Patent ID: 8553722

Claim:
A method for providing spatially selectable communications using deconstructed and delayed data streams, wherein the method is performed by a sending device, the method comprising: receiving a data stream into the sending device from a data source, wherein the sending device includes a plurality of transmitters; receiving an indication of a target point for the data stream and a target volume around the target point; deconstructing the data stream into a plurality of data substreams, wherein each data substream is sent by a different one of the plurality of transmitters; determining a corresponding transmitter delay for each transmitter used to send one of the plurality of data substreams, wherein the transmitter delay is based on a spatial relationship between the target point and corresponding transmitter used to transmit the one of the plurality of data substreams; determining, based on the target volume, a data interval spacing to apply between each data substream at transmission, wherein the applied data interval spacing and the transmitter delays prevent reconstruction of the plurality of data substreams back into the data stream in all areas in space except within the target volume; and sending, from the plurality of transmitters, the plurality of data substreams using the corresponding transmitter delay and with the data interval spacing between each data substream.
