling the components of the loudspeaker device 1 to work in coordination, and simultaneously for executing the above-mentioned positioning algorithm of the loudspeaker device 1. The control circuit 11 also integrates a bluetooth communication circuit, so that the antennas in the antenna array 12 can communicate with the base station device via bluetooth, and determine the relative orientation of the speaker device 1 with respect to the base station device based on the arrival angle of the bluetooth positioning signal. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the bluetooth communication circuit may also be independent of the control circuit 11, the antenna in the antenna array 12 is connected to the bluetooth communication circuit, and the bluetooth communication circuit is further connected to the control circuit 11 to implement transmission of bluetooth signals, which is not limited herein.
Alternatively, the antennas in the antenna array 12 may be onboard antennas, or ceramic antennas, or dome antennas, or LDS antennas, and the like, which is not limited herein.
As can be seen from the above, the speaker device provided by the present invention receives the bluetooth positioning signal from the base station device through at least two antennas in the antenna array, so that the control circuit determines the relative orientation of the speaker device with respect to the base station device through the arrival angle of the bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna and the distance between each antenna, that is, the speaker device is positioned. By the method, the loudspeaker equipment has a positioning function; and the antenna array is combined with a positioning algorithm of the arrival angle of the Bluetooth positioning signal, so that the positioning accuracy is higher, and the loudspeaker equipment can have higher positioning accuracy.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In one embodiment, because the bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas in the antenna array 12 have phase differences, the bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas interfere with each other. In order to avoid mutual interference between the bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas, in the embodiment, the antennas of the antenna array 12 operate alternately in time division, that is, alternately in time division for receiving the bluetooth positioning signals from the base station device.
In view of this, the speaker device 1 in the present embodiment may further include an antenna changeover switch 13. The antenna switch 13 is connected to the control circuit 11 and is further connected to each antenna in the antenna array 12, and the control circuit 11 is configured to control each antenna in the antenna array 12 to alternately operate through the antenna switch 13, so that each antenna in the antenna array 12 alternately receives the bluetooth positioning signal from the base station device and respectively transmits the bluetooth positioning signal to the control circuit 11, so that the control circuit 11 performs positioning operation.
Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the manner of implementing the time-division alternate operation of the antennas of the antenna array 12 is not limited to the manner of the antenna changeover switch 13 described above. For example, the antennas in the antenna array 12 are directly connected to the control circuit 11, the control circuit 11 alternately selects bluetooth positioning signals received by different antennas for positioning operation, and the antennas other than the antenna selected by the control circuit 11 are set by the control circuit 11 to be inoperative, and the like, which is not limited herein.
Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, if the control circuit can identify the antenna corresponding to each bluetooth positioning signal when each antenna in the antenna array receives the bluetooth positioning signal at the same time, each antenna in the antenna array does not need to operate alternately in a time-sharing manner, and can be used for receiving the bluetooth positioning signal from the base station device at the same time, so that the use of the antenna switch can be at least reduced, which is beneficial to simplifying the circuit structure of the speaker device.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In an embodiment, the antenna array 12 includes a first antenna 122 and a second antenna 123. Positioning algorithms based on the angle of arrival of the antenna array 12 in combination with bluetooth positioning signals require that the antenna array 12 include at least two antennas. In the present embodiment, the antenna array 12 includes two antennas, namely, the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123, so that the antennas used by the antenna array 12 are minimized, the structure of the speaker device 1 can be simplified, the cost of the speaker device 1 can be reduced, and the positioning algorithm can be simplified.
Specifically, the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123 are respectively connected to the same antenna changeover switch 13. The fixed terminal 131 and the control terminal 132 of the antenna switch 13 are connected to the control circuit 11, the first selection terminal 133 of the antenna switch 13 is connected to the first antenna 122, and the second selection terminal 134 is connected to the second antenna 123. The control circuit 11 is configured to control the fixed end 131 to be alternately conducted with the first selection end 133 and the second selection end 134 through the control end 132, that is, the fixed end 131 and the first selection end 133, and the fixed end 131 and the second selection end 134 are alternately conducted in a time-sharing manner, so that the control circuit 11 is alternately conducted with the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123, that is, the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123 alternately receive bluetooth positioning signals from the base station device, so as to avoid mutual interference between the bluetooth positioning signals received by the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123.
