Detailed Description

In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the described exemplary embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the described embodiments may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In the described exemplary embodiments, well known structures or processing steps have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

The blocks within each block diagram shown below may be implemented by hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof to implement the principles of the present disclosure. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the blocks described in each block diagram may be combined or divided into sub-blocks to implement the principles of the present disclosure.

The steps of the methods presented in this disclosure are intended to be illustrative. In some embodiments, the method may be accomplished with one or more additional steps not described and/or without one or more of the steps discussed. Furthermore, the order in which the steps of a method are illustrated and described is not intended to be limiting.

Currently, in some vehicles (especially high-end vehicles), a large display screen and a matched cinema system are sometimes arranged at the rear row of the vehicle, so that an experience similar to a private cinema is created for passengers. For example, when a large display screen of the rear row of a vehicle (hereinafter also referred to as a private cinema system) plays video or music, a driver or passenger in the front row may also hear sound from the large display screen of the rear row of the vehicle, which may adversely affect the driver, for example, distract the driver, cause the driver to be unable to hear the navigation announcement, and so forth. Therefore, normal driving of the driver may be affected and a decrease in safety of the vehicle running may be caused.

In the present disclosure, a method for independently controlling sound playback inside a vehicle is provided. According to the method of the present disclosure, the sound playback inside the vehicle can be independently controlled based on the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle. Specifically, for example, the playback of the corresponding audio devices separately provided inside the vehicle may be independently controlled based on in which region of the vehicle the audio unit inside the vehicle is required to generate sound. By the method of the present disclosure, the interaction between sounds generated in different areas of the vehicle may be reduced, thereby reducing adverse effects on the driver, for example.

Next, a system for independently controlling sound playback inside a vehicle according to some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described first with reference to fig. 1.

Fig. 1 is an exemplary block diagram of a system 100 for independently controlling sound playback inside a vehicle according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments, the system 100 may include an audio unit monitoring component 110, a category determination component 120, and an audio device control component 130. The audio unit monitoring section 110 may monitor whether an audio unit inside the vehicle is turned on. In the case where it is monitored by the audio unit monitoring section 110 that the audio unit inside the vehicle is turned on, the category determining section 120 may determine the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on. The acoustic device control section 130 may independently control the first group of acoustic devices and the second group of acoustic devices based on the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on, which is determined by the category determination section 120.

The operation of the various components shown in fig. 1 will be described in further detail below.

Fig. 2 is an exemplary flowchart illustrating a method 200 for independently controlling sound playback inside a vehicle according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210. At step S210, the audio unit monitoring section 110 may monitor whether an audio unit inside the vehicle is turned on, for example. Herein, the audio unit inside the vehicle refers to a unit that can emit sound inside the vehicle, for example, a navigation system, a driver assistance system (e.g., a lane departure warning system, a fatigue driving detection system, a parallel assistance system, etc.), an in-vehicle audio-visual system (e.g., a private cinema system herein), and the like. In some embodiments, the audio unit monitoring component 110 may monitor, for example, whether the private cinema system is turned on, whether the navigation system is turned on, and so forth.

Next, the method 200 proceeds to step S220. At step S220, in the case where it is monitored by the audio unit monitoring section 110 that the audio unit inside the vehicle is turned on at step S210, the category determining section 120 may determine the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on. In some embodiments, the categories of audio units inside the vehicle may include a first category and a second category. For example, the audio units of the first category of vehicle interiors may be audio units that only need to produce sound in a first region of the vehicle. In addition, for example, the audio unit inside the vehicle of the second category may be an audio unit that only needs to generate sound in the second region of the vehicle. Note that in this disclosure, the second region is different from the first region. In particular, the first region of the vehicle may be a front row region of a passenger car, and the second region may be a rear row region of the passenger car. Alternatively, the first area of the vehicle may be a cabin of a caravan, and the second area may be a bedroom of the caravan, a restaurant, or the like. It should be understood that the specific examples of the first and second regions described above are merely exemplary and not limiting, as long as the first and second regions are different regions in the vehicle.

