audio animation system

Abstract

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a system for rendering audio animation, the system comprising: two or more non-biotic figures; an audio player, having two or more audio sources correspondingly to the two or more non-biotic figures, for simultaneously playing the audio signals associated with the two or more non-biotic figures; and two or more speaker units corresponding to the two or more audio sources. The system may further comprise means for wireless transmission of the audio signal of at least one of the audio sources to a remote speaker unit thereof. The means for wireless transmission may comprise a wireless transmission unit deployed at the audio player, and a wireless receiving unit deployed at the speaker unit. The non-biotic figure may be a two-dimensional, three-dimensional figure, and so on.

1 . An audio animation system, comprising:
 two or more non-biotic figures;   an audio player, having two or more audio sources correspondingly to said two or more non-biotic figures, for simultaneously playing the audio signals associated with said two or more non-biotic figures; and   two or more speaker units corresponding to said two or more audio sources.   
   
   
       2 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said speaker units is deployed closer to the non-biotic figure associated with said speaker unit than to any other of said non-biotic figures, for associating an audio signal with the non-biotic figure thereof. 
   
   
       3 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said figures is a two-dimensional figure. 
   
   
       4 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said figures is a three-dimensional figure. 
   
   
       5 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said audio player is selected from a group comprising: a computer, a DVD, an MP3 player, a cassette player, a TV set, a cellular telephone. 
   
   
       6 . A system according to  claim 1 , further comprising means for wireless transmission of the audio signal of at least one of said audio sources to a remote speaker unit thereof. 
   
   
       7 . A system according to  claim 6 , wherein said means for wireless transmission comprises: a wireless transmission unit deployed at said audio player, and a wireless receiving unit deployed at said speaker unit. 
   
   
       8 . A system according to  claim 1 , further comprising interaction means with a user. 
   
   
       9 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein said interaction means comprise speech recognition means. 
   
   
       10 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein said interaction means comprise a speech-to-text converter. 
   
   
       11 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said two or more audio sources are of a stereophonic device. 
   
   
       12 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein the content of said two or more audio sources is provided by a remote server over a network. 
   
   
       13 . A system according to  claim 12 , wherein said network is selected from a group comprising: a telephone network, a cable TV network, the Internet. 
   
   
       14 . A system according to  claim 13 , further comprising means for selecting the content to be provided. 
   
   
       15 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein said means for selecting the content to be displayed is selected from a group comprising: SMS analyzer, analyzer of data sent from a Web page. 
   
   
       16 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein the content of said two or more audio sources is provided by a memory card. 
   
   
       17 . In an audio animation system, an apparatus for operating a non-biotic figure, the apparatus comprising:
 a casing comprising:
 an audio inlet, to which an audio outlet of an audio player in connected; 
 an RF transmitter, for transmitting the audio signal entered through said inlet; 
   a circuitry installed in said non-biotic figure, said circuitry comprising:
 an RF receiver, for receiving an RF signal transmitted by said transmitter; 
 an amplifier, for amplifying said signal; and 
 a speaker unit, for playing said audio signal. 
   
   
   
       18 . An apparatus according to  claim 17 , wherein said non-biotic figure further comprises means for moving one or more organs of said non-biotic figures.
