Abstract

An operation method of an electronic system includes the following steps. When a first communication module of the electronic device receives a call signal, a controller of an electronic device detects whether an expansion device is electrically connected to the electronic device. Based on a result of the controller detecting whether the expansion device is electrically connected to the electronic device, it is determined whether the electronic system performs sound amplification with a first speaker of the electronic device or performs playing with a second speaker of the expansion device.

Claims (24)

1. An operation method of an electronic system, wherein the electronic system comprises an electronic device and an expansion device which is optionally electrically connected to the electronic device, the operation method of the electronic system comprising:

when a first communication module of the electronic device receives a call signal, a controller of the electronic device detecting whether the expansion device is electrically connected to the electronic device;

based on a result of the controller detecting whether the expansion device is electrically connected to the electronic device, determining whether the electronic system performs sound amplification with a first speaker of the electronic device or performs playing with a second speaker of the expansion device;

when the controller detects that the expansion device is electrically connected to the electronic device, the electronic system performing sound amplification with the first speaker of the electronic device;

when the controller detects that the expansion device is not electrically connected to the electronic device, the electronic system performing playing with the second speaker of the expansion device;

when the controller detects that the expansion device is not electrically connected to the electronic device, the controller of the electronic device transmitting a signal to a second communication module of the electronic device so that the second communication module of the electronic device determines whether there is a wireless signal connection with a third communication module of the expansion device;

when there is the wireless signal connection between the second communication module of the electronic device and the third communication module of the expansion device, the second communication module of the electronic device determining whether an answer signal sent by the third communication module of the expansion device is received; and

when the second communication module of the electronic device receives the answer signal sent by the third communication module of the expansion device, the second communication module of the electronic device transmitting a voice signal to the expansion device,

wherein in a step where the second communication module of the electronic device determines whether there is the wireless signal connection with the third communication module of the expansion device, when the second communication module of the electronic device determines that there is not the wireless signal connection with the third communication module of the expansion device, the electronic system performs a first mode of sound amplification with the electronic device.

2. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 1 , wherein in a step where the second communication module of the electronic device determines whether the answer signal sent by the third communication module of the expansion device is received, when the second communication module of the electronic device determines that the answer signal sent by the third communication module of the expansion device is not received, the electronic system performs a first mode of sound amplification with the electronic device.

3. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 1 , after the second communication module of the electronic device transmits the voice signal to the expansion device, further comprising:

a distance detector of the expansion device detecting whether a distance between the distance detector and a user exceeds a predetermined value; and

when the distance between the distance detector of the expansion device and the user does not exceed the predetermined value, the electronic system performing a second mode for playing at a low volume with the second speaker of the expansion device.

4. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 3 , wherein when the distance between the distance detector of the expansion device and the user exceeds the predetermined value, the electronic system performs a third mode of sound amplification with the second speaker of the expansion device.

5. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 1 , after the second communication module of the electronic device transmits the voice signal to the expansion device, further comprising:

when a user causes the expansion device to send a switching signal, the second communication module of the electronic device determining whether the switching signal sent by the third communication module of the expansion device is received; and

when the second communication module of the electronic device receives the switching signal sent by the third communication module of the expansion device, the electronic system performing a first mode of sound amplification with the electronic device.

6. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 5 , wherein when the second communication module of the electronic device does not receive the switching signal sent by the third communication module of the expansion device, the second communication module of the electronic device continues to transmit the voice signal to the expansion device.

7. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 5 , wherein the switching signal is triggered by the user pressing a button on the expansion device.

8. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 1 , after the second communication module of the electronic device transmits the voice signal to the expansion device, further comprising:

when a user electrically reconnects the expansion device to the electronic device, the controller of the electronic device detecting whether there is the wireless signal connection between the second communication module and the third communication module of the expansion device; and

when the controller of the electronic device detects that there is the wireless signal connection between the second communication module and the third communication module of the expansion device, the controller sending a close signal to the second communication module to cancel the wireless signal connection between the second communication module and the third communication module, and the controller of the electronic device taking an initiative to end a call.

9. The operation method of the electronic system according to claim 1 , after the second communication module of the electronic device transmits the voice signal to the expansion device, further comprising:

a user selecting from a screen of the electronic device to end a call.
