Abstract:

A stick-on audio microchip recorder/playback product for message conveyance-, audio mail-, product promotion and self-reminder purposes. The product enables a user to record a personal (or business-oriented) message or self-reminder, and non-permanently fasten the recorder upon surfaces such as household doors, walls, mirrors; compatible (carry-able) objects such as appointment books or notebooks; or upon interiors of mailing-, packaging- or shipping vessels, in desired temporary locations where the intended recipient would be most likely to encounter it. The recorder is easily removable by the end-user, and reusable. A microchip recording/playback circuit, microphone, speaker, battery and record/playback controls, are secured in a housing. Preferably, the housing has on its underside an attached stick-on fastener, including a stack of "pressure sensitive" peel-off adhesive stickers, each having on their undersurface a medium adhesion substance. Users may non-permanently fasten the recorder in desired temporary locations, remove the recorder from same with reasonable ease, and reposition it, optionally with a fresh peel-off sticker, and/or a new recorded message.

Abstract:

An "audio mailer," including a tape recorder or other sound recording and reproducing device non-removably encased and configured as a mailer, so that a user can conveniently and confidentially send or receive voice or other sound messages through the mail. The mailer may further have a crevice space for an inserted enclosure, such as a letter, document, photograph or other indicia. A customized or commercially available small tape recorder and audiotape sound storage medium may be employed in the preferred embodiment. The audiotape may be either built-in or contained in a removable microcassette. Duplicate removable audiotape microcassettes may be employed to enable a sender to simultaneously record a copy of a mailed audio message and preserve it for future reference. In an alternate embodiment, computer microchip-based sound recording and reproducing technology and storage medium may be employed. The non-removable casing for the recording and playback device and sound storage medium is made of durable cardboard or other durable lightweight material upon which an address and return address may be placed and postage affixed.
