- FIG. 3 is an example of equalization applied by the apparatus in the absence of connected external speakers
- FIG. 4 shows the equalization correction applied to the equalization of FIG. 3 when the connection of external loudspeakers is detected.
- the idea underlying the invention is to integrate in the amplified electrical signal which is established at the external terminals and which is representative of the audio source read by the apparatus, a component having a so-called detection frequency which is greater than or equal to less than the audible frequencies, and to determine that loudspeakers are connected when a current having the frequency corresponding to the detection frequency, or more generally a frequency situated outside the audible frequency spectrum, is established between the terminals external.
- the system according to the invention which is schematically represented in FIG. 1 comprises a mobile reading terminal apparatus, marked with 1, associated with a fixed docking station marked by 2 in which the mobile device is engaged.
- the apparatus 1 comprises a reading unit 3 of an audio source, delivering two electrical signals, respectively on two channels 4g and 4d corresponding here to the right and left channels of a stereo source.
- the line 4g comprises an equalizer 6g receiving as input the left signal coming from the reader 3, and delivering the equalized signal to an amplifier 7g of the left channel.
- the amplified signal is applied on the one hand to a left speaker 8g which is integrated in the device 1, and on the other hand to an external connector 9g by which the device can not be connected to a left external speaker 11g that equips here the docking station 2.
- a speaker detection device for the left channel, marked 13g is interposed between the amplifier 7g and the external connector 9g.
- the right channel 4d is provided with an equalizer 6d, an amplifier 7d, a loudspeaker 8d, and a detection device 13d interposed between the amplifier 7d and the external connector 9d of Right Lane.
- the left external speaker 11g is electrically connected to the external connector 9g of the left channel via a left connector 12g equipping the docking station, and similarly, the speaker external right 11d is electrically connected to the right external connector 9d by a right connector 12d also equipping the docking station.
- the apparatus 1 also comprises a microprocessor or microcontroller 14, which communicates with the detection devices 13g and 13d, with the amplifiers 7g and 7d, and with the equalizers 6g and 6d, to drive them.
- a microprocessor or microcontroller 14 which communicates with the detection devices 13g and 13d, with the amplifiers 7g and 7d, and with the equalizers 6g and 6d, to drive them.
- Each amplifier 7g and 7d is a class D amplifier.
- Such an amplifier delivers a square amplitude fixed output signal at a so-called sampling frequency much higher than the frequencies of the audible spectrum.
- the amplifier modulates the duty cycle of this square signal as a function of the amplitude of the sound source signal being read. In other words, the duty cycle is high when the signal from the audio source is high, and this duty cycle is low when the signal from the audio source is low.
- the sampling frequency of the amplifier is much higher than the audible frequencies, the value of the output signal at a given instant corresponds to the value of the duty cycle at this time.
- the output signals of the left channel and the right channel each have a component whose frequency corresponds to the sampling frequency which is higher than the audible frequencies, and which here constitutes a so-called detection frequency.
- the electrical signal delivered by the amplifier 7g on the left channel 4g gives rise to an electric current of the same pace as this signal, this current flowing between the terminals. 9d connector being injected into the speaker 11g.
- the amplifiers of the apparatus are not class D, it is possible to inject into the output signal a component having a frequency situated outside the audible frequency spectrum, for example by means of a circuit or an additional electronic component connected to the output terminals of the device.
- the current injected into the speaker 11g when connected has a component whose frequency is the detection frequency .
- the detection of the effective connection of the loudspeaker 11g is provided by the detection device 13g which determines whether an electric current having a component whose frequency is close to the detection frequency, flows or not between the terminals of the connector 9g. The same is true of the detection of the effective connection of the loudspeaker 11d by the detection device 13d.
- the detection device is arranged to identify the existence of current components having frequencies outside the audible spectrum.
- This device can for example simply correspond to a high pass type filter to identify the currents having higher frequencies to the audible spectrum.
- the detection device 13g mainly comprises an inductor L1, an operational amplifier AO, a diode D and a capacitor identified by C.
- the left channel 4g comprises a first line 9g 'and a second line 9g "each connected to a corresponding output terminal of the connector 9g.
