Electronic device having message-recording and message-playback function and related method

摘要

A method for completing message-playback on an electronic device involves: detection of an unplayed message storage, determining the facial images of the message recipients associated with the unplayed message, capturing facial images of members in front of the electronic device, comparing the facial images associated with the unplayed message with the captured facial image, determining whether there is at least one member who has not received this message who is in front of the electronic device according to the comparison, and if so playing the message.

1. An electronic device having message-recording and message-playback function, comprising:
an image capture unit; a storage unit storing a plurality of facial images of members and a relationship list recording relationships between messages left by members and facial images of message recipients of the messages; whereby the image capture unit captures the facial images of the members at predefined time intervals until the image capture unit captures at least one facial image of all members; and a processing unit to: a). detect whether there is an unplayed message existing in the storage unit, b). determine the facial images of the message recipients association with the unplayed message according to the relationship list when there is an unplayed message existing in the storage unit, c). control the image capture unit to capture facial images of members in front of the electronic device, d). compare the facial images associated with the unplayed message with the captured facial images of members, and determine whether at least one member who has not received the unplayed message is in front of the electronic device according to the comparative result; and e). play the unplayed message when at least one member who has not received the unplayed message is in front of the electronic device.
