Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pair of glasses. The pair of glasses may include a frame, one or more lenses, and one or more temples. The pair of glasses may further include at least one low-frequency acoustic driver, at least one high-frequency acoustic driver, and a controller. The at least one low-frequency acoustic driver may be configured to output sounds from at least two first guiding holes. The at least one high-frequency acoustic driver may be configured to output sounds from at least two second guiding holes. The controller may be configured to direct the low-frequency acoustic driver to output the sounds in a first frequency range and direct the high-frequency acoustic driver to output the sounds in a second frequency range. The second frequency range may include one or more frequencies higher than one or more frequencies in the first frequency range.

Claims (30)

1. A pair of glasses, comprising a frame, a pair of lenses, and a pair of temples connected to the frame, respectively, wherein each of the temples includes:

at least one acoustic driver configured to output sounds from at least two guiding holes on the temple, wherein the at least two guiding holes include a near-ear guiding hole closest to an ear hole of a user among the at least two guiding holes and a far-ear guiding hole that is farther from the ear hole of the user than the near-ear guiding hole,

a ratio of a size of the near-ear guiding hole to a size of the far-ear guiding hole is not less than 1, and

a distance between the near-ear guiding hole and the ear hole of the user is not greater than 2 cm.

2. The glasses of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the size of the near-ear guiding hole to the size of the far-ear guiding hole is not greater than 2.

3. The glasses of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the size of the near-ear guiding hole to the size of the far-ear guiding hole is not less than 5.

4. The glasses of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the size of the near-ear guiding hole to the size of the far-ear guiding hole is not greater than 3.

5. The glasses of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the near-ear guiding hole and the ear hole of the user is not greater than 0.5 cm.

6. The glasses of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one second acoustic driver configured to output sounds from at least two second guiding holes, wherein the at least one acoustic driver is configured to output the sounds in a first frequency range, the at least one second acoustic driver is configured to output the sounds in a second frequency range, the second frequency range including one or more frequencies higher than one or more frequencies in the first frequency range.

7. The glasses of claim 6 , wherein the at least two second guiding holes include a near-ear second guiding hole closest to an ear hole of a user among the at least two second guiding holes and a far-ear second guiding hole that is farther from the ear hole of the user than the near-ear second guiding hole.

8. The glasses of claim 7 , wherein a ratio of a size of the near-ear second guiding hole to a size of the far-ear second guiding hole is not greater than 10.

9. The glasses of claim 7 , wherein a ratio of a size of the near-ear second guiding hole to a size of the far-ear second guiding hole is not greater than 6.

10. The glasses of claim 6 , wherein a first distance is between the at least two guiding holes, a second distance is between the at least two second guiding holes, and the first distance is greater than the second distance.

11. The glasses of claim 10 , wherein the first distance is in a range of 20 millimeters-40 millimeters, and the second distance is in a range of 3 millimeters-7 millimeters.

12. The glasses of claim 10 , wherein the first distance is at least twice of the second distance.

13. The glasses of claim 6 , wherein

the first frequency range includes frequencies lower than 650 Hz, and the second frequency range includes frequencies higher than 1000 Hz.

14. The glasses of claim 13 , wherein the first frequency range overlaps with the second frequency range.

15. The glasses of claim 6 , wherein

the at least one acoustic driver includes a first transducer,

the at least one second acoustic driver includes a second transducer, and

the first transducer and the second transducer have different frequency response characteristics.

16. The glasses of claim 15 , wherein the first transducer includes a low-frequency loudspeaker, and the second transducer includes a high-frequency loudspeaker.

17. The glasses of claim 6 , wherein

at least two first acoustic routes are formed between the at least one acoustic driver and the at least two guiding holes,

at least two second acoustic routes are formed between the at least one second acoustic driver and the at least two second guiding holes, and

the at least two first acoustic routes and the at least two second acoustic routes have different frequency selection characteristics.

18. The glasses of claim 17 , wherein each of the at least two first acoustic routes includes an acoustic resistance material, and an acoustic impedance of the acoustic resistance material is in a range from 5 MKS Rayleigh to 500 MKS Rayleigh.

19. The glasses of claim 1 , wherein the sounds output from the at least two guiding holes have opposite phases.