Please refer to fig. 2. In alternative embodiments, the number of antennas 121 in the antenna array 12 is greater than or equal to two, e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. Each antenna 121 in the antenna array 12 is connected to an antenna switch 13, the fixed end 131 and the control end 132 of each antenna switch 13 are connected to the control circuit 11, and the selection end 135 of each antenna switch 13 is connected to the corresponding antenna 121, the control circuit 11 is configured to control the fixed end 131 and the selection end 135 of each antenna switch 13 to be alternately turned on through the control end 132 of each antenna switch 13, that is, control each antenna switch 13 to be alternately turned on, so that the antennas 121 connected to each antenna switch 13 are alternately turned on with the control circuit 11, that is, each antenna 121 in the antenna array 12 alternately receives bluetooth positioning signals from the base station device, so as to avoid mutual interference between the bluetooth positioning signals received by different antennas 121.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In one embodiment, after the user wears the speaker device 1, the speaker device 1 is in different states, that is, has different degrees of inclination; or different users wear the same loudspeaker device 1 due to the difference of individual physiological structures of the different users, and the loudspeaker device 1 is in different states and has different inclination degrees; or the user wears the speaker device 1 and is in a moving state, so that the speaker device 1 is in different states and has different inclination degrees. The tilt of the speaker device 1 may cause the antenna in the antenna array 12 to tilt, which further affects the angle of arrival of the bluetooth positioning signal received by the antenna, and affects the positioning accuracy.
In view of this, the speaker device 1 of the present embodiment further includes an acceleration sensor 14. The acceleration sensor 14 is connected to the control circuit 11, and is configured to measure an inclination angle of an antenna in the antenna array 12, where the measured inclination angle is used to compensate an arrival angle of a bluetooth positioning signal received by the antenna, so as to improve positioning accuracy.
Since the tilt of the antenna in the antenna array 12 is a spatial tilt, the tilt angle of the antenna in the antenna array 12 is defined as a vector difference between an angle between the antenna in the current state and a normal of a horizontal plane and an angle between the antenna in the target state and the normal of the horizontal plane. The acceleration sensor 14 measures an angle between the antenna in the current state and the normal of the horizontal plane, and compares the angle with a pre-stored angle (theoretical value) between the antenna in the target state and the normal of the horizontal plane, so as to obtain a vector difference between the angle between the antenna in the current state and the normal of the horizontal plane and the angle between the antenna in the target state and the normal of the horizontal plane, that is, the acceleration sensor 14 measures the tilt of the antenna in space, so as to compensate the arrival angle of the bluetooth positioning signal received by the antenna.
For example, the position a in fig. 3 indicates that the antenna 121 is in the target state, and the angle between the antenna 121 and the normal α of the horizontal plane in the target state is 0 ° as an example, that is, the antenna 121 and the normal α of the horizontal plane in the target state coincide with each other. The position B in fig. 3 indicates that the antenna 121 is in the current state, and the angle between the antenna 121 and the horizontal plane normal α in the current state is Δ θ, that is, the vector difference between the angle between the antenna 121 and the horizontal plane normal α in the current state and the angle between the antenna 121 and the horizontal plane normal α in the target state is Δ θ. Since Δ θ is a vector difference relationship, Δ θ may be a positive value or a negative value depending on the tilt direction of the antenna 121.
Alternatively, the acceleration sensor 14 may be at least one of a gravitational acceleration sensor, a three-axis acceleration sensor, and a gyroscope, which is not limited herein.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a positioning algorithm of a speaker device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The positioning algorithm for the antenna array in combination with the angle of arrival of the bluetooth positioning signals is generally described below.
The antenna array combines the location algorithm of the arrival angle of the bluetooth positioning signal, its basic principle is: based on the characteristics of the arrival angle of the Bluetooth positioning signal, accurate positioning is realized. The working process is as follows: the single antenna of the base station device transmits a special data packet (i.e., a bluetooth positioning signal) through bluetooth, and the speaker device receives the bluetooth positioning signal through a plurality of antennas arranged in an array. Because the distance between each antenna in the antenna array is different, the bluetooth positioning signals received by each antenna have phase difference. When switching among the antennas in the antenna array, an I & Q sample is obtained from the received Bluetooth positioning signals, the relative phase of each Bluetooth positioning signal is calculated, the angle of each antenna relative to the base station equipment is obtained, and then the relative direction of the loudspeaker equipment relative to the base station equipment can be obtained through a trilateration method.
Specifically, the number of antennas in the antenna array is n (n is greater than or equal to 2), and the phase of each antenna in the antenna array when receiving the bluetooth positioning signal is nAnd the distance between the antennas is di,j(i, j ═ 1,2,3 … n), the tilt angle of the antennas in the antenna array is Δ θ, and the wavelength of the bluetooth positioning signal is λ.
