Interactive audio puzzle solving, game playing, and learning tutorial system and method

An interactive audio puzzle solving, game playing, and learning tutorial system comprising:

• a microphone for receiving speech from a user;
• a electronic subsystem for converting the speech into user input data;
• a memory for storing the user input data, rules associated with a type of puzzle, game and/or learning tutorial, and initial data associated with a specific puzzle, game and/or learning tutorial;
• a logic engine for generating a decision output based on the user input data, and/or the rules and/or the initial data and the electronic subsystem converts the decision output to digital speech;
• an audio output device responsive to analog signals representing the digital speech for generating output auditory speech;
• and
• wherein the speech from the user and the output auditory speech establish an interactive auditory dialogue for solving a puzzle, playing a game and/or learning from a tutorial.

A method for interactively and audibly solving a puzzle, playing a game, or using a learning tutorial comprising:

• receiving speech from a user;
• converting the speech into digital signals;
• converting the digital signals into user input data;
• storing the user input data, rules associated with a type of puzzle, a game, and/or a learning tutorial, and initial data associated with a specific puzzle, game and/or learning tutorial;
• generating a decision output based on user input data and/or the rules and/or the initial data;
• providing digital speech representing the decision output;
• converting the digital speech into analog signals;
• playing the digital speech with a loudspeaker as auditory output speech;
• and
• wherein the speech from the user and the output auditory speech establishes an interactive auditory dialogue between the user and the system for solving a puzzle, playing a game, and/or using a learning tutorial.
