Noise reduction audio reproducing device and noise reduction audio reproducing method

摘要

A noise reduction audio reproducing method includes the steps of: generating, from an audio signal of collected and obtained noise, an audio signal for noise cancellation to cancel the noise by synthesizing the audio signal for noise cancellation and the noise in an acoustic manner, reproducing the audio signal for noise cancellation acoustically to synthesize this with the noise in an acoustic manner; emphasizing an audio component to be listened to, of collected audio; synthesizing an audio signal with the audio component to be listened to being emphasized, and the audio signal for noise cancellation to supply the synthesized signal thereof to an electro-acoustic converting unit; and controlling so as to supply an audio signal, with the audio component to be listened to having been emphasized, to a synthesizing unit, regarding only a section based on a control signal.

主权项

1. A noise reduction audio reproducing device comprising: headphones including a left ear headphone casing configured to provide audio to the left ear of a user and a right ear headphone casing configured to provide audio to the right ear of the user, wherein the left ear headphone casing comprises a first acousto-electric converting unit arranged so as to collect an audio signal external to the left ear headphone casing and wherein the right ear headphone casing comprises a second acousto-electric converting unit arranged so as to collect an audio signal external to the right ear headphone casing, wherein each of the first acousto-electric converting unit and the second acousto electric converting unit are configured to collect an audio signal including a signal to be listened to and noise; a first noise cancel processing unit configured to generate, based on the noise in the audio signal collected from the first acousto-electric converting unit, a left ear audio signal for noise cancellation; a second noise cancel processing unit configured to generate, based on the noise in the audio signal collected from the second acousto-electric converting unit, a right ear audio signal for noise cancellation; an audio emphasizing unit configured to generate an emphasized audio signal by emphasizing an audio component to be listened to, of audio signals collected by said first and second acousto-electric converting units, wherein the audio emphasizing unit comprises a common audio emphasizing unit arranged to receive both audio signals collected by said first and second acousto-electric converting units; a first synthesizing unit arranged to synthesize a first output audio signal with unit, based on the emphasized audio signal and said left ear audio signal for noise cancellation and to supply the first output audio signal to a first electro-acoustic converting unit provided in the left ear headphone casing, a second synthesizing unit arranged to synthesize a second output audio signal based on the emphasized audio signal and said right ear audio signal for noise cancellation and to supply the second output audio signal to a second electro-acoustic converting unit provided in the right ear headphone casing; and a control unit configured to perform control so as to supply the emphasized audio signal, to said first synthesizing unit and said second synthesizing unit, based on a control signal.
