Abstract

A shake responsive media player is provided. The media player comprises, a motion sensor, a storage unit, a motion state determining unit, a media file determining unit, and a processing unit. The motion sensor is used for detecting a shaking motion imparted to the media player by a user. The storage unit stores at least one group of media files associated with each other having same contents and different sampling rates and a table defining relationships between shaking levels of the shaking motion and the sampling rates of the at least one group of media files. The motion state determines one of the shaking levels of the media player according to signals from the motion sensing unit. The a media file determining unit, when a first media file of the at least one group of media files is playing, determines a second media file associated with the first media file having the sampling rate corresponding to the shaking level determined by the motion state determining unit according to the table.

Claims

1. A shaking responsive media player comprising:

a motion sensing unit capable of detecting a shaking motion imparted to the media player by a user;

a storage unit storing at least one group of media files associated with each other having same contents and different sampling rates and a table defining relationships between shaking levels of the shaking motion and the sampling rates of the at least one group of media files;

a motion state determining one of the shaking levels of the shaking motion according to signals from the motion sensing unit;

a media file determining unit, wherein when a first media file of the at least one group of media files is playing, the media file determining unit determines a second media file associated with the first media file having the sampling rate corresponding to the shaking level determined by the motion state determining unit according to the table; and

a processing unit playing the second media file until the shaking level determined by the motion state determining unit changes.

2. The shaking responsive media player according to claim 1, wherein the motion sensing unit is an acceleration sensor.

3. The shaking responsive media player according to claim 2, wherein the shaking levels of the media player is determined by acceleration values of the shaking motion.

4. The shaking responsive media player according to claim 1, wherein the sampling rates of the at least one group of media files range from 32 kHz to 8 kHz.

5. The shaking responsive media player according to claim 1, wherein the media player is one of a personal digital assistant and a cellular phone.

6. The shaking responsive media player according to claim 1, wherein the second media file is played from the location where the first media file left off.
