WIRELESS AUDIENCE RESPONSE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A response device configured to communicate wirelessly in an audience response system, the device comprising:
- a display configured to display a question identifier that uniquely identifies a question from a sequence of questions including at least a first question and a final question;
a user input interface configured to receive a user selection corresponding to one of skipping of the question and a user response to the question;
a processor operably connected to the display and to the user input interface, and configured to receive data representing the user selection corresponding to the one of the skipping of the question and the user response to the question;
a logic operably connected to the display and the processor, where the question is the final question in the sequence of questions, and where the logic is configured to cause the display to display an indication that at least one question from the sequence of questions remains unanswered upon the processor receiving the data representing the user selection corresponding to the one of the skipping of the question and the user response to the question; and
a transceiver operably connected to the processor and configured to wirelessly transmit signals including a signal encoding data representing the user response to the question.

Abstract
An audience response device is configured to communicate wirelessly in an audience response system. The device includes a display configured to display a question identifier and a user input interface configured to receive a user selection. The device further includes a processor operably connected to the display and to the user input interface, and configured to receive data representing the user selection. The device further includes a transceiver operably connected to the processor and configured to wirelessly transmit signals including a signal encoding data representing the user response to the question. The device further includes a logic operably connected to the display and the processor and configured to cause the display to display indications regarding the audience response session, a question, a sequence of questions, and so on.

5. A response device configured to communicate wirelessly in an audience response system, the device comprising:
-
a display configured to display a question identifier, where question identifiers uniquely identify questions from a sequence of questions including at least a first question and a final question, and where the displayed question identifier corresponds to a question currently queued for the response device to receive a response to the question; a user input interface configured to receive a user selection; a processor operably connected to the display and to the user input interface, and configured to receive data representing the user selection; a logic operably connected to the display and the processor, where the logic is configured to cause the display to graphically indicate whether one or more of the questions from the sequence of questions have been answered or remain unanswered upon the processor receiving the data representing the user selection; and a transceiver operably connected to the processor and configured to transmit signals including a signal encoding data representing the user response. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A response device configured to communicate wirelessly in an audience response system, the device comprising:
-
a display configured to display a question identifier, where question identifiers uniquely identify questions from a sequence of questions including at least a first question and a final question, and where the displayed question identifier corresponds to a question currently queued for the response device to receive a response to the question; a user input interface configured to receive a user selection corresponding to one of skipping of the question currently queued and a user response to the question currently queued; a processor operably connected to the display and to the user input interface, and configured to receive data representing the user selection corresponding to the one of the skipping of the question currently queued and the user response to the question currently queued; a transceiver operably connected to the processor and configured to transmit signals including a signal encoding data representing the user response to the question currently queued; and a logic operably connected to the display and the processor and configured to, upon the processor receiving the data representing the user selection corresponding to the one of the user response to the question currently queued and skipping of the question currently queued, skip at least one answered question in the sequence of questions, queue an unanswered question from the sequence of questions for the response device to receive a response to the unanswered question, and cause the display to display a question identifier corresponding to the unanswered question. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A response device configured to communicate wirelessly in an audience response system, the device comprising:
-
a display configured to display a question identifier, where question identifiers uniquely identify questions from a sequence of questions including at least a first question and a final question, and where the displayed question identifier corresponds to a question currently queued for the response device to receive a response to the question; a user input interface configured to receive a user selection, where user selections include a user selection corresponding to skipping of the question currently queued, a user selection corresponding to flagging of the question currently queued, and a user selection corresponding to a user response to the question currently queued; a processor operably connected to the display and to the user input interface, and configured to receive data representing the user selection; a logic operably connected to the processor and configured to, upon the processor receiving the data representing the user selection corresponding to the flagging of the question currently queued, modify data associated with the question currently queued to record that the question currently queued has been flagged; and a transceiver operably connected to the processor and configured to wirelessly transmit a signal encoding data representing the user response to the question currently queued upon the processor receiving the data representing the user selection corresponding to the user response to the question currently queued. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
