why not put a base station on a usb drive or cd/dvd that can turn a device into a communications base station with assorted features. Orgins: I saw someone with an ear piece for there cell phone and thought how they should be able to listen to music. Ya, thats been and is being done however, in the context of open soft ware why not create a program with the following features.(stream of conciousness not ment to be gramatical) So I thought lets send music to the ear piece, then provide a program that can be interupted by calls but allows a person to sellect or run from a gui app. an album, music list, streaming talk show or radio program from the web or if your cell phone or personel electronic device recieves RF and so on. So now I have an application that I can customize using a GUI, so how about placing an other box like the capchas below these comment boxes that a lable (or left empty) can be placed and highlighted, once highlighted a tool bar menue item OPS is click that allows a person to use funtional components to program features (I wrote a whole list of these type of linkable features in '92-'93 yet they are still only being marginaly applied other than in previous and subsequent development platforms-the idea is personalized costomization) once the item is highlighted it can be linked to and from processes that apply programing, filters, pipes, flags, semiphores, (node and socket apps.) So a music file is highlighted the ops tools applies it to an output file that can be simmilarly linked to your broadcast destination lable that may have a frount end code translation to stream content to the device linked to the identification lable to broad cast from the program app. the music file that was designated to an ear piece, walkie talky, usb local low power media / router, device. Once configured OPS tools that allow many to one and one to many and the other perms. would allow a person to simply create deferent files or libraries and place them among a list of out put destinations rather that building all the nessesary interconnections each time. Now you have a method to select source feeds and costomize end point targets. With these features a yatch crew, local race pit crew, catering service, an assortment of applications to base station communications. A football team and coaching can have ear pieces for intercom services. The OPS tools could have apps. for recieving data for two way configurable comunications. These features are seen as pit crews and team news broadcasting intercomunicate, the idea is that with open software a highly costomizable and less nich market driven apps. allowing a greater variaty of applications. Once a person can plug a usb or install a live cd/dvd into a laptop, cell phone or PC- list a device and identifie a source wether skyp or radio or TV or internet or whatever. You can use this for a band. If broadcasting were allowed up to a half mile motorcycle clubs could have group communications while on the road. This intercom and local area broadcasting could be used by teachers on yard duty, by catering companies or events managers. It also becomes the glue for a variety of progam inhancing qualities to augment other applications. Allowing intuitive programing and system design of mfg. processes using phyical machine operation and sensor feed back and the two way comunication and connecting these inputs to programs to creat mfg. systems. This suggests a facilitates research in robotics and managment systems. With these features a city could view trafic in real time and have other systems modeling alternate peramiters to see if improvement in effeciency could be made on the system. Using voice recongnition and text reading as interfacable packages linked with the OPS tool pipes or sockets, measaging services could be provided and command instructions to programs could be posible. The voice recognition would allow a group of people in an intercom mode identify a person and send a one to one personel mesage over the sistem or configure different sets of people given a lable to create on the fly real time dirctory and communication routable features. Using the other box type input an expandable list could be created as the other box is used another one appears below it for a second linkable feature and as many as practical. A new feature should allow an other of an intierly different group to be made such as mite identify different types of music. Rock, country, mariachi, or latin jazz!? By allowing a GUI that lists multiple sources and targets an office worker could sellect from a variety of stations as demonstrated on airline flights that have radio or movie interfaces on the arm rest.
