Description

Novel Bluetooth headset output sound pressure level control method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of output control of a Bluetooth headset, in particular to a novel method for controlling the output sound pressure level of the Bluetooth headset.
Background
With the development of electronic products, the market scale of the world bluetooth headset rises year by year, and various bluetooth headset products emerge endlessly. More and more young people wear earphones for a long time, which also makes the hearing health problem more and more serious, as clarified in the world hearing report issued by the world health organization, so far, more than 4.3 million people experience incapacitating hearing impairment worldwide, and this figure is likely to grow to nearly 7 million by the year 2050. The world health organization estimates that 60% of the youth's hearing loss is due to preventable causes. And over a billion teenagers are at risk of suffering an avoidable, irreversible hearing loss due to the practice of listening to music loudly for a long period of time.
With the attention on hearing health, related technologies such as hearing aids, hearing aids and the like are rapidly developed. In 1997, t.schneider proposed a multi-channel compression method applicable to hearing aids, which addresses the disadvantages of gain reduction due to narrowband non-speech stimuli and gain reduction when high frequency components are disturbed in a single channel compression system. Since then, methods of multi-channel compression have begun to be used in hearing aids. 2012, a multi-channel Wide Dynamic Range Compression (WDRC) method based on a lookup table method was proposed, in which voice is divided into 32 channels, and the channels are combined into 10 frequency bands, and the total average energy of each channel in each frequency band is used to calculate the WDRC gain of the frequency band through lookup table, thereby implementing a low-power hardware implementation method of the multi-channel WDRC. However, the method still has some disadvantages, and cannot perform smoothing processing between the frequency bands. In 2017, Hao et al propose a dynamic real-time sound pressure level stabilizer, and a language recognizer is arranged in the stabilizer, so that the sound quality under a fixed environment is greatly improved by focusing on human sound amplification, but the sound quality is easily interfered under a complex sound environment, the release time is not responded, and the change of the volume is not transited, so that the hearing experience of people is influenced.
At present, professional digital hearing aids in the market can well solve the problem of hearing impairment of people, can inhibit and relieve continuous hearing loss, and avoid deafness, but most of the professional digital hearing aids come from foreign products, and a wearer needs to go to a nearby fitting shop to perform professional fitting, and the price is very high. In the hearing-impaired people, the wearing rate of professional digital hearing aids is very low, most people select a relatively low-price sound amplifier, the amplifier can only perform simple linear amplification or reduction on sound, and symptomatic medication cannot be realized, so that the protection effect on hearing health is very slight.

The voice input module receives the Bluetooth signal sent by the mobile terminal and converts the received signal into a digital format required by subsequent signal processing, and meanwhile, the common voice interface of the voice input module comprises an IIS interface and a PCM interface, which are both applicable to the invention. The voice output module is responsible for converting the digital voice signal into a pulse density modulation signal or an analog signal which can be used for exciting a loudspeaker to sound.
2. Analysis filter bank and synthesis filter bank module

The synthesis filter bank integrates the voice signals in each sub-band again to restore the original voice with full frequency.
WDRC gain module (Voice gain module)
The WDRC gain module is the core for realizing the control method and comprises four parts of sub-band energy calculation, sub-band gain calculation, inter-sub-band gain smoothing and gain output. The subband energy calculation calculates the passing speech energy in each channel, and takes the energy as a parameter to calculate the gain of the subband.
4. Control module
The control module judges whether the sound pressure level of the input voice exceeds a set threshold value, and in order to better solve the hearing health problem caused by insufficient self-control capability of a user and long-time loud listening to music, the embodiment of the invention sets the highest output sound pressure level in the Bluetooth headset so as to ensure that each user wearing the headset is in a safe listening state. Meanwhile, the wearer can also hear the tone quality effect which the wearer wants to hear through the control module.
Specifically, the voice input module, the analysis filter bank module, the WDRC gain module, the synthesis filter bank module and the voice output module are respectively connected with the control module, the control module judges whether the input voice sound pressure level exceeds a set threshold value, when the input voice sound pressure level exceeds the set threshold value, the gain is controlled by the WDRC gain module according to a first gain control mode so that the input voice sound pressure level meets the set threshold value, and then the gain output is controlled according to a second gain control mode based on a sound effect input instruction of a user; and when the sound effect input exceeds the set threshold value, controlling the gain output according to a second gain control mode based on the sound effect input of the user.
The second gain control method is for audio input, and does not include a subband energy calculating section, a subband gain calculating section, and an inter-subband gain smoothing section. The second gain control mode can adopt corresponding gains for different frequency bands of the audio frequency according to different input sound effect parameters. This value can be defined in advance and does not need to be calculated.
In the voice input part, a standard Bluetooth receiving module can be adopted to be matched with an IIS interface for use. In the speech output section, either pulse density modulated signal output or analog signal output may be used, for example, if pulse density modulated output (output signal 1) is used, the filter (consisting of filter 1 and filter group N of filter 2 … …) and the modulator may be implemented. If an analog signal output (output signal 2) is adopted, a low-pass filter and a proper power amplifier (power amplifier) are required to be added according to actual requirements, please refer to fig. 5.
In the analysis filter bank and synthesis filter bank sections, full phase FIR filters may be employed.
In the WDRC gain part, the mode of combining software and hardware can be adopted to obtain the highest cost performance.

Specifically, the subband energy calculation and the gain calculation are independent for each subband, and the subband energy calculation is to perform energy calculation of a single channel in a channel after the analysis filter bank divides the voice into channels. The subband gain calculation is a gain calculation for a single channel within the channel after the energy calculation.
Specifically, the subband gain smoothing may be performed by averaging gains of adjacent frequency bands or by averaging gains of multiple frequency bands.
Specifically, the control module has two parts of input, one part is input voice, the other part is listener sound effect selection, the input voice is described above, and the sound effect selection can support a listener to independently adjust multiple sound effect modes, such as heavy bass, heavy human voice, heavy treble and the like.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
