16 May 2001TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a wireless communication system for digital audio players that provides for increased functionality, such as communication, interaction and synchronization between a computing platform and various mobile, portable or fixed DAs, as well as providing a communication link between the DAs themselves.
Abstract: A wireless communication system and in particular to a wireless communication system for digital audio players that provides for increased functionality, such as communication, interaction and synchronization between a computing platform and various mobile, portable or fixed digital audio players, as well as providing a communication link between the various digital audio players themselves. The computing platform may act, for example, through a wireless network or wireless communication platform, to control the digital audio players; to act as a cache of digital audio data for the digital audio players; as well as provide a gateway to the Internet to enable the digital audio players to access additional digital audio content and other information. The computing platform may also be used to automatically update digital audio content on the digital audio players; synchronize digital audio content and playlists between digital audio players; and automatically continue a particular playlist as the user moves from one digital audio player to another.

TL;DR: In this paper, an alarm clock radio is provided that handles downloaded audio files and streaming digital audio files, such as e-mail, news and other audio content such as Internet radio station content.
Abstract: An alarm clock radio is provided that handles downloaded audio files and streaming digital audio files. The alarm clock radio may have buttons and displays that allow the user to adjust various alarm clock radio settings. The user may also adjust settings remotely over the Internet or over an in-home network. The user may customize the audio content that is provided with the alarm clock radio. Advertisements may be provided to the user. The user may be provided with an opportunity to subscribe to a content service. Content such as Internet radio station content, e-mail, news and other audio content may be provided to the user from the service. The user may set reminders for particular times and dates using the alarm clock radio. The alarm clock radio may also have a telephone handset. The alarm clock radio may have buttons and knobs and may provide on-screen options that allow the user to tune to AM and FM and Internet radio stations and to control the operation of the alarm clock radio.

TL;DR: In this paper, a home entertainment and information system is provided which assigns and transmits audio programming to audio output devices, such that when a program is selected using the remote control device, the audio portion of the program is transmitted to the assigned audio output device.
Abstract: A home entertainment and information system is provided which assigns and transmits audio programming to audio output devices. Digital and analog signals from a variety of program sources are received by the home entertainment and information system. The system assigns and transmits to an audio output device a program that is distinct from programs assigned and transmitted to other audio output devices within the same system, and thus where two users are viewing different programs visually displayed on the same or different monitors, they hear the audio portion of the respective program they are viewing through individual audio output devices. An audio output device is also assignable to a remote control device such that when a program is selected using the remote control device, the audio portion of the program is transmitted to the assigned audio output device.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for providing user-controlled, continuous, synchronized variable-speed playback of a previously recorded digital audio/video presentation, where the user directly controls the rate of playback and the audio and video remain synchronized.
Abstract: Method and system for providing user-controlled, continuous, synchronized variable-speed playback of a previously recorded digital audio/video presentation. The user directly controls the rate of playback and the audio and video remain synchronized. The audio is expanded or compressed using the time domain harmonic scaling method so that the pitch of the audio remains undistorted. Synchronization is maintained by allowing one clock to serve as the master time clock for the system. The clocks which can serve as the master time clock include the audio decoder clock, the video decoder clock, and the system clock. The invention is particularly useful in multimedia display systems designed to display MPEG data.

TL;DR: In this article, a system including a transmitter, a receiver, and a serial link is presented, in which the transmitter is configured to transmit video data, embedded-clock auxiliary data (or auxiliary data derived from embedded clock auxiliary data), and a video clock over the link to the receiver.
Abstract: In preferred embodiments, a system including a transmitter, a receiver, and a serial link, in which the transmitter is configured to transmit video data, embedded-clock auxiliary data (or auxiliary data derived from embedded-clock auxiliary data), and a video clock over the link to the receiver. The transmitter is configured to extract a sample clock from the auxiliary data without use of a phase-locked loop, and to generate time stamp data in response to the sample clock and the video clock. Typically, the auxiliary data are SPDIF (or other) audio data, and the sample clock changes state in response to codes that occur periodically in the audio data. Other aspects of the invention are a transmitter for use in such a system, a time stamp data generation circuit for use in such a transmitter, and a method for generating time stamp data in response to a stream of embedded-clock auxiliary data and a video clock.
