`
`ABSTRACT
`
`A wireless digital audio system includes a portable audio source with a digital
`
`audio transmitter operatively coupled thereto and an audio receiver operatively coupled
`
`to a headphone set. The audio receiver is configured for digital wireless communication
`
`with the audio transmitter. The digital audio receiver utilizes fuzzy logic to optimize
`
`digital signal processing. Each of the digital audio transmitter and receiver is configured
`
`for code division multiple access (CDMA) communication. The wireless digital audio
`
`system allows private audio enjoyment without interference from other users of
`
`independent wireless digital transmitters and receivers sharing the same space.

`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0001] This invention relates to audio player devices and more particularly to systems
`
`that include headphone listening devices. The new audio system uses an existing
`
`headphone jack (i.e., this is the standard analog headphone jack that connects to wired
`
`headphones) of a music audio player (i.e., portable CD player, portable cassette player,
`
`portable A.M./F.M. radio, laptop/desktop computer, portable MP3 player , and the like)
`
`to connect a battery powered transmitter for wireless transmission of a signal to a set of
`
`battery powered receiving headphones.
`
`[0002] Use of audio headphones with audio player devices such as portable CD players,
`
`portable cassette players, portable A.M./F .M. radios, laptop/desktop computers, portable
`
`MP3 players and the like have been in use for many years. These systems incorporate an
`
`audio source having an analog headphone jack to which headphones may be connected
`
`by wire.
`
`[0003] There are also known wireless headphones that may receive A.M. and F.M. radio
`
`transmissions. However, they do not allow use of a simple plug in (i.e., plug in to the
`
`1

`Atty. Docket No.: 1028.7
`
`existing analog audio headphone jack) battery powered transmitter for connection to any
`
`music audio player device jack, such as the above mentioned music audio player devices,
`
`for coded wireless transmission and reception by headphones of audio music for private
`
`listening without interference where multiple users occupying the same space are
`
`operating wireless transmission devices. Existing audio systems make use of electrical
`
`wire connections between the audio source and the headphones to accomplish private
`
`listening to multiple users.
`
`[0004] The
