Abstract

Disclosed is a smart head-mounted device. The smart head-mounted device comprises a lens and an arm connected to the lens, the same arm being provided with a sound production unit including a first sound production apparatus and a second production apparatus. The first sound production apparatus and a second production apparatus radiate sound waves outward through their respective sound outlets, have opposite phases during operation, and are apart from the same ear hole of a wearer by different distances.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A smart head-mounted device, comprising: a lens, and an arm connected to the lens, the arm provided with a sound production unit including a first sound production apparatus and a second production apparatus, each having a sound outlet;
wherein the first sound production apparatus and the second production apparatus are configured to radiate sound waves having opposite phases outward through the respective sound outlets, and are positioned apart from a common ear hole of a wearer by different distances; and
wherein the arm is provided with a cavity therein where the sound production unit is provided, and is provided thereon with a first sound outlet in communication with a vibrating part of the first sound production apparatus, and a second sound outlet in communication with a vibrating part of the second sound production apparatus; and the arm comprises a connecting portion and a bending portion connected to a first end of the connecting portion, the connecting portion is hinged with the lens at a second end thereof, is provided with a cavity therein, and is formed with a slope towards the ear hole at the first end, the first sound outlet provided on the slope, and the second sound outlet located on a lateral surface or a top surface of the connecting portion.

2. The smart head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the sound outlet of the first sound production apparatus is oriented differently from the sound outlet of the second sound production apparatus.

3. The smart head-mounted device of claim 2 , wherein the sound outlet of the first sound production apparatus is oriented towards the ear hole of the wearer, and the sound outlet of the second sound production apparatus is oriented away from the wearer.

4. The smart head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the first sound production apparatus and the second sound production apparatus respond to a common electrical signal and have opposite polarities.

5. The smart head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the first sound production apparatus and the second sound production apparatus have the same polarity, and have electrical signals with opposite polarities.

6. The smart head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the first sound production apparatus and the second sound production apparatus are of the same model.

7. The smart head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the sound outlet of the first sound production apparatus and the sound outlet of the second sound production apparatus is less than or equal to 30 mm.

8. The smart head-mounted device of claim 1 , wherein the sound outlet of the first sound production apparatus is towards the ear hole of the wearer, and a distance from the sound outlet of the second sound production apparatus to the ear hole is greater than a distance from the sound outlet of the first sound production apparatus to the ear hole.

9. The smart head-mounted device of claim 8 , wherein a difference between the distance from the second sound production apparatus to the ear hole and the distance from the first sound production apparatus to the ear hole is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

10. The smart head-mounted device of claim 8 , wherein the sound outlet of the first sound production apparatus and the sound outlet of the second sound production apparatus are configured for positioning with the ear hole in a line.
