The comparing module compares the voice frequency at a prior sampling period with the voice frequency at a current sampling period. The channel switching module switches the channel being watched to another channel when the voice frequency at the prior sampling period is lower than the voice frequency at the current sampling period. | 08-29-2013 |
20130223700 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING PERSONAL DATA VIA FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION - A method protects personal data of an electronic device. Different capacitance values between a plurality of points of a fingertip and an electrode layer of a capacitive touch screen of the electronic device are detectable when the capacitive touch screen is touched by the fingertip, and a representation of a fingerprint is acquired according to distribution of the detected capacitance values. If the acquired fingerprint does not match with any predetermined fingerprint, predetermined personal data of the electronic device is protected. If the acquired fingerprint matches with at least one of the predetermined fingerprints, the protection of the personal data is released. | 08-29-2013 |

The volume adjustment activating module is configured for activating the distance detection module to measure distances between a volume adjusting member and the distance detection module. The distance detection module includes at least one distance sensor, the at least one distance sensor is configured for detecting distances between the volume adjusting member and the distance detection module to obtain a plurality of distance measure values. The adjusting module is configured to adjust a volume of the electronic device according to the distance measure values. | 09-05-2013 |
20130238341 | DEVICE CAPABLE OF PLAYING MUSIC AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MUSIC PLAYING IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device includes a music play module that plays music and a voice recorder that records ambient voice around the electronic device. The electronic device further includes a music control module that identifies voice characteristics of the ambient voice, and controls the music play module to pause the playing of the music when the voice characteristics of the ambient voice match pre-configured voice reference information. | 09-12-2013 |
20130247021 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UPDATING AND UNINSTALLING SOFTWARE - A method for uninstalling and updating software is provided. The method includes: detecting that whether there is at least one icon displayed in the uninstall area or the update area. If there is the icon displayed in the uninstall area, determining a software corresponding to the icon displayed in the uninstall area; and controlling to uninstall the software. If there is the icon displayed in the update area, determining a software corresponding to the icon displayed in the update area; and controlling to update the software. | 09-19-2013 |
20130250731 | WIND DIRECTION DETECTING SYSTEM AND METHOD USING SAME - A wind direction detecting system of electronic apparatus includes an audio collecting module, a direction detecting module, and an analyzing module. The audio collecting module controls an audio collector to collect audio data at predetermined time intervals. The direction detecting module controls a direction sensor to detect a facing direction of electronic apparatus in relation to terrestrial magnetism each time the audio collector collects audio data. The analyzing module determines the facing direction where a greatest amplitude of the graph of audio data is recorded as the wind direction. | 09-26-2013 |
20130252666 | COMMUNICATION TERMINAL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD - A communication terminal device includes a magnetic sensor, a processor, and a power control module. The magnetic sensor detects a current magnetic field generated by induction of internal current in internal circuits of the communication terminal device, and provides a value of strength of the current magnetic field to the processor. The processor compares the value of the strength of the current magnetic field with preset values, and obtains a comparison result. In a situation that the processor determines that the current magnetic field is anomalous according to the comparison result, the processor controls the power control module to withhold power to the communication terminal device. | 09-26-2013 |
20130315420 | AUDIO SIGNAL ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND AUDIO PLAYER HAVING AUDIO SIGNAL ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION - A computerized method adjusts two presented audio signals using an audio player. A first audio signal is received and played through an audio playing unit. When a second audio signal that is inserted to be played is received in time during the playing of the first audio signal, a peak amplitude X of a volume of the first audio signal and a peak amplitude Y of a volume of the second audio signal are extracted. Each of the peak amplitude X and the peak amplitude Y are compared with a predetermined threshold value A. The first audio signal and/or the second audio signal are adjusted according to the comparison, and the first audio signal and/or the second audio signal is outputted to the audio playing unit and played through the audio playing unit according to the adjustment for the first audio signal and/or the second audio signal. | 11-28-2013 |