Then, the phase difference when the bluetooth positioning signal is received between the antennas in the antenna array is:
as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 illustrates how to obtain the incident angle of the bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna in the antenna array by using the two antennas in the above-mentioned embodiment as an example, through the phase difference when the bluetooth positioning signal is received between each antenna in the antenna array. The arrival angle (i.e., the incident angle) of the bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna in the antenna array is defined as an included angle between the propagation direction of the bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna in the antenna array and the normal of the horizontal plane.
The difference between the distances from the bluetooth positioning signal to the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123 is: p is d sin ψ, d is the distance between the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123, wherein the propagation direction of the bluetooth positioning signal is shown by the arrow S in fig. 5.
The wavelength of the bluetooth positioning signal is: λ is c/f, c is the speed of light, and f is the carrier frequency.
Is the phase difference between the bluetooth positioning signals received by the first antenna 122 and the second antenna 123, then
Namely, it isTherefore, it is not only easy to use
That is, the incident angle of the Bluetooth positioning signal received by the antenna is
Therefore, the general formula for calculating the incident angle of the bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna in the antenna array is:where Δ θ is the tilt angle of the antenna in the antenna array measured by the acceleration sensor 14, and the expression delta theta is used for compensating the incidence angle of the Bluetooth positioning signals received by each antenna in the antenna array, and the arrival angle of the Bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas is also compensated.
Please continue to refer to fig. 4. Based on the above calculation process, the relative orientation of the speaker device with respect to the base station device can be obtained by trilateration, which specifically includes:
according to the formulaCalculating to obtain a complementary angle theta of the incident angle of the Bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna in the antenna arrayi(i ═ 1,2,3 … n). Then, the distance from each antenna in the antenna array to the base station device is: di=di,i+1*tanθi+1/cosθi*(tanθi-tanθi+1) And further determining the relative orientation of the loudspeaker device relative to the base station device through the arrival angle of the Bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas and the distance between the antennas.
It should be noted that the distances between adjacent antennas in the antenna array may be equal, so that d is the same as abovei,jThe method is a fixed value, thereby reducing the computation amount of the positioning algorithm of the embodiment. Moreover, the distance between adjacent antennas in the antenna array is less than 1/(n-1) of the wavelength of the bluetooth positioning signal, so that the phase of the bluetooth positioning signal received by each antenna in the antenna array is within one wavelength of the bluetooth positioning signal, and the situation that the phases of the bluetooth positioning signals received by different antennas are the same can be avoided, and the execution of a positioning algorithm is influenced.
The relative orientation of the loudspeaker device with respect to the base station device includes the relative angle and relative distance of the loudspeaker device with respect to the base station device.
Further, the relative angle of the speaker device with respect to the base station device is an average value of the arrival angles of the bluetooth positioning signals received by the antennas in the antenna array. The relative distance between the loudspeaker device and the base station device is the average value of the distances from the antennas in the antenna array to the base station device. That is to say, according to the calculation results of the arrival angle corresponding to each antenna and the distance from each antenna to the base station device, the average value is used to describe the relative angle and the relative distance of the speaker device with respect to the base station device, so as to describe the relative orientation of the speaker device with respect to the base station device more accurately, which is beneficial to improving the positioning accuracy of the speaker device.
Of course, since the distance between the antennas in the antenna array is far smaller than the distance between the speaker device and the base station device relative to the distance between the speaker device and the base station device, the arrival angle corresponding to each antenna in the antenna array and the distance between each antenna and the base station device are very small. In other embodiments of the present invention, the angle of arrival corresponding to any antenna in the antenna array and the distance from the antenna to the base station device may be used to describe the relative angle and the relative distance of the speaker device with respect to the base station device, which is not limited herein.
Please continue to refer to fig. 1. In an embodiment, the speaker device 1 further includes a microphone 151 and a speaker 152. The microphone 151 and the speaker 152 are respectively connected to the control circuit 11, and are used for the user to normally use the speaker device 1, including listening to a call, listening to music, and the like. The speaker device 1 of the present embodiment can be used for daily use while having a positioning function, and meets the user's demand. The speaker device 1 further includes a battery 161 and an interface 162, the battery 161 and the interface 162 are respectively connected to the control circuit 11, the battery 161 is used for supplying power to the speaker device 1, and the interface 162 may be a Type-C interface or the like, and is used for charging the battery of the speaker device 1. The speaker device 1 further includes a key assembly 17 and an LED lamp set 18, and the key assembly 17 and the LED lamp set 18 are respectively connected to the control circuit 11.
