Abstract

A mobile electronic device includes a storage unit, a display module, an audio speaker module, a sound receiving module and a control unit. The storage unit is for storing at least one character data. The display module is for selectively displaying a first user interface or a second user interface. The audio speaker module is for playing a voice. The sound receiving module is for receiving the voice played by the audio speaker module. The control unit is coupled to the storage unit, the display module and the sound receiving module. The control unit is for generating a character signal corresponding to the voice and controlling the display module to switch from the first user interface to the second user interface when determining the character signal matches the at least one character data.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic device capable of switching user interfaces, comprising:

a storage unit for storing at least one data;

a display module for selectively displaying a first user interface or a second user interface;

an audio speaker module for playing sound;

a sound receiving module for receiving the voice played by the audio speaker module;

a control unit coupled to the storage unit, the display module and the sound receiving module, the control unit being for generating a signal according to the voice received by the audio speaker module and determining whether the signal matches the at least one data, the control unit being further for controlling the display module to switch from the first user interface to the second user interface when the signal matches the at least one data; and

a proximity sensor coupled to the control unit and for sensing an object, the control unit being further for controlling the display module to switch from the first user interface to the second user interface when the signal matches the at least one data and the proximity sensor does not sense the object.

2. The mobile electronic device of claim 1, wherein the proximity sensor is near the sound receiving module.

3. The mobile electronic device of claim 1, wherein the least one data is sound data comprising extension, input, number or extension number.

4. The mobile electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

an antenna module for transmitting an antenna signal, wherein the display module is for displaying the first user interface and the audio speaker module plays the voice when the antenna module transmits the antenna signal.

5. The mobile electronic device of claim 1, wherein the sound receiving module is near the audio speaker module.

6. A method for switching user interface of a mobile electronic device, comprising:

utilizing a storage unit for storing at least one data;

utilizing a display module for selectively displaying a first user interface or a second user interface;

utilizing an audio speaker module for playing a voice;

utilizing a sound receiving module for receiving the voice played by the audio speaker module;

utilizing a control unit for generating a signal according to the voice received by the sound receiving module and determining whether the signal matches the at least one data;

when the control unit determines the signal matches the at least one data, the control unit controlling the display module to switch from the first user interface to the second user interface; and

utilizing a proximity sensor for sensing an object, when the signal matches the at least one data and the proximity sensor does not sense the object, the control unit controlling the display module to switch from the first user interface to the second user interface.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

utilizing an antenna module for transmitting an antenna signal, wherein when the antenna module transmits the antenna signal, the display module displays the first user interface and the audio speaker module plays the voice.
