  • Patent number: 9148719
    Abstract: A portable electronic device having a speaker module is provided. The speaker module includes: a speaker unit; a back chamber; a channel coupled between the speaker unit and the back chamber; and a porous material filled inside at least a portion of the front chamber, the back chamber, and/or the channel, for improving and extending bass performance and relieving a channel effect caused by the channel. Moreover, the portable electronic device is advantageously able to compensate a resonance degradation caused by the porous material.

  • Publication number: 20150010168
    Abstract: The invention provides one sound producing system including a speaker, a driving circuit and an audio controller. The speaker is used for producing an audible sound. The driving circuit is connected to the speaker. The audio controller is configured to receive an input audio signal and pre-amplify the input audio signal with an amplify gain to obtain a pre-amplified audio signal; operate a multiband dynamic range control on the pre-amplified audio signal to obtain an output audio signal; convert the output audio signal to a driving voltage; provide the driving voltage to the speaker through the driving circuit; detect over the driving circuit to obtain at least one excursion parameter to determine an estimated excursion of the speaker in response to the driving voltage; and adjust the amplify gain according to the estimated excursion.

  • Publication number: 20140348336
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a method for activating a specified function are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a speaker, an audio signal processor and an application processor. The audio signal processor senses a variation of an acoustic condition of the speaker. The application processor is used for: generating a logic high or low signal in response to the sensed variation of the acoustic condition; interpreting the logic high or low signal as a control signal; and performing an instruction corresponding to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20140233761
    Abstract: An electronic device and a corresponding gain controlling method are provided. The gain controlling method includes the steps of receiving a sound signal, calculating a sound level according to each value of the sound signal in a past period, determining a gain value according to the sound level, using the gain value to amplify the sound signal, and then storing the sound signal.

  • Publication number: 20140219475
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for sound recording are provided. The apparatus stores an equalizer and includes a housing, a microphone, and a processor. The microphone includes a plurality of sensors and receives a sound signal through an acoustical resonator in the housing. The microphone generates a plurality of electronic signals in response to the sound signal. The equalizer generates a plurality of equalized signals according to the electronic signals. The processor generates an output signal according to the equalized signals. The equalizer compensates the gain margin and the phase margin caused by the sound signal passing through the acoustical resonator in order to prevent the output signal from being affected by resonance of the sound signal in the acoustical resonator.
