Method and system for managing sound playing mode, and computer program thereof Product

The present invention relates to a method and system for managing sound playback, and more particularly to a method and system for waiting for a specific period of time before sound playback, and for which the user can select a sound playback mode during the specific period.

In recent years, portable devices, such as smart phones or notebook computers, have become more sophisticated and powerful. For example, a portable device can have network connectivity. Users can use the portable device to connect to the Internet anytime and anywhere to browse the Internet and conduct related applications and services through the network. Thanks to the convenience of these devices and their functions, these devices have become one of the must-have items for modern people, and they are frequently used in life anytime and anywhere.

With the popularity of smart phone network communication applications, users can perform network communication applications on smart phones to communicate with friends online. In general, users can enter text messages or record a voice message to send to a specific friend, or a group of members. A specific friend or group member can read this text message or voice message immediately or when they are available.

In general, when a user wants to read a voice message, the user can directly select a representative icon of the corresponding voice message through the touch screen. After the representative icon is clicked, the playback of the corresponding sound will be immediately performed through the speaker of the smart phone. Since the user may listen to the sound message in different occasions, playing the sound through the speaker will form a privacy issue of the sound playing. In some technologies, during a playback operation of a corresponding sound, when the user needs to listen to the sound in private, the user can move the mobile phone to the ear, and the mobile phone switches from the speaker to the earpiece to perform the sound playing operation. Although the aforementioned techniques can increase the privacy of sound playback, However, since the playback operation of the corresponding sound is switched between different sounding units, the integrity of the sound playback will be greatly compromised. In other words, the user may not be able to hear the complete sound, but needs to repeat the sound playing operation.

In view of this, the present invention provides a method and system for managing a sound playback mode in which a specific period of time can be waited for before a playback operation of the corresponding sound is performed. During this specific period, the user can select different ways to play the sound, thereby increasing the diversity and confidentiality of the sound playback.

Similarly, in some embodiments, the user can select a representative icon of the corresponding sound through the touch screen to generate an instruction to perform the corresponding sound playing operation. It should be noted that the foregoing instructions are generated only in the embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. When the instruction of the playback operation of the corresponding sound is not received (NO in step S310), the determination in step S310 is continued. When the instruction of the playback operation of the corresponding sound is received (YES in step S310), in step S320, a specific period is awaited before the playback operation of the corresponding sound is performed. Similarly, in some embodiments, A prompt message can be generated before the corresponding sound playing operation is performed. In some embodiments, the prompt message can include a sound, a text, a sound, at least one image, and/or an animation, and the like. The prompt message can remind the user how to select the sound to play. In some embodiments, the particular period may be during a period in which the corresponding prompt message appears in the electronic device.

First, in step S410, it is determined whether an instruction to perform a play operation of a corresponding sound is received. Similarly, in some embodiments, the user can select a representative icon of the corresponding sound through the touch screen to generate an instruction to perform the corresponding sound playing operation. It should be noted that the foregoing instructions are generated only in the embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. When the instruction of the playback operation of the corresponding sound is not received (NO in step S410), the determination in step S410 is continued. When the instruction of the playback operation of the corresponding sound is received (YES in step S410), in step S420, a certain period of time is waited before the playback operation of the corresponding sound is performed. Similarly, in some embodiments, a prompt message can be generated prior to the playing of the corresponding sound. In some embodiments, the prompt message can include a sound, a text, a sound, at least one image, and/or an animation, and the like. The prompt message can remind the user how to select the sound to play. In some embodiments, the particular period may be during a period in which the corresponding prompt message appears in the electronic device. Then, in step S430, it is determined whether one of the electronic devices is adjacent to the sensor to detect the occurrence of the corresponding object during the specific period. When the proximity sensor does not detect the occurrence of the corresponding object within a certain period of time (NO in step S430), the operation of step S460 is performed. When the proximity sensor detects the occurrence of the corresponding object in a certain period of time (YES in step S430), in step S440, it is determined in a specific period whether the data of one of the electronic device's motion sensor detecting electronic device is displayed as a specific action or electronic device in a particular The point in time, such as whether the gesture at the end of the action is a specific gesture, such as substantially equal to the posture when the electronic device is placed near the user's ear.

It is reminded that in some embodiments, changes in data, such as displacement, velocity, and/or angular acceleration, of the corresponding electronic device detected by the motion sensor during a given period of time may be recorded. In some embodiments, determining whether the electronic device generates a specific action can determine whether the change in the data within the predetermined period meets a predetermined change in one of the corresponding specific actions. If it is met, it means that the electronic device generates this specific action. When the motion sensor detects that the data of the electronic device is displayed as a specific action or a specific gesture (YES in step S550), in step S560, the playback operation of the corresponding sound is performed through one of the earpieces of the electronic device. When the motion sensor detects that the data display of the electronic device is not a specific action or a specific posture (NO in step S550), in step S570, the corresponding sound playing operation is performed through one of the speakers of the electronic device.
