Abstract: A detection circuit includes an amplifier circuit, a rechargeable unit, a first comparator, a second comparator, a reference voltage providing circuit, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a processing unit. The amplifier circuit is connected to a bridge circuit sensor and amplifies signals output by the bridge circuit sensor to an output voltage Vo. The reference voltage providing circuit provides a reference voltage Vref1. A charge current of the rechargeable unit is (Vref1?V0)/(R1+R2), and a discharge current is (Vref1?VCC)/R1. The processing unit controls the rechargeable unit to be charged for a time period T1 and to be discharged during a time period T2. The processing unit then calculates the output voltage Vo according to an equation: (Vref1?V0)×T1/(R1+R2)=(Vref1?VCC)×T2/R1, and obtains the signals according to the output voltage Vo.

Abstract: An anti-eavesdropping communication system and method are adapted to be applied in a mobile phone. The mobile phone defines a normal call mode and an anti-eavesdropping call mode. When a user of the mobile phone has a phone conversation using an earphone in the anti-eavesdropping call mode, the system plays a preset audio file which is a recording of the voice of the user saying unimportant things. From the position of a bystander, the recording of the voice of the user interferes with the clarity of what the user is actually saying, and prevents people beside the user overhearing or eavesdropping on the actual conversation which is taking place.
