Abstract
Wearable devices may include a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and having a speaker nozzle part, and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction and having at least one microphone hole. A speaker and a microphone are disposed in the housing, the microphone configured to collect an acoustic signal. A partition wall is positioned between the speaker and the microphone. A first space is defined between the speaker and the partition wall, a first path is provided for connecting the speaker and the speaker nozzle part, and a second path, separated from the first space by the partition wall, connects the microphone and the first path.
Claims19
A wearable device comprising:
- a housing comprising a first surface facing a first direction and having a speaker nozzle part exposed to an outside and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction and having at least one microphone hole;
- a speaker disposed in the housing;
- a microphone disposed in the housing to collect an acoustic signal;
- and
- a partition wall arranged between the speaker and the microphone,
- wherein a first path is defined to connect the speaker nozzle part and a first space between the speaker and the partition wall,
- wherein the housing further comprises a protruding portion forming an entirety of the first path,
- wherein an end of the protruding portion surrounds the speaker nozzle part,
- wherein the microphone is disposed outside the protruding portion,
- wherein a second path is defined to connect the microphone and the first path and diverges from the first path along the partition wall,
- wherein the second path is separated from the first space by the partition wall, and
- wherein the acoustic signal is transmitted from the speaker nozzle part to the microphone along the partition wall through an opening formed at an outer side wall of the protruding portion.
A wearable device comprising:
- a housing comprising a first surface facing a first direction and having a speaker nozzle part exposed to an outside and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction and having a microphone hole;
- a speaker disposed in the housing;
- an electronic component disposed in parallel to a part spaced apart from the speaker and configured to collect an acoustic signal;
- a first path connecting the speaker nozzle part and a resonance space of the speaker;
- a second path connecting the electronic component and the first path;
- and
- a partition wall spatially partitioning the resonance space of the speaker and the electronic component,
- wherein the housing further comprises a protruding portion forming an entirety of the first path,
- wherein an end of the protruding portion surrounds the speaker nozzle part,
- wherein the microphone is disposed outside the protruding portion,
- wherein the second path diverges from the first path along the partition wall, and
- wherein the acoustic signal is transmitted from the speaker nozzle part to the microphone along the partition wall through an opening formed at an outer side wall of the protruding portion.
