  • Publication number: 20160149549
    Abstract: An alarm tone adjustment circuit includes a sound collection unit with a function of collecting sound of a surrounding environment, an analog-digital (A/D) convertor, and a processing unit. The A/D convertor transforms the sound of a surrounding environment from the sound collection unit to a digital signal. The processing unit is coupled to the A/D convertor and an alarm tone unit, and determines a decibel range of the sound of surrounding environment according to a duty cycle of the digital signal, and adjusts a volume of a ring output from the alarm tone unit according to the decibel range of the sound of surrounding environment. Therefore, the alarm tone of the electronic device can be changed effectively according to the sound of surrounding environment.

    Abstract: In embodiments of device proximity detection implemented in hardware, a computing device, such as a mobile phone, appliance device, or other electronic device can be implemented with wireless radio systems for wireless communications, and a wireless radio system receives a wireless signal. A computing device includes a radio controller of the wireless radio system, and the radio controller is implemented to detect an indication associated with the wireless signal, such as a byte pattern in the wireless signal and/or a signal strength of the signal. The radio controller can then determine that the indication of the wireless signal identifies the wireless signal as pertinent to an application executing on the computing device, and communicate an event notice to a signal manager that the wireless signal has been identified. The radio controller communicates event notices via a hardware interface that is implemented to interface the radio controller with the signal manager.
