Abstract

An electronic system includes a first wireless transceiving module having a device identification code and a portable device. The portable device may include a second wireless transceiving module, a storage module, and a processor. The second wireless transceiving module obtains the device identification code from the first wireless transceiving module. The storage module may store at least one set of data, wherein each set of data may comprise a pre-built identification code and a corresponding pre-assigned instruction. When the second wireless transceiving module obtains the device identification code from the first wireless transceiving module, the processor may be able to search for the at least one set of data to check whether the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code stored in the storage module; and when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, the processor may automatically execute the corresponding pre-assigned instruction.

Claims

1. An electronic system, comprising:

a first wireless transceiving module, having a device identification code; and

a portable device, comprising;

a second wireless transceiving module, for communicating with the first wireless transceiving module in order to obtain the device identification code from the first wireless transceiving module;

a storage module, for storing at least one set of data, wherein each set of data comprises a pre-built identification code and a corresponding pre-assigned instruction; and

a processor, coupled to the second wireless transceiving module and the storage module;

wherein when the second wireless transceiving module obtains the device identification code from the first wireless transceiving module, the processor searches for the at least one set of data to check whether the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code stored in the storage module; and

when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, the processor automatically executes the corresponding pre-assigned instruction.

2. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the portable device further comprises:

an acceleration detector, coupled to the processor, for detecting an acceleration behavior of the portable device;

wherein when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, the processor determines whether to execute the corresponding pre-assigned instruction according to the acceleration behavior.

3. The electronic system of claim 2, wherein the acceleration detector is a G sensor, a Wi-Fi module, an RFID module, a base station, a radio signal transceiving module, or a global positioning system (GPS) module.

4. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the pre-assigned instruction indicates the processor to enable or disable a corresponding application.

5. The electronic system of claim 4, wherein the second wireless transceiving module is activated only when a command related to the corresponding application is received by the processor.

6. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, the processor automatically disables at least one of the following functions of the portable device including a short message service (SMS) program, a multimedia messaging service (MMS), a voice recognition, a speaker function, a microphone function, a data input function, a keyboard function, and a display function.

7. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, the processor automatically enables a mute function of the portable device.

8. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the first wireless transceiving module is a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi module, an RFID module, a base station, a radio signal transceiving module, a ZigBee module, or an ANT/ANT+ module;

and the second wireless transceiving module is a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi module, an RFID module, a base station, a radio signal transceiving module, a ZigBee module, or an ANT/ANT+ module.

9. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the portable device is a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a PDA phone, a smart phone, a hand held device, a e-book, a tablet, or a laptop.

10. A method for controlling an electronic system, the electronic system comprising a first wireless transceiving module having a device identification code and a portable device having a second wireless transceiving module, the method comprising the steps of:

storing at least one set of data in the portable device in advance, wherein each set of data comprises a pre-built identification code and a corresponding pre-assigned instruction;

communicating with the first wireless transceiving module in order to obtain the device identification code;

when the device identification code is obtained from the first wireless transceiving module, searching for the at least one set of data to check whether the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code; and

when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, automatically executing the corresponding pre-assigned instruction.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

detecting an acceleration behavior of the portable device; and

when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, determining whether to execute the corresponding pre-assigned instruction according to the acceleration behavior.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the pre-assigned instruction indicates the processor to enable or disable a corresponding application.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

activating the second wireless transceiving module only when a command related to the corresponding application is received.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of executing the corresponding pre-assigned instruction comprises:

when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, automatically disabling at least one of the following functions of the portable device including a short message service (SMS) program, a multimedia messaging service (MMS), a voice recognition, a speaker function, a microphone function, a data input function, a keyboard function, and a display function.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of executing the corresponding pre-assigned instruction comprises:

when the device identification code matches to the pre-built identification code, automatically enabling a mute function of the portable device.
