Abstract

An image display device includes a display unit, a storage unit, a voice receiving unit and a processing unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of image data, a plurality of voice data and a plurality of image files, wherein each of the image data is corresponding to one of the voice data respectively. The voice receiving unit receives a current voice. The processing unit judges whether the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, so as to determine one image data corresponding to the current voice. When the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, the processing unit determines whether each of the image files contains the image data corresponding to the current voice and then displays the image file(s), which contain the image data corresponding to the current voice, on the display unit.

Claims

1. An image display device comprising:

a display unit;

a storage unit for storing a plurality of image data, a plurality of voice data and a plurality of image files, wherein each of the image data is corresponding to one of the voice data respectively;

a voice receiving unit for receiving a current voice; and

a processing unit electrically connected to the display unit, the storage unit and the voice receiving unit, the processing unit judging whether the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, so as to determine the image data corresponding to the current voice, when the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, the processing unit judging whether each of the image files contains the image data corresponding to the current voice and then displaying the image file(s), which contain the image data corresponding to the current voice, on the display unit.

2. The image display device of claim 1, further comprising an image capturing unit electrically connected to the processing unit, the image capturing unit capturing a current image corresponding to the current voice, wherein the processing unit judges whether the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice, when the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice, the processing unit judges whether each of the image files contains the image data corresponding to the current voice and then displays the image file(s), which contain the image data corresponding to the current voice, on the display unit.

3. The image display device of claim 1, wherein the processing unit judges whether each of the image files contains at least one of the image data, so as to classify the image files into a plurality of display groups, each of the display groups corresponds to one of the image data, the processing unit judges whether the current voice is similar to one of the voice data so as to determine the image data as well as the display group corresponding to the current voice, when the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, the processing unit displays the image file(s) of the display group corresponding to the current voice on the display unit.

4. The image display device of claim 3, further comprising an image capturing unit electrically connected to the processing unit, the image capturing unit capturing a current image corresponding to the current voice, wherein the processing unit judges whether the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice, when the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice, the processing unit displays the image file(s) of the display group corresponding to the current voice on the display unit.

5. An image display method comprising steps of:

storing a plurality of image data, a plurality of voice data and a plurality of image files, wherein each of the image data is corresponding to one of the voice data respectively;

receiving a current voice;

judging whether the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, so as to determine the image data corresponding to the current voice;

when the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, judging whether each of the image files contains the image data corresponding to the current voice; and

displaying the image file(s) containing the image data corresponding to the current voice.

6. The image display method of claim 5, further comprising steps of:

capturing a current image corresponding to the current voice;

judging whether the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice;

when the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice, judging whether each of the image files contains the image data corresponding to the current voice; and

displaying the image file(s) containing the image data corresponding to the current voice.

7. The image display method of claim 5, further comprising steps of:

judging whether each of the image files contains at least one of the image data, so as to classify the image files into a plurality of display groups, each of the display groups corresponding to one of the image data;

judging whether the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, so as to determine the image data as well as the display group corresponding to the current voice; and

when the current voice is similar to one of the voice data, displaying the image file(s) of the display group corresponding to the current voice.

8. The image display method of claim 7, further comprising steps of:

capturing a current image corresponding to the current voice;

judging whether the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice; and

when the current image is similar to the image data corresponding to the current voice, displaying the image file(s) of the display group corresponding to the current voice.

9. An image display device comprising:

a display unit;

a storage unit for storing a plurality of image files;

a voice receiving unit for receiving a current voice; and

a processing unit electrically connected to the display unit, the storage unit and the voice receiving unit, the processing unit classifying the image files into a plurality of display groups according to a plurality of voice characteristics, the processing unit judging whether the current voice belongs to one of the voice characteristics, so as to determine the display group corresponding to the current voice, when the current voice belongs to one of the voice characteristics, the processing unit displaying the image file(s) of the display group corresponding to the current voice on the display unit.

10. The image display device of claim 9, wherein at least one of the image files has a pattern related to one of the voice characteristics, the processing unit judges whether the current voice matches one of the voice characteristics, when the current voice matches one of the voice characteristics, the processing unit displays the at least one of the image files having the pattern on the display unit.

11. The image display device of claim 9, wherein the voice characteristic is selected from a group consisting of:

sex, age, language, surrounding sound and specific human voice.

12. An image display method comprising steps of:

storing a plurality of image files;

classifying the image files into a plurality of display groups according to a plurality of voice characteristics;

receiving a current voice;

judging whether the current voice belongs to one of the voice characteristics, so as to determine the display group corresponding to the current voice; and

when the current voice belongs to one of the voice characteristics, displaying the image files of the display group corresponding to the current voice.

13. The image display method of claim 12, wherein at least one of the image files has a pattern related to one of the voice characteristics, the image display method further comprises steps of:

judging whether the current voice matches one of the voice characteristics; and

when the current voice matches one of the voice characteristics, displaying the at least one of the image files having the pattern.

14. The image display method of claim 12, wherein the voice characteristic is selected from a group consisting of:

sex, age, language, surrounding sound and specific human voice.