- the inductance L1 is interposed between two consecutive portions of the line 9g ", that is to say that it is connected in series in this line.
- the operational amplifier AO has its two inputs connected across the inductance L1, and its output connected to an output line 17g, through the diode D which is oriented to allow the current flow only in the outgoing direction of the operational amplifier.
- the capacitor C is connected on the one hand at the output of the diode D, and secondly at the line 9g '.
- the operational amplifier AO amplifies the voltage across the inductive coil L1, which is for example tuned to the detection frequency, and the diode D associated with the capacitor C form a detection circuit whose output 17g is directed towards the microcontroller 14
- the signal delivered on the output line 17g is thus representative of the connected or unconnected state of a loudspeaker on the external connector 9g.
- This signal has a large amplitude when an external speaker is connected to the connector 9g, and a substantially zero amplitude if no speaker is connected. Thanks to the diode D, the detection signal of the line 17g has only positive values.
- the left external loudspeaker 11g comprises a transducer 16g connected to the terminals of the connector 12g, and it is additionally equipped with an additional capacitor C1 connected between the terminals of the connector 12g.
- the values of the inductance L1 and of the capacitor C1 are chosen so as not to modify the bandwidth of the audio signal, since in practice the inductance L1 is worth a few microphones Henri, and the capacitance of the capacitor C1 which is optional is some nano Farad.
- the maximum frequency of the audible spectrum is 20 kHz, while the sampling frequency of the amplifier 7 g is 500 kHz.
- the output 17g of the detection device 3g is connected to the processor 14, as illustrated schematically in FIG. 1, and likewise with regard to the output of the detection device 13d.
- the microprocessor 14 is connected to the amplifiers 7g and 7d as well as to the equalizers 6g and 6d, so as to control them according to whether external speakers are connected or not.
- the microprocessor 14 drives the amplifiers 7g and 7d to substantially reduce the amplification gain applied to the audio source. This command avoids an increase in the sound volume of the audio source output, due to the connection of the external speakers, and thus improves the ergonomics of the system since the user does not have to perform this volume correction manually .
- the reading apparatus 1 and the docking station 2 are associated with each other, and the detection of the connection of the external loudspeakers 11g and 11d is used to adapt the equalization applied to the audio source when the external speakers are connected.
- the internal speakers and the external speakers have overlapping bandwidths.
- the internal speakers have a bandwidth that ranges from 250 Hz to 16 kHz
- the external speakers fitted to the docking station have a bandwidth ranging from 31 Hz to 500 kHz, the station of home then constituting a subwoofer.
- the apparatus 1 may be provided with an interface, for example a graphic interface, enabling it to adjust the gain of equalization by frequency band.
- External devices are then displayed in a way that allows the user to adjust them according to his taste.
- the microprocessor 14 corrects the existing equalization so as to compensate for the fact that the bandwidths of the internal and external loudspeakers overlap. Specifically, the microprocessor 14 then controls the equalizers 6g and 6d to lower by 2 dB the gains of frequencies 250 Hz to 500 Hz which correspond to the area of overlap bandwidth of the internal and external speakers.
- the detection of the actual connection of external speakers can be exploited to adapt the signal processing parameters to the typology of the speakers through which the sound source is broadcast, or to inform the user of faults. connection.
- the detection is advantageously implemented on each output of the apparatus intended to be connected to a loudspeaker, which notably makes it possible to inform the user, via the interface of the reading apparatus, of a defect of connection with regard to the external speakers.
- the invention is applied to a mobile device designed to cooperate with a fixed station, but the invention applies to other types of devices. It applies in a general way to the devices of audio reproduction and possibly video portable type such as phones, electronic organizers, laptops, which are associated with fixed stations to improve the quality of sound reproduction.
- the invention also applies to audio reproduction devices such as televisions, DVD players or the like which have one or more audio outputs to loudspeakers.
- the invention also applies to systems in which the audio reproduction device for which the connection to the speakers is difficult to access, such as for example in a motor vehicle or in an auditorium, where the invention makes it possible to detect the breaking of the connection to a speaker.
