Patent ID: 11959296
Assignee: GRAVETIME INC.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC E  H  G | IPC E  G  H

Claim 10:
11. An apparatus configured to provide telepresence at a graveside memorial, comprising:
a processor;
a video camera, operably and communicatively coupled with the processor;
a wireless communication interface, operably and communicatively coupled with the processor; and,
a memory that is not a transitory propagating signal, the memory operably connected to the processor and encoding computer readable instructions, including processor executable program instructions, the computer readable instructions accessible to the processor, wherein the processor executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
exchange multimedia between a grave and a user's communications device remote from the grave;
activate an energy emitter adapted to physically interact with the grave responsive to the remote user's activity; and,
send to the user's communication device a live indication of the energy emitter physical interaction with the grave;

wherein the energy emitter further comprises a low frequency audio transducer adapted to emit sound energy constrained to a frequency range below the lower limit of the human-audible frequency range, and wherein the sound energy emitted is not audible by humans when the audio transducer is activated; and
wherein the low frequency audio transducer is disposed to direct sound emitted from the low frequency audio transducer at the memorial when the low frequency audio transducer is activated.
