Abstract
A webcam capable of generating special sound effects includes an image device, a sound device, a multiplexer, a microprocessor, and a universal serial bus device. The image device is used for capturing and processing an image to generate a processed image. The sound device is used for capturing and processing sound to generate processed sound. The multiplexer is coupled to the image device and the sound device for receiving the processed image and the processed sound. The microprocessor is used for controlling the image device and the sound device. The universal serial bus device is used for controlling the multiplexer to read the processed image from the image device and read the processed sound from the sound device according to a command of a host, and transmitting the processed image and the processed sound to the host.