Thus, as described above, in some embodiments, the audio unit of the first category of vehicle interior may be, for example, an audio unit that only needs to generate sound in the front-row area of a regular car, such as a navigation system, a lane departure warning system, or the like. In addition, in some embodiments, the audio units inside the second category of vehicles may be, for example, audio units that only need to produce sound in the rear-row area of a regular car, such as a private cinema system or the like.

It should be understood that the above examples of the audio units within the vehicle of the first category and the audio units within the vehicle of the second category are merely exemplary and not limiting, as long as the audio units within the vehicle of the first category and the audio units within the vehicle of the second category are audio units within the vehicle that produce sound in different regions of the vehicle.

For example, in some embodiments, in the case where it is monitored by the audio unit monitoring section 110 that the navigation system is turned on at step S210, since the navigation system is an audio unit that is only required to generate sound in the front-row area of the ordinary car, the category determining section 120 may determine that the category of the audio unit inside the turned-on vehicle is the first category described above. Further, for example, in the case where it is detected by the audio unit monitoring section 110 that the private cinema system is turned on at step S210, since the private cinema system is an audio unit that is only required to generate sound in the rear-row area of the ordinary car, the category determining section 120 may determine that the category of the audio unit inside the turned-on vehicle is the second category described above.

Next, the method 200 proceeds to step S230. At step S230, the acoustic device control section 130 may independently control the first group acoustic device and the second group acoustic device based on the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on, which is determined by the category determination section 120 at step S220. In some embodiments, the first set of audio devices and the second set of audio devices described above may be separately provided inside the vehicle and independently operable. For example, in some embodiments, a first set of audio devices may be installed in a first area of the vehicle. Further, in some embodiments, a second set of audio devices may be installed in a second area of the vehicle. It should be understood that the above-described installation locations of the audio device are merely exemplary and not limiting.

In some embodiments, in the case where the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on, determined by the category determining section 120 at step S220, is the first category, the acoustic device control section 130 controls to play via only the first group of acoustic devices. For example, in the case where the audio unit of the turned-on vehicle interior determined by the category determining section 120 at step S220 is a navigation system (i.e., the audio unit of the first category), the acoustic device control section 130 controls to play only via the acoustic devices installed in the first area (i.e., the first group of acoustic devices). Thus, unnecessary influence on the rear passengers can be reduced.

In some embodiments, in the case where the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on, determined by the category determining section 120 at step S220, is the second category, the acoustic device control section 130 controls to play via only the second group of acoustic devices. For example, in the case where the audio unit of the vehicle interior that is turned on, which is determined by the category determining section 120 at step S220, is a private cinema system (i.e., audio unit of the second category), the acoustic device control section 130 controls to play only via acoustic devices installed in the second area (i.e., acoustic devices of the second group). Thus, the adverse effect on the driver can be reduced.

With the above-described method 200, playback can be performed via the acoustic device installed in the area corresponding to the category of the audio unit in the vehicle interior that is turned on, based on the category of the audio unit in the vehicle interior that is turned on. For example, in the case where the audio unit of the vehicle interior that is turned on is an audio unit that is only required to generate sound in the first area of the vehicle (for example, the front-row area of the ordinary car), the playback may be performed only via the audio device (i.e., the first group of audio devices) that is installed in the first area of the vehicle (for example, the front-row area of the ordinary car). Further, for example, in the case where the audio unit of the vehicle interior that is turned on is an audio unit that is only required to generate sound in the second area of the vehicle (for example, the rear-row area of the ordinary car), it is possible to play only via the audio device (i.e., the second group of audio devices) that is installed in the second area of the vehicle (for example, the rear-row area of the ordinary car). In this way, mutual interference between sounds generated in different areas of the vehicle can be avoided, so that adverse effects on the driver can be reduced, and at the same time unnecessary effects on rear passengers can also be reduced.

