Abstract

A system for visually indicating receipt of a radio communication directed to a user having an associated unique identification code. The system includes a radio transponder having an audio output, means for obtaining and storing the unique identification code; a speech recognition circuit operably connected to the radio transponder audio output and the stored identification code; and a visual indicator operably connected to an output of the speech recognition circuit, such that when the stored identification code and said audio input are substantially the same the visual indicator is driven to activation. A method is similarly disclosed.

Claims (8)

1. A system for visually indicating receipt of a radio communication directed to a user having an associated unique identification code, said system comprising:

a radio transponder having an audio output;

means for obtaining and storing said user associated unique identification code;

a speech recognition circuit operably connected to said audio output and to said storing means; and

a visual indicator operably connected to an output of said speech recognition circuit, such that when a stored audio and said audio output are substantially the same said visual indicator is driven to activation,

wherein said means for obtaining and storing said user associated unique identification code includes an audio input device operably associated with said speech recognition circuit,

wherein said audio input device is operably connected to said speech recognition circuit, and

wherein said speech recognition circuit continues to drive said visual indicator until said audio input and said stored audio are substantially the same whereby said visual indicator remains active until said user speaks said associated unique identification code.
