Devices for multimedia reproduction of such vehicles generally require manual operation of the driver, such as pressing a direct button of the driver, to adjust the volume.
2. Description of the Related Art [0002] In recent years, multimedia playback apparatuses for automobiles employing a method of automatically controlling the volume in accordance with a change in the speed of an automobile have become popular. For example, the system detects the speed of the vehicle and increases the volume when the car speed is high, and decreases the volume when the car speed is slow.
The multimedia device that automatically adjusts the volume according to the speed change of the automobile does not require the manual operation of the driver, thereby providing convenience during driving. In addition, since the driver can maintain the forward looking state, it is effective to prevent a traffic accident.
However, the device that adjusts the volume only considering the speed of the vehicle does not consider the current volume state of the multimedia sound, and does not consider the noise inside the vehicle. There is a problem that the quality of the multimedia sound can not be guaranteed only by the volume control without analyzing in the frequency domain for the noise.
Therefore, we propose a method to improve the multimedia sound quality by adjusting the volume of the vehicle based on the speed of the vehicle, considering the noise level in the vehicle and the volume level of the current multimedia sound in the frequency domain.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an apparatus and various methods to which embodiments of the present invention are applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The suffix "module" and " part "for the components used in the following description are given or mixed in consideration of ease of specification, and do not have their own meaning or role.
In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.
The noise frequency causes frequency interference to the multimedia sound to be reproduced, thereby undermining the original multimedia sound. Damaged sound degrades the quality of the multimedia sound. That is, a problem of sound quality deterioration of multimedia sound due to noise occurs.
Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the amplifier may amplify and output the multimedia frequency band to compensate for the frequency interference, thereby improving the quality of the sound quality.
Here, the amplifier analyzes the noise frequency band based on the noise information, the volume state information, and the virtual engine sound information during driving, and amplifies and outputs the frequency band adaptively according to the frequency characteristics of the noise frequency band.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for improving sound quality during a driving according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.
In a method for improving sound quality during driving, an amplifier collects information to analyze the frequency band of the entire noise. Noise information from a microphone, volume status information from a head unit, and virtual engine tone information from a virtual engine tone generator (S110).
The amplifier calculates the overall gain of the noise frequency band based on the collected noise information, volume state information, and virtual engine sound information (S120).
The amplifier analyzes the entire gain of the frequency band of the noise and calculates a first band corresponding to the noise frequency band whose gain is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value and amplifies the second band corresponding to the first band in the multimedia frequency band, And outputs it (S130).
Interference may occur with the frequency of the multimedia sound to be reproduced in the first band in which the gain value is higher than the specific reference value in the noise frequency band. Therefore, by amplifying and outputting the second band corresponding to the first band in the multimedia frequency band, it is possible to compensate for noise interference.
The specific reference value for the gain value can be set in advance and can be set differently depending on the situation.
FIG. 2 is a graph of a noise frequency region for calculating a frequency region to be amplified in a method for improving sound quality during a running according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The X axis corresponds to the frequency (Hz) and the Y axis corresponds to the gain value (decibel, dB). And a plurality of curves means a gain value according to the current volume state.
Referring to FIG. 2, it can be confirmed that a high gain value is obtained in a specific frequency band of noise. Therefore, it is necessary to amplify the frequency band of the multimedia sound for the frequency band having a high gain value to compensate for the noise.
The amplifier can amplify a specific frequency band of the multimedia sound by adjusting the Q value. The Q value generally refers to a measure of the quality of a circuit or system. In a resonance circuit, the Q value is defined as the resonance frequency divided by the bandwidth.
It is possible to control the frequency band to be amplified by adjusting the Q value with the frequency having the maximum gain value as the resonance frequency in the noise frequency region for calculating the frequency domain to be amplified. That is, if the Q value increases, the frequency range to be amplified becomes smaller, and the desired specific frequency band can be narrowly and accurately amplified. If the Q value is decreased, the frequency range to be amplified becomes larger and the wide frequency range can be amplified.
Therefore, the amplifier can set the compensation reference for the noise frequency band in which the gain value is equal to or higher than a preset reference value by adjusting the Q value.
