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 including the at least one wireless network identifier or a command of site survey;

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

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

establishing a list comprising the obtained wireless network identifier representing a wireless network environmentally available, the first machine voice being synthesized according to the list;

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 is at least one element selected from a set consisting of digits, alphabetic letters, and special characters.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. The voice setup method of claim 4, 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.

6. A wireless photographic device, comprising:

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

wherein the first voice command and the first machine voice comprise the obtained wireless network identifier, and 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;

wherein the processing module establishes a list comprising the obtained wireless network identifier representing a wireless network environmentally available, and synthesizes the first machine voice according to the list.

7. The wireless photographic device of claim 6, wherein the first voice command is at least one element selected from a set consisting of digits, alphabetic letters, and special characters.

8. The wireless photographic device of claim 6, 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.

9. The wireless photographic device of claim 6, 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.

10. The wireless photographic device of claim 9, 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.
