Earphone and earphone control method

An earphone control method in an earphone configured to be worn by a user, the method comprising:

• picking up an ambient sound of the user;
• a receiving a voice signal from a terminal of a call partner of the user or a music signal from a terminal of the user;
• detecting a periodic sound based on a movement of the user and wind noise generated around the user;
• processing an output sound based on a picked-up sound signal in the picking up of the ambient sound of the user and a detection result in the detecting, wherein
• in case the periodic sound is detected, an operation for adding the ambient sound to the voice signal or the music signal is set ON or OFF in accordance with a level of vibration of the user, and the operation for adding the ambient sound to the voice signal or the music signal is set OFF in response to the level of vibration being less that a first threshold, and
• in case that the wind noise is detected, a volume level of the ambient sound to be added to the voice signal or the music signal is adjusted.

An earphone configured to be worn by a user, the earphone comprising:

• a plurality of sound pickup units configured to pick up ambient sound of the user;
• a speech detection unit configured to detect a presence or an absence of a speech of the user;
• a wind noise detection unit configured to detect whether wind noise is generated around the user based on the ambient sounds picked up by the plurality of sound pickup units;
• and
• a signal processing unit configured to, in case the wind noise is detected, a level of the wind noise is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and the speech of the user is detected, allow a voice signal in a first frequency band, which is higher than a frequency band of the wind noise, among voice signals based on the speech of the user to pass through a band-pass filter, and increase a volume level of the voice signals based on the speech of the user by a first predetermined value.
