<p>Each participant of an event is provided with a slave wireless handset 30a, 30b, 30c which is in communication with a base station handset 31. Each wireless handset is reconfigurable to act as either a slave, a base station or a master controller handset (see fig. 19). The master handset processes the responses received by the base station handset from the slave handsets. Each handset may automatically reconfigure itself as a base/master handset upon connection to a computer 32. Each handset may transmit the position of the participant, may allow audible response by the participant, may belong to a subgroup of the participants, may periodically determine communication capability, may be part of a translation system and may be reconfigurable by software download. The handsets may be stored in a recharging or other rack and may be automatically enabled upon being removed from the rack or automatically disabled upon being replaced in the rack.</p> |
