Abstract
An audio transducer device includes an audio transducer, a controller and a direction adjusting mechanism. The audio transducer has a sound receiving surface formed with multiple sound collecting holes, and multiple microphones corresponding in position to the sound collecting holes. The controller is detachably mounted to an electronic device, and controls the microphones to cooperatively perform directional sound reception to obtain audio data. The direction adjusting mechanism interconnects an audio transducer shell and the controller such that the sound receiving surface can be rotated to a position where a normal direction thereof and an image capturing direction of the electronic device forming a desired angle therebetween.
Claims23
An audio transducer device, comprising:
- an audio transducer that includes a transducer shell having a sound receiving surface formed with multiple sound collecting holes, and a microphone module disposed in said transducer shell and including multiple microphones, wherein the microphones correspond in position to said sound collecting holes of said sound receiving surface for receiving sound;
- a controller that is to be detachably mounted and communicatively connected to an electronic device capable of capturing images and that is communicatively connected to said audio transducer, said controller being configured to control said microphones to cooperatively perform directional sound reception to obtain audio data that is to be transmitted to the electronic device;
- and
- a direction adjusting mechanism that interconnects said transducer shell and said controller in such a way that said transducer shell is rotatable relative to said controller for rotating said sound receiving surface to a position where a normal direction of said sound receiving surface and an image capturing direction of the electronic device form an angle as desired by a user therebetween.
An audio transducer system, comprising:
- an audio transducer device that is adapted for being mounted and communicatively connected to an electronic device, that has a sound receiving surface to be rotated to a position where a normal direction of said sound receiving surface and an image capturing direction of the electronic device form an angle as desired by a user therebetween, and that includes a microphone module, said sound receiving surface being formed with multiple sound collecting holes, said microphone module including multiple microphones that correspond in position to said sound collecting holes of said sound receiving surface for receiving sound, and being configured to be controlled by a beamforming technology to perform directional sound reception to pick up sound coming from a sound reception direction that corresponds to a direction data piece received by said audio transducer device;
- and
- a sound pickup control module that is a software program to be installed in the electronic device, and that includes:
- an image tracking unit configured to track a position of a target person in a captured image based on a target feature parameter set that corresponds to the target person to obtain the direction data piece, the captured image being an image captured by the electronic device;
- and
- a sound pickup control unit configured to control the electronic device to transmit the direction data piece to said audio transducer device.
