Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve S/N at the time of talking and to improve the quality of speech by notifying so as to speak loudly when a speaker's voice power is not sufficient and a specified S/N is not secured. CONSTITUTION:Voice inputs from a microphone 1 are amplified 2 and inputted to a noise level detecting section 6, a voice level detecting section 7 and an AGC circuit 3. Noise components are extracted by LPF61 of the detecting section 6, and the noise components are converted to a DC level by a smoothing circuit 62 and applied to an S/N detecting section 8. Voice components are extracted by HPF71 of the detecting section 7, and voice components are converted to the DC level by a smoothing circuit 72 and inputted to the circuit 8. The circuit 8 calculates the S/N and inputs it to a voice judging section 9. The voice power of the speaker is judged by the judging section, and when power is not sufficient, it is displayed on the display section 10, and the speaker is notified to speak loudly. The S/N at the time of talking is improved by using the AGC circuit 3 at the same time.

When driving, especially at high speeds with high engine speeds, uphill, in tunnels, or with the windows open, the noise level inside the vehicle may become extremely high, and the input audio S/N may drop significantly. In this case, the speaker does not know at what S/N the other party can hear his or her voice, and the speaker may have low S/N.
There are cases where the user makes an insufficient call without noticing the /N status.

The characteristics of the noise are that in other driving modes (windows are open, uneven roads, inside tunnels, etc.) the frequency range is 0 and the absolute level only increases, and the noise level is 200■ (large near z, rapidly increasing above that). The characteristic of attenuation remains unchanged.

On the other hand, considering the operation of the audio level detection unit 7, the audio input from the microphone 1 is transmitted to the amplification unit 2 along with the noise inside the vehicle.
The signal is inputted to the audio level detection unit 7 via the bypass filter 71Q, where the cutoff frequency fOI (frequency components below fOI, that is, noise components are cut off. On the other hand, the audio frequency band is 0.5 to 4 IG (approximately z). , most of the audio components pass through the bypass filter 71. In other words, only the audio components that pass through the bypass filter 71 are extracted.The extracted noise components are converted to a DC level according to the average level of the audio by a smoothing circuit 72G. converted and output.

An output is output according to the ratio of the sound level (s) to the noise level (N). The display determining section 9 outputs an audio insufficient signal when the output of the S/N ratio detecting section 8, that is, the output of the audio level detecting section 7 is less than a predetermined value. The display section 10 is installed in a place where the speaker can easily see the speaker, and displays a message indicating that the speaker should speak louder when the voice shortage signal is detected. In addition.

In the circuit operation described above, when the noise inside the vehicle increases, one speaker must speak loudly in order to secure the above-mentioned predetermined S/N ratio, and therefore the audio input level increases significantly. The other party may become uncomfortable. However, this does not happen because the AGC circuit 3 connected after the amplifier section 2 controls the audio output level so that it does not exceed a predetermined value.
