Abstract
An audience response system with dynamic user interfaces and methods of using such an audience response system. The audience response system includes a wireless aggregation point and multiple remote handsets communicatively coupled to that wireless aggregation point. The remote handsets may be used (e.g., by students) to answer questions (e.g., posed by a teacher). At least some of the remote handsets may include user interfaces that include user input interface elements that are configurable via the wireless aggregation point. Additionally, the user interfaces of at least some of the remote handsets may provide feedback to the students regarding their interaction with the remote handsets.

17. An audience response system comprising:
-
a wireless aggregation point; and a plurality of remote handsets communicatively coupled to the wireless aggregation point, each of the plurality of remote handsets having a user interface, the user interface comprising a plurality of user input interface elements, the user interface configured to; provide a user, via the plurality of user input interface elements, with a plurality of possible answers to a question, wherein each of the plurality of possible answers corresponds to a different one of the plurality of user input interface elements; and provide the user, via the plurality of user input interface elements, with an indication of which of the plurality of possible answers are selectable and an indication of which of the plurality of possible answers have been selected by the user, wherein each of the plurality of user input interface elements may operate in at least two operational states based on at least one of; whether the respective user input interface element is selectable; and whether the respective user input interface element has been selected by the user; and
wherein each of the plurality of user input interface elements is configured to provide the user with an indication of an operational state of the respective user input interface element. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
