Description

本発明は、新規のイヤホン装置に関し、より具体的には、電話使用時(通話時)において、使用者の好みの音楽・音声(BGM)を流しながらも、明瞭な(聞き取りやすい)通話が可能となる新規のイヤホン装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a novel earphone device, and more specifically, when using a telephone (during a call), it is possible to make a clear (easy-to-hear) call while playing the user's favorite music / voice (BGM). Regarding the new earphone device.

近年、スマートフォン、携帯電話などの電子端末を使用して電話をする際に、電子端末を持ちながら、耳に当てながら通話をするのではなく、イヤホン装置を使用した通話ができるハンズフリーキットが販売されている(特許文献1)。 In recent years, a hands-free kit has been sold that allows you to make a call using an earphone device instead of holding the electronic terminal and holding it against your ear when making a call using an electronic terminal such as a smartphone or mobile phone. (Patent Document 1).

このような通話形式(ハンズフリー通信)は、両手が使用できるため、利便性に優れており、通常、通話者の会話を第三者に聞かれないようにするため、イヤホン装置を用いて、通話が行われる。 Such a call format (hands-free communication) is convenient because it can be used with both hands, and usually, in order to prevent the caller's conversation from being heard by a third party, an earphone device is used. A call is made.

また、近年、電子端末は、音楽再生装置としての機能も備えている。使用者は、MP3など音声圧縮方式で所望の音声データ(音楽)を保存することにより、高品質の音楽を任意の時間・場所で再生することができる。 Further, in recent years, electronic terminals also have a function as a music playback device. The user can play high-quality music at any time and place by storing desired voice data (music) by a voice compression method such as MP3.

しかしながら、電子端末に音楽を再生している状態におけるハンズフリー通信では、通話の際に、音楽(BGM)のため、相手方からの音声(通話)が聞き取りにくく、BGMを流しながらの電話による通話は両立することが困難であった。 However, in hands-free communication in a state where music is being played on an electronic terminal, it is difficult to hear the voice (call) from the other party due to the music (BGM) during the call, and the telephone call while playing the BGM is not possible. It was difficult to achieve both.

そこで、本発明者は、従来のハンズフリー通信に使用されるイヤホン装置の構造を鋭意検討した。その結果、所定の音源保存部、電話信号受信部およびミキシング部を設け、更には電話信号受信部の電気信号単独を第一のイヤーピースに送信し、かつ、所定の混合音声信号を第二のイヤーピースに送信することで、従来の課題を解決できることを見出した。 Therefore, the present inventor has diligently studied the structure of the earphone device used for the conventional hands-free communication. As a result, a predetermined sound source storage unit, a telephone signal receiving unit, and a mixing unit are provided, and further, the electric signal of the telephone signal receiving unit alone is transmitted to the first earpiece, and the predetermined mixed audio signal is transmitted to the second earpiece. It was found that the conventional problem can be solved by sending to.

すなわち、本発明は、電話使用時(通話時)において、使用者の好みの音楽・音声(BGM)を流しながらも、明瞭な(聞き取りやすい)通話が可能となる新規のイヤホン装置を提供することを目的とする。 That is, the present invention provides a novel earphone device that enables a clear (easy-to-hear) call while playing the user's favorite music / voice (BGM) when using the telephone (during a call). With the goal.

図1は、本発明に係るイヤホン装置の一態様を示すための図である。FIG. 1 is a diagram for showing one aspect of the earphone device according to the present invention.

図2は、本発明に係るイヤホン装置において、音源の電気信号(S1)、電話信号(S2)および混合音声信号(S3)の送信経路を示すための図である。FIG. 2 is a diagram for showing a transmission path of a sound source electric signal (S1), a telephone signal (S2), and a mixed voice signal (S3) in the earphone device according to the present invention.

本発明に係るイヤホン装置は、図1に示されるように、2つのイヤーピース(第一のイヤーピース1aと第二のイヤーピース1b)と、後述する部品を収容する筐体部2と、電子端末(スマートフォン、携帯電話、タブレット端末など電話機能を有する電子端末)に接続するためのコネクタ部3とを有する。ここで、図1に示されるように、コネクタ部3と筐体部2とが、筐体部2と第一のイヤーピース1aとが、および筐体部2と第二のイヤーピース1bとが、ケーブル4によって接続されており、これらの間は電気的に接続され、後述する電気信号の通信ケーブルとして機能する。 As shown in FIG. 1, the earphone device according to the present invention includes two earpieces (first earpiece 1a and second earpiece 1b), a housing portion 2 for accommodating parts described later, and an electronic terminal (smartphone). , A connector unit 3 for connecting to an electronic terminal having a telephone function such as a mobile phone or a tablet terminal. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the connector portion 3 and the housing portion 2, the housing portion 2 and the first earpiece 1a, and the housing portion 2 and the second earpiece 1b are cables. It is connected by 4, and is electrically connected between them, and functions as a communication cable for an electric signal described later.

また、ケーブル4の材質は特に限定されず、一般的なケーブルの材質のもの(たとえば、銅線)が使用され、塩化ビニル等で被覆された被覆線が汎用される。 The material of the cable 4 is not particularly limited, and a general cable material (for example, copper wire) is used, and a covered wire coated with vinyl chloride or the like is widely used.

