Abstract
Embodiments of an electronic system for asynchronous audio and video in and environment includes a server with a connection to a wireless access point or a personal digital device that communicates with the server through the wireless access point. The server receives and stores an audio track that is to accompany a public display. The personal digital device acts as a client to the server. A user interface enables a user of the personal digital device to request an audio track corresponding to the public display. The server initiates a stream of the requested audio track to be wirelessly transmitted to and received by the personal digital device. The personal digital device plays at least some of the requested audio track to the user.
Claims20
An electronic system comprising:
- a server that receives and stores an audio track that is to accompany a public display;
- and
- a connection from the server to a wireless access point through which the server receives a request from a personal digital device for an audio track corresponding to the public display;
- and wherein:
- the server initiates a stream of the requested audio track to be wirelessly transmitted to and received by the personal digital device in response to receiving the request when the personal digital device is located within a geofence area within which the audio track is available;
- the personal digital device plays at least some of the requested audio track to a user;
- the public display is a digital sign;
- and
- the geofence area is not centered on the digital sign, and the digital sign is visible to the user while the user is in the geofence area.
An electronic system comprising:
- a server that receives and stores multiple audio tracks corresponding to a video display;
- and
- a connection from the server to a wireless access point through which the server receives a request from a personal digital device for one of the multiple audio tracks corresponding to the video display;
- and wherein:
- the server initiates a stream of the one of the multiple audio tracks to be wirelessly transmitted to and received by the personal digital device in response to receiving the request when the personal digital device is located within a geofence area within which the audio track is available;
- the personal digital device plays at least some of the one of the multiple audio tracks to a user;
- and
- the geofence area within which the multiple audio tracks are available is not centered on the video display, and the video display is visible to the user while the user is in the geofence area.
