Abstract
A system for communicating pitch selections wirelessly from a wireless transmitter has a coded signal generator that generates coded signals in accordance with selected pitch types. A receiver decodes the received coded signals, selects an audio file based on the received coded signal and generates an audio signal announcing the selected pitch type based on the transmitted selected pitch type in accordance with the received coded signal. The audio signal is transduced by a bone conductor transducer so that the player can hear the announced selected pitch type through bone conduction.
Claims15
A system for communicating pitch selections wirelessly, the system comprising:
- a transmitter having a signal generator that generates a coded signal in accordance with a selected pitch type, and a wireless transmitter coupled to the signal generator and configured to transmit a coded wireless signal signifying the selected pitch type in accordance with the coded signal;
- a wireless receiver that decodes the received coded wireless signal, selects a stored audio file corresponding to the selected pitch type based on the received coded signal and generates an audio signal from the stored audio file;
- and
- at least one bone conductor that transduces the audio signal into a human-perceptible signal.
A system for communicating a selected pitch type to a person wearing a baseball hat, comprising:
- a transmitter having a signal generator that generates a coded signal in accordance with a selected pitch type, and a wireless transmitter coupled to the signal generator and configured to transmit a coded wireless signal signifying the selected pitch type in accordance with the coded signal;
- a hat with a wireless receiver that decodes the received coded wireless signal, selects a stored audio file corresponding to the selected pitch type based on the received coded signal and generates an audio signal from the stored audio file;
- and
- at least one bone conductor that transduces the audio signal into a human-perceptible signal.
