(C) when the remaining sensing areas 205 are triggered by corresponding buttons 206, switching corresponding channels into sound playing, and corresponding sound sources sounding synchronously with the sound source outputted in last step.

If the buttons 206 corresponding to the sound sources already sounded in steps (B) and (C) leave the sensing areas 205, the sound sources are played silently.

In the embodiment, a jigsaw book has four different jigsaws (the jigsaw A, the jigsaw B, the jigsaw C and the jigsaw D) respectively controlling four different sound sources (a sound source A, a sound source B, a sound source C and a sound source D), wherein the sound source A can play sound only if the jigsaw A is placed on a sensing area 205A, the sound source A and the sound source B can synchronously play sound when the jigsaw B is placed on a sensing area 205B, and so on, until all jigsaws (the jigsaw A, the jigsaw B, the jigsaw C and the jigsaw D) are placed on the sensing area 205A, the sensing area 205B, a sensing area 205C and a sensing area 205D, the sound source A, the sound source B, the sound source C and the sound source D play sound synchronously. If the jigsaw B is taken away from the sensing area 205B in process, the sound source B does not play sound, and only the sound source A, the sound source C and the sound source D play sound synchronously.

A sensing board in the embodiment is a flexible printed circuit board, a conductive printing ink is printed on a medium regarding to the printed circuit, the medium comprises but is not limited to PET, glue, wood, paper, etc. the sensing board is not limited to the flexible printed circuit board, and can be but is not limited to a rigid PCB, etc. The sensing area 205 is the conductive printing ink with an independently coded pattern, a bottom of the button 206 is provided with a conductive printing ink corresponding to a coded pattern of the sensing area 205 (the sensing area 205 can also be but is not limited to a cold iron metal, a hot iron metal, a rigid PCB, etc.), and a layer of lining paper 207 is provided outside the conductive printing ink at the bottom of the button 206 to cover the conductive printing ink, as shown in FIG. 7. A bottom of the whole jigsaw can be entirely printed by the conductive printing ink, some patterns or shapes can also be printed, but the patterns and the shapes shall be approximately matched with a pattern or a shape of the sensing area 205, which is not always the same.

The shape of the sensing area 205 in the embodiment is square with a grid, but the shape of the sensing area can also be a square, a rectangle, a circle or any other shapes. Further, the sensing area 205 can have the grid or a solid core. Each sound source channel is triggered by two sensing areas 205 (which can be one sensing area 205 or multiple sensing area 205 (FIG. 5)). A size and a state of the sensing area are adjustable (FIG. 6), and are generally decided according to a thickness of the lining paper, impedance of conductive printing ink and other factors.

The button 206 placed on the reader can be but not limited to a card, a plastic doll, and so on, of which a bottom is printed with an independent code (FIG. 9) formed by conductive printing ink, cold iron metal, hot iron metal or a traditional PCB. The code in the embodiment is circular, but the code can also be in different shapes, such as a heart shape, a rectangle, or any other regular or irregular shapes (FIG. 10 to FIG. 13). The reader can recognize the identification of the card or the doll (an identification code A) only if any one card or doll with the independent code is placed on any reader, and then informs an electronic component to play corresponding sound source (the sound source A is played), and the remaining sound sources are played silently (the sound sources B, C and D are only played silently).

Since two cards or dolls (identifications A and B) have been placed on two different readers, the sound source A and the sound source B play sound at the same time.

Similarly, more synchronous sound sources can be made only if the cards or the dolls with an identification C and an identification D are placed on different readers. The technical identification code and the reader can be infinitely expanded.
