Abstract

A speaker module for installing on an electronic device is disclosed. The speaker module includes a containing casing, a speaker device, an antenna, at least one audio signal transmitting member, and at least one antenna signal transmitting member. The containing casing has at least one hole formed thereon. The speaker device is disposed in the containing casing and outputs sound via the hole. The antenna is formed integrally with the containing casing along the contour of the containing casing. The audio signal transmitting member is electrically connected to the speaker device for electrically connecting to the electronic device, so as to establish audio signal transmission between the speaker device and the electronic device. The antenna signal transmitting member is electrically connected to the antenna for electrically connecting to the electronic device, so as to establish antenna signal transmission between the antenna and the electronic device.

Claims (12)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

an electronic device having an attachment part;

a speaker module installed on the electronic device, the speaker module comprising:

a containing casing having at least one first hole formed thereon and at least one antenna contact formed thereon, at least one second hole being formed on the attachment part corresponding to the at least one first hole;

a speaker device disposed in the containing casing for outputting sound via the first hole;

at least one audio signal transmitting member electrically connected to the speaker device for electrically connecting to the electronic device, so as to establish audio signal transmission between the speaker device and the electronic device; and

at least one antenna signal transmitting member electrically connected to the electronic device and the antenna contact; and

an antenna formed integrally with the attachment part along a contour of the attachment part, the antenna being electrically connected to the antenna signal transmitting member via the antenna contact when the speaker module is disposed in the attachment part for establishing antenna signal transmission between the antenna and the electronic device.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is formed integrally with the attachment part by an LDS process, an Ag printing process, a pad printing process, or an insert molding process.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is formed on an outer surface or an inner wall of the attachment part.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the audio signal transmitting member is an audio signal transmitting cable, an audio signal transmitting clip, or an audio signal transmitting contact.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna signal transmitting member is an antenna signal transmitting cable, an antenna signal transmitting clip, or an antenna signal transmitting contact.
