Abstract

A wireless photographic device is provided along with a voice setup method therefor: Obtain at least one wireless network identifier according to a first voice command; synthesize and play a first machine voice according to the obtained wireless network identifier; determine, according to a second voice command, whether to utilize the obtained wireless network identifier on the wireless photographic device. The present invention discloses a simplified wireless LAN setup procedure, using only a wireless interface and a voice man-machine interface and unassisted by any auxiliary equipment. The synthesized voice feedback ensures validity of the setup data. If the man-machine interface processes only digits, alphabetic letters, and set commands, the cost for manufacturing the wireless photographic device is further reduced.

Claims

1. A voice setup method for a wireless photographic device, the voice setup method comprising:

obtaining at least one wireless network identifier according to a first voice command;

synthesizing and playing a first machine voice according to the obtained wireless network identifier; and

determining, according to a second voice command, whether to utilize the obtained wireless network identifier;

wherein when the second voice command indicates that the obtained wireless network identifier be utilized, the wireless network identifier is set into the wireless photographic device.

2. The voice setup method of claim 1, wherein the first voice command describes the wireless network identifier.

3. The voice setup method of claim 2, wherein the first machine voice includes a recitation of the first voice command.

4. The voice setup method of claim 1, wherein the first voice command is at least one element selected from a set consisting of digits, alphabetic letters, and special characters.

5. The voice setup method of claim 1, wherein obtaining the at least one wireless network identifier is initiating a detecting procedure according to the first voice command, in order to obtain the at least one wireless network identifier environmentally available.

6. The voice setup method of claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining a wireless network security key according to a third voice command; and

setting the wireless network security key into the wireless photographic device.

7. The voice setup method of claim 6, wherein setting the wireless network security key into the wireless photographic device comprises:

synthesizing a second machine voice according to the obtained wireless network security key; and

determining, according to a fourth voice command, whether the obtained wireless network security key is correct;

wherein when the fourth voice command indicates that the obtained wireless network security key is correct, the wireless network security key is set into the wireless photographic device.

8. A wireless photographic device, comprising:

a wireless communication module adapted for communicating with wireless networks;

a voice receiving module adapted for receiving a first voice command and a second voice command;

a voice playing module adapted for playing a first machine voice; and

a processing module coupled with the wireless communication module, the voice receiving module, and the voice playing module, adapted for obtaining at least one wireless network identifier according to the first voice command, for synthesizing the first machine voice according to the obtained wireless network identifier, and for determining, according to the second voice command, whether to utilize the obtained wireless network identifier;

wherein when the second voice command indicates that the obtained wireless network identifier be utilized, the processing module sets the wireless network identifier into the wireless communication module.

9. The wireless photographic device of claim 8, wherein the first voice command describes the wireless network identifier.

10. The wireless photographic device of claim 9, wherein the first machine voice includes a recitation of the first voice command.

11. The wireless photographic device of claim 8, wherein the first voice command is at least one element selected from a set consisting of digits, alphabetic letters, and special characters.

12. The wireless photographic device of claim 8, wherein the processing module, adapted for obtaining the at least one wireless network identifier, initiates a detecting procedure on the wireless communication module according to the first voice command, in order to obtain the at least one wireless network identifier environmentally available.

13. The wireless photographic device of claim 8, wherein the voice receiving module is further adapted for receiving a third voice command, and the processing module is further adapted for obtaining a wireless network security key according to the third voice command and for setting the wireless network security key into the wireless communication module.

14. The wireless photographic device of claim 13, wherein the voice receiving module is further adapted for receiving a fourth voice command, the voice playing module is further adapted for playing a second machine voice, and the processing module is further adapted for synthesizing the second machine voice according to the obtained wireless network security key and for determining, according to the fourth voice command, whether the obtained wireless network security key is correct, wherein when the fourth voice command indicates that the obtained wireless network security key is correct, the processing module sets the wireless network security key into the wireless communication module.
