Description
The present invention relates to a four-pole audio plug-and-jack connector-type accessory device and a power supply method, and more particularly to an accessory device such as a headphone or earphone that can be connected to a quadrupole audio jack connector of a host such as a mobile phone, And a power supply method.
An electrical device, such as a cellular phone, MP3 player, tablet or notebook computer, i.e., a host, has a four-pole audio jack connector for electrical connection with accessory devices such as earphones or headphones. The accessory device has a 4-pole audio plug connector that is inserted into the 4-pole audio jack and electrically connected. The 4-pole audio plug connector has an L-channel audio jack, an R-channel audio jack, a ground jack, and a microphone jack. Therefore, the 4-pole audio plug connector does not have a separate power supply terminal. Recently, however, various functions have been added to these accessory devices, and power supply is required.
Recently, noise cancellation technology has been introduced in earphones to enjoy high quality audio. The noise cancellation technology, that is, the Active Noise Cansellation (ANC) solution, reduces noise around the portable device and improves the voice quality to perform a receive path ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) function.
Such noise cancellation technology requires its own power supply. Therefore, the boss earphone Quiet Comfort 20 or the Sony earphone MDR-NC13 which are in circulation are equipped with a battery and a charging circuit for power supply of the earphone itself.
Such a battery-powered earphone is disadvantageous in that it is expensive and hinders the size and weight of the product.
On the other hand, in a host such as a mobile phone, a method of supplying a power supply voltage to an accessory device for a remote control signal, an identification signal, In other words, the ear microphone or earset is controlled by the host in accordance with the operation mode so that the microphone is used as the power supply terminal in normal operation and restored to the microphone terminal in the communication mode.
In such a case, power is supplied from the host to the accessory device, so that the battery and the charging circuit can be removed from the earphone, which is advantageous in terms of size and weight reduction and cost reduction. . Therefore, the function in the earset, for example, the noise canceling function is suspended due to the power supply interruption, so that the noise canceling function can not be used in the call mode.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a four-pole audio plug-and-jack connector type accessory device and a power supply method which can always receive a constant power from a host regardless of an operation mode.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a four-pole audio plug-and-jack connector-type accessory device and a power supply method that can prevent pop noise from occurring when a power supply path is switched according to an operation mode.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a quadrupole audio plug-and-jack connector-type accessory device and a power supply method which can always receive a constant power and maintain the existing favorability.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the accessory device of the present invention is connected to the host in a quadrupole audio plug-and-jack connector manner having a first audio channel terminal, a second audio channel terminal, a ground terminal and a microphone terminal . The accessory device comprises: a signal processor connected between a first speaker, a second speaker, and at least one microphone and a quadrupole audio plug connector for processing a signal; and a controller for receiving power from a host through the microphone terminal, And an active power supply unit for selectively switching the second audio channel terminal to the second speaker and the microphone in accordance with the operation mode.
In the present invention, the active power supply unit maintains the second audio channel terminal connected to the second speaker when the operation mode is the non-communication mode, and connects the second audio channel terminal to the microphone when the operation mode is the communication mode.
The active power supply unit switches the first common contact connected to the second speaker from the first contact to the second contact connected to the first voice channel terminal when the operation mode is switched from the non-talk mode to the talk mode, A first switching unit for switching the first common contact from the second contact to the first contact when the mode is switched to the non-speaking mode, and a second switching unit for, when the mode is switched from the non- The common contact is switched from the third contact connected to the first contact of the first switching unit to the fourth contact connected to the microphone and the second common contact is switched from the fourth contact to the third contact when the mode is switched from the call mode to the non- And a second switching unit for switching the operation mode from the non-communication mode to the communication mode, And a control unit for generating a switch control signal so that the first switching unit performs switching operation prior to the second switching unit when the mode is switched from the communication mode to the non-communication mode. Such a configuration can prevent the occurrence of pop noise that may occur during mode switching.
The power supply method of the present invention is characterized in that when connected to a host, power is always supplied from a host through a microphone terminal to a signal processing unit, and when a mode is switched from a non-call mode to a call mode, A second common contact point of the second switching unit connected to the second audio channel terminal is connected to a third contact point connected to the first contact point of the first switching unit after switching the common contact point from the first contact point to the second contact point connected to the first audio channel terminal, To the fourth contact to which the microphone is connected. When the mode is switched from the call mode to the non-call mode, the second common contact of the second switching unit is switched from the fourth contact to the third contact, From the second contact to the first contact.
The stereo earphone accessory device of the present invention according to the present invention as described above can be applied to a case where the power supply to the signal processor inside the stereo earphone is required , Power can be always supplied from the host through the microphone terminal, thereby enhancing the audio performance and adding various functions within the stereo earset. The accessory device of the present invention is characterized in that when the power supply voltage supply terminal is changed from the microphone terminal to the second audio channel terminal, the host changes the voltage of the microphone terminal to the accessory device so that the accessory device can perform various operations in advance. It is possible to prevent the electric shock from being transmitted to the user's ear by blocking the pop noise that may be generated in advance.
However, the effects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned effects, and other effects not mentioned above can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
