Referring to FIG. 1 , an audio playback device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a casing 11 , a plurality of speakers 12 and a processor 13 .

The audio playback device 100 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a display device, a notebook computer, a smart watch, a teller machine, a gate machine, a head-mounted display device, a game machine, and the like. As shown in FIG. 2 , the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the audio playback device 100 as a mobile phone as an example. It can be understood that the specific form of the audio playback device 100 is not limited to the mobile phone. The casing 11 can also be used to install functional modules such as a display device, an imaging device, a power supply device, and a communication device of the audio playback device 100, so that the casing 11 provides protection against dust, drop, and water for the functional modules.

The housing 11 may include a plurality of sub-housings (not shown), and a plurality of loudspeakers 12 are respectively arranged in the plurality of sub-housings, and the sub-housings isolate the loudspeaker 12 from other functional components in the audio playback device 100 to prevent the audio from the loudspeaker 12 Vibration affects other functional parts.

The housing 11 includes a top wall 111 , a bottom wall 112 , a first side wall 113 , a second side wall 114 , a front side 115 and a back side 116 . The top wall 111 is opposite to the bottom wall 112, the front side 115 is opposite to the back side 116, the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 connect the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112, the top wall 111, the bottom wall 112, the first side wall 113 and The second side wall 114 connects the front side 115 and the back side 116 . The top wall 111 , bottom wall 112 , first side wall 113 , second side wall 114 , front side 115 and back side 116 enclose an accommodating space 117 , and a plurality of speakers 12 and processors 13 are disposed in the accommodating space 117 .

A plurality of speakers 12 are arranged around the casing 11 , so that the sound field of the audio playback device 100 covers the surrounding space of the audio playback device 100 . For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , there are four speakers 12 , which are respectively arranged on the top wall 111 , the bottom wall 112 , the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 of the audio playback device 100 . In other embodiments, the number of loudspeakers 12 can be eight, and every two loudspeakers 12 form a group, which are respectively arranged on the top wall 111, the bottom wall 112, the first side wall 113 and the second side wall of the audio playback device 100. 114 to improve audio playback.

The top wall 111, the bottom wall 112, the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 are all provided with a sound outlet 118, and the position of the sound outlet 118 is opposite to the speaker 12, so that the audio output from the speaker 12 can be directly from the corresponding outlet. The output of the sound hole 118 shortens the propagation path of the audio in the casing 11 and reduces the loss of the audio.

The opposite two loudspeakers 12 adopt a symmetrical design, for example, the two loudspeakers 12 positioned at the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 adopt a symmetrical design (that is, the connection between the centers of the two loudspeakers 12 positioned at the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 line parallel to the first side wall 113 or the second side wall 114), the two speakers 12 located on the two side walls adopt a symmetrical design (that is, the two speakers 12 located on the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 The connecting line in the center is parallel to the top wall 111 or the bottom wall 112 ), and the multiple speakers 12 can be the same speaker 12 , that is, the audio output parameters of the multiple speakers 12 are the same.

Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the audio control method of the embodiment of the present application is applied to the audio playback device 100 of any of the above embodiments, and the audio control method includes:

011: Determine whether the audio signal includes position information for associating with at least one of the plurality of speakers 12;

012: If yes, play the audio signal through the speaker 12 associated with the location information.

The audio control device 10 in the embodiment of the present application is applied to an audio playback device 100 , and the audio control device 10 includes a determination module 01 and a first control module 02 . The determination module 01 is used to determine whether the audio signal contains position information, and the position information is used to be associated with at least one of the plurality of speakers 12; the first control module 02 is used to play the audio signal through the speaker 12 associated with the position information . That is to say, step 011 can be executed by the determination module 01 , and step 012 can be executed by the first control module 02 .

The processor 13 of the audio playback device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is used to determine whether the audio signal contains position information, and the position information is used to associate with at least one of the plurality of speakers 12; and when the audio signal has position information, The audio signal is played through the speaker 12 associated with the location information. That is to say, step 011 may be executed by the processor 13 , and step 012 may be executed by the processor 13 in cooperation with multiple speakers 12 .

Specifically, when the audio playback device 100 is playing audio, first the processor 13 can identify the audio signal to determine whether the audio signal contains location information, and when the audio signal includes location information, it indicates the location where the audio signal requires output sound. Embody the sense of position of the sound. At this point, the processor 13 can first process the audio signal to generate multiple monophonic audio signals, for example, the processor 13 performs up-mixing processing on the audio signal to generate multiple monophonic audio signals, each monophonic Each channel audio signal corresponds to a piece of position information. The number of channels may be determined according to the type of position information included in the audio signal, or the number of channels may be a preset number of channels. Certainly, the processor 13 may not process the audio signal, but directly controls one or more speakers 12 associated with the location information to output the audio signal.

