SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING NON-AUDIO MESSAGES WITH A PORTABLE DEVICE

This invention relates to a system and method for providing non-audio output of a message on a portable device. The system performs in the following manner. The system receives a message in the portable device. The contents of the message are read and parse into a plurality of parsed components. The system then searches a library stored in a memory of the portable device for each of the plurality of parsed components. The system further reads play data from the library for each of the plurality of parsed components found in the library. The play data are added for each of the plurality of parsed components to a play data set. The play data set are then stored in a memory readable by an output device. The system then transmits a signal to an output device controller to use the play data set to provide an output of the message using the output device.
