Abstract
A system for displaying audio content with text including a book holder and a book. The book holder identifies which book of a plurality is placed in the holder by detecting magnetic indicators in specific locations and arrangements which are unique to each book. The page of the book which a user views at any given time is identified by detection of ambient light, by detection of a number of circuit elements in parallel, by detection of progressively stacked magnetic sensors, or by microwave reflection.
Claims30
A system for displaying audio with text, comprising:
- a book holder;
- a book having a plurality of positions, at least some of the positions having indicators which are detectable by the holder;
- wherein the placement of the indicators identifies the book.
A system for displaying audio with text, comprising:
- a book holder system;
- a book having a binding defining a first plurality of locations and a second plurality of locations;
- wherein the first plurality of locations is used to identify the book when placed in the book holder.
A system for displaying audio with text, comprising:
- a book and a book holder designed to receive the book, the book having a plurality of pages;
- wherein at least some of the pages of the book each include a first hole, the first holes all being substantially the same size;
- wherein at least some of the pages of the book each include a second hole, wherein the second holes all differ in size from one another.
The system of 13, further comprising first and second detectors in the book holder, the first detector being positioned to detect electromagnetic energy passing through the first holes, the second detector being positioned to detect electromagnetic energy passing through the second holes.
A system for displaying audio with text, comprising:
- a book holder designed to receive a book, the book having a plurality of pages;
- electrical components attached to at least some of the pages, the electrical components of different pages being electrically connected in parallel when the different pages are overlaid to form a circuit;
- wherein when a first set of the pages are overlaid, an electrical characteristic assumes a first value at a point in the circuit;
- and
- wherein when a second set of the pages are overlaid, the electrical characteristic assumes a second value at the point in the circuit.
A system for displaying audio with text, comprising:
- a book holder designed to receive a book, the book having a plurality of pages;
- a conductive material placed on each page of the plurality of pages;
- a resistive material placed on each page of the plurality of pages;
- wherein the conductive material and the resistive material on each page of the plurality forms a circuit when the pages of the plurality are overlaid such that the resistive material of each page is in parallel with the resistive material of the other pages of the plurality.
A system for displaying audio with text, comprising:
- a book holder designed to receive a book, the book having a plurality of pages;
- magnetic material attached to each of the plurality of pages such that when pages of the plurality are overlaid, the strength of a resulting magnetic field increases;
- wherein the book holder includes a magnetic field sensor positioned to detect the resulting magnetic field.
A system for displaying audio with text, comprising:
- a book holder designed to receive a book, the book having a plurality of pages, the book holder including an electromagnetic energy transceiver;
- a first antenna on a first page of the book;
- a second antenna on a second page of the book;
- wherein when the book is in a first open position, the first antenna reflects a first amount of electromagnetic energy emitted from the transceiver;
- wherein when the book is in a second open position, the first page and second page are overlaid and the first and second antennae reflect a second amount of electromagnetic energy from the transceiver.
