JPS61212995A - Headset microphone support device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To fix the relative positional relation between mouth and a microphone by supporting the head set microphone by both ears and the forehead. CONSTITUTION:A close talking microphone 1 is attached to one end of a microphone supporting boom 2, the other end of the boom is fixed by passing through a holder 4 rotatably supported by a hair band 3 and secured by a set screw 5. A deviation-preventing metal fixture 6 is fixed by being passed through the boom 2 and fixed to the band 3 by a stay 7 and a set screw 8. An ear pad 9 and sponge pads 10, 11 are mounted to the band 3. By such an arrangement, the relative position of the microphone 1 is not deviated since it is fixed by the ear pad 9 and the forehead to the fore and rear directions and by the ear pad 9 and the spring force of the band 3 to the vertical direction.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a headset microphone device, and particularly to a headset microphone device suitable for a close-talking microphone for voice recognition input.

[Background of the invention]

For example, a headset microphone device used in a conventional voice recognition device as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 57-179673, Nos. 21 and 22, is as shown in FIG. The headset microphone device itself is fixed by simply pressing down on the ear or the temporal region near the ear using the force of the spring, and the position of the microphone can be freely adjusted. However, this method can sometimes lead to errors, and in many cases the user is not aware of it. Furthermore, since it is not clear where the headset microphone device should be set, the setting position differs each time the headset microphone device is worn, and when the headset microphone device is used as an input means for voice recognition, the recognition rate of voice input is significantly reduced. There is a problem of lowering or increasing it. In other words, as a headset microphone device for voice input, the close-talking microphone 1 must have directivity to prevent external noise from entering, and at the same time must maintain a constant distance from the mouth at all times. Regarding the special features of the device (recognition rate of vowels and consonants), determine whether to place microphone 1 in the center of the mouth or at the edge; in other words, always maintain the correct position relative to the individual's mouth. There is a need. However, because conventional headset microphone devices do not have a mechanism to fix the relative position between the mouth and the microphone, this positional relationship collapses each time it is worn, and also collapses during work, resulting in a reduction in recognition rate. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a microphone set that can significantly reduce the problem and keep the relative positional relationship between an individual's mouth and the microphone constant at all times.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention focuses on the fact that in order to fix the relative positional relationship between the mouth and the microphone, the microphone itself must always be held in a fixed position relative to the mouth, and uses both ears as fixed coordinates of the human head. The front of the head is selected, and the headset microphone is supported by both ears and the front of the head.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. A close-talking microphone 1 is attached to one end of a microphone support boom 2, and the other end of the microphone support boom 2 is attached to a holder 4 rotatably supported on a hair band 3 through the holder 4, which is fixed with a set screw 5. . In addition, the microphone support boom 2 has an anti-shake fitting 6 in the middle part thereof to prevent the microphone 1 from swinging, and the hair band 3 has ear flaps 9 at both ends.
Sponge pads 10.41 are attached to the frontal part of the head that contacts the forehead and both ends that contact the temporal parts to prevent the skin from slipping, and at the same time, the spring action prevents the head from slipping. This reduces the burden on the department. Further, in FIG. 2, the earmuffs 9 are made as independent parts, and are tightly fitted into the hair band so that they can be adjusted according to the head spacing that varies from person to person.

With the above configuration, the hair band is set on the head according to the shape of the individual's head, and the microphone is aligned in front of the mouth and fixed to the hair band with the fixing screw.
The relative position of the microphone does not shift due to the earmuffs and forehead in the front-back direction, and the spring force of the hair band and the earmuffs in the vertical direction.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the relative position of the close-talking microphone 1 to the mouth once set is basically felt by the person's ears and forehead, there is an effect that a deviation can be detected. This headset device has the effect of being easily accepted by women due to their fashion sense for hair, and the use of this headset device has the effect of improving the voice recognition rate.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. A hair band that extends from the forehead to the sides of the head, wraps around the head more than half the way, and is formed in a horseshoe shape so as to press down both sides of the head with a spring action, and this hair band is provided with ear hooks. A headset microphone support device, characterized in that the microphone support boom is movably supported. 2. The headset microphone support device according to claim 1, wherein the ear hook provided on the hair band is a separate component and is tightly inserted into the hair band.