Further, in some embodiments, the categories of audio units inside the vehicle may also include a third category. For example, the audio unit of the third category of vehicle interior may be an audio unit that is required to generate sound not only in a first region of the vehicle but also in a second region of the vehicle. As described above, in some embodiments, the first region of the vehicle may be a front-row region of the ordinary car and the second region of the vehicle may be a rear-row region of the ordinary car, and thus, the audio unit inside the vehicle of the third category may be an audio unit that is required to generate sound not only in the front-row region of the ordinary car but also in the rear-row region of the ordinary car, for example, a system for playing pure music, or the like.

In some embodiments, in the case where the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on, determined by the category determining section 120 at step S220, is the third category, the acoustic device control section 130 controls to play via the first set of acoustic devices and the second set of acoustic devices. For example, in the case where the audio unit of the vehicle interior determined to be turned on by the category determining section 120 at step S220 is a system for playing pure music (i.e., the audio unit of the third category), the acoustic device control section 130 controls to play via the acoustic device installed in the first area (i.e., the first group of acoustic devices) and the acoustic device installed in the second area (i.e., the second group of acoustic devices). In this way, the need for people in different areas to listen to music can be met simultaneously.

An exemplary block diagram of a system 100 for independently controlling sound playback inside a vehicle according to further embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to fig. 3. The system 100 corresponds to the system 100 of fig. 1, and may include a voice monitoring section 310, a position determining section 320, and a volume adjusting section 330 in addition to the audio unit monitoring section 110, the category determining section 120, and the acoustic device control section 130 shown in fig. 1. In fig. 3, the same portions as those in fig. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the system 100 may further include a voice monitoring component 310, a position determining component 320, and a volume adjusting component 330. The human voice monitoring unit 310 may monitor whether a person in the vehicle makes a sound. In the case where the sound is emitted by the person inside the vehicle, which is monitored by the human voice monitoring section 310, the position where the person inside the vehicle, which emits the sound, is located may be determined by the position determining section 320. The volume adjustment part 330 may adjust the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of acoustic devices or the second set of acoustic devices based on the position of the person inside the vehicle that emits the sound determined by the position determination part 320.

The operation of the various components shown in fig. 3 will be described in further detail below.

Fig. 4 is an exemplary flowchart illustrating a method 400 for independently controlling sound playback inside a vehicle according to further embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 4, the method 400 begins at step S410. At step S410, the human voice monitoring section 310 may monitor whether a person inside the vehicle makes a sound. For example, the human voice monitoring section 310 may monitor whether a person inside the vehicle emits sound by a microphone or the like installed inside the vehicle.

Next, the method 400 proceeds to step S420. In the case where the sound emission of the person inside the vehicle is monitored by the human voice monitoring section 310 at step S410, the position where the person inside the vehicle emitting the sound is located may be determined by the position determining section 320. For example, the position where the person inside the vehicle that emits the sound is located may be determined by the position determining section 320 by a known sound source localization method.

Next, the method 400 proceeds to step S430. At step S430, the volume adjustment part 330 may adjust the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of acoustic devices or the second set of acoustic devices based on the position of the person inside the vehicle that emitted the sound determined by the position determination part 320 at step S420. In some embodiments, in the case where the position of the person inside the vehicle that emits the sound determined by the position determining part 320 at step S420 is the first region of the vehicle, the volume adjusting part 330 may adjust the magnitude of the volume emitted by the second group of audio devices installed in the second region of the vehicle. For example, in the case where the position of the person in the interior of the vehicle that emits the sound determined by the position determining section 320 at step S420 is the front-row area of the ordinary car, if the personal cinema system located in the rear-row area of the ordinary car is playing video, the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the second group of sound devices installed in the rear-row area of the ordinary car can be adjusted by the sound volume adjusting section 320, thereby reducing the influence on the person that emits the sound located in the front-row area of the ordinary car.

