MULTIPLE-LANGUAGE AUDIO INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND DEVICE

摘要

A personal audio device (PAD) includes a communication interface enabling a wireless communication link between the PAD and a communication network. The communication interface is operable to receive an information transmission in a selected language from one or more audio sources coupled to the communication network. Each audio source communicates one or more information transmissions, where the information transmissions pertain to the same subject matter but are in different languages. The PAD also includes a controller operable to process one or more information transmissions received by the communication interface. In addition the PAD includes a user interface operable to receive a selection of a particular language in which a user desires to receive information. The PAD communicates that selection to the controller, the selection indicating to the controller which information transmission to process. The PAD also includes an output device operable to provide the contents of the processed information transmission to the user. A system and method allow for a novel communications system directed at providing multiple-language audio information transmissions.
