US 2025/0218463 A1 · Book with Audio Output and Recording Function

Abstract

A book assembly with internal electronics. The book assembly has the structure of a book with a front cover, a rear cover, and at least one page. A plurality of touch sensors are disposed within the book with at least some of the pages containing a touch sensor. A microphone and speaker are supported by the book assembly and are usable with the book assembly being either open or closed. The book assembly contains circuitry for recording and storing custom audio files made via the microphone. The circuity can also hold preset audio files that come with the book assembly. At least one control switch is accessible on the book structure for selecting between a recording mode and a play mode. In the recording mode, the circuitry records a custom audio file for each of said plurality of touch sensors. The custom audio recording is assigned to the touch sensor that is activated at the time of the recording. After the recording, the circuitry plays the custom audio file assigned to a touch sensor when the touch sensor is activated. In alternate operational modes, the activation sensors can trigger the play of preset audio files when activated.
