Abstract

A wave-discriminating inductive electronic device includes a special integrated circuit that is inducible by a proximity feeble electromagnetic signal generated by a general mobile phone during receiving and transmitting signals, so that the induced integrated circuit is able to control and drive another integrated circuit that includes voice and motor driving circuits. Voices and vibrations produced by the integrated circuit enable the wave-discriminating inductive electronic device to provide a highly interesting entertaining effect.
