Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a functional block diagram of an electronic device 300 in cooperation with a telephone 100 and a smart device 400 according to an embodiment. The electronic device 300 and the telephone set 100 function as a voice input unit of a smart device 400. The smart device 400 can be a smart phone or a tablet. For example, when the user picks up the microphone 102 of the telephone 100 and speaks, his voice can be turned into a voice input of the smart device 400 through the electronic device 300. Furthermore, the user does not need to press any button of the telephone 100, and the user's voice can directly instruct the smart device 400 to perform the corresponding work. In this embodiment, the user can directly pick up the traditional push button telephone, and directly speak the voice command of "call Jonn" to the smart device 400 or the smart device 400 for voice recognition.

The telephone 100 has a microphone 102. The telephone set 100 can be a generally commercially available telephone set, such as a Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) telephone set, which is commonly known as a push-button telephone. The telephone set 100 of the present embodiment is a push-button telephone and has a plurality of dialable keys (for example, button 0, button 1, button 2, ..., button *, button #, etc.). The telephone 100, like a microphone, can be used as an analog voice input unit to produce an analog telephone voice signal. In the use of general telephones, such ratios of audio signals will be transmitted to the telephone company to make calls and calls. However, in this embodiment, after the telephone 100 is connected to the electronic device 300, the telephone voice signal generated by the telephone 100 is transmitted to the electronic device 300.

The electronic device 300 includes a connection interface 302 of the telephone 100, a processing unit 308, a communication unit 310, and a memory unit 312. The electronic device 300 can be implemented as a circuit board (such as a PCB), an integrated circuit chip (IC chip), or a router (such as a VoIP router), or a cable modem, or A set-top box (STB, or signal receiving decoder), or as a computer, is not limited. In an embodiment, the electronic device 300 may be disposed within the housing of the telephone 100 as a PCB or IC chip.

The electronic device 300 is coupled to the telephone 100 via a connection interface 302 of the telephone. In this embodiment, the connection interface 302 of the telephone includes an RJ-11 connector 304 and a subscriber line interface circuit (Subscriber Line Interface Circuit, SLIC) 306. The RJ-11 connector 304 can be a male connector and is wired to the telephone 100 via a telephone line 200.

For example, the telephone voice signal S1 is converted from a analog signal to a digital signal by the subscriber line interface circuit 306 and the processing unit 308 to generate digital PCM voice data (referred to as voice data). S2. This conversion can be implemented by PCM and outputs digital PCM data.

The subscriber line interface circuit 306 includes a circuit that converts the analog telephone voice signal S1 generated by the button circuit into a digital PCM voice data S2. The subscriber line interface circuit 306 of the present embodiment does not need to be interfaced to the common Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) telephone system or any telephone company.

In the case of dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) technology, when a user presses a button of the telephone 100, the button pressed by the telephone 100 causes the subscriber line interface circuit 306 to generate a two-tone signal composed of two different frequencies. (So called "Dual Tone Multi-Frequency" technology). The dual tone signal (or button signal) will be detected and converted by the subscriber line interface circuit 306 under the control of the processing unit 308. Therefore, the subscriber line interface circuit 306 will cooperate with the processing unit 308 to control, detect, and convert the DTMF telephone signal to a digital signal.

In an embodiment, the processing unit 308 may include, for example, one or more controllers, processors, or cores, and is coupled to the connection interface 302, the communication unit 310, and the memory unit 312 of the telephone.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 respectively. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the input of the voice signal from the telephone to the smart device by the electronic device of FIG. 1. The method of FIG. 2 includes steps S01 through S06.

