Abstract

A voice triggering control device for enabling a data collection host which assembled on it comprises a processing unit, a speaker, a control module, a power supply module and a housing containing the elements disclosed above. The control device controls the processing unit to output a high-frequency audio signal which is corresponded to an act command Then, broadcasting a high-frequency audio through the speaker, wherein the high-frequency audio is generated by the high-frequency audio signal, and the data collection host is enabled to perform the act command while receiving and decoding the high-frequency audio. Thereby, making the triggering control device enabling the data collection host proceed a functional action by the high-frequency audio can solve the contact fault problem in the prior art.

Claims

1. A voice triggering control device, used for enabling a data collection host connected to the voice triggering control device to execute a corresponding functional action, and the voice triggering control device comprising:

a processing unit, for outputting a high-frequency audio signal corresponding to the functional action;

a speaker, electrically coupled to the processing unit, for playing a high-frequency audio according to the high-frequency audio signal to enable the data collection host to execute the functional action;

a control module, electrically coupled to the processing unit, for controlling an output of the high-frequency audio signal;

a power supply module, electrically coupled to the processing unit and the speaker, for supplying a required power; and

a housing, for accommodating the processing unit, the speaker, the control module and the power supply module, and having a connection portion for coupling the data collection host.

2. The voice triggering control device of claim 1, wherein the high-frequency audio signal has a frequency ranges from 15000 Hz to 20000 Hz.

3. The voice triggering control device of claim 1, wherein the housing includes a holding structure.

4. The voice triggering control device of claim 1, wherein the control module includes a press-button switch for outputting a start signal to control an output of the high-frequency audio signal.

5. The voice triggering control device of claim 1, wherein the connection portion is a connecting tenon.

6. The voice triggering control device of claim 1, wherein the power supply module is a rechargeable battery module.

7. The voice triggering control device of claim 1, wherein the functional action is a scanning action or an image capturing action.

8. A voice triggering control method, used for enabling a data collection host connected to the voice triggering control device to execute a corresponding functional action, and the voice triggering control method comprising the steps of:

(a) using a control module of the voice triggering control device to control a processing unit, such that the processing unit outputs a high-frequency audio signal corresponding to the functional action;

(b) using a speaker of the voice triggering control device to play a high-frequency audio according to the high-frequency audio signal; and

(c) letting the data collection host receive and decode the high-frequency audio to enable the data collection host to execute the functional action.

9. The voice triggering control method of claim 8, wherein the processing unit in Step (a) outputs the high-frequency audio signal with a frequency ranging from 15000 Hz to 20000 Hz.

10. The voice triggering control method of claim 8, wherein the processing unit in Step (a) decodes an instruction to generate the high-frequency audio signal according to the functional action.

11. The voice triggering control method of claim 8, wherein the data collection host in Step (c) receives the high-frequency audio, and decodes the instruction to enable the data collection host to execute the functional action.

12. The voice triggering control method of claim 8, wherein the functional action is a scanning action or an image capturing action.
