DIGITAL CONTENT PLAYER WITH SOUND-ACTIVATION FUNCTION AND METHOD FOR POWERING ON AND OFF THE DIGITAL CONTENT PLAYER

摘要

A digital content player with sound-activation function includes a microphone receiving external sound signal, and an activation controller electrically connected to the microphone. The activation controller is further electrically connected to a power source and a digital content player console. The activation controller supplies electrical power from the power source to the microphone and judges a power on condition and a power off condition based on the external sound signal. The activation controller selectively powers on and off the digital content player console based on the power on and off condition. Therefore, user can remotely activate the digital content player console by, for example, two successive sounds by clapping. A power on operation sequence is automatically performed after the digital content player console is powered on, thus facilitating operation for user.
