Detailed ways

As mentioned in the background section, when the left and right channels of the two stereo electro-acoustic conversion units in the existing electronic equipment are asymmetrical, the problem of weakening of the sound effect will occur.

The inventors have found that the reason for the above phenomenon is that, for example, the stereo sound of a mobile phone as described in the Background Art section provides left and right sound channels through a speaker located below the mobile phone and an earpiece located above the mobile phone. In the related art, the left and right sound channels provided by the two stereo electroacoustic conversion units of the loudspeaker and the earpiece are processed independently. If there is an airplane flying from the left to the right in the sound source, the sound amplitude of the left sound channel is relatively large at the beginning. , and the sound amplitude of the right channel is small, so that the user can hear the sound of the aircraft on the left, and then the sound amplitude of the left channel gradually decreases, and the sound amplitude of the right channel gradually increases, so that The user hears the sound of the plane on the right side. During the change of the sound amplitude, the result heard by the user is that the plane flies from the left to the right.

However, due to the independent processing of the left and right channels, at the beginning, the signal amplitude of the left channel is large, the DRC module will suppress the signal amplitude of the left channel, and the signal amplitude of the right channel is small, and the DRC module will increase the signal amplitude of the right channel. As a result, the signal amplitudes of the left and right channels are not as large as the difference in the original sound source. Therefore, the final sound of the plane heard is the feeling of flying in the middle. That is to say, in the original sound source, the information reflecting the positioning of the stereo sound field through the amplitude difference between the left and right channels will be weakened by the independent processing of the left and right channel sound effects, and many sounds heard are emitted from the middle. What's more, because the gain processing of the left and right channels is processed independently, some obvious sound positions in the original sound source, such as some drums, etc., because the two gains are processed independently, the left and right channel signals of each drum are relatively The amplitude is changing, making the sound jump around.

As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a diaphragm control circuit provided by related technology 1; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a diaphragm control circuit provided by related technology 2; wherein, the diaphragm control circuit in Figure 1 It includes: a first delayer 011 , a first multiplier 012 , a second delayer 021 , a second multiplier 022 , a calculation module 031 and a DRC module 032 . The first delayer 011 and the calculation module 031 in the left channel input signal L (Left input) input circuit, while the second delayer 021 and the calculation module 031 in the right channel input signal R (Right input) input circuit , the calculation module 031 receives the left channel input signal L and the right channel input signal R at the same time, and calculates the two to obtain (L+R)/2, and then as the input signal of the DRC module 032, through the DRC module 032 Modulation, and gain Gain after calculation, and then act on the corresponding input signals in the first multiplier 012 and the second multiplier 022 at the same time, that is, the first multiplier 012 delays the left side of the first delayer 011 The channel input signal L is multiplied by the gain Gain to obtain the left channel output signal L' (Left output), and the second multiplier 022 multiplies the right channel input signal R delayed by the second delayer 021 by the gain Gain Get the right channel output signal R'(Right output).

The diaphragm control circuit in FIG. 2 includes: a first delayer 011 , a first multiplier 012 , a second delayer 021 , a second multiplier 022 , a comparison and selection module 033 and a DRC module 032 . The first delayer 011 and comparison selection module 033 in the left channel input signal L (Left input) input circuit, while the second delayer 021 and comparison selection in the right channel input signal R (Right input) input circuit Module 033, the comparison and selection module 033 simultaneously receives the left channel input signal L and the right channel input signal R, and compares the two, selects the larger value, and then uses it as the input signal of the DRC module 032, through the DRC module 032 modulation, and gain Gain after calculation, and then act on the corresponding input signals in the first multiplier 012 and the second multiplier 022 at the same time, that is, the first multiplier 012 delays the first delayer 011 The left channel input signal L and the gain Gain are multiplied to obtain the left channel output signal L' (Left output), and the second multiplier 022 delays the right channel input signal R and the gain Gain after the second delayer 021 Multiply to get the right channel output signal R'(Right output).

