Abstract
Embodiments for providing recreational assistance are described. A system for providing recreational assistance includes a frame and a microphone, a speaker, and at least one processor connected to the frame. The at least one processor is in operable communication with the microphone and the speaker and configured to, in response to the detection of an aural command by the microphone, generate a signal representative of a distance between the frame and a landmark and cause the speaker to generate an aural indication representative of the distance.
Claims17
A golfing assistant device comprising:
- a frame;
- a microphone connected to the frame;
- a Global Positioning System (GPS) module connected to the frame;
- at least one speaker connected to the frame;
- and
- at least one processor connected to the frame and in operable communication with the microphone, the GPS module, and the at least one speaker, wherein the at least one processor is configured to, in response to the detection of an aural command by the microphone, cause the at least one speaker to render an aural indication representative of GPS information received from the GPS module,
- wherein the GPS information comprises a distance between the frame and a landmark on a golf course,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the at least one speaker to render at least one audio file and cause a volume with which at least one of the aural indication and the at least one audio file is rendered by the at least one speaker to be automatically reduced based on a second golfing assistant device being detected rendering at least one of a second aural indication and a second audio file within a predetermined distance of the frame, and
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the volume with which the at least one audio file is rendered by the at least one speaker to be reduced while the aural indication is rendered by the at least one speaker.
A golfing assistant device comprising:
- a frame;
- a microphone connected to the frame, the microphone being configured to detect an aural command;
- a speaker connected to the frame;
- and
- at least one processor connected to the frame and in operable communication with the microphone and the speaker, wherein the at least one processor is configured to, in response to the detection of the aural command by the microphone, generate a signal representative of a distance between the frame and a landmark on a golf course and cause the speaker to render an aural indication representative of the distance,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the speaker to render at least one audio file and cause a volume with which at least one of the aural indication and the at least one audio file is rendered by the speaker to be automatically adjusted based on a second golfing assistant device being detected rendering at least one of a second aural indication and a second audio file within a predetermined distance of the frame, and
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the volume with which one of the aural indication and the at least one audio file is rendered by the speaker to be automatically adjusted while the other of the aural indication and the at least one audio file is being rendered.
