Abstract
An electronic device for a deaf person is provided. The device includes sound sensors arranged at different positions of the electronic device, and configured for sensing an external sound and converting the sensed external sound into sound signals; a processor connected to the sound sensors, and configured for generating a prompt signal when any sound parameters of the sound signals transmitted by the sound sensors meets a prompt condition; a vibrator connected to the processor, and configured for vibrating upon receiving the prompt signals; a first comparator connected to the processor, and configured for, in response of receiving the prompt signal, determining a sound sensor corresponding to a sound signal with a highest intensity, and generating orientation information corresponding to the sound sensor that corresponds to the sound signal with the highest intensity; and an indicator connected to the first comparator, and configured for indicating the orientation information.
