A personal portable integrator is used to integrate the services of an
arbitrary audio delivery device such as an MP3, CD, DVD, radio, or other
media player, with the services of an arbitrary two-way communication
device such as a mobile phone, or a two-way radio such as a walkie
talkie, citizen band radio (e.g. CB), HAM radio, marine or aviation
radio, and the like. The portable integrator receives and provides input
and output signals from both the audio delivery device and the two-way
communication device, thereby enabling a user to listen to music or other
audio material and receive and place phone calls on a mobile phone
simultaneously. The portable integrator provides these services by
switching between the audio and communication devices, mixing signals
received therefrom, and optionally enabling a user to reduce the volume
or mute the signals as desired.
