Abstract

A portable device communicating with an electronic device to receive audio dedicated to one display which is one of a number of simultaneous displays on the electronic device comprises a communicating module, a selection module, and an audio outputting module. The electronic device provides a number of displays in different parts of a screen, each with an associated audio, and transmits one associated audio to the portable device. The communicating module allows the portable device to communicate with the electronic device. The selection module selects one display as the preferred display according to an operation of user and controls the electronic device to transmit the audio associated with the preferred display to portable device. The audio outputting module outputs the associated audio of the selected display on the portable device. An audio controlling method applied to the portable device is also provided.

Claims

1. A portable device capable of communicating with an electronic device, the electronic device displaying a number of display areas each with an associated audio;

the portable device comprising;

a communicating module establishing a data communication with the electronic device;

an selection module selecting one of the display areas in response to an operation of users and controlling the electronic device to transmit the associated audio of the selected display area to the portable device; and

an audio outputting module outputting the audio of the selected display area transmitted from the electronic device.

2. The portable device of claim 1, further comprising an operation module and an adjustment module, wherein the operation module generates different adjustment signals in response to operation of users;

the adjustment module adjusts the selected display area in response to the adjustment signal.

3. The portable device of claim 2, wherein the adjustment signals comprises an image adjustment signal;

the adjustment module controls the electronic device to controls the selected display area to display images of the portable device in response to the image adjustment signal.

4. The portable device of claim 2, wherein the adjustment signals comprises a display characteristics adjustment signal;

the adjustment module adjusts the display characteristics of the selected display area in response to the display characteristics adjustment signal;

the display characteristics include brightness, color, and grayness degree.

5. The portable device of claim 2, further comprising a detection module, wherein each of the associated audio includes different soundtracks in different languages;

the adjustment signals comprises a language adjustment signal including a selected language;

the adjustment module further generates a detection signal in response to the language adjustment signal;

the detection module detects whether the received audio includes a soundtracks in the selected language in response to the detection signal;

when the received audio includes a soundtrack in the selected language, the detection module switches within the associated audio to the soundtrack in the selected language.

6. The portable device of claim 5, wherein when the received audio does not include a soundtrack in the selected language, the detection module translates the associated audio into the selected language by online means.

7. The portable device of claim 2, wherein the selection module further controls the electronic device to display an adjustment interface in the selected display area with a plurality of dropdown lists.

8. An audio controlling method for a portable device to communicate with an electronic device;
