Time-shifting distribution of high definition audio data
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a memory;
a communication interface; and
a processor connected with the memory and the communication interface, the processor configured to process time-shift logic, the time-shift logic configured to;
receive a record indication from a communication device, the record indication specifying an audio selection, and in response;
tune the communication interface to obtain initial audio data according to the audio selection;
transcode the initial audio data into High Definition (HD) Voice data; and
store the HD Voice data in the memory; and
receive a forward indication from the communication device, and in response;
determine a destination device; and
transmit the HD Voice data stored in the memory to the destination device through the communication interface.

Abstract
A system may time-shift the distribution high-definition (HD) audio. The system can obtain an audio stream from a specified audio source, transcode the audio stream into an HD audio stream, and store the HD audio stream in a memory. The system may later forward the stored HD audio stream to a destination device, which can be a communication device linked to the system through a local telephone network or a remote communication device. The system can also store HD audio when a local communication device receives an incoming call request that interrupts a current HD audio distribution process. The system may resume distribution of the HD audio after processing the incoming call request from a point when the distribution was interrupted.
