摘要： The present invention teaches a variety of methods and systems for providing computer/human interfaces. According to one method, the user interfaces with an electronic device such as a computer system by engaging a sensor with desired regions of an encoded physical medium. The encoded physical medium is preferably chosen to provide intuitive meaning to the user, and is thus an improved metaphor for interfacing with the computer system. Suitable examples of the encoded physical medium include a data-linked book, magazine, globe, or article of clothing. Some or all of the selected regions have had certain information encoded therein, information suitable for interfacing and controlling the computer system. When the user engages the sensor with a region having certain encoded information, the certain encoded information is interpreted and an appropriate action taken. For example, the sensor or the computer system may provide suitable feedback to the user. The encoded physical medium may have text and/or graphic illustrations that draw the user in or provide meaningful clues or instructions perhaps related to the encoded information. The sensor may have at least one identification number (ID) providing information such as user identity, sensor type, access type, or language type. The sensor can transmit the certain decoded information together with the at least one ID to the computer system.

One scheme for storing the certain encoded data is a spectral encoding scheme. In a preferred embodiment, the spectral encoding scheme uses red, green, blue (RGB). The content is encoded according to the intensities of the RGB colors within the hot spot. In another embodiment, a marker color is inserted into the hot spot to indicate that content is encoded therein.

摘要： Providing interaction between a user with remote data stored on a network is disclosed. A physical medium has at least one hot spot encoded with linking data enabling access to remote data. The linking data is encoded according to a spectral encoding scheme. At least part of the linking data is visible and is blended with and appears to comprise at least part of an un-encoded graphic or text visible on the physical medium such that it is not apparent to a viewer of the physical medium that said linking data is encoded in said at least one hot spot. A sensor measures the hot spot and decodes the linking data. A transmitter coupled to the sensor transmits the linking data to a remote computer system. The remote computer system responds to the linking data to retrieve the remote data and present the remote data to the user.

摘要： A wearable portable entertainment and personal communication system which provides high quality sound, particularly at low audio frequencies, and which does not block or attenuate environmental sounds is disclosed. In a first embodiment, a transducer or transducer array is positioned on a wall in a sampling chamber between two cavities. One of the cavities is sealed and the other has one or more conduit members which direct the acoustic signals to one or both of the wearer's ears. In a second embodiment, both cavities have conduits, one directed to each of the wearer's ears. With either embodiment, the sampling chamber optionally can be combined with separate high frequency transducers. With both embodiments, the chambers are incorporated into a wearable garment and the transducers are connected to a source of audio signals.

摘要： A personal wearable portable communication and entertainment system which provides improved quality audio response and which does not interfere with the wearer's activities or block environmental sounds is disclosed. Transducers or speakers, which preferably are provided in arrayed pairs, are situated in a wearable structure, such as a garment for the wearer's torso or a headband for the wearer's head. The transducers are positioned on opposite sides of the wearer's torso or head, adjacent the ears. In one embodiment, the transducers share a common closed enclosure and are driven 180.degree. out of phase, so that back pressures cancel. In another embodiment, two hollow enclosures are provided, each with its own transducer and acoustic aperture. In a further embodiment, the transducers are positioned in a common hollow enclosure with at least one acoustic aperture between them. The speaker system is connected to or in communication with a conventional source of audio signals, such as a radio, tape player, CD player, cellular telephone or the like. With the invention, low frequency response in particular is enhanced.
