Abstract:
1. A personal wireless device for reproducing program data when authorized, wherein program audio data related to the program data is reproduced by one or more sound reproducing transducers within a venue, said personal wireless device comprising: a receiver for receiving wireless transmissions and demodulating program data contained therein, wherein the program data includes program audio data, or program video data, or text data, or a combination thereof; a storage device for storing data therein; a processor coupled to said receiver for determining a delay time representative of the difference in time between program data received via wireless transmission and program audio data received via the atmosphere as sound reproduced by the one or more sound reproducing transducers; said processor controlling a programmable delay device to delay the received program data by the determined delay time; a reproducing device coupled to the programmable delay device for reproducing the delayed received program data in a human perceivable form; and said processor determining an authorization for reproducing the received program data and/or the delayed received program data; wherein said processor enables said reproducing device to reproduce received program data in accordance with the authorization, whereby the reproduced program data and the ambient sound received from the sound reproducing transducers via the atmosphere at the location of said personal wireless device are in substantial time alignment if reproduction of delayed program data is authorized.
