The present invention relates to a listening assistant circuit of a mobile communication terminal and a mobile communication terminal having the same embedded therein, and more particularly, to a mobile communication terminal equipped with a listening assistant function so that people with hearing disabilities can use the mobile communication terminal. A listening assistant circuit and a mobile communication terminal having the same are provided.

Currently, there is a growing demand for mobile communication terminals equipped with hearing aids for the hearing impaired in the field of mobile communication terminals such as CDMA / GSM / WCDMA terminals and PDAs. According to the regulations of the Commission, since 2001, mobile communication terminals that do not have a hearing aid function have been banned.

Hearing Aid is a representative technology for hearing aids. Hearing aids are personal electrical amplifiers used to compensate for hearing loss. They are equipped with induction pick-up coils and radiate from the induction loop system of the telephone. By amplifying the magnetic field, the hearing impaired person can hear the phone.

1 is a view showing an example of a conventional ear speaker.

As shown in the figure, the ear speaker 10 includes a permanent magnet 11 forming a magnetic field, a pole piece 12 constituting a magnetic circuit together with the permanent magnet 11, and the permanent magnet. A voice coil 13 wound around the magnet 11 and the pole piece 12, and a diaphragm 14 installed on the front of the pole piece 12, the frame 15 and the cover. These are built in by (16), and by the connection terminal 17, the ear speaker 10 is connected to the ear microphone terminal of the mobile communication terminal (not shown in the drawing), and the audio signal from the mobile communication terminal is transmitted through the ear speaker. To print.

The ear speaker 10 is a static magnetic field is formed by the permanent magnet 11, when the audio signal is input from the mobile communication terminal and a current flows in the voice coil is formed a dynamic magnetic field generates a Lorentz force . At this time, since the audio signal is alternating current, the polarity is converted in a very short period (about 1/1000 second), and the change of the polarity inverts the direction of the Lorentz force, resulting in the attraction force and the repulsive force, which is the pulling force. do.

The magnitude of the Lorentz force is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic force line (magnetic flux density), the amount of current, and the length of the wound voice coil, and the direction of the force is perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic flux density and the current, that is, the upper and lower sides of the diaphragm 14. Act in the direction.

Therefore, the vibration plate 14 vibrates up and down by this Lorentz force, and resonance occurs according to the internal structure of the ear speaker, thereby outputting sound.

2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a conventional ear speaker with a listening aid.

The ear speaker having a conventional listening assistant function is provided with a hearing aid coil (Hearing Aid Coil) 18 inside the cover 16 of the ear speaker shown in FIG. By making this cascade, the listening function is improved by the leakage magnetic force.

That is, a part of the magnetic force generated by the voice coil 13 is leaked to the outside of the ear speaker. The magnetism generated by the voice coil 13 affects the layered listening auxiliary coil 18 so that the induced auxiliary electromotive force is generated in the listening auxiliary coil 18. This electromotive force differs only in magnitude from the audio signal input to the ear speaker and has the same frequency.

Therefore, since the sound output from the ear speaker having the listening assistance function is combined with the sound signal by the voice coil and the acoustic signal by electromotive force induced in the listening assistance coil 18, the hearing impaired person may use a general ear speaker. You hear better than ever.

In other words, the ear speaker with the listening aid function has a very high impedance and the impedance is proportional to the magnetic field strength, compared to the general ear speaker, so the strength of the magnetic field is strengthened so that the general ear speaker can be applied to people with hearing impairment. This makes the sound much better than when listening to the voice / sound output from the mobile communication terminal.

7 is a graph of a response characteristic of an ear speaker having a conventional listening assistance function, and illustrates a response region according to frequency.

By the way, the ear speaker with the conventional listening assistance function is to increase the impedance of the ear, that is, to increase the strength of the magnetic field so that people with hearing impairment can hear sound well, the thickness of the coil, the number of windings, the ear for resonance The thickness of the speaker itself was inevitably considered.

That is, in order to enhance the strength of the magnetic field, the thickness of the coil must be made thicker, the number of windings may be increased, and the thickness of the ear speaker itself may be increased in order to satisfy better resonance conditions.

However, current electronic products tend to be smaller and lighter, which is against the trend of the times, and the large ear speaker is inconvenient for users to use. In addition, the ear speaker currently used is not a one-way type that can only listen to voice, but a two-way type that enables voice listening and voice input, that is, an ear microphone type.
