Patent ID: 8290174

Claim:
A personal wireless device for receiving and reproducing when authorized RF broadcast program data including video data, authorization data and audio data of a venue or event, the audio data also reproduced by one or more sound reproducing transducers within the venue or event, said personal wireless device comprising: a receiver for receiving wireless RF broadcast transmissions and demodulating data contained therein, wherein the data includes at least locating data and authorization data and the program data; a storage device storing received program data, authorization data and a representation of the venue or event including locations of the sound reproducing transducers within the venue or event, wherein the representation of the venue or event includes a digital map, a digital drawing, a two dimensional CAD drawing and/or a three dimensional CAD drawing and optionally defines locations of one or more spaces, sections, seats, levels, stages, or a combination thereof; a processor coupled to said receiver for determining from the locating data and from the stored representation of the venue or event the physical location of said personal wireless device and a delay time representative of the difference in time between program data received via wireless transmission and program 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 including a video display and a sound reproducing transducer coupled to the programmable delay device for reproducing received program data and/or delayed received program video data and audio data in a human perceivable form; and said processor determining from the authorization data 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 video data, audio data and/or text data in accordance with the authorization if said personal wireless receiver is within an authorized physical location, space, section, seat and/or time of the venue or event, 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 thereof is authorized.
