媒體管理器114用以提供語音信號予原生應用程式112及113。在一可能實施例中,媒體管理器114係為一原生媒體管理器(native media manager)。如果電子裝置110係操作於Android系統中,則媒體管理器114係為一Android原生媒體管理器。在其它實施例中,媒體管理器114係透過一驅動器(未顯示)接收外部語音信號。在此例中,該驅動器係為一Android驅動器。The media manager 114 is used to provide voice signals to the native applications 112 and 113 . In a possible embodiment, the media manager 114 is a native media manager. If the electronic device 110 is operated in the Android system, the media manager 114 is an Android native media manager. In other embodiments, the media manager 114 receives external audio signals through a driver (not shown). In this example, the driver is an Android driver.

傳輸介面115用以耦接音源傳輸裝置120。本發明並不限定傳輸介面115的種類。在一可能實施例中,傳輸介面115包括一USB連接器。在此例中,USB連接器可能為Type-C連接器。在另一實施例中,如果電子裝置110係操作於iOS系統中,則傳輸介面115係為一Lightning連接器。在其它實施例中,傳輸介面115係為一無線收發器,以無線方式接收外部信號(資料及/或電源)或是輸出信號(資料及/或電源)。The transmission interface 115 is used for coupling the audio transmission device 120 . The present invention does not limit the type of the transmission interface 115 . In a possible embodiment, the transmission interface 115 includes a USB connector. In this example, the USB connector might be a Type-C connector. In another embodiment, if the electronic device 110 operates on an iOS system, the transmission interface 115 is a Lightning connector. In other embodiments, the transmission interface 115 is a wireless transceiver, which receives external signals (data and/or power) or outputs signals (data and/or power) wirelessly.

音源傳輸裝置120用以偵測外部音源AS,並提供一語音信號予電子裝置110。在本實施例中,音源傳輸裝置120先將外部音源AS包裝成一廠商自訂類別(Vendor defined class)格式的語音信號(或稱第一語音信號),再透過傳輸介面115,提供第一語音信號予電子裝置110。電子裝置110的音訊處理應用程式111對所接收的第一語音信號進行處理與運算,並可選擇性的將處理後的第一語音信號以及/或控制信號回傳至音源傳輸裝置120。舉例來說,電子裝置110的音訊處理應用程式111可為一降噪應用程式,其處理第一語音信號,用以濾除第一語音信號的噪音成分,並回傳一乾淨的語音信號予音源傳輸裝置120。The sound source transmission device 120 is used to detect an external sound source AS, and provide a voice signal to the electronic device 110 . In this embodiment, the sound source transmission device 120 first packages the external sound source AS into a voice signal (or called the first voice signal) in the format of a vendor-defined class (Vendor defined class), and then provides the first voice signal through the transmission interface 115 Give the electronic device 110. The audio processing application program 111 of the electronic device 110 processes and calculates the received first audio signal, and optionally returns the processed first audio signal and/or control signal to the audio transmission device 120 . For example, the audio processing application program 111 of the electronic device 110 can be a noise reduction application program, which processes the first voice signal to filter out the noise component of the first voice signal, and returns a clean voice signal to the audio source Transmission device 120 .

在一可能實施例中,第一語音信號具有四通道(channel)的語音資訊。在此例中,降噪應用程式(如音訊處理應用程式111)從第一語音信號中,找出具有主要語音成分的來源通道,並濾除來源通道以外的其它通道的語音成分(即噪音成分)。降噪應用程式提供來源通道的語音成分予音源傳輸裝置120。In a possible embodiment, the first audio signal has four channels of audio information. In this example, the noise reduction application program (such as the audio processing application program 111) finds out the source channel with the main speech component from the first speech signal, and filters out the speech components of other channels other than the source channel (ie, the noise component ). The noise reduction application program provides the speech components of the source channel to the audio transmission device 120 .

在接收到降噪後的語音成分後,音源傳輸裝置120再透過一特定裝置(媒體管理器114所認識的裝置,譬如是音頻類別電路),發送降噪後的語音信號(即降噪應用程式所回傳的語音)予媒體管理器114。媒體管理器114再將乾淨的語音信號提供予原生應用程式112及/或113。因此,原生應用程式112及/或113的動作不會受到環境噪音的影響。After receiving the noise-reduced speech component, the audio source transmission device 120 sends the noise-reduced speech signal (that is, the noise-reduction application program) through a specific device (a device recognized by the media manager 114, such as an audio circuit). returned voice) to the media manager 114. The media manager 114 then provides the clean audio signal to the native applications 112 and/or 113 . Therefore, the actions of the native applications 112 and/or 113 will not be affected by environmental noise.

