Abstract

An electronic device includes an image capture module and a processing unit. The image capture module is used for capturing a user's face image. The processing unit includes an image analysis module and an inquiry module. The image analysis module is signally connected to the image capture module for analyzing the face image and obtaining age data according to a face recognition result. The inquiry module is signally connected to the image analysis module for obtaining a user's hearing data according to the age data, wherein the hearing data is the minimum volume data audible to the user for different frequencies of sound.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

an image capture module, which is used for capturing a user's face image;

a processing unit, comprising:

an image analysis module, which is signally connected to the image capture module, for analyzing the face image and obtaining an age data and a gender data according to a face recognition result; and

an inquiry module, which is signally connected to the image analysis module, for obtaining a user's hearing data according to the age data and the gender data,

wherein the hearing data is data on minimum volumes audible to a person of the user's age and gender for different frequencies of sound.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a memory, the processing unit further comprising a control module, which is signally connected to the inquiry module, for saving the hearing data in the memory.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is connected to a cloud storage space, and the processing unit further comprises a control module which is signally connected to the inquiry module for uploading the hearing data to the cloud storage space to be stored.

4. A method of obtaining hearing data, applied to an electronic device which comprises an image capture module, the method comprising the following steps of:

capturing a user's face image through the image capture module;

analyzing the face image and obtaining an age data and a gender data according to a face recognition result; and

obtaining a user's hearing data according to the age data and the gender data,

wherein the hearing data is data on minimum volumes audible to a person of the user's age and gender for different frequencies of sound.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the electronic device further comprises a memory, the method further comprising the following step of:

saving the hearing data in the memory.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the electronic device is connected to a cloud storage space, the method further comprising the following step of:

uploading the hearing data to the cloud storage space to be stored.