Step S01 is to establish a connection between the smart device 400 and the electronic device 300 by, for example, the communication unit 310. The connection may be a Bluetooth connection; in step S02, a voice input unit is simulated to the smart device 400 by, for example, the communication unit 310 of the electronic device 300. Or simply speaking, the communication unit 310 is used to notify the smart device 400 that the electronic device 300 will become a voice input unit. In addition, step S03 is: Detecting through the RJ-11 connector 304 and the subscriber line interface circuit 306 by, for example, the processing unit 308. Whether the microphone 102 of the telephone 100 is picked up; step S04 is: receiving an analog telephone voice signal S1 from the telephone 100 by, for example, the RJ-11 connector 304 and the subscriber line interface circuit 306; step S05 is: by, for example, processing The unit 308 processes the telephone voice signal S1 to generate a PCM voice data S2 to the smart device 400. Finally, step S06 is: transmitting the PCM voice data S2 to the smart device 400 by the communication unit 310 to be used by the analog voice input unit (electronic Apparatus 300) simulates an input action to smart device 400.

Specifically, in step S01 and step S02, the communication unit 310 of the electronic device 300 establishes a Bluetooth connection with the smart device 400. Here, the communication unit 310 sends a message to the smart device 400 based on the Bluetooth protocol, which may be, for example, regarding the ID of the electronic device 300 or the type of the electronic device 300. In the electronic device 300, the built-in message content is a "speech input unit". Therefore, the electronic device 300 can simulate a voice input unit that becomes the smart device 400. Thereafter, the smart device 400 can regard the electronic device 300 as a Bluetooth microphone, and the Bluetooth microphone has the same functions and operating rules as the built-in microphone of the smart device 400 (or the microphone of the smart device 400 itself).

In addition, in step S03, the processing unit 308 detects whether the microphone 102 of the telephone 100 is picked up through the RJ-11 connector 304 and the subscriber line interface circuit 306. For example If the microphone 102 of the telephone 100 is not picked up by the user, the telephone 100 will not generate any signal to the subscriber line interface circuit 306; however, if the microphone 102 of the telephone 100 is picked up by the user, the telephone 100 A signal (e.g., a voltage or current signal) will be generated to the subscriber line interface circuit 306, at which point the signal will trigger the processing unit 308 to cause the processing unit 308 to generate subsequent actions.

In step S04, upon learning that the microphone 102 is picked up, the processing unit 308 will receive the telephone voice signal S1 from the telephone 100 via the RJ-11 connector 304 and the subscriber line interface circuit 306 and over the telephone line 200.

In step S05, the processing unit 308 will process the telephone voice signal S1 transmitted by the subscriber line interface circuit 306 to generate the PCM voice data S2 to the smart device 400. The "processing" of the processing unit 308 includes converting the analog telephone voice signal S1 into digital PCM voice data S2, for example, using a pulse code modulation technique. Therefore, the telephone voice signal S1 will be analogically converted to digital PCM voice material S2 through the subscriber line interface circuit 306 and the processing unit 308. In addition, the subscriber line interface circuit 306 can also detect which button of the telephone 100 is pressed and convert the pressed button into a digit code to simulate a user pressing a keyboard (or pressing a button on the keyboard) ).

In step S06, the electronic device 300 has been simulated as the voice input unit of the smart device 400, so the communication unit 310 will transmit the voice data S2 of the PCM to the smart device 400 through the established connection (for example, Bluetooth connection) to simulate The voice input unit (electronic device 300) simulates an input action to the smart device 400.

In addition, memory unit 312 can store one or more programs that include complex instructions that, when executed by processing unit 308 of electronic device 300, can cause electronic device 300 to perform voice input to telephone 100 The above method to the smart device 400.

For example, if the user picks up the microphone 102 of the telephone 100 and says "call to Mary" to the microphone 102, the PCM voice data S2 will contain the voice command "call to Mary" and be transmitted by the communication unit 310. After being sent to the smart device 400 by the wireless output/input unit 402, after the processing unit 404 analyzes the PCM voice data S2, the smart device 400 will dial Mary's phone number according to the "call to Mary" task command to pass the wired/ Wireless network access unit 408 establishes a connection to Mary's telephone. In addition, the voice command can also control elements or functions of the smart device 400, such as turning the display unit 406 off or on.

In addition, in step S15, the content of the voice-recognized PCM voice data S2 can also be converted into text, and the text can be automatically input to a search engine (such as a Google search engine) to find related information.

In addition, in steps S16 and S17, because of different keys of the telephone 100 When pressed, different DTMF signals can be generated.
