In order to make the above-mentioned contents of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment will be described below, and in conjunction with the drawings, a detailed description is as follows:

The following is a detailed description of the embodiments, which are intended to be illustrative only and not to limit the scope of the invention. In addition, the drawings in the embodiments omit unnecessary elements to clearly show the technical features of the present invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a block diagram of a handheld electronic device 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The handheld electronic device 100 of the present embodiment includes a processing unit 110, a storage unit 120, a sound capturing unit 130, a sounding unit 140, a filtering unit 150, an identifying unit 160, and a determining unit 170. The storage unit 120 is, for example, a dynamic access memory, an SD card, or the like for storing data. The sound capturing unit 130 is, for example, a microphone for capturing the sound of the surrounding environment. The sounding unit 140 is, for example, a horn for sounding. The filtering unit 150 is configured to filter noises in the sound, such as the sound of an ambulance or the sound of an electronic signal. The identification unit 160 is configured to identify sounds of the specific sounds and audios in the sounds captured by the sound capturing unit 130, and can be used to calculate the sounds of the specific tones and audios in the captured sounds. The number of times. The determining unit 170 is configured to determine whether a preset condition is reached, for example, whether the time has exceeded six points. The processing unit 110 is configured to process various materials.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a flow chart of a method for adjusting the ring of the handheld electronic device 100 . Please also refer to Figure 1. Before entering the process, a plurality of target sounds are provided to the storage unit 120 of the handheld electronic device 100, and the target sounds include vocal voiceprints and pronunciations of keywords, such as the voice of the supervisor A, the voice of the friend B, The pronunciation of the meeting and the pronunciation of the movie. Each of them has a specific frequency, which is unique like a fingerprint, with no interference from language or tone changes.

The manner in which the target sound is provided is, for example, that the user uses the sound capturing unit 130 to capture a specific sound, such as a continuous numeric string, a sentence or a phrase, and recognizes the specific sound through the identification unit 160. It has vocal voiceprints and keyword pronunciation. The identification unit 160 can recognize the keywords of the same result even if the same keyword is issued by different people. After that, the user selects whether the desired target voice is vocal voice or keyword pronunciation, or both. Then, the vocal voice pattern, the keyword pronunciation, or both are stored in the storage unit 120 and given a specific file name, which is the target sound. The storage unit 120 stores, in addition to the plurality of target sounds, corresponding adjustment settings corresponding to the plurality of target sounds. For example, please refer to the third figure, corresponding to the corresponding adjustment of the supervisor A voiceprint, the "vibration, silent mode".

In step S210, the sound sample unit 130 is used to capture the sound sample of the surrounding environment, wherein the step of extracting the sound sample is to take the sound sample for 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and then proceeds to step S220. The sound capturing unit 130 starts the action of capturing the ambient sound sample, and may be initiated by the user pressing a specific key, or the user may set a certain time, for example, the working time, and the sound capturing unit 130 The action of capturing the ambient sound samples is automatically started. Either way, it does not depart from the scope of the invention.

In step S220, the environmental noise of the sound sample is cancelled by the filtering unit 150, for example, a sound smaller than a preset volume, for example, a sound whose sound intensity is less than a predetermined value, or an ambulance whose frequency is less than 1 time. Sound, or the sound of a predetermined device. Then, the process proceeds to step S230.

In step S230, the number of occurrences of each target sound in the sound sample is identified via the recognition unit 170. For example, if the capturing time period of the sound capturing unit 130 is 10 minutes, and within 10 minutes, the sound pattern of the supervisor A appears 6 times, and the voice of the friend B appears 5 times, "the meeting The pronunciation appeared twice, and the pronunciation of "movie" appeared 0 times. Then, in the step of recognizing the number of occurrences of each target sound in the sound sample, it is possible to recognize and know that the number of times the voice of the supervisor A appears 6 times, and the number of times the voice of the friend B appears 5 times, "meeting" The pronunciation appears 2 times, and the pronunciation of "movie" appears 0 times.