In other implementations, the audio signal in the audio playback device 100 always carries position information, and the processor 13 does not need to identify whether the audio signal contains position information, but only needs to obtain the position information in each audio signal, and control the correlation according to the position information. Connected speaker 12 to play.

The processor 13 can control one or more speakers 12 associated with the position information to play the audio signal. When playing, the processor 13 controls each associated audio signal according to the position information of each monophonic audio signal in the audio signal. The audio signal played by each loudspeaker 12 with predetermined playback parameters.

Taking the audio playback device 100 shown in Figure 1 as an example, the speakers 12 positioned on the left and right sides of the audio playback device 100 are respectively a first speaker 121 and a second speaker 122, and the speakers 12 positioned on the upper and lower sides of the audio playback device 100 are respectively are the third speaker 123 and the fourth speaker 124 . Wherein, the first speaker 121 is set on the first side wall 113 , the second speaker 122 is set on the second side wall 114 , the third speaker 123 is set on the top wall 111 , and the fourth speaker 124 is set on the bottom wall 112 .

The position information includes a plurality of preset orientations, and each preset orientation and the playback parameters (such as output intensity) of the corresponding loudspeaker 12 can be provided with a preset mapping relationship table. After determining the preset orientation of the monophonic audio signal, that is The output intensity of each loudspeaker 12 corresponding to the preset orientation can be searched through the mapping relation table, thereby controlling the output intensity of each loudspeaker 12 so that the sound field of the audio playback device 100 matches the preset orientation, that is, the mono audio The signal is output towards the preset orientation. Wherein, the output intensity of the loudspeaker 12 being P means that the loudspeaker 12 is associated with the corresponding preset orientation.

The specific mapping table is as follows in Table 1:

Wherein, P in Table 1 is a predetermined output intensity, and the predetermined output intensity can be determined according to the volume set by the user.

For example, when the position information indicates that the preset orientation is "left", the processor 13 controls the first speaker 121 to output the monophonic audio signal with a predetermined output intensity, and controls the second speaker 122 to the fourth speaker 124 to output the monophonic audio signal. The output intensity of the monophonic audio signal is 0, that is, the second speaker 122 to the fourth speaker 124 are controlled not to output the monophonic audio signal. For another example, when the position information indicates that the preset orientation is "right", the processor 13 controls the second speaker 122 to output the monophonic audio signal with a predetermined output intensity, while controlling the first speaker 121, the third speaker 123 and the The output intensity of the monophonic audio signal of the four speakers 124 is 0, that is, the first speaker 121 , the third speaker 123 and the fourth speaker 124 are controlled not to output the monophonic audio signal. For another example, when the position information indicates that the preset orientation is "upper left", the processor 13 controls the first speaker 121 and the third speaker 123 to output the monophonic audio signal with a predetermined output intensity, while controlling the second speaker 122 and the third speaker 123 to output the monophonic audio signal. The output intensity of the monophonic audio signal of the four speakers 124 is 0, that is, the second speaker 122 and the fourth speaker 124 are controlled not to output the monophonic audio signal.

In this way, the output intensity of each speaker 12 can be quickly determined by querying the preset mapping table through the position information of the audio signal, thereby improving the efficiency of audio control.

The output intensity of loudspeaker 12 can be realized by adjusting the output loudness of loudspeaker 12; In addition, because the mid-high frequency part in the audio signal has less influence on the sound field, therefore, when output intensity is adjusted, only the monophonic audio signal can be adjusted The gain of the low-frequency part in the middle, so as to realize the adjustment of the output intensity.

The audio control method, the audio control device 10 and the audio playback device 100 in the embodiment of the present application first determine whether the audio signal contains position information, and if there is position information, then process the audio signal to divide the audio signal into multiple and position information One-to-one corresponding monophonic audio signals, and then when playing the audio signals, adjust the output strength of multiple speakers 12 according to the position information corresponding to each monophonic audio signal, so that the sound field and position of the audio playback device 100 The information is matched, so that the sound has a strong sense of position and surround during playback, which can meet the needs of users and can adapt to scenes that require a high sense of position in audio playback.

Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, in some embodiments, the audio control method also includes:

013: If the audio signal does not contain position information, process the audio signal to generate a left channel audio signal and a right channel audio signal, and obtain the attitude information of the device;

014: When the posture information indicates that the audio playback device 100 is placed vertically, control the first speaker 121 and the second speaker 122 to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal respectively;

015: When the posture information indicates that the audio playback device 100 is placed horizontally, control the third speaker 123 and the fourth speaker 124 to output a left-channel audio signal and a right-channel audio signal, respectively.

