Abstract

An audio electronic device including a front structure and a rear structure is provided. The front structure includes an embedded body and a speaker, wherein the speaker is connected to the embedded body, and the embedded body is inserted in an ear. The rear structure is connected to the front structure and includes a processor, a receiver, and a power supply, wherein the processor is electrically connected to the speaker and processes an audio signal according to the judgment signal, and the receiver is used for receiving a judgment signal.

Claims

1. An audio electronic device, comprising:

a front structure, comprising an embedded body and a speaker, wherein the speaker is connected to the embedded body, and the embedded body is inserted in an ear;

a rear structure connected to the front structure, wherein the rear structure comprises;

a processor electrically connected to the speaker;

a receiver used for receiving a judgment signal, wherein the processor processes an audio signal according to the judgment signal; and

a power supply.

2. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the judgment signal is an environmental signal, a wireless signal or a physiological signal.

3. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the receiver comprises a pressure sensor.

4. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the receiver comprises a motion sensor.

5. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the receiver comprises a wireless module.

6. The audio electronic device according to claim 5, wherein the wireless module comprises a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi module or an IoT module.

7. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the processor comprises a conversion circuit for switching a mode of the speaker according to the judgment signal.

8. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the rear structure further comprises a microphone used for receiving the audio signal.

9. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the processor comprises:

a wireless charging circuit;

a control logic circuit; and

an integrated circuit board.

10. The audio electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the front structure and the rear structure are wrapped by a waterproof material, and the waterproof material further comprises a microporous structure.

11. An operating method of an audio electronic device, comprising:

receiving a judgment signal by a receiver;

receiving an audio signal by a microphone; and

processing the audio signal by a processor according to the judgment signal to determine a mode under which the audio signal is transmitted to the speaker.

12. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 11, wherein:

the judgment signal comprises an environmental signal, a wireless signal or a physiological signal.

13. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 12, wherein:

the environmental signal represents a pressure, and if the pressure is greater than 1 atm, then the processor swiches off the audio signal from being transmitted to the speaker.

14. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 13, wherein a time duration for which the receiver detects the pressure is a first default time.

15. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 14, wherein:

if the pressure is equivalent to or less than 1 atm, then a time duration for which the receiver detects the pressure is a second default time.

16. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 15, wherein the first default time is smaller than the second default time.

17. An operating method of an audio electronic device, comprising:

receiving a judgment signal by a receiver; and

determining a mode under which an audio signal is transmitted to a speaker by a processor according to the judgment signal.

18. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 17, wherein:

the judgment signal comprises an environmental signal, a wireless signal or a physiological signal.

19. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 18, wherein:

the mode comprises switching off the audio signal from being transmitted to the speaker by the processor.

20. The operating method of an audio electronic device according to claim 17, further comprises:

receiving the judgment signal from an intelligent terminal or a cloud by the receiver.