In some embodiments, in the case where the position of the person inside the vehicle that emits the sound determined by the position determining part 320 at step S420 is the second region of the vehicle, the volume adjusting part 330 may adjust the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first group of acoustic devices. For example, in the case where the position of the person in the interior of the vehicle where the sound is emitted, which is determined by the position determining section 320 at step S420, is the rear-row area of the ordinary car, if the navigation system located in the front-row area of the ordinary car is playing voice navigation, the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the first group of sound devices installed in the front-row area of the ordinary car can be adjusted by the sound volume adjusting section 330, thereby reducing the influence on the person who is located in the rear-row area of the ordinary car where the sound is emitted.

In addition, in some embodiments, in the case where the position of the person inside the vehicle that emits the sound determined by the position determining section 320 at step S420 is both the first area and the second area of the vehicle, the volume adjusting section 330 may adjust the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first group of acoustic devices and the magnitude of the volume emitted by the second group of acoustic devices. For example, in the case where the position of the person in the vehicle interior where the sound is emitted, which is determined by the position determining section 320 at step S420, is both the front-row area and the rear-row area of the ordinary car, if the navigation system located in the front-row area of the ordinary car is playing voice navigation and the personal cinema system located in the rear-row area of the ordinary car is playing video, the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the first group of sound devices installed in the front-row area of the ordinary car and the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the second group of sound devices installed in the rear-row area of the ordinary car can be simultaneously adjusted by the sound volume adjusting section 330, thereby reducing the influence on the person in the vehicle interior where the sound is emitted.

By the above-described method 400, the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices or the second set of audio devices may be adjusted based on the location of the person within the vehicle that emits the sound. For example, it is possible to reduce the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by an acoustic device installed in another area of the vehicle when a person located in the certain area of the vehicle emits sound, thereby reducing the influence on the person emitting the sound.

In addition to the methods 200 and 400 described above, methods according to the present disclosure may also include monitoring the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices and the magnitude of the volume emitted by the second set of audio devices by, for example, a volume monitoring component, not shown, or the like. In some embodiments, for example, when the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices or the magnitude of the volume emitted by the second set of audio devices, which are monitored by the not-illustrated volume monitoring means, exceeds a predetermined threshold, the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices or the magnitude of the volume emitted by the second set of audio devices may be adjusted, for example, by the volume adjusting means 330 or other means described above.

In some embodiments, for example, when the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices monitored by the not-shown volume monitoring component exceeds, for example, 70 db, the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices may be adjusted, for example, by the volume adjustment component 330 described above, such that the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices is reduced to below 70 db, thereby avoiding adverse effects of excessive sound on personnel (particularly drivers) within the vehicle. In addition, for example, in some embodiments, when the sum of the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the first group of sound devices and the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the second group of sound devices, which are monitored by the not-shown sound volume monitoring means, exceeds, for example, 70 db, the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the first group of sound devices and the magnitude of the sound volume emitted by the second group of sound devices may be simultaneously adjusted, for example, by the above-described sound volume adjusting means 330, so that the sum of the magnitudes of the sound volumes is reduced to 70 db or less.

It should be understood that the predetermined threshold values herein are merely exemplary and not limiting. Different thresholds can be set according to actual requirements.

As described above, the present disclosure provides a system and method for independently controlling sound playback inside a vehicle. According to the system and method of the present disclosure, the audio playback inside the vehicle can be independently controlled based on the category of the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on. Specifically, for example, it is possible to play via an acoustic device installed in a corresponding area based on which area of the vehicle the audio unit inside the vehicle that is turned on is required to generate sound. Thus, mutual interference between sounds generated in different regions of the vehicle can be avoided, so that adverse effects on the driver can be reduced, and at the same time, unnecessary effects on rear passengers can also be reduced. According to the system and method of the present disclosure, the magnitude of the volume emitted by the first set of audio devices or the second set of audio devices may also be adjusted based on the location of the person within the vehicle that emits the sound, thereby reducing the impact on the person that emits the sound.
