[0003] Electronic presentations have successfully assisted huge number of people to
showcase their ideas, and potential on the desired platforms. But individuals do experience the ill
effects of an uneasiness dream while in a rush for giving a high-stakes significant presentation..
Additionally, in such a high stake presentations, one is concerned and befuddled to carry a lot of
convenient devices like the slide changer, the markers, mic or collar mic. Also, sometimes due to
technical glitch the person lands into the confusion and fumbles due to the multiple devices in the
hands. Rather than adroitly fumbling for a solution or storming off stage you should be prepared
with strategies for staying calm and putting your audience at ease. Everything you need to control
your slideshow with confidence is in the palm of your hand.
[0004] The handling of the multiple devices during presentation is challenging for the
facilitator and also there is risk of deviating from the topic while presenting. The distractions can
further deteriorate the performance of the presenter. Various devices used during presentations
may have certain risk of technical failure due to which processing chain breaks.
[0005] A lot of conventional solutions are used to avoid the mentioned problems. Certain
implementation incorporates some devices while other devices are absent which ultimately no
longer serve the purpose of the presenter. So as to have such serenity, there is a need for such a
device which provides slide changer, marker, laser pointer & mic as a solitary item. Therefore, it
becomes easy to turn presentation into an audience-grabbing showstopper.
[0006] There is a need to overcome with the above stated prior art and the associated
problems with them by providing a solution which is multi purposeful and help to incorporate the
3
items likewise. Further the solution furnishes the remote availability of mic with the speaker, slide
changer with the projector and laser beam pointer in a single device.

light. The laser pointer can extract power from the power source and operate to emit directional
light on the display.
[00080] FIG 5 illustrates an exploded cross sectional view of the microphone of the
proposed marking device to illustrate its overall working in accordance with an embodiment of the
present disclosure.
[00081] In an illustrative embodiment, the device 100 can include a microphone (MIC) 312
attached with the device 100.The MIC 312 can be detachable, and can be clipped with user’s
clothes with the help of a hook 502. The hook 502 can aid in clipping the MIC 312 with the user’s
clothes. The MIC 312 can be placed on top (head) of the device 100The The user can give input
voice during presentation through the MIC 312, where MIC 312 can receive the user’s input voice.
The device 100 also includes a power source, where the power source can include any or a
combination of power cells, battery, power lines, inverter and generator. The power cell can be
used to supply electrical energy to the MIC 312. The MIC 312 can act as a transducer and can
convert sound signals into electrical signals. The user input voice which can be sound signals can
be converted into the electrical signals by the MIC 312. The user output voice can reach audience
by a speaker via a receiver. The receiver can be a User Serial Bus (USB) dongle but not limited to
such receiver. In an another illustrative embodiment, the detachable MIC 312 can have an
electronic circuit embedded inside the MIC 312.
[00082] FIG. 6 illustrates exemplary diagram of receiver of the proposed marking device,
in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00083] In an illustrative embodiment, the device 100 can include a receiver 602. The device
100 can include a microphone (MIC) 312, where the user’s input voice can be received by the MIC
312. The MIC 312 can be connected with a speaker via a receiver 602. The speaker can be portable
17
and can have slot for the receiver 602. The receiver 602 can be wireless. The user’s output voice
can be heard by audience with the help of the speaker. The speaker can act as a transducer to
convert electrical signals into sound signals. The user’s input voice can be electrical signals and
the user’s output voice can be sound signals. The electrical signals can be sent by the MIC 312 and
the speaker can receive the electrical signals and convert them into the sound signals which can be
heard by the audience during the presentation. In another illustrative embodiment, the wireless
receiver 602 can be a User Serial Bus (USB) dongle kit. The speaker can be portable and can have
slot for the USB dongle. The presentation can be recorded and heard by the audience according to
their convenience.
[00084] Thus, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the diagrams,
schematics, illustrations, and the like represent conceptual views or processes illustrating systems
and methods embodying this invention. The functions of the various elements shown in the figures
may be provided through the use of dedicated hardware as well as hardware capable of executing
associated software. Similarly, any switches shown in the figures are conceptual only. Their
function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic,
through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular
technique being selectable by the entity implementing this invention. Those of ordinary skill in the
art further understand that the exemplary hardware, software, processes, methods, and/or operating
systems described herein are for illustrative purposes and, thus, are not intended to be limited to
any particular named.
[00085] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it
will be clear that the invention is not limited to these embodiments only. Numerous modifications,
changes, variations, substitutions, and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art,
without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as described in the claim.
[00086] In the foregoing description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent,
however, to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, that the present
invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures
and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, to avoid obscuring the present
invention.
[00087] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is
intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other
18
contact each other)and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located
between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used
synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are
also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or
more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more
intermediary device.
[00088] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications
besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein.
The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended
claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be
interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms
“comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps
in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be
present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly
referenced.
[00089] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and
further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope
thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not
limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person
having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information
and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
