Zusammenfassung:A voice event detection apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a vibration to digital converter and a computing unit. The vibration to digital converter is configured to convert an input audio signal into vibration data. The computing unit is configured to trigger a downstream module according to a sum of vibration counts of the vibration data for a number X of frames. In an embodiment, the voice event detection apparatus is capable of correctly distinguishing a wake phoneme from the input vibration data so as to trigger a downstream module of a computing system. Thus, the power consumption of the computing system is saved.
