Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnetic controlled Bluetooth device and more particularly to a magnetic controlled Bluetooth speaker. The magnetic controlled Bluetooth device comprises a magnetic unit and a magnetic sensor. As another magnetic unit approaches the magnetic sensor of the magnetic controlled Bluetooth device, the magnetic sensor varies its output voltage in response to the magnetic field of another magnet. Thus, the magnetic controlled Bluetooth device can be turned on to execute a Bluetooth pairing process. Further, the magnetic unit of the magnetic controlled Bluetooth device can be used to approaches another magnetic sensor of another magnetic controlled Bluetooth device to turn on another magnetic controlled Bluetooth device.
