Abstract

A socket includes a voice-receiver, a processing module coupled to the voice-receiver, a converting member coupled to the processing module, and a switching member coupled to the converting member. The switching member is configured to couple to a supply member and a load. The voice-receiver is configured to receive a voice instruction. The processing module is configured to recognize the voice instruction and to output a control signal according the voice instruction. The converting member is configured to convert the control signal to a switching signal. The switching member is configured to be switched on or be switched off according to the switching signal. The supply member is configured to supply power to the load after the switching member is be switched on and not to supply power to the load after the switching member is be switched off. A voice-recognition method is also provided.

First claim
