  • Publication number: 20090300523
    Abstract: A system and method for embedding information onto an electronic device includes a memory device that is coupled to the electronic device for storing embedded information that the electronic device may then access and utilize. A device user initially utilizes a device ordering system to create a device order that specifically identifies the embedded information. The device order is then utilized during a device manufacturing process to image the memory device with the embedded information before providing the electronic device to the device user.

  • Patent number: 6941220
    Abstract: A navigation aide device is disclosed that is capable of conveying traveling instructions to a user in possession of the device to allow the user to navigate from a predetermined source position on a predetermined road map, containing road information, to a predetermined destination position on the map, along an optimal road route, under control of travel instructions spoken by the device. Preferably the device includes a position sensor for sensing position of the device and reporting that position, a text to speech converter, a sound conveying device (such as a speaker and associated amplifier) operably connected to the text to speech converter for conveying speech to the user. The device further includes memory for storing a predetermined road map containing road information and a controller. The controller is operably connected to the position sensor, text to speech converter and map memory.
