  • Publication number: 20130150991
    Abstract: The invention relates to a data processing module of a digital audio processing device, a digital audio processing controller module of a portable device and a control system. Using the data processing module of the digital audio processing device and the digital audio processing controller module of the portable device, the portable device can transmit control command packet to control the digital audio processing device. The user can use a large-size screen of the portable device to control the digital audio processing device to overcome the shortage in the display function of conventional device. Furthermore, when using the portable device under the condition where the hardware of the digital audio processing device is not changed, the functions of the digital audio processing device can be additionally extended. Therefore, the extended functions of the digital audio processing device can be flexibly added in response to customers and DJ's requirements.

  • Patent number: 7964782
    Abstract: A method for operating cue points on a lighting ring of a digital multimedia audio player is revealed. A lighting ring for showing data related to digital music playing now is disposed around a turntable of a multimedia audio player. The lighting ring is arranged with a plurality of visual markers at important cue points by DJs for producing special sound effects while one of the cue point markers is set at a position that matches DJs' operation way and this is the position of an active cue point. Thereby during operation of the multimedia audio player, the obvious markers at the cue points allow DJs to operate the device easily and conveniently. Moreover, the active cue point can be set and adjusted according to different operation ways of DJs. Thus the present invention provides DJs with an intuitive reminder and convenient operation on the vision and the operational control.

  • Publication number: 20080279054
    Abstract: A device includes a turntable, a pickup, and a digital audio signal processor with a built-in compression/uncompression chip; in use, as soon as the pickup reads analogous audio signals of a vinyl record, the analogous audio signals will be converted into digital ones by means of an analog-to-digital converter, which are next sent to the digital audio signal processor, and compressed by means of the built-in chip of the digital audio signal processor, and stored in a large-capacity storage medium; afterwards, the digital audio signals are uncompressed by means of the chip, and converted into analogous ones by means of a digital-to-analog converter, which are next sent out through a low-pass wave filter.

  • Publication number: 20070091738
    Abstract: A digital audio signal player includes a microprocessor, a light producing ring, a digital audio signal processor, a dynamic RAM, and a manually-operated turning plate; the dynamic RAM is used to store music data; the light producing ring can produce light of several different colors, and it is joined to the turning plate and electrically connected to the microprocessor; the digital audio signal processor will analyze the rhythms of high-frequency portions and low-frequency portions of the digital music data stored in the dynamic RAM, and transfer the result of analysis to the microprocessor, and in turn the microprocessor will make the light producing ring shine and flash on and off with the colors of its light varying with the rhythms of the high-frequency portions and the low-frequency portions of the digital music data stored in the dynamic RAM.

  • Publication number: 20070093922
    Abstract: A digital audio signal player includes a CD support seat for holding a CD, a microprocessor, a laser pick-up, and a dynamic RAM; a CD supported on the CD support seat will rotate several times the normal speed, and the laser pick-up will read the CD when the microprocessor starts functioning; when the laser pick-up reads a CD, data of the CD will be transferred to and stored into the dynamic RAM; the dynamic RAM is divided into first and second sections, which are respectively used for storing music, which is currently being played, and for storing music that is to be played immediately after the current music is finished; therefore, the first and the second sections of the dynamic RAM can take turns to store music of different compact disks, thus preventing interruption of music playing from happening owing to a change of CD.