In some implementations, the audio control device 10 includes a processing module 03 , a second control module 04 and a third control module 05 . The processing module 03 is used to process the audio signal when the audio signal does not contain position information, so as to generate the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal, and obtain the attitude information of the device; the second control module 04 is used to indicate the When the audio playback device 100 is placed vertically, the first speaker 121 and the second speaker 122 are controlled to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal respectively; the third control module 05 is used to place the audio playback device 100 horizontally when the posture information indicates , control the third speaker 123 and the fourth speaker 124 to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal respectively. That is to say, step 013 can be executed by the processing module 03 , step 014 can be executed by the second control module 04 , and step 015 can be executed by the third control module 05 .

In some implementations, the processor 13 is also configured to process the audio signal when the audio signal does not contain position information, to generate a left channel audio signal and a right channel audio signal, and obtain the attitude information of the device; When instructing the audio playback device 100 to be placed vertically, control the first speaker 121 and the second speaker 122 to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal respectively; when the posture information indicates that the audio playback device 100 is placed horizontally, control the third speaker 123 and the fourth speaker 124 respectively output the audio signal of the left channel and the audio signal of the right channel. That is to say, step 014 , step 015 and step 016 may be implemented by the processor 13 .

Specifically, when the audio signal does not contain position information, it means that the audio signal does not need to output the position of the sound, and there is no need to experience the sense of position of the sound. Therefore, the processor 13 can directly process the audio signal into a left channel audio signal and a right channel audio signal. audio signal (such as down-mixing the audio signal), and obtain the attitude information of the device, the attitude information of the audio playback device 100 can be determined by the detection data of the attitude sensor (such as gyroscope, accelerometer, etc.).

The processor 13 determines the speaker 12 for playing the audio signal according to the posture information. For example, if it is determined according to the attitude information that the audio playback device 100 is placed vertically (that is, the state shown in FIG. The left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal are respectively output, thereby realizing stereo output, and since the audio playback device 100 is placed vertically, it means that the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 respectively correspond to the two sides of the human ear, Therefore, the audio signal of the left channel and the audio signal of the right channel are respectively outputted through the first speaker 121 and the second speaker 122, which can improve the stereo playback effect. If it is determined according to the attitude information that the audio playback device 100 is placed horizontally (i.e. the state shown in FIG. 5 ), then the left channel audio signal can be output respectively through the third loudspeaker 123 and the fourth loudspeaker 124 of the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 and right channel audio signal, thereby realizing stereo output; to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal respectively, which can improve the stereo playback effect.

In addition, in order to ensure that the left channel audio signal is played corresponding to the left ear, and the right channel audio signal is played corresponding to the right ear, so as to further improve the stereo playback effect, the processor 13 can determine the attitude angle of the audio playback device 100 according to the attitude information, such as As shown in Fig. 1, it is the state that the attitude angle of the audio playback device 100 is 0 degrees, at this moment, the processor 13 controls the first loudspeaker 121 and the second loudspeaker 122 to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal respectively; 5 shows that the attitude angle of the audio playback device 100 is 90 degrees, and the processor 13 controls the fourth speaker 124 and the third speaker 123 located on both sides of the audio playback device 100 to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel respectively. Audio signal; As shown in Figure 6, it is the state that the posture angle of audio playback device 100 is 180 degrees, and processor 13 controls the second loudspeaker 122 and the first loudspeaker 121 that are positioned at audio playback device 100 both sides to output left channel audio frequency respectively signal and the right channel audio signal; as shown in Figure 7, it is the state that the attitude angle of the audio playback device 100 is 270 degrees, and the processor 13 controls the third speaker 123 and the fourth speaker 124 to output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal respectively. channel audio signal. In this way, by obtaining the accurate attitude angle of the audio playback device 100, the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal can be controlled more accurately, and the stereo playback effect can be improved.

In other implementations, the attitude angle of the audio playback device 100 may not be 0 degree, 90 degree, 180 degree and 270 degree as mentioned above, but a degree between any two values. Therefore, the processor 13 can set each The attitude angle within the range of plus or minus 45 degrees of a degree is used as the degree for audio control. For example, take the attitude angle in the interval [-45°, 45°) as 0° for audio control, set the attitude angle in the interval [45°, 135°) as 90° for audio control, and set the attitude angle in the interval [135°, The attitude angle of 225 degrees) is regarded as 180 degrees for audio control, and the attitude angle in the interval [225 degrees, 315 degrees) is regarded as 270 degrees for audio control. In this way, audio control at any attitude angle can be realized.

