- the energy level of the residual noise signal Snr (t) input through the second microphone is stored, and the amplitude value for the selected frequency band is increased by a predetermined value. This process is repeated until the set amplitude value reaches the maximum value.
- the amplitude control block 1230 extracts the amplitude value corresponding to the minimum value among the stored energy levels and stores it.
- the process is repeated for all frequency bands until the phase control and amplitude control are completed.
- the first synthesizer 1240 synthesizes the first signal components in all frequency bands controlled in phase and amplitude through the phase control block 1220 and the amplitude control block 1230 to inverse the entire frequency band. Generate a phase noise cancellation signal.
- the second amplifier 1250 amplitude-controls the generated antiphase noise cancellation signal in the entire frequency band.
- the noise removing method may be performed by a controller, a processor, or firmware that performs a control function in the earphone device, as well as various electronic devices connected to the earphone device or the earphone device. It may be embodied in the form of program instructions that may be executed by various computer means of electronic devices, and may be recorded in a computer readable medium.
- the computer readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc. alone or in combination. Program instructions recorded on the media may be those specially designed and constructed for the purposes of the present invention, or they may be of the kind well-known and available to those having skill in the computer software arts.
- the hardware device described above may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.
