Abstract

A sound adjustment method applied to a sound adjustment system is disclosed. The sound adjustment system includes a sound receiving module, a sound identification module, a sound frequency conversion module and a sound equalizer. The sound adjustment method includes the steps of: receiving a sound signal via the sound receiving module; identifying the sound signal via the sound identification module to determine a type of the sound signal; if the sound signal is a voice signal, executing a frequency conversion of the voice signal via the sound frequency conversion module such that the voice signal becomes a frequency-converted voice signal; if the sound signal is a non-voice signal, adjusting the non-voice signal via the sound equalizer such that the non-voice signal becomes an equalizer-adjusted sound signal.

Claims (15)

1. A sound adjustment method, applied to a sound adjustment system, wherein the sound adjustment system applied to a smartphone comprises a sound receiving module, a sound identification module, a sound frequency conversion module and a sound equalizer, wherein the sound receiving module is a microphone, the sound identification module is used for identifying if a type of a sound signal is a voice signal or a non-voice signal, and the sound frequency conversion module is used for executing a frequency conversion of the voice signal such that the voice signal becomes a frequency-converted voice signal, the sound adjustment method comprising:

via the sound receiving module, receiving the sound signal;

via the sound identification module, identifying the sound signal to determine the type of the sound signal;

if the sound signal is the voice signal, executing the frequency conversion of the voice signal via the sound frequency conversion module such that the voice signal becomes the frequency-converted voice signal; and

if the sound signal is the non-voice signal, adjusting the non-voice signal via the sound equalizer such that the non-voice signal becomes an equalizer-adjusted sound signal.

2. The sound adjustment method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sound identification module is used for identifying if the sound signal can be converted to text to determine if the sound signal is the voice signal.

3. The sound adjustment method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the sound adjustment system further comprises a sound outputting module, the sound outputting module is a speaker, the sound outputting module is electrically connected to the sound frequency conversion module and the sound equalizer, and the sound outputting module is used for outputting the frequency-converted voice signal or the equalizer-adjusted sound signal.

4. A sound adjustment system, applied to a smartphone, comprising:

a sound receiving module, which is a microphone for receiving a sound signal;

a sound identification module, electrically connected to the sound receiving module, wherein the sound identification module is used for identifying the sound signal to determine a type of the sound signal;

a sound frequency conversion module, electrically connected to the sound identification module, wherein the sound frequency conversion module is used for executing a frequency conversion of the voice signal such that the voice signal becomes a frequency-converted voice signal; and

a sound equalizer, electrically connected to the sound identification module;

if the sound identification module determines that the sound signal is a voice signal, the sound frequency conversion module will execute the frequency conversion of the voice signal such that the voice signal becomes the frequency-converted voice signal; if the sound identification module determines that the sound signal is a non-voice signal, the sound equalizer will adjust the sound signal such that the non-voice signal becomes an equalizer-adjusted sound signal.

5. The sound adjustment system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the sound identification module is used for identifying if the sound signal can be converted to text to determine if the sound signal is the voice signal.

6. The sound adjustment system as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising a sound outputting module, and the sound outputting module is a speaker; the sound outputting module is electrically connected to the sound frequency conversion module and the sound equalizer, and the sound outputting module is used for outputting the frequency-converted voice signal or the equalizer-adjusted sound signal.
