Abstract: Different embodiments of the invention are based on a directional speaker. The audio signals from the speaker can be generated by transforming ultrasonic signals in air. The embodiments can be applied to a number of different areas, such as a cell phone, a hearing aid, a portable device, an entertainment system, and a computation system. The embodiments can be personalized to the hearing characteristics of the user, or to the ambient noise level of the environment. As applied to cell phones or portable electronic devices, the outputs from some of those embodiments can be in a directionally constrained manner, achieving a certain degree of privacy, without the need to wear a headset or ear phone, or to hold a speaker against one's ear, while freeing up both of the user's hands. As applied to a hearing aid, some of those embodiments do not have to be inserted into the user's ear. As applied to audio output systems, the directional delivery of audio output from some of those embodiments can be targeted to those one or more persons desirous of hearing the audio output. A number of the attributes of the audio output, such as its beam width, beam direction, the degree of isolation and the volume, can be controlled, either by a user or by monitored measurements. As applied to wireless delivery of audio sounds from audio systems to personal audio devices, some of those embodiments permit users of the personal audio device to be mobile yet still acquire the audio sounds.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for networked in-store media advertising. A local media advertising system is operably coupled to a media content server (102) via a communications network (105). The system receives advertising content and an advertising content display schedule from the content server. The system displays the advertising content according to the advertising content display schedule. The system has a viewer sensor that compiles viewer data about the number of viewers and customers in the vicinity of the displayed media content. The system generates viewer information about how many viewers and customers were in the vicinity of the displayed advertising content using the viewer data and the advertising content display schedule. The system then transmits the viewer information to a statistics server (104) via the communications network (105). Advertisers can then retrieve the viewer information from the statistics server in order to monitor the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.