なお、筐体部2の材質は特に限定されず、たとえば、プラスチック製であることが一般的である。 The material of the housing portion 2 is not particularly limited, and is generally made of, for example, plastic.

図2は、本発明に係るイヤホン装置において、音源の電気信号(S1)、電話信号(S2)および混合音声信号(S3)の送信経路を示す。本図に示されるように、この経路は、筐体部2内部に備わる音源保存部2a、電話信号受信部2bおよびミキシング部2cにおけるものである。 FIG. 2 shows a transmission path of a sound source electric signal (S1), a telephone signal (S2), and a mixed voice signal (S3) in the earphone device according to the present invention. As shown in this figure, this path is in the sound source storage unit 2a, the telephone signal reception unit 2b, and the mixing unit 2c provided inside the housing unit 2.

前記音源保存部2aは、音楽、音声メッセージなど音源(音声データ)を保存し、保存された音源の電気信号S1を発信する機能を有する。ここで、音声データは、たとえば、MP3など一般的な音声圧縮方式で保存されていてもよい。
また、音源保存部2aは、USB等のコネクタ部を有し、外部から音声データを適宜入力したり、不要な音声データを削除したりできるように構成されていてもよい。また、早送り、巻き戻しなど操作ボタンを有していてもよい。
The sound source storage unit 2a has a function of storing sound sources (voice data) such as music and voice messages, and transmitting an electric signal S1 of the stored sound source. Here, the audio data may be stored by a general audio compression method such as MP3.
Further, the sound source storage unit 2a may have a connector unit such as a USB, and may be configured so that audio data can be appropriately input from the outside and unnecessary audio data can be deleted. Further, it may have operation buttons such as fast forward and rewind.

また、電話信号受信部2bは、電子端末(スマートフォン、携帯電話等)からコネクタ部3を介して電子端末の電話信号S2を受信する機能を有する。ここで、コネクタ部は、たとえば、ライトニング端子やUSBなど、電子端末の電話信号を送受信できるものであれば特に限定されるものではない。 Further, the telephone signal receiving unit 2b has a function of receiving the telephone signal S2 of the electronic terminal from the electronic terminal (smartphone, mobile phone, etc.) via the connector unit 3. Here, the connector portion is not particularly limited as long as it can transmit and receive telephone signals of an electronic terminal such as a lightning terminal and USB.

ミキシング部2cは、前記音源保存部2aから発信された音源(音声データ)の電気信号S1を、電話信号受信部2bに受信された電子端末の電話信号S2とをミキシングして混合音声信号S3を生成する。 The mixing unit 2c mixes the electric signal S1 of the sound source (voice data) transmitted from the sound source storage unit 2a with the telephone signal S2 of the electronic terminal received by the telephone signal receiving unit 2b to obtain the mixed audio signal S3. Generate.

図2に示されるように、音源の電気信号S1は、第一のイヤーピースに送信される一方で、混合音声信号S3は、第二のイヤーピースに送信される。すなわち、電気信号S1は、直接第一のイヤーピースに送信されるとともに、ミキシング部2cにおいて混合音声信号S3に変換されて第二のイヤーピースに送信されることになる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the sound source electrical signal S1 is transmitted to the first earpiece, while the mixed audio signal S3 is transmitted to the second earpiece. That is, the electric signal S1 is directly transmitted to the first earpiece, and is converted into the mixed audio signal S3 by the mixing unit 2c and transmitted to the second earpiece.

たとえば、第一のイヤーピースとして左耳用のイヤーピースに、所望のBGMの音声データの電気信号S1が送信されて、当該左耳用のイヤーピースからは、所望のBGMが流れ、対して、第二のイヤーピースとして右耳用のイヤーピースからは、混合音声信号S3が送信されて、当該右耳用のイヤーピースから、電話の相手方からの音声とともにBGMが流れることになる。なお、第一のイヤーピースおよび第二のイヤーピースには、それぞれ、電気信号S1および混合音声信号S3を音声に変換できる回路を有している。 For example, an electric signal S1 of voice data of a desired BGM is transmitted to an earpiece for the left ear as a first earpiece, and a desired BGM flows from the earpiece for the left ear, whereas a second earpiece is used. A mixed voice signal S3 is transmitted from the earpiece for the right ear as the earpiece, and BGM is played from the earpiece for the right ear together with the voice from the other party of the telephone. The first earpiece and the second earpiece each have a circuit capable of converting an electric signal S1 and a mixed audio signal S3 into audio.

また、本発明に係るイヤホン装置においては、筐体部2またはケーブル4など任意の位置において、マイクなどその他の部材を有していてもよい。 Further, in the earphone device according to the present invention, another member such as a microphone may be provided at an arbitrary position such as the housing portion 2 or the cable 4.

本発明によれば、電話使用時(通話時)において、使用者の好みの音楽・音声(BGM)を流しながらも、明瞭な(聞き取りやすい)通話が可能となる新規のイヤホン装置を提供できる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a new earphone device capable of making a clear (easy-to-hear) call while playing a user's favorite music / voice (BGM) when using a telephone (during a call).
