Abstract

A speech data retrieving and presenting device applied with an electronic device through a network includes a data receiving unit, a processing unit and a speech presenting unit. The data receiving unit connected to the network receives data of the electronic device through the network. The processing unit coupled to the data receiving unit receives speech data and retrieves a speech presenting signal from the speech data. The speech presenting unit coupled to the processing unit receives the speech presenting signal and outputs a speech according to the speech data. This device can assist a user to obtain network information, and provide the user a more flexible application according to the property that the device can be operated independently by a simple motion.

Claims

1. A speech data retrieving and presenting device applied with an electronic device through a network, the speech data retrieving and presenting device comprising:

a data receiving unit, connected to the network, for receiving data of the electronic device through the network;

a processing unit, coupled to the data receiving unit, for receiving the data and retrieving speech data from the data to obtain a speech presenting signal; and

a speech presenting unit, coupled to the processing unit, for receiving the speech presenting signal and outputting a speech according to the speech data.

2. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 1, wherein the network is a wired network or a wireless network.

3. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 2, wherein the wireless network is a mobile communication system network, and the electronic device is a mobile phone.

4. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 3, wherein the data are a multimedia file, an E-mail, a multimedia short message or a combination thereof.

5. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 3, wherein a content of the data comprises a reminder, a task, a medicine taking time or a combination thereof.

6. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 2, wherein the wired network is Ethernet, and the electronic device is a computer or a server.

7. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 1, wherein the data are website content data, E-mail data or a combination thereof.

8. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 6, wherein the data are website content data associated with weather information, life information, news information, stock market information, sport competition information, discount information, program schedule information, government propaganda data, health care information or a combination thereof.

9. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a timing unit coupled to the processing unit, wherein the processing unit controls the timing unit to execute a timing event according to setup time data of the data, and then outputs the speech presenting signal to the speech presenting unit according to an executing condition of the timing event to control to output the speech.

10. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an information-receiving verification unit coupled to the processing unit, which receives an information-receiving verification signal through the information-receiving verification unit.

11. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 10, wherein the processing unit stops the speech presenting unit from outputting the speech according to the information-receiving verification signal.

12. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 10, further comprising:

a signal transmission unit connected to the network and coupled to the processing unit, wherein the processing unit controls the signal transmission unit to transmit a return signal or return data to the electronic device through the network according to the information-receiving verification signal.

13. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a storage unit coupled to the data receiving unit and the processing unit, wherein the data receiving unit receives at least one set of application program data and stores the at least one set of application program data to the storage unit, and the processing unit executes a corresponding function according to the application program data.

14. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 13, wherein the function comprises outputting the speech, listening to a radio, presenting music or timekeeping.

15. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 14, further comprising:

an operation interface coupled to the processing unit and having at least one operation element, wherein the processing unit receives a switching event through the operation element to obtain a switching signal, and switches between a function of outputting the speech and a function corresponding to the application program data according to the switching signal.

16. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 14, wherein the operation element is a physical key, a physical knob or a touch screen.

17. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a group setting unit coupled to the processing unit, which judges a group to which the data pertain according to group classification information stored in the group setting unit; and

a signal transmission unit connected to the network and coupled to the processing unit, wherein the processing unit controls the signal transmission unit to transmit the data to another speech data retrieving and presenting device in the same group through the network according to the group classification information.

18. The speech data retrieving and presenting device according to claim 17, further comprising:

a statistical unit coupled to the processing unit, wherein the processing unit receives return data, outputted from the another speech data retrieving and presenting device, through the data receiving unit, and controls the statistical unit to classify and compile the return data to obtain a corresponding statistical result.

19. A modem, connected to a network, for retrieving and presenting speech data, the modem comprising:

a network interface connected to the network, for receiving data through the network;

a processing unit, coupled to the network interface, for receiving the data and retrieving the speech data from the data to obtain a speech presenting signal;

and

a speech presenting unit, coupled to the processing unit, for receiving the speech presenting signal and outputting a speech according to the speech data.

20. The modem according to claim 19, wherein the data are website content data, E-mail data or a combination thereof.

21. The modem according to claim 20, wherein the data are website content data associated with weather information, life information, news information, stock market information, sport competition information, discount information, program schedule information, government propaganda data, health care information or a combination thereof.
