METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AN ACOUSTIC INTERFACE

摘要

The present invention is directed towards a system 10 and process 110 for navigating through a large amount of information e.g., audio files, text files, video files, device functions, etc. using audio cues representative of the information. Each audio cue 82 is a brief burst of sound e.g., a lyric from a particular song representative of a predetermined number of additional audio cues or data segments. The audio cues 82 are arranged in a multi-level tree data structure 70 and are selectable by a user. This arrangement permits the user to navigate through the information or data segments without having to remember visual or alphanumeric elements e.g., song title, artist name, or track number.