在本實施例中,降噪處理是在音源傳輸裝置120的外部,也就是電子裝置110中進行。因此,不需額外設置一數位信號處理器於音源傳輸裝置120中,因而降低音源傳輸裝置120的元件成本。另外,即使音源傳輸裝置120不具有數位信號處理器,仍可提供不具環境噪音的語音信號予電子裝置110。因此,電子裝置110可正確地判斷出語音信號所代表的意義。In this embodiment, the noise reduction processing is performed outside the sound source transmission device 120 , that is, in the electronic device 110 . Therefore, there is no need to additionally arrange a digital signal processor in the audio transmission device 120 , thereby reducing the component cost of the audio transmission device 120 . In addition, even if the sound source transmission device 120 does not have a digital signal processor, it can still provide the electronic device 110 with a voice signal without environmental noise. Therefore, the electronic device 110 can correctly determine the meaning represented by the voice signal.

本發明並不限定音源傳輸裝置120的型態。在本實施例中,音源傳輸裝置120係為一Dongle。在其它實施例中,音源傳輸裝置120可能整合於充電線(未顯示)中。因此,電子裝置110可一邊充電,一邊接收語音信號。另外,音源傳輸裝置120可能具有一音源輸出端(未顯示)。在此例中,當使用者將耳機插入音源傳輸裝置120的音源輸出端時,便可透過音源傳輸裝置120接收到電子裝置110所輸出的語音(如音樂)。又在其它實施例中,音源傳輸裝置120可能整合至少一機構件,例如是一轉軸及一滾輪之至少一者。在此例中,音源傳輸裝置120的轉軸/滾輪可根據所接收的至少一控制信號進行轉動/移動。The present invention does not limit the type of the sound source transmission device 120 . In this embodiment, the sound source transmission device 120 is a Dongle. In other embodiments, the audio transmission device 120 may be integrated into a charging cable (not shown). Therefore, the electronic device 110 can receive the voice signal while being charged. In addition, the audio transmission device 120 may have an audio output terminal (not shown). In this example, when the user plugs the earphone into the audio output port of the audio transmission device 120 , the user can receive the voice (such as music) output by the electronic device 110 through the audio transmission device 120 . Still in other embodiments, the sound source transmission device 120 may integrate at least one mechanical component, such as at least one of a rotating shaft and a roller. In this example, the rotating shaft/roller of the sound source transmission device 120 can rotate/move according to at least one control signal received.

第2圖為本發明之音源傳輸裝置120的一可能實施例。在本實施例中,音源傳輸裝置120包括一傳輸介面210、一廠商自訂類別電路(vendor defined class circuit)220、一音頻類別電路(audio class circuit)230以及一感測電路240。FIG. 2 is a possible embodiment of the audio transmission device 120 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the audio source transmission device 120 includes a transmission interface 210 , a vendor defined class circuit 220 , an audio class circuit 230 and a sensing circuit 240 .

感測電路240偵測外部音源AS,用以產生一輸入語音ADIN 。本發明並不限定感測電路240的架構。感測電路240具有至少一聲音感測器。在一可能實施例中,感測電路240係為一麥克風陣列。在此例中,麥克風陣列可能由四個麥克風所組成,用以偵測四個方向的聲音。在此例中,輸入語音ADIN 具有四個通道(channel)的語音。在其它實施例中,麥克風陣列可能具有更多或更少的麥克風。The sensing circuit 240 detects the external audio source AS for generating an input voice AD IN . The invention does not limit the architecture of the sensing circuit 240 . The sensing circuit 240 has at least one sound sensor. In a possible embodiment, the sensing circuit 240 is a microphone array. In this example, the microphone array may consist of four microphones to detect sounds from four directions. In this example, the input voice AD IN has four channels of voice. In other embodiments, the microphone array may have more or fewer microphones.

