Substrate for use with audio file player
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for playing an audio clip via coded data disposed on or in a surface, the coded data identifying a plurality of first positions on the surface, the surface including at least one visual representation of the audio clip, at least part of the coded data associated with the audio clip being at least partially overlapping with the at least one visual representation of the audio clip, the method including:
- sensing an image of at least part of the coded data by placing a selection device including an audio player over the visual representation of the audio clip;
identifying, from the image, a second position relative to the surface;
retrieving, using the selection device and based on the second position, the audio clip; and
converting the audio clip to analogue form for playback.

Abstract
A substrate includes at least one visual representation of an audio file and encoded data associated with the at least one audio file. The encoded data can be sensed by a selection device to cause an audio file stored in a computer system to be provided to the selection device from said computer system.

10. An audio player for playing an audio clip via coded data disposed on or in a surface, the coded data identifying a plurality of first positions on the surface, the audio player including:
-
an image sensor; a processor, and a digital to analogue converter;
the audio player being configured to;sense, using the image sensor, an image of at least part of the coded data; identify, using the processor and from the image, a second position; retrieve, based on the second position, the audio clip; and convert, using the digital to analogue converter, the audio clip to analogue form for playback; wherein the surface includes at least one visual representation of an audio clip, and wherein at least part of the coded data associated with the audio clip at least partially overlaps with the at least one visual representation of the audio clip, such that a user can place the audio player over the visual representation of the audio clip to sense coded data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A selection device for playing an audio clip via coded data disposed on or in a surface, the coded data identifying a plurality of first positions on the surface, the surface including at least one visual representation of the audio clip, at least part of the coded data associated with the audio clip at least partially overlapping with the at least one visual representation of the audio clip, the selection device including:
-
an image sensor; and
,a processor;
the selection device being configured to;sense, using the image sensor, an image of at least part of the coded data by placing the selection device over the visual representation of the audio clip; identify, using the processor and from the image, a second position; and
,retrieving, based on the second position, the audio clip, the retrieved audio clip being provided to a device for playback. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
