Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous technical effects to be solved by the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and a plurality of exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Fig. 1 illustrates a workflow diagram of a method for controlling in-vehicle multimedia playback according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The following exemplary examples describe the method according to the invention in more detail.
The method may comprise steps S1 to S3. In step S1, the signal strength of the received first multimedia signal is detected, and it is determined whether the signal strength of the first multimedia signal is lower than a preset first signal strength threshold. In the present embodiment of the invention, the in-vehicle multimedia system 1 comprises, inter alia, an in-vehicle multimedia unit 11 configured for receiving a first multimedia signal and playing back a first multimedia content based on the received first multimedia signal. The in-vehicle multimedia unit 11 comprises, for example, an in-vehicle radio or other in-vehicle audio player. Here, the first multimedia signal received through the in-vehicle multimedia unit 11 may include not only broadcast signals such as a frequency modulation broadcast signal, an amplitude modulation broadcast signal, a digital audio broadcast signal, and/or a digital video broadcast signal, on the basis of which a corresponding broadcast program can be played as the first multimedia content, but also mobile network signals transmitted through, for example, the global system for mobile communications GSM, the universal mobile telecommunications system UMTS, the 3G communication network, the 4G communication network, the 5G communication network, and the like, on the basis of which an audio program or a video program or the like buffered and/or downloaded from the server can be played as the first multimedia content.
A weak signal region is often encountered during driving of a vehicle, and may be a tunnel section, a mountain section, an underground garage, or the like, which causes difficulty in signal reception. After the vehicle enters the weak signal region, the signal strength of the first multimedia signal received through the vehicle-mounted multimedia unit 11 is detected by means of the signal detection unit 12, and it is judged whether the signal strength of the first multimedia signal is lower than a preset first signal strength threshold. In the sense of the present invention, the setting of the first signal strength threshold is based on the following principle: when the signal strength of the first multimedia signal is lower than the first signal strength threshold, human-recognizable noise exists in the first multimedia content played by the vehicle-mounted loudspeaker based on the first multimedia signal, wherein the noise is especially noise with equal noise power spectral densities, namely random noise with constant power spectral densities, contained in frequency bands with equal bandwidths in a specific frequency range. It will be appreciated that the noise may seriously affect the experience of the first multimedia content and may cause discomfort or even annoyance to the person in the vehicle.
If the signal strength of the first multimedia signal is lower than a preset first signal strength threshold, in step S2, it is determined whether noise exists in the first multimedia content played based on the first multimedia signal based on the analysis processing of the detected sound signal in the vehicle cabin. Here, the sound signal in the cabin can be detected by the sound detection unit 13, which sound detection unit 13 comprises, for example, a microphone arranged in the cabin. Noise in the first multimedia content may be identified by spectral analysis of the detected sound signal in the cabin. It will be appreciated that the frequency spectrum of noise generated by the speaker based on the first multimedia signal having a lower signal strength is within a specific broad frequency spectrum range, which is a large difference from the broad frequency spectrum range in which the frequency spectrum of sound emitted by an in-vehicle person or other vehicle component (e.g., engine) is located. For example, the detected sound signals in the vehicle cabin may be subjected to a spectral analysis by means of a convolutional neural network, which has been trained in advance by a sufficient number of relevant sound signals and thus the noise generated by the loudspeaker may be robustly identified based on the spectral analysis, and the noise present in the first multimedia content may be identified based on the result of the spectral analysis. In this way, the signal strength determination result of step S1 can be subjected to the reliability check, thereby improving the determination accuracy.
If the first multimedia content has noise, that is, if the result of the credibility check is credibility, in step S3, the playing of the first multimedia content may be stopped, and a preset second multimedia content may be played. Here, the second multimedia content pre-stored in the vehicle may be set based on the user preference information, wherein the second multimedia content includes audio items including songs, melodies, and/or language audio programs, etc. Alternatively, the user may set only one audio item based on the preference information and play the audio item in a loop; the user may also set a plurality of audio items based on the preference information to form a playlist, and play the audio items in the order of the playlist.
In view of the fact that the short-range wireless communication technology (e.g., bluetooth technology) has been popularly applied to the in-vehicle apparatus, it is also possible to optionally establish a short-range wireless communication connection of the in-vehicle system with a mobile terminal (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.) of an in-vehicle user after stopping playing the first multimedia content, and play one or more audio items set and pre-stored in the mobile terminal based on user preference information.
According to the embodiment of the invention, after a vehicle enters a weak signal area, the reliability check of the noise is executed based on the analysis processing of the sound signal in the vehicle cabin under the condition that the noise appears in the played multimedia content, and the preset second multimedia content is switched to play under the condition that the check result is reliable, so that the trouble of the noise on the personnel in the vehicle can be avoided, meanwhile, the watching or listening of the multimedia content by the personnel in the vehicle is avoided as much as possible by means of the reliability check, and the user experience of the vehicle-mounted multimedia system is effectively improved.
Fig. 2 shows a workflow diagram of a method for controlling an in-vehicle multimedia play according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Only the differences from the embodiment shown in fig. 1 are explained below, and the same steps are not repeated for the sake of brevity.
The method may further comprise step S4. In step S4, a notification message about the low signal strength of the first multimedia signal may be sent to a user (including a driver and/or a passenger) in the cabin, thereby informing that the vehicle is currently driving into a weak signal area and thus that the first multimedia content cannot be continuously played. The corresponding acoustic notification information may be transmitted to the driver and/or the passenger in the vehicle cabin by, for example, an in-vehicle voice device, or the corresponding optical notification information may be transmitted to the driver and/or the passenger in the vehicle cabin by, for example, a center control display, a dashboard, a head-up display, or the like. By the method, the doubt that the multimedia content cannot be normally played by personnel in the vehicle can be timely eliminated, and therefore user experience of the vehicle-mounted multimedia system is further improved.
Fig. 3 shows a workflow diagram of a method for controlling an in-vehicle multimedia play according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Only the differences from the embodiment shown in fig. 1 are explained below, and the same steps are not repeated for the sake of brevity.
The method may further comprise steps S5 and S6. In step S5, the signal strength of the received first multimedia signal is detected, and it is determined whether the signal strength of the first multimedia signal is higher than a preset second signal strength threshold. In the presently alternative embodiment of the present invention, the signal strength of the received first multimedia signal may be detected in spite of having stopped playing the first multimedia content, thereby judging whether the vehicle exits the weak signal area. The second signal strength threshold may be set to be the same as the first signal strength threshold or may be set to be different from the first signal strength threshold.
If the signal strength of the first multimedia signal is higher than a preset second signal strength threshold, which means that the vehicle has driven out of the weak signal area, the playing of the second multimedia content may be stopped and the playing of the first multimedia content may be resumed based on the received first multimedia signal in step S6. In particular, the playback of the first multimedia content can be resumed automatically on the basis of the previous playback setting parameters of the user with respect to the first multimedia content, so that the cumbersome process of setting the playback parameters repeatedly by the user is avoided.
In addition, it should be noted that the sequence numbers of the steps described herein do not necessarily represent a sequential order, but are merely a reference number, and the order may be changed according to circumstances as long as the technical object of the present invention can be achieved.