廠商自訂類別電路220根據輸入語音ADIN ,產生一語音信號ADS1 。在一可能實施例中,廠商自訂類別電路220將語音信號ADS1 包裝成一廠商自訂類型(vendor defined class)格式的信號。在另一可能實施例中,廠商自訂類別電路220將輸入語音ADIN 轉換成USB格式,再將轉換後的結果(即語音信號ADS1 )透過傳輸介面210提供予外部電子裝置(如110)。外部電子裝置裡的音訊處理應用程式(如111)對所接收的語音信號ADS1 進行處理與運算,用以產生一處理語音ADCN ,並透過傳輸介面210回傳予廠商自訂類別電路220。舉例來說,電子裝置110的音訊處理應用程式111可為一降噪應用程式,其濾除語音信號ADS1 的噪音成分,用以產生一處理語音ADCN ,並透過傳輸介面210回傳予廠商自訂類別電路220。在一可能實施例中,廠商自訂類別電路220儲存處理語音ADCN 。此時,處理語音ADCN 係為一乾淨的語音信號,不具有噪音成分。The vendor-defined category circuit 220 generates a voice signal AD S1 according to the input voice AD IN . In a possible embodiment, the vendor defined class circuit 220 packs the voice signal AD S1 into a signal of a vendor defined class format. In another possible embodiment, the vendor-defined class circuit 220 converts the input voice AD IN into a USB format, and then provides the converted result (that is, the voice signal AD S1 ) to an external electronic device (such as 110) through the transmission interface 210 . The audio processing application program (such as 111 ) in the external electronic device processes and calculates the received voice signal AD S1 to generate a processed voice AD CN , and sends it back to the manufacturer-defined category circuit 220 through the transmission interface 210 . For example, the audio processing application 111 of the electronic device 110 can be a noise reduction application, which filters out the noise component of the voice signal AD S1 to generate a processed voice AD CN , and sends it back to the manufacturer through the transmission interface 210 Custom class circuit 220 . In a possible embodiment, the vendor-defined category circuit 220 stores and processes the voice AD CN . At this time, the processed speech AD CN is a clean speech signal without noise components.

音頻類別電路230透過廠商自訂類別電路220接收處理語音ADCN ,並將處理語音ADCN 作為一語音信號ADS2 提供予外部電子裝置的媒體管理器(如114)。由於語音信號ADS2 係為一乾淨的語音信號,不具有噪音成分,故當媒體管理器114提供語音信號ADS2 予原生應用程式112或113時,原生應用程式112或113可正確地辨識出語音信號ADS2 ,並作出正確的反應。The audio category circuit 230 receives and processes the voice AD CN through the vendor-defined category circuit 220, and provides the processed voice AD CN as a voice signal AD S2 to the media manager (such as 114) of the external electronic device. Since the voice signal AD S2 is a clean voice signal without noise components, when the media manager 114 provides the voice signal AD S2 to the native application 112 or 113, the native application 112 or 113 can correctly recognize the voice signal AD S2 , and respond correctly.

舉例而言,假設,原生應用程式112根據語音信號ADS2 呈現相對應的文字。在此例中,如果語音信號ADS2 含有噪音成分,則原生應用程式112可能呈現錯誤的文字。然而,由於音頻類別電路230提供乾淨的語音信號予媒體管理器114,故可讓原生應用程式112呈現正確的文字。本發明並不限定音頻類別電路230的架構。在一可能實施例中,音頻類別電路230係為一USB音頻類別(USB audio class;UAC)電路。For example, assume that the native application program 112 presents corresponding text according to the voice signal AD S2 . In this example, if the voice signal AD S2 contains noise components, the native application program 112 may display wrong text. However, since the audio class circuit 230 provides a clean speech signal to the media manager 114, the native application 112 can render correct text. The present invention does not limit the architecture of the audio category circuit 230 . In a possible embodiment, the audio class circuit 230 is a USB audio class (USB audio class; UAC) circuit.

傳輸介面210用以輸出語音信號ADS1 及ADS2 ,並接收處理語音ADCN 。本發明並不限定傳輸介面210的種類。在本實施例中,傳輸介面210的型態相同於傳輸介面115的型態。舉例而言,如果傳輸介面115係為一無線收發器,則傳輸介面210也是一無線收發器。在其它實施例中,如果傳輸介面115係為一USB連接器,則傳輸介面210也是一USB連接器。在一可能實施例中,傳輸介面210係透過USB連接器的D+與D-接腳傳送語音信號ADS1 、ADS2 及處理語音ADCNThe transmission interface 210 is used for outputting voice signals AD S1 and AD S2 , and receiving and processing voice AD CN . The present invention does not limit the type of the transmission interface 210 . In this embodiment, the type of the transmission interface 210 is the same as that of the transmission interface 115 . For example, if the transmission interface 115 is a wireless transceiver, the transmission interface 210 is also a wireless transceiver. In other embodiments, if the transmission interface 115 is a USB connector, the transmission interface 210 is also a USB connector. In a possible embodiment, the transmission interface 210 transmits the voice signals AD S1 , AD S2 and processes the voice AD CN through the D+ and D− pins of the USB connector.

