Abstract

An audio signal distribution control system includes a control circuit provided with a device selecting unit, and electrically connected to a plurality of audio signal generating devices; a plurality of control units electrically connected to the control circuit to receive audio signals output thereto by the control circuit and to output control signals to the control circuit; and a plurality of sound producing devices separately connected to the control units. The control units separately select one of the audio signal generating devices via the device selecting unit of the control circuit, and the sound producing devices are adjustable to different sound volumes via the control units.

Claims

1. An audio signal distribution control system, comprising:

a control circuit provided with a device selecting unit, and electrically connected to a plurality of audio signal generating devices;

a plurality of control units electrically connected to the control circuit to receive audio signals output thereto by the control circuit and to output control signals to the control circuit; and

a plurality of sound producing devices separately connected to the control units; and

wherein the control units separately select one of the audio signal generating devices via the device selecting unit of the control circuit, and the sound producing devices are adjustable to different sound volumes via the control units.

2. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control units respectively have an operation control interface, via which a user inputs control signals.

3. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of first remote controllers, with which a user inputs control signals to the control units.

4. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control units are separately electrically connected to the control circuit via a wideband signal cable each.

5. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control units are separately electrically connected to the sound producing devices via an external amplifier each.

6. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control units are connected to one another in series before being electrically connected to the control circuit.

7. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one hub connected between the control circuit and the control units.

8. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the sound producing devices includes at least one loudspeaker.

9. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the audio signal generating devices are selected from the group consisting of a CD player, a DVD player, an MP3 player, and other types of audio sources.

10. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control units are adapted to receive audio signals transmitted from a mobile audio signal generating device for playing via the sound producing devices.

11. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the mobile audio signal generating device is a portable computer.

12. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile audio signal generating device is a PDA.

13. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile audio signal generating device is a walkman.

14. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile audio signal generating device is a mobile phone.

15. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile audio signal generating device transmits audio signals to the control units using infrared communication technique.

16. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile audio signal generating device transmits audio signals to the control units using Bluetooth communication technique.

17. The audio signal distribution control system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile audio signal generating device transmits audio signals to the control units using microwave communication technique.
