Method and apparatus for remote capture of audio in a handheld device

摘要

Some embodiments herein include at least one of systems, methods, and devices for remote audio capture using a hand-held device. In some embodiments, the device captures, stores, and transmits audio to another device via wireless technologies. In some embodiments, the device may be used either as a hand-held microphone or as a lavaliere microphone.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a first device that includes:
an elongated housing structure of sufficient length to fit in the palm of a human hand, the elongated housing structure with two ends;a microphone operable to capture audio data located on one of the two ends of the elongated housing structure;an antenna within the housing structure, operable to transmit wirelessly the captured audio data to other devices;a clip attached to the elongated housing structure, operable to attach the housing structure to human clothing;a processor;a first memory coupled to the processor;instructions stored on the first memory, operable to cause the processor to execute a wireless protocol;a wireless application programming interface (API) executable by the processor to send and receive data;a wireless chip coupled to the processor, the wireless chip operable to send and receive wireless signals;a battery, which supplies power to the microphone, the antenna, the processor, the first memory, and the wireless chip;wherein the first device is worn and used by a human as a lavaliere microphone, and wherein the first device is used as a hand-held microphone; a second device, wherein the second device wirelessly receives a stream of the audio data from the first device, wherein the second device captures a stream of video data, and wherein there is a latency between the stream of audio data and the stream of video data; a calculator that calculates a latency between the stream of audio data and the stream of video data; a synchronizer that removes the latency between the audio and video data to synchronize the audio data and video data; and a combiner that combines the synchronized audio data and video data into an audio-video file.
