  • Patent number: 12634648
    Abstract: Provided is a hand emulator and an acoustic testing system. The hand emulator includes: a main support configured to support a device under test, the main support includes a palm, a thumb, an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger and a little finger that are movably arranged at an end of the palm; a stopper including a plurality of limit pillars, at least some of the plurality of limit pillars are arranged on the palm, several limit pillars of the plurality of limit pillars enclose to form an accommodating space, and the device under test is limited within the accommodating space. The hand emulator can measure the frequency response of the speaker and/or the microphone of the device under test, emulate acoustic characteristics similar to the user's hand, and accurately and repetitively position the device under test, which improves existing measurement standards and creates new testing methods.

  • Publication number: 20260082150
    Abstract: A microphone array and a portable device. The microphone array includes: a housing provided with microphones inside forming a first and a second microphone part; a first end surface provided with at least two first pickup holes communicated with the microphone of the first microphone part in one-to-one correspondence; and a second end surface provided with at least one second pickup hole communicated with the microphone of the second microphone part in one-to-one correspondence. The first end surface intersects the second end surface, and a preset angle is formed between the extension direction of the first end surface and that of the second end surface. The distance between at least two adjacent microphones is less than half of the wavelength of the response frequency for beamforming. The present disclosure achieves good spatial capture performance with the lowest practical number of microphones.

  • Patent number: 12317029
    Abstract: Provided is a loudspeaker applied to an electronic device, including: a speaker body configured for vibrating and producing sound; a first acoustic channel having a first end communicated with the speaker body and a second end forming a first sound output port on a case of the electronic device; and a second acoustic channel having a first end communicated with the speaker body and a second end forming a second sound output port on the case of the electronic device. The first and second sound output ports are located on adjacent wall surfaces of the case of the electronic device. Compared with the related art, larger port area can be achieved by separately forming sound output ports on adjacent walls of the housing, resulting in high frequency response and higher gain. The horn-shaped sound output port facilitates design and reduces flow-related distortion and noise at low frequencies.

  • Patent number: 12284476
    Abstract: A sound reproducing apparatus is disclosed. The sound reproducing apparatus includes a signal processing unit, a first transducer, and a second transducer. The signal processing unit is configured to receive a sound signal and divide the sound signal into a first frequency component and a second frequency component. The first frequency component is at least partially different from the second frequency component, and the signal processing unit includes a delay unit configured to delay the second frequency band component. The first transducer is configured to convert the first frequency component from the signal processing unit into airborne sound. The second transducer is configured to convert the second frequency component from the delay unit into bone conduction sound.

  • Patent number: 11570532
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure defining a chamber and a first output port communicating the chamber with outside of the enclosure; a loudspeaker module disposed within the chamber. The loudspeaker module includes a first front cavity in communication with the first output port, a second front cavity acoustically connected with an inside space of the enclosure, a rear cavity, a transducer disposed between the first front cavity and the rear cavity, and a first passive radiator disposed between the second front cavity and the rear cavity. The passive radiator is capable of radiating low-frequency sound to the inside space of the enclosure via the second front cavity and an inside port or a second passive radiator. Then, the low-frequency sound re-radiates through surfaces of the enclosure and possible leaks in the enclosure to the outside environment. The low-frequency output is boosted.

  • Publication number: 20180296150
    Abstract: A method for testing user experience, comprising steps of: acquiring test indicating information; releasing a main task and an auxiliary task according to the test indicating information, each auxiliary task includes the main task and a corresponding physical signal providing prompting effect or inhibiting effect to the main task; acquiring feedback response information of a subject corresponding to the main task and the auxiliary task. In the technical solution of the present disclosure, through comparison of feedback response information of the subject between the auxiliary task and the main task, the perception situation of the subject on physical signals can be determined, and through comparison of feedback response information of the subject between the auxiliary tasks, the perception situation of the subject on different physical signals can be determined, thereby improving the effectiveness of the test result on perception attributes of physical signals.
