  The sound source selection unit 101 selects sound source data to be reproduced by the reproduction unit 103 from a plurality of sound source data stored in the storage 9. Specifically, for example, sound source data is selected based on an operation input from the user to the touch screen display 2 or based on an instruction from a predetermined application.

  The sound source type reception unit 102 receives an input for specifying the type for each of the sound source data stored in the storage 9 and stores the input in association with the sound source data. This type indicates, for example, sound source data for tinnitus reduction. The sound source data for tinnitus reduction is sound data for accustoming a user to a state where tinnitus occurs, for example, called a masker sound.

  The reproduction unit 103 reproduces the sound of the sound source data selected by the sound source selection unit 101 and provides the sound to the mixing unit 105.

Set the attached mode.
The mode setting by the mode setting unit 108 may be performed at a predetermined timing or periodically.

The mode determination unit 109 determines which mode the smartphone 1 is currently set to by the mode setting unit 108 among a plurality of modes provided in advance.
The plurality of modes include a tinnitus reduction mode that is a mode in which the reproduction unit 103 reproduces the above-described sound source data for tinnitus reduction. In the tinnitus reduction mode, the mixing unit 105 mixes the sound collected by the sound collection unit 104 with the sound reproduced by the reproduction unit 103.

  The plurality of modes includes a first movement mode in which it is desired to hear surrounding sounds, such as jogging, walking, or driving a vehicle. In the first movement mode, the mixing unit 105 mixes the sound collected by the sound collection unit 104 with the sound reproduced by the reproduction unit 103.

  The plurality of modes include a second movement mode in which it is not necessary to listen to sounds other than the surrounding special sounds (for example, an announcement sound of a train, etc.) because the vehicle is in a vehicle. In the second movement mode, when the sound collected by the sound collection unit 104 is large, the mixing unit 105 performs a mixing amount on the sound reproduced by the reproduction unit 103, while the collected sound is small. Sometimes, the mixing of the reproduced sound is not performed or the ratio is reduced. Thus, for example, when a user is on a train, a sound that is estimated to be relatively loud, such as an announcement sound, is mixed, and is smaller than an announcement sound that is estimated to be unnecessary noise. Is not mixed.

  FIG. 6 shows the magnitude of the sound obtained by removing the reproduced sound from the sounds mixed by the mixing unit 105, that is, the sounds output from the earphones, with respect to the loudness of the sound input to the microphone 8 and collected. FIG.

In the case of the tinnitus reduction mode or the first movement mode, the magnitude of the output is proportional to the magnitude of the input as indicated by a broken line.
On the other hand, in the second movement mode, as shown by the solid line, when the collected sound is reduced, the amount of mixing is reduced, and when the collected sound is less than the predetermined value A1, Not mixed.

The mixing ratio update unit 110 updates the setting data in which the ratio of the mixing amount according to the volume of the collected sound is predetermined based on an instruction input from the user.
Specifically, for example, as indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 6, the mixing ratio update unit 110 does not mix the collected sound when the input becomes a predetermined value A2 or less in the second movement mode. Such adjustment is performed based on the user's instruction input, and the setting data is updated.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process of reproducing sound source data in the smartphone 1.

  In step S1, the controller 10 determines whether or not to output the reproduced sound to the earphone. Specifically, the controller 10 determines whether or not the earphone 19 is connected to the external interface 14. If this determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S2, and if the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S2, the mode determination unit 109 of the controller 10 determines whether or not the smartphone 1 is currently in a specific mode in which external sound should be mixed. If this determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S3, and if the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S3, the controller 10 activates the sound collection function. Then, the sound collection unit 104 starts collecting external sounds.

  In step S <b> 4, the controller 10 activates the mixing unit 105 and performs a setting for mixing the collected sound with respect to the reproduced sound of the sound source data. At this time, the mode determination unit 109 determines the current mode of the smartphone 1 and determines the mixing amount.