In the above-mentioned related technologies shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, although the signal adjustment gains of the left and right channels are guaranteed to be consistent, the relative magnitude of the signal amplitudes of the left and right channels will not change, and the left and right channel signals are retained. The amplitude difference reflects the sound field localization information.

That is to say, for an electronic device with symmetrical left and right channel components, the above-mentioned related technologies shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 can avoid the phenomenon that the sound is weakened. However, for the electronic device described in the background art section, such as a mobile phone, the left channel is used to produce sound from the earpiece, and the right channel is used to produce sound from a speaker. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the electrical signal tolerance of the earpiece is relatively weak. If the electrical signal is large, such as a signal with a sound amplitude of 6V and a frequency of 300Hz, it is easy to make the diaphragm of the earpiece exceed the maximum limit given by the electronic equipment factory. Therefore, in order to protect the earpiece, the processing gain of the DRC module for the left channel will be relatively small, but due to the related technologies shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 above, the gain is synchronized, so it will cause The signal amplitude of the right channel also becomes smaller. The right channel is the speaker, and the voltage tolerance of the speaker is relatively strong. Some signals above 9V are still within the acceptable range of the speaker, and the speaker will not be broken due to overheating. Therefore, the above-mentioned related technologies shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 do not fully play the role of the speaker, thereby wasting the hardware performance of the speaker, causing users to feel the impact subjectively, such as low volume, insufficient drum sound, and insufficient fullness of the low frequency, etc. question.

Based on this, the present invention provides a diaphragm control circuit, which is applied to an electronic device including N stereo electroacoustic conversion units (the stereo electroacoustic conversion units can be loudspeaker components such as loudspeakers, horns, receivers, etc.), wherein N is an integer, And N is greater than or equal to 2.

Similarly, on the basis of ensuring that the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit with poor sound amplitude tolerance is not damaged, the performance of other stereo electro-acoustic conversion units with better sound amplitude tolerance is maximized, thus taking into account safety and differences. The characteristics of the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit with the ability to withstand the sound amplitude avoid the weakening of the stereo effect. The diaphragm control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention realizes the gain linkage of multiple stereo electro-acoustic conversion units, which not only makes the relative signal amplitudes of the processed multiple channels relatively constant, but also ensures stereo electro-acoustics with poor sound amplitude tolerance.

On the basis of ensuring that the stereo electro-acoustic conversion units with poor sound amplitude tolerance are not damaged, the performance of other stereo electro-acoustic conversion units with better sound amplitude tolerance is maximized, thereby The characteristics of the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit taking into account the safety and the ability to withstand different sound amplitudes, avoiding the weakening of the stereo effect. The diaphragm control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention realizes the gain linkage of multiple stereo electro-acoustic conversion units, which not only makes the relative signal amplitudes of the processed multiple channels relatively constant, but also ensures stereo electro-acoustics with poor sound amplitude tolerance. Under the premise that the conversion unit will not be disconnected or burned out, the performance of the stereo electroacoustic conversion unit with strong sound amplitude tolerance is maximized.