The loudspeaker 12 may be blocked or even damaged, resulting in less sound or even no sound. For example, when the user holds the audio playback device 100, the speaker 12 may be blocked. The speaker 12 can detect whether the output audio signal is abnormal to determine whether the speaker 12 is abnormal. For example, when the loudspeaker 12 is blocked, the reflection intensity of the left channel signal and the right channel signal in the sound cavity is relatively high. Therefore, whether the audio parameters of the audio signal output by the detection loudspeaker 12 is abnormal can determine whether the loudspeaker 12 exists. abnormal. If the loudness is greater than the predetermined loudness, it is determined that the speaker 12 is blocked, and when there is no loudness, it can be determined that the speaker 12 is damaged.

When the speaker 12 is abnormal, the output of the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal can be carried out through the speaker 12 that does not appear abnormal, such as when the first speaker 121 and/or the second speaker 122 are abnormal, through the first speaker 121 and/or the second speaker 122. The three loudspeakers 123 and the fourth loudspeaker 124 respectively output the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal; A left channel audio signal and a right channel audio signal. In this way, the stereo output after the hole is plugged or damaged can be realized.

Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 8, in some embodiments, step 012 includes:

0121: Obtain the distance between each speaker 12 and the position information;

0122: Determine the output intensity of each speaker 12 according to the distance corresponding to each speaker 12;

0123: Control each speaker 12 to output a mono audio signal with a corresponding output intensity, so that the sound field of the audio playback device 100 matches the position information.

In some embodiments, the first control module 02 is also used to obtain the distance between each speaker 12 and the position information; according to the distance corresponding to each speaker 12, determine the output intensity of each speaker 12; control each speaker 12 to The corresponding output intensity outputs a monaural audio signal so that the sound field of the audio playback device 100 matches the position information. That is to say, Step 0121 to Step 0123 can be executed by the first control module 02 .

In some embodiments, the processor 13 is also used to obtain the distance between each speaker 12 and the position information; according to the corresponding distance of each speaker 12, determine the output intensity of each speaker 12; control each speaker 12 with a corresponding The output intensity outputs a monaural audio signal so that the sound field of the audio playback device 100 matches the position information. That is to say, step 0121 to step 0123 may be implemented by the processor 13 .

Specifically, in order to achieve a more accurate output position of the sound, when the processor 13 determines the output intensity of each speaker 12, it can first obtain the distance between each speaker 12 and the position corresponding to the position information, and then according to each speaker 12 and The distance of the position of the sound determines the output intensity of each speaker 12, the closer the distance is, the greater the output intensity is, and the farther the distance is, the smaller the output intensity is. For example, please refer to Fig. 5, when the position corresponding to the position information is located at the upper left of the audio playback device 100, the adjustment parameters of each speaker 12 can be determined respectively according to the distance between the position and each speaker 12, so that each speaker 12 output on the basis of the predetermined playback parameters, adjust the output intensity of each loudspeaker 12 by adjusting parameters, such as the distance from the position of the fourth loudspeaker 124, the first loudspeaker 121, the second loudspeaker 122 and the third loudspeaker 123 gradually increases, Then the adjustment parameter of the fourth loudspeaker 124 can be 1.5, the adjustment parameter of the first loudspeaker 121 is 0.5, and the second loudspeaker 122 and the fourth loudspeaker 124 can set the adjustment parameter to 0 because the distance between the second loudspeaker 122 and the fourth loudspeaker 124 is 0, that is, the second loudspeaker 122 and the second loudspeaker 122 and the fourth loudspeaker 124 are far away. The four speakers 124 are not used to output the monophonic audio signal corresponding to the location information. For example, the distance corresponding to each loudspeaker 12 and the distance corresponding to the fourth loudspeaker 124 (that is, the distance corresponding to the loudspeaker 12 closest to the position) can be made a difference, if the difference is greater than a predetermined difference threshold (such as a predetermined difference The threshold can be determined according to the distance between the speakers 12), then its adjustment parameter is set to 0, thereby improving the accuracy of sound position output. In this way, compared to the fact that each speaker 12 only uses predetermined playback parameters to output, and the sound position that can be output is less, an adjustment parameter is determined for each speaker 12 through the position information and the distance of each speaker 12, which can be Achieve more accurate and rich sound position output.

In some implementations, the processor 13 may further perform further processing on the audio signal output by the speaker 12, such as at least one of equalization processing, dynamic range compression, gain processing, and phase adjustment.

Specifically, equalization processing is to adjust the timbre by gaining or attenuating one or more frequency bands of the audio signal; dynamic range compression can adjust the amplitude of the signal to make the sound sound softer or louder; gain processing According to the user's preference for audio in different frequency bands, specific frequency bands can be amplified to obtain audio playback effects that meet user needs, such as enhancing the low-frequency part of the audio signal to improve the bass effect; phase modulation can make The audio signals output by different loudspeakers 12 can reach the human ear at the same time after being played, so as to avoid the sound dragging phenomenon.