In step S240, the determining unit 170 determines whether the highest number of occurrences of each target sound is greater than a predetermined number of times, for example, four times. For example, suppose that the number of voiceprints of supervisor A is 6 times, the number of voiceprints of friend B is 5 times, the number of occurrences of "meeting" is 2 times, and the number of times the pronunciation of "movie" appears It is 0 times. In this step, first determine the target sound of the person with the highest number of occurrences, and then determine whether the number of occurrences of the target sound is greater than a preset number of times. In this example, the target sound of the highest number of occurrences is the supervisor A, and the number of occurrences is 6 times, so the target sound with the highest number of occurrences is greater than 4 times of the preset number of times. If the highest number of times is greater than the preset number of times, the process proceeds to step S250.

In step S250, the setting of the ringing sound is adjusted according to one of the target sounds corresponding to the highest number of times. Please refer to FIG. 3 , which illustrates a setting interface for setting a target sound and a corresponding ring setting on the handheld electronic device 100 . The target sound can be searched for the desired file from the voiceprint or keyword pronunciation file stored in the storage unit 120 by the voice pattern/keyword pull-down option 310, and the ringtone is set by ringing. The bell setting option 320 is used to set the ring setting. In addition, the preset number of times can be set by switching the condition option 330, whereby the threshold for switching the ring setting can be increased. And the function on setting 340 can be used to set whether the ring adjustment setting is to be turned on. The tolerance setting 350 is because the sound capturing unit 130 cannot accurately capture the file of the target sound due to cost considerations or technical limitations. At this time, the voiceprint or the keyword captured can be set by the tolerance setting 350, and the target sound to be determined is still determined within a certain error range.

In this embodiment, if the number of voiceprints of the supervisor A is the highest and exceeds the preset number of times, the corresponding adjustment is "turning to vibration" and switching to "silent mode", and the other voices of the voices and the keywords are pronounced by this. analogy. That is, since the number of occurrences of the voiceprint of the supervisor A is the highest and the number of occurrences is also greater than the preset number of times, the processing unit 110 adjusts the setting of the ringing sound according to the sound of the supervisor A, that is, converts the handheld electronic device into Shake and be in silent mode. When there is an incoming call, the sounding unit 140 and the vibration unit 180 in the handheld electronic device 100 respectively emit preset bells and vibrations according to the setting of the ringing sound.

If the determination unit 170 determines in step S240 that the highest number of occurrences of each target sound is less than a predetermined number of times, the process proceeds to step S260. In step S260, the setting of the ringing sound of the handheld electronic device 100 maintains the original setting mode, and the entire flow step is ended.

Although this embodiment uses the "voice of the supervisor A" corresponding to the "vibration, silent mode" to appear the highest number of times, and the preset number of times as an example, but the general knowledge in this field should be clear, the highest number of occurrences The target sound is affected by the variables of the surrounding environment at that time; the number of times other than the preset number of times is obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art, and the preset number of times is 4 times. Other times are not beyond the scope of the present invention.

The method for adjusting the ring of the handheld electronic device disclosed in the embodiment and the handheld electronic device using the same can set a comparison table by setting the target sound and the setting interface of the corresponding ring setting, when the sound capturing unit is used. If the sounds taken by the 130 have a specific vocal voiceprint or keyword pronunciation, and the number of occurrences exceeds a predetermined number of times, the sounding unit 140 and the vibration unit 180 of the handheld electronic device 100 will be preset to correspond to the specific The ringing of the vocal voiceprint or keyword pronunciation is used to make a ringing sound and vibration. In this way, the user of the handheld electronic device 100 does not have to control the ring setting in a conventional manner, and the user who is inconvenient to act with both hands or enters an environment that is free to answer the call is inconvenient to answer. The user of the telephone environment has the result of easier adjustment of the ring setting, which is not available in conventional methods.

In view of the above, the present invention has been disclosed in a preferred embodiment, and is not intended to limit the present invention.
