FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for reducing noise in voices of a mobile terminal.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Currently, a dual microphone noise reduction technology is used for most mobile terminals in the market. Dual microphone noise reduction means that two microphones are built in a handset, one for clear voice communication and the other for active physical noise reduction where ambient sounds are collected and processed and then a sound wave with an inverted phase to the noise is generated to reduce the noise by using an offsetting principle.
Due to the size of the mobile terminal, it is impossible to place a noise reduction microphone far from a main microphone. Therefore, when noise is filtered, some useful sounds are also filtered, thereby affecting the quality of voice communication and weakening the effect of noise reduction.

The following clearly and describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Embodiment 1
Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for reducing noise in voices of a mobile terminal, which is applicable to devices with voice communication functions such as handsets and tablet computers. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:
101. Select, from a voice headphone and a microphone built in the mobile terminal, a current communicating microphone and a current noise reducing microphone.
The voice headphone is connected to a handset in a wired or wireless manner.
The selecting, from a voice headphone and a microphone built in the mobile terminal, a current communicating microphone and a current noise reducing microphone may be implemented in two methods, specifically:
Method 1: Obtain the audio signal received by the voice headphone and the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal; obtain the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the voice headphone and the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal; compare the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the voice headphone with the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal, and determine greater one audio energy and smaller audio energy in the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the voice headphone and the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal; and select the microphone that receives the audio signal corresponding to the greater audio energy as the current communicating microphone and the microphone that receives the audio signal corresponding to the smaller audio energy as the current noise reducing microphone.
It should be noted that the technical steps provided by the method 1 are performed by the handset automatically after the voice function is enabled and do not need to be set manually by a handset user.
Further, in the method 1, the step of obtaining the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the voice headphone and the audio energy corresponding to the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal is implemented specifically as follows:
In each sampling period of a sampling time window, perform analog-to-digital conversion on the audio signal received by the voice headphone to obtain the sample audio signal of the voice headphone corresponding to each sampling period and perform analog-to-digital conversion on the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal, so as to obtain the sample audio signal of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to each sampling period, where the sampling time window includes at least one sampling period; calculate according to the sample audio signal of the voice headphone corresponding to each sampling period, so as to obtain the one-period audio energy of the voice headphone corresponding to each sampling period and calculate according to the sample audio signal of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to each sampling period, so as to obtain the one-period audio energy of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to each sampling period; determine a sum of the one-period audio energy of the voice headphone corresponding to all sampling periods as the audio energy of the audio signal received by the voice headphone and determine a sum of the one-period audio energy of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to all sampling periods as the audio energy of the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal; or determine a mean value of the one-period audio energy of the voice headphone corresponding to all sampling periods as the audio energy of the audio signal received by the voice headphone and determine a mean value of the one-period audio energy of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to all sampling periods as the audio energy of the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal.
The sampling time window may have one or more than one sampling period and each sampling period may be set to 20 ms. There may be other settings which are not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.
It should be noted that the analog-to-digital conversion is to convert the analog signal received by a microphone to a digital signal through four steps including sampling, holding, quantization, and coding, for example, the converting the audio signal received by the voice headphone to a sample audio signal of the voice headphone and the converting the audio signal received by the microphone built in the mobile terminal to a sample audio signal of the microphone built in the mobile terminal. After the analog-to-digital conversion, calculation may be performed on the digital signal obtained by the analog-to-digital conversion, so as to obtain the corresponding audio energy. Specific implementations of the analog-to-digital conversion and audio energy calculation are commonly known techniques to those skilled in the art and are not described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, it should be noted that, in the method 1, after the voice communication function of the handset is started by a user, the handset obtains the audio signals, which are input through the voice headphone and the microphone built in the mobile terminal, for processing, and thereby a current communicating microphone and a current noise reducing microphone are selected from the voice headphone and the microphone built in the mobile terminal before noise reduction is performed on the audio signal.
To ensure that the user input audio signals are not lost, after the calculating according to the sample audio signal of the voice headphone corresponding to each sampling period to obtain the one-period audio energy of the voice headphone corresponding to each sampling period and calculating according to the sample audio signal of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to each sampling period to obtain the one-period audio energy of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to each sampling period, the audio signals input by the user through the voice headphone and the microphone built in the mobile terminal need to be processed in the embodiment of the present invention. The processing is specifically as follows:
Compare one-period audio energy of the voice headphone with one-period audio energy of the microphone built in the mobile terminal corresponding to the same sampling period and determine greater one-period audio energy and smaller one-period audio energy in the one-period audio energy of the voice headphone and the one-period audio energy of the microphone built in the mobile terminal in the same sampling period; and perform voice coding according to the sample audio signal corresponding to the greater one-period audio in the one-period audio energy of the voice headphone and the one-period audio energy of the microphone built in the mobile terminal in the same sampling period to obtain the audio output signal.
In the above method, in one sampling time window, the process provided by the method needs to be carried out for every sampling period in the sampling time window to ensure that the audio signal input by the user is not lost.
Method 2: Determine a current voice communicating microphone and a current noise reducing microphone according pre-stored microphone configuration information which is used to identify the current voice communicating microphone and the current noise reducing microphone.
The pre-stored microphone configuration information may be the factory configuration of the operating system in a handset or manually set by a user and stored in the handset system. The specific setting method is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.
102. Obtain the audio signal received by the current communicating microphone and the audio signal received by the current noise reducing microphone.
103. Perform noise reduction according to the audio signal received by the current communicating microphone and the audio signal received by the current noise reducing microphone, so as to obtain a noise reduced signal.
The noise reduction process is an audio processing process including: inverting phase of the waveform of the audio signal received by the current noise reducing microphone, superposing the phase-inverted audio signal over the audio signal received by the current communicating microphone, and performing digital filtering on the superposed audio signal. The specific implementation of the noise reduction is commonly known to those skilled in the art and are not described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.
104. Perform voice coding according to the noise reduced signal to generate an audio output signal.
The voice coding may use waveform coding such as PCM (Pulse-code modulation, pulse-code modulation), or parameter coding such as LPC (Linear Predictive Coding, linear predictive coding), or mixed coding with waveform coding and parameter coding. The specific implementation methods of voice coding are all techniques commonly known to those skilled in the art and are not described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, to enhance user experience and meet the needs of voice communication in different environments, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for modifying current microphone configuration information. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:
201. Receive microphone configuration modification information, where the microphone configuration modification information is used to identify a new current communicating microphone and a new current noise reducing microphone.
The microphone configuration information may be input manually by a user according to a practical need through a modification interface provided by the handset system, which may be carried out when the handset is inactive or active in a voice communication. The user may enter the modification interface by using a preset virtual function key or a physical key.
202. Substitute the new current communicating microphone and the new current noise reducing microphone for an old current communicating microphone and an old noise reducing microphone according to the microphone configuration modification information.
With the method for reducing noise in voices of a mobile terminal provided in the embodiment of the present invention, by selecting, from a voice headphone and a microphone built in the mobile terminal, a communicating microphone and a noise reducing microphone, a certain distance is produced between the communicating microphone and the noise reducing microphone, thus reducing the probability of filtering out useful voice information, ensuring the quality of voice communication and improving the effect of noise reduction.
Furthermore, the method provides a function for modifying the microphone configuration information, so that the user may define the communicating microphone and the noise reducing microphone according to a practical need, thus improving user experience.
In addition, because a voice headphone is used, it is unnecessary to embed multiple microphones in a handset, thus reducing the parts of the handset and lowering the producing cost of the handset.
