V. New description: [New technical field] This creation is related to an electronic device, and in particular to an electronic device for controlling the fan speed. [Prior Art] Today's electronic products operate at an extremely high frequency, so that when the user operates the electronic product, the electronic product generates a large amount of heat due to the high-frequency processing speed. In order to improve the life of the product, the electronic product needs to be provided with a fan for heat dissipation. In general, no matter the design principle of the fan, the noise generated when the fan is running cannot be avoided. The faster the fan speed, the greater the noise generated when the fan is running. The noise generated by the fan running at a high speed will make the user feel uncomfortable, thereby reducing the user's willingness to use the electronic product. Therefore, how to avoid the noise generated by the operation of the fan affects the user's willingness to use is one of the subjects of the related industry. [New Content] This creation is about an electronic device that uses the distance from the user to control the rotation speed of the fan to reduce the influence of the user's arpeggio caused by excessive fan speed. According to the present invention, an electronic device is proposed. The electronic device includes a fan, a fan controller, a ranging module, and a processing unit. The fan controller is used to control the fan to rotate at a speed. The ranging module is configured to measure a distance from a specific object to obtain a distance information. The processing unit is used to receive 3 W4〇 and the replacement page is revised according to the market--April 6th, and the speed control command is determined. The fan controller controls the fan speed based on the speed control command. In order to better understand the above and other aspects of the present invention, the following description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings will be described in detail as follows: [Embodiment] The first embodiment refers to FIG. A block diagram of the electronic device 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. The electronic device 100 is, for example, a notebook computer or a desktop computer. FIG. 1 shows only some of the components of the electronic device 100. The electronic device 1A includes a processing unit 110, a ranging module 120, a fan 130, and a fan 140. The processing unit is, for example, a central processing unit or an embedded processing single ranging group 120, such as an image capturing module, and obtains the ranging module 120 and the image according to the image captured by the image f group. The distance between specific objects: The ranging module 120 can also be an infrared module, and the distance between the ranging module 120 and the specific object is detected by the infrared rays emitted by the outer coil group. However, the ranging module 12 of the present embodiment is not limited to the module white that obtains the distance information DI1 by measuring the distance from a specific object, and can be used as the ranging module 12 of the embodiment. It does not deviate from the fc circumference of this embodiment. The processing unit 110 is further configured to receive and determine a rotational speed control command CC1 according to the distance information DI1 transmitted by the ranging module 12A. The fan controller 130 is, for example, a logic controller for controlling the fan 140 to rotate at a rotational speed in accordance with the rotational speed control command CC1. The processing unit 110 includes a distance step unit in and a decision unit 4 M41U^40. The replacement stomach 112 is modified on May 6, 100. The distance step unit ηι is used to determine that the range information DI1 measured by the ranging module 丨2〇 belongs to one of several distance steps. The decision unit U2 is configured to determine, according to the distance step determined by the distance step unit U1, that the maximum distance value of the speed control command CC is greater than the distance of the distance steps. The distance value, and the speed corresponding to the speed control command CC1 determined according to one of the distance steps is greater than the speed corresponding to the speed control command CC1 determined by the other of the distance steps. For example, please refer to Table 1, which lists the correspondence between the distance step and the fan speed of the first embodiment of the present invention. Table 1 Correspondence between off-speed and windbird speed Distance step (cm) Fan speed (rpm) 0~25 3000 25-50 4000 50~1〇〇5000 Please also refer to Figure 2, which shows Figure 1. The electronic device in the middle is separated from the specific object PO by a distance 01. The specific substance here is, for example, a user. The distance between the specific object P0 and the electronic device 1 is shown. In Table 1, the distance step includes 〇~25 cm, 25~5 〇cm, and 50~100 cm, wherein the maximum distance (50 cm) of the distance between 25 and 5 cm is greater than 〇25 cm. The maximum distance (25 cm) of the distance from the distance, and the speed of the fan corresponding to the distance of 25 to 50 cm (4000 rpm is greater than 〇) (〇) The speed of the fan corresponding to the distance of μ cm (3 rpm). In this embodiment, when the ranging module 12 detects a specific object (using 5 M410240, the modified pager on May 6, 100), the distance D1 from the distance measuring module 120 is between 0 and 25 cm, for example, It is 13 cm. The ranging module 120 transmits the distance information DI1 (13 cm) to the distance step unit 111 in the processing unit 110. The distance step unit 111 determines that the distance information DI 1 (13 cm) belongs to a distance step of 0 to 25 cm according to its preset distance step, for example, as shown in Table 1. The decision unit 112 determines that the target speed of the fan 14〇 should be 3000 rpm according to the distance step determined by the distance step unit 111, and transmits the speed control command CC1 (target speed 3000 rpm) to the fan controller 130. The fan controller 130 controls the fan 140 to rotate at 3000 rpm in accordance with the rotational speed control command CC1. Although the embodiment is described by taking the distance between 0 and 25 cm to the fan speed of 3000 rpm as an example, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the fan is determined according to the distance information of the distance measuring module 120 and a specific object. The rotational speeds do not depart from the scope of the embodiment. In addition, although the rotational speed of the fan corresponding to the distance of 25 to 50 cm is larger than the rotational speed of the fan corresponding to the distance of 0 to 25 cm, a large noise may occur, but at this time, the user and the electronic device The distance between the 100 distances is large, so the user does not feel the difference in noise of the fan due to the rotation speed of the larger fan. For example, when the distance between the user and the fan running at 3000 rpm is 25 cm, the noise is about 35 decibel A Weighting (dbA), and when the user is running at 4000 rpm. When the distance between the fans is 50 cm, the noise felt by the user is also about 35 decibels. In this way, since the user feels the same noise, the user does not reduce the feeling of use due to the increase in the rotational speed of the fan of the electronic device. Further M410240 - May 6th, 100th Correction Replacement Page • In terms of the increase in the fan speed of the electronic device, the system temperature of the electronic device can be lowered to improve the processing performance of the electronic device. Therefore, by adjusting the fan's fascination according to the distance from the user, the electronic device can improve the heat dissipation performance without affecting the user's feeling of use, thereby further increasing the processing efficiency and service life of the system. Second Embodiment - Referring to Figure 3, there is shown a block diagram of an electronic device φ 300 of the second embodiment of the present invention.

The ranging module 32A, the fan controller 330, and the fan 340 are similar to the ranging module 12A, the fan controller 130, and the fan 140' in the first embodiment, and will not be described again. The temperature sensor 350 is, for example, an electronic thermometer 'for sensing the temperature of the heat source to obtain the temperature information TI2. In general, since the temperature of the central processing unit is usually the highest among the internal components of the electronic device, the heat source of the embodiment is, for example, the central processing unit. The temperature sensor 350 can be disposed, for example, on the surface of the casing of the central processing unit of the electronic device 300 or on the inner side of the casing of the central processing unit for obtaining the temperature information TI2 of the central processing unit. However, the configuration of the temperature sensor 350 of the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and the temperature sensor 350 is disposed on the electronic device without departing from the scope of the embodiment. The processing unit 310 can receive and determine a rotational speed control command CC2 according to the distance information DI2 and the temperature information TI2 transmitted by the ranging module 320 and the temperature sensor 350. 7 M410240 processing single illusion) includes - distance step unit 3^, = day makeup: class 312, and - temperature step unit 313.

Shooting one of these temperature steps - the temperature value is substantially equal to the other of these temperature steps. The decision unit 3i2 is configured to determine the speed control command CC2 according to the distance step and the temperature step.
