Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a talking opposite party to easily listen to a voice by providing a filter interrupting external noise picked up by a microphone when a window of a vehicle is opened to the telephone set. CONSTITUTION:There are external noise signals reaching a microphone installed in a cabin in general such as engine noise from its own automobile and other automobile, air-conditioner sound of its own automobile, and wind break noise. Especially, when a window is open, wind break noise and engine noise of other automobile are increased remarkably. Then a noise component analysis section 4 picks up a signal component appearing in steady-state for a prescribed time in excess of a prescribed amplitude level among the sound at a voice frequency band picked up by the microphone 3 and analyzes the frequency. Then the filter 5 interrupts the prescribed frequency. Thus, an opposite party easily hears the voice.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a car telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the window opening/closing detection unit l detects whether the vehicle window is open or not, and when the vehicle window is closed, the changeover switch 2 is set to the position shown, so that the voice picked up by the microphone 3 is directly transmitted to the telephone. The data is sent to the telephone transmitting/receiving device 7 via the adapter 6. However, when the window is open, the selector switch 2 is turned to the opposite side to the above-mentioned side, and a predetermined signal is sent to the noise component analysis section 4. As a result, the audio signal from the microphone 3 is input to the low frequency filter 5 and simultaneously input to the noise component analysis section 4.
