The second speaker playing preset audio may include music, recitation, background sound, and the like. The preset audio played by the second speaker can last longer. The first speaker playing sound matching the first type of touch touch operation may include a knocking sound, a raindrop sound, a horn sound, and the like. The audio playback played by the first speaker has a short duration, preferably shorter than the duration of the preset audio played by the second speaker. In particular, the duration of the audio played by the first speaker is the same as the duration of the touch sensed by the flexible touch screen, that is, the length of the touch on the flexible touch screen determines the playing time of the audio of the first speaker. length. In this embodiment, the controller 20 determines the corresponding first speaker 40 according to the touch position of the flexible touch screen 30 corresponding to the first type of touch operation (ie, the touch area 31 that senses the touch is positive. When the first speaker 40) is lower and controls the corresponding first speaker 40 to emit a corresponding sound, the sound emitted by the first speaker 40 and the second speaker 60 emit a preset sound to form a sound. That is, which touch position of the flexible touch screen senses the touch, and the first speaker below the touch position emits a sound. In this way, a spatially sound effect is achieved. Of course, the second speaker 60 can also be used to output a sound responsive to a touch operation when the preset audio is not played. When the touch speaker is playing music through the second speaker, by performing the first type of touch operation on the flexible touch screen 30, the sound corresponding to the first type of touch operation can be added to form a sound with the originally played music. . For example, when the touch speaker plays the piano song, by clicking on the flexible touch screen (the first type of touch operation), the sound of the drum (the sound matched by the first type of touch operation) can be generated, and is generated once per click. The sound of the drum, then the sound can be mixed with the preset audio. Of course, when the second speaker does not play any music, the flexible touch screen 30 is operated, and sound can also be emitted.

The first type of touch operation is a click operation including a click and a double click, and the number of touch points of the click operation is corresponding to the number of sounds, and the controller touches the first type of touch according to the flexible touch screen. The number of touch points operated determines the number of corresponding sounds and controls the speaker to emit a corresponding amount of sound. Of course, the first type of touch operation may also be sliding, wherein the sliding includes single finger sliding and two finger sliding.
