Abstract

A system for posting a message by an audio signal is provided. The system has: a communication unit used to connect the system to a communications network; an audio receiving unit used to receive a first audio signal; a display unit; and a processing unit, connected to the communication unit, the audio receiving unit and the display unit, used to recognize the first audio signal to generate a first string, determine a target object from a display screen displayed on the display unit according to the first string, and automatically generate a message corresponding to the target object, and post the message on a social network through the communication unit.

Claims

1. A system for posting a message by an audio signal, comprising

a communication unit used to connect the system to a communications network;

an audio receiving unit used to receive a first audio signal;

a display unit; and

a processing unit, connected to the communication unit, the audio receiving unit and the display unit, and used to recognize the first audio signal to generate a first string, determine a target object from a display screen displayed on the display unit according to the first string, and automatically generate a message corresponding to the target object, and post the message on a social network through the communication unit.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the message is at least one of a text, a picture, a sound signal and a hyperlink corresponding to the target object, and the message corresponds to a user in the social network, wherein posting the message to the social network indicates that the processing unit transmitted the message to the social network, thereby automatically posting the message corresponding to the user.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processing unit further determines at least one candidate object according to the first string and the display screen, and determines the target object according to the at least one candidate object.

4. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the display screen is a web page, and the processing unit further analyzes a web page syntax of the web page, thereby obtaining a boundary of the display screen for the web page,

wherein the processing unit determines the at least one candidate object from the web page by at least one of tag analysis of the web page, snippet information matching, hyperlink and title matching, and optical character recognition.

5. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the system further comprises a database used to store a plurality of identity reference images, wherein the processing unit further generates an image file from the display screen, analyzes the image file to generate at least one object image, generates a matching result by matching the at least one object image with the plurality of identity reference images in the database, and determines the at least one candidate object according to the matching result.

6. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the processing unit further provides a user interface to display the at least one candidate object on the display unit, so that the user uses the user interface to select one of the at least one candidate object as the target object.

7. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the processing unit further displays the at least one candidate object on the display unit, receives a second audio signal, recognizes the second audio signal to generate a second string, and determines the target object from the at least one candidate object according to the second string.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processing unit further searches for corresponding information of the target object through the communications network and the communication unit according to the target object, thereby generating the message.

9. A method for posting a message by an audio signal, comprising:

connecting to a communications network via a communication unit;

receiving a first audio signal via an audio receiving unit;

recognizing the first audio signal to generate a first string via a processing unit;

determining a target object according to the first string and a display screen displayed on a display unit via the processing unit;

automatically generating a message corresponding to the target object via the processing unit; and

posting the message on a social network via the communication unit.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the message is at least one of a text, a picture, a sound signal and a hyperlink corresponding to the target object, and the message corresponds to a user in the social network, wherein the step of posting the message to the social network indicates the message has been transmitted to the social network, thereby automatically posting the message corresponding to the user.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

determining at least one candidate object according to the first string and the display screen via the processing unit; and

determining the target object according to the at least one candidate object via the processing unit.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the display screen is a web page, and the method further comprises:

analyzing a web page syntax of the web page via the processing unit, thereby obtaining a boundary of the display screen for the webpage; and

determining the at least one candidate object from the web page by at least one of tag analysis of the web page, snippet information matching, hyperlink and title matching, and optical character recognition, via the processing unit, thereby determining the at least one candidate object from the web page.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:

storing a plurality of identity reference images via a database, wherein the step of determining the at least one candidate object via the processing unit indicates generating an image file from the display screen, analyzing the image file to generate at least one object image, generating a matching result by matching the at least one object image with the plurality of identity reference images in the database, and determining the at least one candidate object according to the matching result.

14. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:

providing a user interface via the processing unit, thereby displaying the at least one candidate object on the display unit, so that a user uses the user interface to select one of the at least one candidate object as the target object.

15. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:

utilizing the processing unit to perform the steps of;

displaying the at least one candidate object on the display unit;

receiving a second audio signal;

recognizing the second audio signal to generate a second string; and

determining the target object from the at least one candidate object according to the second string.

16. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

searching for corresponding information of the target object through the communications network and the communication unit according to the target object via the processing unit, thereby generating the message.