Optionally, as shown in Figure 3, each input signal transmission circuit 11 includes a multiplier 111, one end of the multiplier 111 is used to receive the input signal Input, the input signal Input includes the first input signal Input 1, the second input signal Input 2, ... Mth input signal Input M ... Nth input signal Input N.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3, each gain adjustment circuit 12 includes a dynamic range control module 121 and a first calculation module 122, wherein each dynamic range control module corresponds to its own name DRC as shown in FIG. 3 1. ...DRC M, ...DRC N, the input terminal of the dynamic range control module 121 is used to receive the input signal Input, and calculate the initial gain value Gain according to the input signal Input, wherein each branch obtains a corresponding initial gain value (respectively Gain 1, ... Gain M, ... Gain N in Fig. 3 in each circuit); the input end of the first calculation module 122 is connected with the output end of the dynamic range control module 121, is used for initial gain The value decreases the preset gain value Offset (respectively Offset 1, ... Offset M, ... Offset N in Fig. 3 in each circuit), and the reduced gain value is obtained.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3 , the comparator 13 receives N reduced gain values from N gain adjustment circuits, compares them and takes the minimum value.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3 , each gain addition circuit 14 includes a second calculation module 140, the input terminal of the second calculation module 140 is connected to the output terminal of the comparator 13, and receives the preset value of the corresponding gain adjustment circuit 12. Set the gain value so that the smaller value increases the preset gain value; the output of the second calculation module 140 is connected with the multiplier 111 in the corresponding input signal transmission circuit 11, and the multiplier 111 combines the input signal Input with the corresponding gain addition circuit The output signals of the second calculation module 140 are multiplied to serve as the driving signal corresponding to the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit 15 .

It should be noted that the structure of each branch circuit in this embodiment includes the same components, but the parameters involved may be different, for example, the parameters of the dynamic range control module DRC in each branch can be independent If it is set, there is no need to bind multiple audio channels, and the setting of the DRC will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

In addition, the function of the first calculation module 122 in this embodiment is to subtract a certain gain (that is, the preset gain value) from the initial gain to ensure that the subsequent second calculation module 140 increases the preset gain value to form the final gain value, the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit will not be disconnected or burned because the gain value exceeds the tolerance range of the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit with the smallest sound amplitude tolerance. Therefore, the role of the first calculation module 122 in this embodiment In order to reduce the initial gain value, the function of the second calculating module 140 is to increase the gain value on the basis of the minimum gain value.

It should be noted that the specific structures of the first calculation module 122 and the second calculation module 140 are not limited in this embodiment. Optionally, when the initial gain value is in the Log domain, the unit is dB. At this time, optional, the first The first calculation module is a subtractor; the second calculation module is an adder. At this time, the corresponding preset gain value is a positive value.

In the same principle, the first calculation module can also be an adder; the second calculation module can also be a subtractor. At this time, the corresponding preset gain value is a negative value.

In other embodiments, the first calculation modules can also all be multipliers; the second calculation modules can also all be dividers. At this time, the preset gain value is a value less than 1.

In the diaphragm control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of the gain generated by the dynamic range control module DRC, a part of the gain value is uniformly lowered to obtain the reduced gain value, and then the reduced gain value of the multiple stereo electroacoustic conversion units The value takes the minimum value; on the basis of the minimum value, the original reduced preset gain is superimposed to ensure the safety of the speaker with the smallest sound amplitude tolerance. At the same time, by adjusting different preset gain values, the final gains of stereo electroacoustic conversion units with different sound amplitude tolerances are different, so that stereo electroacoustic conversion units with different sound amplitude tolerances have different sound amplitudes, making full use of The large-amplitude characteristic of the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit with strong sound amplitude tolerance makes the stereo effect better and avoids the problem of weakening the stereo effect caused by the same gain of multiple channels.

That is to say, the diaphragm control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention realizes the gain linkage of multiple stereo electroacoustic conversion units, which not only makes the relative signal amplitudes of the processed multiple channels relatively constant, but also ensures that the sound amplitude tolerance is poor. Under the premise that the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit will not be disconnected or burnt out, the performance of the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit with strong sound amplitude tolerance is brought into play as much as possible.

Please refer to Figure 4, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of another diaphragm control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention; different from the diaphragm control circuit shown in Figure 3, each input signal transmission circuit in this embodiment also includes Delay device 112, for example the first delay device among Fig. 4, ... the M delay device, ... the N delay device; The input end of delay device 112 is used for receiving input signal; The delay device 112 The output end is connected with the input end of the multiplier 111 in the input signal transmission circuit; the extension time of the delayer 112 in all input signal transmission circuits is the same.

