    Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an acoustic input-output device. The acoustic input-output device includes a loudspeaker assembly and a microphone. The loudspeaker assembly is configured to transmit sound waves by generating a first mechanical vibration. The microphone is configured to receive a second mechanical vibration of a voice signal source that is generated when the voice signal source provides a voice signal. The microphone generates a first signal and a second signal in response to the first mechanical vibration and the second mechanical vibration, respectively. In a specific frequency range, a ratio of an intensity of the first mechanical vibration to an intensity of the first signal is greater than a ratio of an intensity of the second mechanical vibration to an intensity of the second signal.

  • Publication number: 20230269547
    Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20230262390
    Abstract: In an audio denoising method and system provided in the present disclosure, a gain coefficient corresponding to each frequency unit may be generated based on a parameter related to a frequency by using a frequency of an audio signal as a unit, and gain processing is performed on each frequency unit separately by using the gain coefficient. The gain coefficient corresponding to a frequency unit including more valid audio signals may be larger, and a gain coefficient corresponding to a frequency unit including fewer valid audio signals may be smaller, so that more audio signals corresponding to frequency parts including more valid audio signals are preserved, while less audio signals corresponding to frequency parts including fewer valid audio signals are preserved. In this way, fidelity and intelligibility of an audio signal are improved while quality of the audio signal is improved and noise is reduced.
