48. A method for use in data exchange between communication systems, the method comprising utilizing an acoustic transducer arrangement configured to carrying out the following:
-
receiving an electrical, RF or IR signal encoded with data coming from a first communication system and addressed to a second communication system;
converting the received signal into a corresponding digital data stream;
processing said digital data stream to translate it into a predetermined sequence of frequencies;
concurrently operating an array of acoustic transmitters to generate a multi-frequency acoustic signal in the form of a superposition of frequency components generated by the acoustic transmitters; and
transmitting the generated multi-frequency acoustic signal to a second acoustic transducer arrangement associated with the second communication system. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61)
