Picture frame device capable of playing and recording sounds

Abstract

A picture frame capable of playing sounds having a frame fixing a picture therein, a code reader disposed on the frame and reading a bar code on the picture by moving the code reader, a decoder coupled to the code reader and decoding the bar code into an audio file and a player coupled to the decoder and outputting the audio file. Alternatively, sounds are inputted to be recorded by a sound recorder. The inputted sounds from the sound recorder are transmitted to an encoder where audio information of the sounds is generated, which is next transmitted to a bar code generator. In the bar code generator, a two dimension bar code is generated. Then, the two-dimension bar code is stored in a bar code storage.

1 . A picture frame device capable of playing sounds, comprising: 
 a frame fixing a picture therein;    a code reader disposed on the frame and reading a bar code having audio information on the picture when the code reader is moved;    a decoder coupled to the code reader and decoding the bar code into a voice file; and    a player coupled to the decoder and outputting the voice file.    
   
   
       2 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the read audio information is encoded in the bar code by two dimension audio code image technology.  
   
   
       3 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the code reader further comprises: 
 a scan unit reading the bar code; and    a bearing unit bearing and connected pivotally to the scan unit so that the scan unit moves freely between two ends of the bearing unit.    
   
   
       4 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the audio file is in the format selected from the group consisting of MP3, WAV and MIDI.  
   
   
       5 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the bar code is located at one of the top side, bottom side, left side and right side of the back of the picture.  
   
   
       6 . A picture frame device capable of recording sounds, comprising: 
 a frame fixing a picture therein;    a recorder inputting receiving an audio information;    an encoder coupled to the recorder and encoding the audio information into an audio file;    a bar code generator coupled to the encoder and converting the audio file into a bar code;    a bar code storage coupled to the bar code generator and storing the bar code into a record file; and    a print unit coupled to the bar code storage and printing the bar code, wherein the bar code is combined with the picture.    
   
   
       7 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the audio file is encoded in the bar code by two dimension audio code image technology.  
   
   
       8 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the audio file is in the format selected from the group consisting of MP3, WAV and MIDI.  
   
   
       9 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the print unit prints the bar code on the back of the picture.  
   
   
       10 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising a decoder coupled to the bar code storage and encoding the record file into an audio file.  
   
   
       11 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising a player coupled to the decoder and outputting the audio file.  
   
   
       12 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the bar code is located at one of the top side, bottom side, left side and right side of the back of the picture.  
   
   
       13 . A picture frame device capable of recording sounds, comprising: 
 a frame fixing a picture therein;    a code reader disposed on the frame and reading a bar code on the picture; and    a bar code storage coupled to the code reader and storing the bar code into a record file.    
   
   
       14 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the code reader further comprises: 
 a scan unit reading the bar code; and    a bearing unit bearing and connected pivotally to scan unit so that the scan unit moves freely between two ends of the bearing unit.    
   
   
       15 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 13 , further comprising a decoder coupled to the code reader and the bar code storage and decoding the record file into an audio file.  
   
   
       16 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 15 , further comprising a player coupled to the decoder and outputting the audio file.  
   
   
       17 . The picture frame device as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the bar code is located at one of the top side, bottom side, left side and right side of the back of the picture.