  In step S5, the reproduction unit 103 of the controller 10 reproduces the sound source data. If mixing is set in step S4, the collected sound is mixed with the reproduced sound and output from the earphone.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the smartphone 1 mixes the sound collected from the outside with the reproduced sound of the sound source data and outputs the sound to the earphone 19. Therefore, the user can hear surrounding sounds while listening to music such as music or a masking sound for reducing tinnitus with the earphone 19.
For example, the user can listen to music while listening to music while walking, and can move with peace of mind. In addition, since the user can hear the surrounding sound while reproducing the masking sound for tinnitus treatment, the concern that the daily life is disturbed without a sense of incongruity is reduced. In addition, the user can listen to the announcement while listening to music on a train or bus.

  The smartphone 1 can arbitrarily select a playback sound from a plurality of sound source data stored in the storage 9. For example, in a device for reducing tinnitus, white noise having a predetermined pattern is usually used, but the user of the smartphone 1 can obtain the same effect using arbitrary sound source data.

  In addition, since the smartphone 1 adjusts the volume of the sound to be mixed according to the volume of the collected sound, unnecessary sounds for the user can be omitted and improvement in convenience can be expected.

  Moreover, the smart phone 1 can provide a plurality of modes in advance and adjust the mixing amount according to the current mode. For example, the smartphone 1 can determine an appropriate mixing amount according to the volume of the collected sound according to each of the tinnitus reduction mode, the first movement mode, and the second movement mode.

The smartphone 1 can set the mode based on the type of sound source data. Therefore, when the user selects sound source data, for example, the smartphone 1 specifies that the sound source data is for tinnitus reduction, and appropriate mixing is performed without the user performing a mode switching operation.
Furthermore, since the smartphone 1 can accept the type of sound source data from the user, the user can add an arbitrary sound source for a specific application.

  Moreover, since the smart phone 1 can set a mode by estimating a moving state based on acceleration information, positioning information, or both, appropriate mixing is performed without a user performing a mode switching operation.

  Further, since the smartphone 1 can update the ratio of the mixing amount with respect to the collected sound based on the instruction input, it can perform appropriate mixing according to the user's preference.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not restricted to embodiment mentioned above. Further, the effects described in the embodiments of the present invention only list the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in the above-described embodiments. Absent.

  The configuration of the smartphone 1 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is an example, and may be changed as appropriate within a range that does not impair the gist of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the volume of the mixed sound output from the earphone 19 is changed according to the volume of the collected sound has been presented. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. .
For example, the smartphone 1 may change the volume of sound to be mixed output from the earphone 19 according to the volume of sound source data output from the earphone 19. Specifically, when the volume of sound based on the sound source data output from the earphone 19 is small, the user listens to the external sound through the earphone 19 even when the earphone 19 is closed. Therefore, the smartphone 1 may not mix the external sound and output it from the earphone 19.

  Moreover, although the above-mentioned embodiment demonstrated the smart phone as an example of an electronic device, an electronic device is not limited to a smart phone. For example, the electronic device may be a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone, a portable personal computer, a digital camera, a media player, an electronic book reader, a navigator, or a game machine. The electronic device may be a stationary electronic device such as a desktop personal computer or a television receiver.

The plurality of modes includes a tinnitus reduction mode,
In the mixing step, in the tinnitus reduction mode, the external sound collected in the sound collection step is mixed with the reproduced sound reproduced by the reproducing unit regardless of the magnitude of the external sound. Yes Sound output method. A sound output method in which an electronic device including a reproduction unit that reproduces sound source data outputs sound,
Collecting steps;
A mixing step of mixing the external sound collected in the sound collecting step with respect to the reproduced sound reproduced by the reproducing unit;
An output step for outputting the sound mixed in the mixing step as an output sound,
Including a determination step of determining which mode among a plurality of modes provided in advance;
In the mixing step, the volume of the external sound mixed with the playback sound is adjusted according to the volume of the external sound collected in the sound collection step and the mode determined in the determination step. And
The plurality of modes include a first movement mode and a second movement mode,
In the mixing step, in the first movement mode, the external sound collected in the sound collection step is compared with the reproduced sound reproduced by the reproduction unit regardless of the magnitude of the external sound. In the second movement mode, when the external sound collected in the sound collection step is small, the mixing ratio with respect to the reproduced sound reproduced by the reproducing unit is reduced.
