Methods and systems for commencing a process based on a sound trigger

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a method for commencing a process based on a sound trigger, wherein the method comprises:

• obtaining a specific time difference from a specific electronic device;
• receiving a sound via a sound reception unit;
• determining whether an intensity difference between the intensity of the sound at minimally one specific time point and the intensity of the sound at a preceding time point is greater than a predefined value;
• determining whether a time difference between a first specific time point and a second specific time point conforms to the specific time difference, in which the intensity difference between the intensity of the sound at the first specific time point and the intensity of the sound at the preceding time point is greater than the predefined value, and the intensity difference between the intensity of the sound at the second specific time point and the intensity of the sound at the preceding time point is greater than the predefined value;
• and
• performing a process in the electronic device when the intensity difference between the intensity of the sound at the specific time point and the intensity of the sound at the preceding time point is greater than the predefined value and when the time difference between the first specific time point and the second specific time point conforms to the specific time difference.

A method for commencing a process based on a sound trigger for use in an electronic device, comprising:

• receiving a sound via a sound reception unit;
• determining whether the intensity of the sound at minimally one specific time point is greater than a specific threshold value;
• detecting a motion of the electronic device by a sensor of the electronic device when the sound is received;
• determining whether the motion indicates that the electronic device generates a displacement along at least one specific axis at the specific time point;
