Abstract

An audio data transmitting method applied to an audio data transmitting device. The audio data transmitting method comprises: (a) receiving first audio data from at least one audio data source, wherein the first audio data follows a first audio format; and (b) outputting the first audio data from the audio data transmitting device without encoding or decoding the first audio data.

Claims (40)

1. A wireless audio data transmitting method, comprising:

(a) receiving, by an audio data transmitting device, first audio data from at least one audio data source, wherein the first audio data follows a first audio format; and

(b) wirelessly outputting, by the audio data transmitting device, the first audio data without encoding or decoding the first audio data,

wherein the step (b) is performed in a lossless mode, wherein the audio data transmitting method further comprises:

decoding the first audio data to generate fourth audio data via the audio data transmitting device in a normal mode, wherein the fourth audio data follows a second audio format; and

outputting the fourth audio data from the audio data transmitting device in the normal mode.

2. The audio data transmitting method of claim 1 , wherein the step (b) transmits the first audio data to an audio data receiving device comprising a decoder, wherein the audio data transmitting method further comprises:

decoding the first audio data to second audio data via the decoder,

wherein the second audio data follows a second audio format.

3. The audio data transmitting method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting volume index from the audio data transmitting device to the audio data receiving device; and

adjusting a volume of the second audio data according to the volume index.

4. The audio data transmitting method of claim 3 , further comprising:

determining whether the audio data receiving device supports the volume index or not;

wherein the step (b) is performed if the audio data receiving device supports the volume index;

wherein the step (b) is not performed if the audio data receiving device does not support the volume index.

5. The audio data transmitting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

playing third audio data by the audio data transmitting device if the audio data transmitting device is controlled to output the third audio data while transmitting the first audio data,

wherein third audio data follows a second audio format.

6. The audio data transmitting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling the audio data transmitting device to operate in the lossless mode or the normal mode according to a user command.

7. The audio data transmitting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

(c) determining a volume value of the audio data transmitting device; and

(d) controlling the audio data transmitting device to operate in the lossless mode or the normal mode according to the relation between the volume value and a predetermined volume.

8. The audio data transmitting method of claim 7 , wherein the step (d) controls the audio data transmitting device to operate in the normal mode if the volume value is larger or equals to the predetermined volume.

9. A wireless audio data transmitting device comprising:

a transmitting interface, configured to receive first audio data from at least one audio data source, wherein the first audio data follows a first audio format; and

a control unit, configured to control the transmitting interface to wirelessly output the first audio data without encoding or decoding the first audio data,

wherein the control unit controls the transmitting interface to output the first audio data from the audio data transmitting device without encoding or decoding the first audio data in a lossless mode; wherein the audio data transmitting device further comprises a decoder configured to decode the first audio data to generate fourth audio data following a second audio format; wherein the control unit controls the transmitting interface to output the fourth audio data from the audio data transmitting device in the normal mode.

10. The audio data transmitting device of claim 9 , wherein the control unit controls the audio data transmitting device to operate in the lossless mode or the normal mode according to a user command.

11. The audio data transmitting device of claim 9 , wherein the control unit controls the audio data transmitting device to play third audio data if the audio data transmitting device is controlled to output the third audio data while transmitting the first audio data, wherein third audio data follows a second audio format.

12. An electronic system comprising:

a wireless audio data transmitting device comprising:

a transmitting interface, configured to receive first audio data from at least one audio data source, wherein the first audio data follows a first audio format; and

a control unit, configured to control the transmitting interface to wirelessly output the first audio data without encoding or decoding the first audio data; and

a wireless audio data receiving device, comprising a decoder configured to wirelessly receive the first audio data and configured to decode the first audio data to second audio data following a second audio format.

13. The audio data transmitting device of claim 12 , wherein the control unit determines a volume value of the audio data transmitting device, controls the audio data transmitting device to operate in the lossless mode or the normal mode according to the relation between the volume value and a predetermined volume.

14. The electronic system of claim 13 , wherein the control unit controls the audio data transmitting device to operate in the normal mode if the volume value is larger or equals to the predetermined volume.

15. The electronic system of claim 12 , wherein the control unit generates volume index, and controls the transmitting interface to transmit the volume index from the audio data transmitting device to the audio data receiving device; wherein the data receiving device adjusts a volume of the second audio data according to the volume index.

16. The electronic system of claim 15 , wherein the control unit further determines whether the audio data receiving device supports the volume index or not; wherein the control unit controls the transmitting interface to output the first audio data if the audio data receiving device supports the volume index; wherein the control unit does not control the transmitting interface to output the first audio data if the audio data receiving device does not support the volume index.
