Abstract

An audio system includes an audio enabled device, a transmitter and at least one receiver. The audio enabled device has a school and office product and an amplifier integrated with the school and office product. The audio enabled device is configured such that when the amplifier receives an electronic audio signal the amplifier and the school and office product cooperate to provide an audible audio output. The transmitter is connectable to the amplifier and configured to wirelessly transmit the electronic audio signal. Each receiver is connectable to the input port of an amplifier, and each such receiver is configured to receive the electronic audio signal transmitted by the transmitter.

Claims (14)

1 . An audio system comprising:

an audio enabled device including a school and office product and an amplifier integrated with the school and office product, wherein the audio enabled device is configured such that when the amplifier receives an electronic audio signal the amplifier and the school and office product cooperate to provide an audible audio output;

a transmitter connectable to the amplifier and configured to wirelessly transmit the electronic audio signal; and

at least one receiver connectable to the input port of an amplifier, wherein the receiver is configured to receive the electronic audio signal transmitted by the transmitter.

2 . The audio system of claim 1 wherein the receiver is connectable to an auxiliary audio-enabled school and office product such that the electronic audio signal is convertible into an audible audio signal by the auxiliary audio-enabled school and office product.

3 . The audio system of claim 1 wherein the receiver connected to an auxiliary audio-enabled school and office product such that the electronic audio signal is converted into an audible audio signal by the auxiliary audio-enabled school and office product.

4 . The audio system of claim 1 wherein the school and office product is at least one of a folder, binder, notebook, notepad, portfolio, desk case, desk pad, planner, address book, date book, calendar, storage case, folder, pencil case, backpack, pad holder, file holder, or pocket having a panel which is operable as a speaker or a part thereof in conjunction with the amplifier.

5 . The audio system of claim 1 wherein said transmitter is part of a transceiver which can wirelessly transmit and receive signals.

6 . A method for using an audio system comprising:

accessing an audio enabled device including a school and office product and an amplifier integrated with the school and office product;

providing an electronic audio signal to said audio enabled device such that the amplifier and the school and office product cooperate to provide an audible audio signal; and

connecting a transmitter to the amplifier such that said transmitter wirelessly transmits the electronic audio signal to at least one receiver connectable to the input port of an amplifier.

7 . The method of claim 6 further comprising the steps of accessing an auxiliary audio enabled school and office product including a school and office product and an amplifier integrated with the school and office product, and wherein said receiver is connected to said auxiliary audio enabled school and office product such that the auxiliary audio enabled school and office product provides an audible audio output based upon said electronic audio signal.

8 . The method of claim 6 wherein the school and office product is at least one of a folder, binder, notebook, notepad, portfolio, desk case, desk pad, planner, address book, date book, calendar, storage case, folder, pencil case, backpack, pad holder, or pocket having a panel which is operable as a speaker or a part thereof in conjunction with the amplifier.
