Abstract

A wireless signal receiving apparatus for receiving a wireless signal is disclosed. The wireless signal receiving apparatus includes a main body and a clamping device. The main body includes a signal processing module installed in a housing of the main body for processing the wireless signal. The clamping device is fixedly coupled to the housing for providing a force in order to fix an object between the housing and the clamping device, thereby clamping the wireless signal receiving apparatus upon the object.

Claims

1. A wireless signal receiving apparatus, for receiving a wireless signal, comprising:

a main body, comprising a signal processing module installed in a housing of the main body for processing the wireless signal; and

a clamping device, fixedly coupled to the housing, for providing a force in order to fix an object between the housing and the clamping device, thereby clamping the wireless signal receiving apparatus upon the object.

2. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 1, wherein the wireless signal is a Bluetooth signal.

3. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 1, wherein an external top surface of the housing holds a set of operating interfaces, and an external bottom surface of the housing is connected to the clamping device.

4. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 3, wherein the set of operating interfaces comprises:

an activation control interface, for selectively activating the wireless signal receiving apparatus;

a volume control interface, for controlling an output volume of the wireless signal receiving apparatus; and

an output display interface, for displaying an operating status of the wireless signal receiving apparatus.

5. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 4 further comprising:

a speaker device installed in the housing;

wherein the signal processing module drives the speaker device according to the wireless signal, and adjusts the output volume of the speaker device according to a volume control signal received by the volume control interface.

6. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 4, wherein the output display interface comprises at least an indicating light for indicating the operating status of the wireless signal receiving apparatus.

7. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 3 further comprising:

an earphone socket, installed at an external side surface of the housing;

wherein when an earphone is plugged into the earphone socket, the signal processing module drives the earphone according to the wireless signal.

8. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 7 wherein the signal process module drives the earphone to output stereo sound according to the wireless signal.

9. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 3 further comprising:

a charging socket, installed at an external side surface of the housing;

wherein when an external charger is plugged into the charging socket, the external charger charges a power supply module of the wireless signal receiving apparatus via the charging socket.

10. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a strap bar for installing a phone strap.

11. The wireless signal receiving apparatus of claim 1, wherein the clamping device comprises:

an axis;

a clip, rotatably coupled to the axis; and

a leaf spring, with a terminal fixedly coupled to the housing and the other terminal, for providing a force to the clip for fixing the object between the housing and the clip.