由於在音源傳輸裝置120同時建置廠商自訂類別電路220以及音頻類別電路230,因此當音源傳輸裝置120接上一電腦或是一監測系統,在電腦的檔案管理員中以及監測系統中,可以觀測到此音源傳輸裝置120同時具有廠商自訂類別以及音頻類別。而習知的音源傳輸裝置(具有數位信號處理器)僅建置一音頻類別電路,其負責音頻的播放與接收,不涉及音訊處理。因此當接上電腦或是監測系統,在電腦的檔案管理員中以及監測系統中,僅可以觀測到此音源傳輸裝置具有音頻類別。然而,本揭露的音源傳輸裝置120利用廠商自訂類別電路230將語音信號ADS1 包裝成一廠商自訂類型格式的信號,並透過傳輸介面210提供予外部電子裝置(如110)進行音訊處理。因此,在音源傳輸裝置120中不需額外設置一數位信號處理器或是音訊處理電路,因而大大降低音源傳輸裝置120的元件成本。Since the manufacturer's self-defined category circuit 220 and the audio category circuit 230 are simultaneously built in the sound source transmission device 120, when the sound source transmission device 120 is connected to a computer or a monitoring system, in the file manager of the computer and in the monitoring system, it can be It is observed that the sound source transmission device 120 has both a manufacturer-defined category and an audio category. The conventional audio source transmission device (with digital signal processor) only builds an audio class circuit, which is responsible for playing and receiving audio, and does not involve audio processing. Therefore, when connected to a computer or a monitoring system, in the file manager of the computer and the monitoring system, only the sound source transmission device can be observed to have the audio category. However, the audio transmission device 120 of the present disclosure utilizes the manufacturer-defined class circuit 230 to package the audio signal AD S1 into a signal of a manufacturer-defined type format, and provides the signal to an external electronic device (such as 110 ) through the transmission interface 210 for audio processing. Therefore, an additional digital signal processor or audio processing circuit does not need to be provided in the sound source transmission device 120 , thus greatly reducing the component cost of the sound source transmission device 120 .

在其它實施例中,微控制電路460更控制感測電路440。在此例中,微控制電路460透過一控制信號SC3 ,命令感測電路440提供輸入語音ADIN 。微控制電路460判斷輸入語音ADIN 是否大於一預設值。當輸入語音ADIN 大於預設值時,表示外部音源AS係為一有效音源。因此,微控制電路460透過控制信號SC3 ,命令感測電路440提供輸入語音ADIN 予廠商自訂類別電路420。然而,當輸入語音ADIN 未大於預設值時,表示外部音源AS係為一無效音源(如噪音)。因此,微控制電路460透過控制信號SC3 ,命令感測電路440不提供輸入語音ADIN 予廠商自訂類別電路420。在其它實施例中,上述廠商自訂類別電路420、音頻類別電路430以及微控制電路460至少其中一者可位於集線器450中。在一實施例中,上述廠商自訂類別電路420、音頻類別電路430以及微控制電路460皆位於集線器450中。In other embodiments, the micro control circuit 460 further controls the sensing circuit 440 . In this example, the micro control circuit 460 commands the sensing circuit 440 to provide the input voice AD IN through a control signal SC 3 . The microcontroller circuit 460 determines whether the input voice AD IN is greater than a preset value. When the input voice AD IN is greater than the preset value, it means that the external audio source AS is an effective audio source. Therefore, the micro-control circuit 460 commands the sensing circuit 440 to provide the input voice AD IN to the manufacturer-defined category circuit 420 through the control signal SC 3 . However, when the input voice AD IN is not greater than the preset value, it means that the external sound source AS is an invalid sound source (such as noise). Therefore, the micro-control circuit 460 commands the sensing circuit 440 not to provide the input voice AD IN to the manufacturer-defined category circuit 420 through the control signal SC 3 . In other embodiments, at least one of the vendor-defined class circuit 420 , the audio class circuit 430 and the microcontroller circuit 460 may be located in the hub 450 .

FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 2 , the difference is that there is an additional transmission interface 550 in FIG. 5 . Because the characteristics of the transmission interface 510, the vendor-defined class circuit 520, the audio class circuit 530, and the sensing circuit 540 in FIG.
