Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a crew member (172) using a computing device (174) communicates over a wireless link (15) with a film system communication module (176) placed nearby a filming tank (178). The computing device (174) can be a smartphone, tablet or computer. A crew member (180) and/or talent (182) wearing a remote transceiver (184) in the tank communicates over a wireless link (58) through the film system communication module. Additional crew members (186) can also connect to the film system communication module (176) and communicate to any person with a transceiver (184).

Abstract: A system for monitoring and directing athletic or other physical activities is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a headset worn by an athlete includes one or more sensors, a microprocessor, a non-volatile memory and a communication link. The athlete's headset receives and transmits signals to a coach while the athlete is performing an activity. In this embodiment, the present invention provides coordinated audio streams to the athlete during his/her activity and training.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and directing athletic or other physical activities is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a headset worn by an athlete includes one or more sensors, a microprocessor, a non-volatile memory and a communication link. The athlete's headset receives and transmits signals to a coach while the athlete is performing an activity. In this embodiment, the present invention provides coordinated audio streams to the athlete during his/her activity and training. In one implementation, the system coordinates audio for entertainment (such as music), audio expression of real-time performance information (such as count of laps, heart rate, etc.), optional pre-planned activity instructions and interrupt audio such as a coach's advice/instruction, or cell phone messages. In this implementation, the system records the output of the performance sensors for later analysis and allows for real-time display of the data for the coach.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a Remote Control App for Smart Phones are disclosed. One embodiment of the present invention is a software application or “App” which may be downloaded to a conventional smart phone (12). Once downloaded to the smart phone (12) and to a remote computer, network or other information appliance (14), the smart phone (12) may be used to operate and/or control the remote computer, network or other information appliance.
