Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a speaker apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the speaker device 100 may include a speaker 1 and a sound cavity bracket 2, wherein the speaker 1 is mounted on the sound cavity bracket 2, the sound cavity bracket 2 may be used to form a first sound cavity 21 and a second sound cavity 22 of the speaker device 100, and when the speaker device 100 is mounted at a preset position of an electronic apparatus, the first sound cavity 21 may be disposed toward a sound outlet 201 on a housing 200 of the electronic apparatus, and the sound outlet 201 may transmit sound emitted from the speaker device 100 to a human ear through air; the speaker device 100 may further include a switch module 3, where the switch module 3 is located on a wall of the second sound cavity 22, specifically, the switch module 3 may be disposed in an area of the sound cavity support 2 for forming the second sound cavity 22, as shown in fig. 2a, when the switch module 3 is in a closed state, the second sound cavity 22 is a closed cavity, and at this time, the speaker device 100 may be configured to play a playback sound, such as a video sound, a game sound, and the like, and may also play a hands-free voice in a voice call or a video call, and the like; as shown in fig. 2b, when the switch module 3 is in the on state, the second sound cavity 22 may be conducted with the inside of the electronic device, in other words, at this time, the second sound cavity 22 may be expanded to the inner space of the whole electronic device or even the outer space of the electronic device, so as to improve the low frequency sound effect of the speaker device 100, and is used to implement the earphone function of the electronic device to play the voice signal during the handheld call.

In the present embodiment, the first sound cavity 21 and the second sound cavity 22 may have various structural forms according to structural differences of the sound cavity holder 2.

In an embodiment, still taking the embodiment shown in fig. 1 as an example, the sound cavity may be formed inside the sound cavity bracket 2 itself, and after the speaker 1 is assembled in the sound cavity bracket 2, the sound cavity may be divided into the first sound cavity 21 and the second sound cavity 22, and then the sound cavity may be integrally assembled to a main board of an electronic device, which facilitates modularization of the speaker apparatus 100 and simplifies assembly processes. Of course, in order to achieve complete separation between the first sound cavity 21 and the second sound cavity 22, sealing may be achieved by foam, adhesive tape, or the like, so as to prevent the audio frequencies in the first sound cavity 21 and the second sound cavity 22 from canceling each other.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the sound cavity holder 2 may be an open structure and may be blocked into the first portion and the second portion when the speaker 1 is assembled to the sound cavity holder 2. When the sound cavity bracket 2 is connected to the main board of the electronic device, any one of the parts, the main board 202 and the loudspeaker 1 can enclose the second sound cavity 32, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the sound cavity bracket 2.

In the above embodiments, the speaker device 100 may be disposed in any area of the electronic apparatus. For example, the speaker device 100 may be disposed in a top earpiece region of an electronic device to replace a conventional earpiece module, and in one case, may replace a sound emitting module disposed at the bottom of the electronic device, so as to save an inner space of the electronic device, reduce openings in an outer appearance, and facilitate improvement of an overall aesthetic property of the electronic device. In another case, as shown in fig. 4, the bottom microphone area of the electronic device may be provided with the sound emitting module 203, so that when the switch module 3 is in the off state, a stereo sound effect may be created, and user experience may be improved, and when the switch module 3 is in the on state, the speaker device 100 may implement an earphone function for playing a voice signal during a handheld call.

Based on the electronic device with the built-in speaker device 100, the present disclosure also provides a sound effect adjusting method, as shown in fig. 5, the method may include the following steps:

in step 501, an audio playing instruction for the electronic device is received.

In this embodiment, the audio playing instruction may be an operation instruction generated by a user clicking a physical key of the electronic device, or the audio playing instruction may be an operation instruction generated by presetting a position of a function page or triggering a virtual key on the function page. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the preset function page may include a call interface, and if the user clicks or slides an "answer" button on the call interface to perform a call, the audio playing instruction may be generated. For another example, as shown in fig. 7, when the preset function page is a music playing interface, if the user clicks a "play" button to play music, the audio playing instruction may be generated.

In step 502, an audio playing mode corresponding to the audio playing instruction is determined.

In this embodiment, the audio playback mode may include a speaker mode and an earpiece mode. Still taking the embodiment shown in fig. 7 as an example, the audio playing mode corresponding to the audio playing instruction generated by the user triggering the electronic device 300 to play music is the speaker mode; as shown in fig. 8, the audio playing mode corresponding to the audio playing instruction generated by the user during the voice call of the handheld electronic device 300 is the earphone mode.

In step 503, according to the corresponding relationship between the audio playing mode and the on-off state of the switch module of the electronic device, the switch module is adjusted to the corresponding state so that the second cavity of the speaker device is in the corresponding state.

In this embodiment, when the audio playing mode is the speaker mode, the switch module 3 may be adjusted to the off state to seal the second sound cavity 22, so as to increase the low-frequency resonant frequency of the second sound cavity 22, and at this time, the speaker module 100 may be used to play a playback sound, such as a video sound, a game sound, and the like, and may also play a hands-free voice in a voice call or a video call. When the audio playing mode is the earphone mode, the switch module 3 is adjusted to the on state, so that the second sound cavity 22 is conducted with the internal space of the electronic device, thereby reducing the low-frequency resonant frequency of the second sound cavity 22, and at this time, the speaker module 100 can be used for playing the voice signal in the handheld communication process.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 9, when the user triggers the "hands-free" or "external" virtual button on the call interface during the handheld call, the electronic device 300 may generate an audio playing instruction again, and the audio playing mode corresponding to the audio playing instruction is the speaker mode, so that the switch module 3 may be switched to the off state, and the voice signal during the hands-free process is played through the speaker device 100.

As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, in the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 may adjust the on-off state of the switch module 3 according to the current audio playing mode, so that the speaker device 100 may respectively implement a speaker function or an earphone function in a corresponding application scenario.
