Audio system, audio device, mobile terminal device and audio signal control method
View Patent ↗Provided is an audio system in which an audio signal to be heard can be automatically set to an appropriate volume or sound quality. The audio system is provided with: a mobile terminal device provided with a microphone unit that collects surrounding sound waves, and a transmission unit that, on the basis of the sound waves collected by the microphone unit, sets the volume or sound quality of an audio signal to be amplified by an audio device, and transmits the set audio signal volume or sound quality information to the audio device; and an audio device provided with an amplification unit that amplifies the audio signal, a control unit that adjusts the audio signal volume or sound quality by means of the amplifier, and a receiving unit that receives the audio signal volume or sound quality setting information from the mobile terminal device. The control unit controls the amplification unit so as to adjust the audio signal volume or sound quality on the basis of the audio signal volume or sound quality setting information received by the receiving unit.
1. An audio system, comprising:
one or more audio devices each configured to amplify and output an audio signal; and
a mobile terminal device configured to set volume or sound quality of the audio signal output by each of the one or more audio devices via a wireless network, wherein the mobile terminal device comprises:
a microphone unit configured to collect an environmental sound;
a mobile terminal device control unit configured to receive the collected environmental sound and detect a sound level and a level frequency distribution of the environmental sound; and
a transmission unit configured to set volume or sound quality of the audio signal to be amplified by each of the one or more audio devices based on the sound level and the level frequency distribution of the environmental sound, and to transmit information on the set volume or sound quality of the audio signal to each of the one or more audio devices;
the one or more audio devices each comprises:
an amplification unit configured to amplify the audio signal;
an audio device control unit configured to adjust the volume or sound quality of the audio signal to be used by the amplification unit; and
a reception unit configured to receive information on a setting of the volume or sound quality of the audio signal from the mobile terminal device; and
the audio device control unit is configured to control the amplification unit to adjust a volume level and the level distribution of each frequency of the audio signal based on the information on the setting of the volume or sound quality of the audio signal received by the reception unit.
2. A mobile terminal device, which is configured to set volume or sound quality of an audio signal output by each of one or more audio devices via a wireless network, the mobile terminal device comprising:
a microphone unit configured to collect an environmental sound;
a mobile terminal device control unit configured to receive the collected environmental sound and detect a sound level and a level frequency distribution of the environmental sound; and
a transmission unit configured to set volume or sound quality of the audio signal to be amplified by each of the one or more audio devices based on the sound level and the level frequency distribution of the environmental sound, and to transmit information on the set volume or sound quality of the audio signal to each of the one or more audio devices.