The function of the delayer in this embodiment is to delay the input signal, so that the channels of the multiple stereo electro-acoustic conversion units are delayed the same, so that there is no relative delay and phase difference between the multiple output channels. In some application scenarios, the signal needs to be strictly suppressed within a certain range, such as -6dB. When the input signal amplitude is 0dB, to suppress the signal at -6dB, the gain needs to be adjusted, and the gain cannot suddenly jump from 0dB to -6dB. If the gain changes suddenly, pop sounds will be introduced into the final listening experience, which will seriously affect the subjective listening experience, which is unacceptable to customers. Therefore, it takes time to slowly change the gain from 0dB to -6dB without adding a delay device. When the gain has not changed to the corresponding gain, the signal has been sent to the speaker. The amplitude of this signal is above -6dB. is unacceptable. Therefore, a delayer is added, and the length of the delayer corresponds to the time of gain change, so as to ensure that when the signal is multiplied by the gain, the gain has been adjusted to the predetermined gain.

FIG. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a diaphragm control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention; the diaphragm control method is based on the diaphragm control circuit described in the above embodiment, the diaphragm Membrane control methods include:

S101: Acquire N input signals, where N is an integer, and N is greater than or equal to 2;

S104: Based on the minimum value, respectively increase the Mth preset gain value, and multiply it by the Mth input signal as the driving voltage of the Mth stereo electroacoustic conversion unit, M=1, 2, ... N.

For the specific process, please refer to the specific working principle description of the diaphragm control circuit above. Based on the gain generated by the dynamic range control module DRC, first reduce a part of the gain value uniformly to obtain a reduced gain value, and then convert multiple stereo electroacoustics The reduced gain value of the unit takes the minimum value; on the basis of the minimum value, the original reduced preset gain is superimposed to ensure the safety of the stereo electroacoustic conversion unit with the smallest sound amplitude tolerance. At the same time, by adjusting different preset gain values, the final gains of stereo electroacoustic conversion units with different sound amplitude tolerances are different, so that stereo electroacoustic conversion units with different sound amplitude tolerances have different sound amplitudes, making full use of The large-amplitude characteristic of the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit with strong sound amplitude tolerance makes the stereo effect better and avoids the problem of weakening the stereo effect caused by the same gain of multiple channels. That is to say, the diaphragm control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention realizes the gain linkage of multiple stereo electroacoustic conversion units, which not only makes the relative signal amplitudes of the processed multiple channels relatively constant, but also ensures that the sound amplitude tolerance is poor. Under the premise that the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit will not be disconnected or burnt out, the performance of the stereo electro-acoustic conversion unit with strong sound amplitude tolerance is brought into play as much as possible.

performing delay processing on the N input signals;

Based on the minimum value, the Mth preset gain value is increased respectively, and multiplied with the Mth input signal after delay processing as the driving signal of the Mth stereo electroacoustic conversion unit, M=1, 2, . . . N.

For the specific process, please refer to the specific working principle of the diaphragm control circuit above. The function of delaying the N input signals is to make the same delay for the channels of multiple stereo electroacoustic conversion units, so that the output of multiple channels There is no relative delay and phase difference between them. In some application scenarios, the signal needs to be strictly suppressed within a certain range, such as -6dB. When the input signal amplitude is 0dB, to suppress the signal at -6dB, the gain needs to be adjusted, and the gain cannot suddenly jump from 0dB to -6dB. If the gain changes suddenly, pop sounds will be introduced into the final listening experience, which will seriously affect the subjective listening experience, which is unacceptable to customers. Therefore, it takes time to slowly change the gain from 0dB to -6dB without adding a delay device. When the gain has not changed to the corresponding gain, the signal has been sent to the speaker. The amplitude of this signal is above -6dB. is unacceptable. Therefore, add a delayer, and the length of the delayer corresponds to the time of gain change, so as to ensure that the gain has been adjusted to the predetermined gain when the signal is multiplied by the gain.
