Abstract

The present invention is a prompter structuring which carries the mobile device of the speech giver and includes a body (1) with a microphone pattern on the back side and which performs the transference of the speech text to the prompter before the speech without requiring an external microphone and it is characterized by comprising at least one adapter socket (2) which provides the connection with the mobile device of the speech giver and is located on the body (1) and which is compatible with the speech giver device and at least one audio output (4) which transfers the sound of the speech giver to the audio system and is located under the body (1).

Description

A UNIVERSAL MOBILE PROMPTER STRUCTURING

Technical Field

The present invention generally relates to a prompter (an electronic prompter) structuring from which the speech giver reads the speech text in cases where a speech is given to an audience in gatherings such as meetings, presentations and public meetings.

State of the Art

Today, in public speeches with an audience, orators give their speeches by reading the speech text from an electronic device called prompter (electronic prompter). The speech text is transferred to the prompter before the speech. The speech giver only reads the speech text from the prompter and a microphone is used externally with the aim of addressing the audience.

In the state of the art, the speech giver reads the speech from the prompter and talks into a separate microphone. This results in a necessity for two separate devices for a single speech. In addition; the requirement of transferring the speech text from the device it is saved to the prompter before the speech results in loss of time and also an aggrievement of the speech giver in case a problem occurs in the data flow.

A utility model application titled “Foldable portable prompter” with application number TR2010/10269 is found in the technical research and it relates to a foldable prompter with broadcast standard and which can be easily installed by a cameraman and also can be carried easily in addition to the standard equipment which the cameraman carries; however, this application does not involve any improvement regarding the use of the microphone.

Another utility model application with application number CN202907140 is also found in the technical research and it relates to a microphone comprising a prompter, wherein the speech text is transferred from a different device to the prompter before the speech, as it is done in the current art.

In the technical research; the application with number TR2015/06824 is also found. In the application, a special prompter device is mentioned which combines a microphone and a display. Nonetheless; in the said device, the user and the supply of the device are dependent on the physical hardware and the software properties of the device.

Therefore, due to the shortcomings described above and due to the lack of existing solutions on the subject, a development in the relevant technical area is required. Aim of the Invention

The present invention aims to solve the above - mentioned shortcomings by being formed with an inspiration of the current state.

The main aim of the invention is to make performing presentations by mobile devices possible by combining the mobile devices with different sizes and properties (hardware - wise and software - wise) which are always carried by the users both as the prompter and the microphone.

An aim of the invention is to enable an expansion in the area of usage and manner of usage by different prompter implementations which operate in different platforms.

Another aim of the invention is to enable the speech text to be directly read from the mobile device of the speech giver by him / her without requiring the speech text to be transferred into another prompter.

Another aim of the invention is to enhance the oratory effect of the speech giver by enabling the audience perceive the product as a microphone and perceive the speech giver as if s/he is improvising, by the virtue of the pattern and the shape provided on the back side of the prompter.

In order to accomplish the above - mentioned aims and the advantages which shall be understood from the detailed description provided below; the present invention comprises a body which carries the mobile device of the speech giver and has a shape of a microphone, a USB adapter socket which is located on the body and is compatible with the USB (mini, micro, Type C) or Lightening adapter sockets of the other electronic device, a microphone which receives the voice of the speech giver and an audio output which transfers the voice of the speech giver to the audio system.

The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be understood more clearly through the detailed explanation written with the following figures and references to these figures, and therefore assessment should be made by considering these figures and detailed explanation.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In the herein detailed description, preferred structurings of the invention are described only for a better understanding of the subject matter, without posing any limitations.

By the said adapter socket (2); it is enabled that the mobile device or tablet of the speech giver is located between the stand of the prompter. Operation principle of the prompter of the invention

Firstly; if the USB or lightning socket is located under the device; it is inserted into the adapter socket (2) located under the body (1). The adapter socket (2) can be a USB (mini, micro, Type C) or Lightening socket which is compatible with the mobile device of the user. The connection part on the prompter can have a structuring which can be altered according to the mobile devices.

If the socket of the user's mobile device is on the side, the connection between the adapter socket (2) located on the side of the body (1) and the device of the speech giver is provided by a cable. USB socket of the device of the speech giver is inserted into the external USB adapter which is inserted. Therefore; the connection between the prompter and the device including the speech text is completed.

Socket of the audio system which will distribute the voice of the speech giver is inserted to one of the XLR Canon (3.5 mm) or JACK (6.5 mm) audio outputs (4), whichever is compatible. The microphone to transfer the voice of the speech giver is selected as the microphone of user's own device or microphone of the prompter (3). This way; the connection between the audio system, prompter and the microphone is completed.

In a preferred structuring of the invention; the device can be used as a speech tracking prompter with effective audio improvement by downloading different applications to the prompter.

In another preferred structuring of the invention; the adapter socket (2) is compatible with devices with Lightning / USB Type C / Micro USB sockets.
