`A device for remotely displaying information from a moni-
`tor of a main computer and for remotely and fully control-
`ling the main computer. The device of the present invention
`includes a remote A/V display device and a remote input
`platform. The remote input platform] has a radio transmitter
`and the remote A/V display device has a radio receiver for
`communicating with the main computer, which is in com-
`munication With a corresponding radio transmitter and a
`corresponding radio receiver. The main computer sends
`audio and video signals through the radio transmitter for
`displaying information, preferably in the form of a GUI
`(graphical user interface), on the remote A/V display device.
`Preferably, the information also includes streaming video
`and/or graphics, as well as screaming sound. Similarly, the
`main computer receives input
`instructions by the radio
`receiver from the user through the remote input platform.
`Only the main computer has a CPU, although either or both
`of the remote A/V display device and the remote input
`platform may have a microprocessor or other processor.
`Thus,
`the portions of the computer with Which the user
`directly interacts,
`the A/V display device and the input
`platform, can be remote devices, potentially physically
`separated from the main portion of the main computer
`(including the CPU).

`
`DEVICE FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF A
`COMPUTER BY RADIO
`
`FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE
`INVENTION
`
`invention relates to a non—network
`[0001] The present
`device for direct remote control of a main computer, and in
`particular,
`to a system in which the non-network device
`features a remote monitor and speakers which directly
`display the visual and audio display of the main computer
`and in which the device features a remote input platform for
`sending instructions directly to the main computer.
`
`[0002] Computers are becoming more popular as home
`entertainment devices and for the organization and display
`of information for the consumer, In addition, to the functions
`of earlier computers, computers today can play music stored
`in a variety of formats, including files stored in the MP3
`format on a CD, on [magnetic storage medium or on the DVD
`storage medium, as well as displaying video streams and
`enabling “chats” to take place through the Internet.
`In
`addition, consumers can now perform a variety of tasks
`“on—line" through the computer, such as order groceries
`from the local supermarket, which are then delivered to the
`house of the consumer. These applications have the advan—
`tage of being more efficient and of saving the consumer time.
`
`
`
`[0003] The computer itself has been su iciently adapted
`for the household environment and for the new multi-media
`tasks, except for portability. The typical household computer
`is a “desktop" computer which is not very portable. How—
`ever, certain applications such as playing and managing a
`musical database or otherwise interacting with the computer
`from a remote location would be more efficient
`if the
`computer could easily be moved from room to room. Thus,
`desktop computers are not sufficiently portable for such
`tasks.
`
`[0004] A more useful solution would enable the consumer
`to view the display of the monitor of the computer and to
`interact with the computer anywhere in the house, as a
`remote application. The entire computer would not need to
`be moved about from room to room, but only those portions
`which are required for controlling the computer and for
`displaying information on the monitor Unfortunately, those
`remote computing solutions which are available only enable
`partial control, and do not permit portions of the computer
`to be operated in a fully remote and independent fashion,
`while still remaining tied to the CPU of the computer but
`without an additional network connection.
`
`[0005] Therefore, there is an unmet need for, and it would
`be highly useful to have, a device for remote display of
`information on a monitor and for remotely controlling a
`computer, as though the user was in physical proximity to
`computer.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0006] The present invention is of a device for remotely
`displaying the audiovisual information of a main computer
`and for remotely and fully controlling the functions of the
`main computer. The device of the present invention includes
`a remote A/V (audiovisual) display device and a remote
`input platform. The remote input platform has a radio
`transmitter and the remote A/V display device has a radio
`
`receiver for communicating with the main computer, which
`is in communication with the Corresponding radio transmit-
`ter and radio receiver. The main computer sends audiovideo
`signals through the radio transmitter for displaying infor-
`mation, preferably in the film of a GUI (graphical user
`interface), on the remote A/V display device. Preferably, the
`information also includes streaming Video and/or graphics.
`Similarly the main computer receives input instructions by
`the radio receiver from the user through the remote input
`platform. Only the main computer has a CPU, although
`either or both of the remote A/V display device and the
`remote input platform may have a microprocessor or other
`processor. Thus, the portions of the computer with which the
`user directly interacts,
`the display device and the input
`platform, can be remote devices, potentially physically
`separated from the main portion of the main computer
`(including the CPU).
`[0007] According to the present invention, there is pro—
`vided a remote display device for remote interaction by a
`user with a main computer, the main computer being in
`communication with a [main transmitter and a main receiver,
`the main computer featuring a local video card and the main
`computer featuring a local input port for receiving input
`instructions, the device comprising: (a) a remote display
`device for receiving display signals directly from the local
`video card through the main transmitter and for displaying
`a display to the user,
`the display being at least a Visual
`display,
`the remote display device featuring a
`remote
`receiver for receiving the display signals, and (b) a remote
`input platform for receiving input data from the user and for
`transmitting the input data directly to the local input port of
`the mum computer through the main receiver, the remote
`input platform featuring a remote transmitter for transmit-
`ting the input data to the main receiver; such that the device
`lacks a CPU (central processing unit) and such that only the
`main computer has the CPU.
`
`[0008] According to another embodiment of the present
`invention, there is provided a system for remote interaction
`with a user, comprising (a) a main computer,
`the main
`computer featuring a CPU, the main computer comprising:
`(i) a main radio transmitter for transmitting radiowaves and
`a mail, receiver for receiving radiowaves; (ii) a plurality of
`Video cards, including at least a first Video card being locally
`connectable: and (iii) an operating system capable of con-
`trolling the plurality of video cards substantially simulta—
`neously; (b) a remote display device for receiving display
`signals from a second of the plurality of video cards through
`the main transmitter of the main computer and for displaying
`a visual display to the user,
`the remote display device
`featuring a remote radiowave receiver for receiving the
`display signals, the remote display device lacking a CPU;
`and (c) a remote input platform for receiving input data from
`the user and for transmitting the input data to the main
`computer the remote input platform featuring a remote
`radiowave transmitter for transmitting the input data,
`the
`remote input platform lacking a CPU.

`
`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
`
`[0015] The invention is herein described, by way of
`example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings,
`wherein.
`
`[0016] FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram illustrating an
`exemplary device and system according to the present
`invention.
`
`DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
`EMBODIMENTS
`
`[0017] The present invention is of a device for remotely
`displaying information from a monitor of a main computer
`and for remotely and fully controlling the main computer.
`The device of the present invention includes a remote A/V
`display device and a remote input platform. The remote
`input platform has a radio transmitter and the remote A/V
`display device has a radio receiver for communicating with
`the main computer, which is in communication with a
`corresponding radio transmitter and a corresponding radio
`receiver. The main computer sends audio and video signals
`through the radio transmitter for displaying information,
`
`preferably in the form of a GUI(graphical user interface), on
`the remote A/V display device.
`[0018] Preferably, the information also includes streaming
`video and/or graphics, as well as streaming sound.
`input
`[0019] Similarly,
`the main computer
`receives
`instructions by the radio receiver from the user through the
`remote input platform. Only the main computer has a CPU,
`although either or both of the remote A/V display device and
`the remote input platform may have a microprocessor or
`orther processor. Thus, the portions of the computer with
`which the user directly interacts, the A/V display device and
`the input platform, can be remote devices, potentially physi-
`cally separated from the main portion of the main computer
`(including the CPU).
`[0020] The principles and operation of the device accord-
`ing to the present invention may be better understood with
`reference to the drawings and the accompanying description.
`[0021] Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a sche—
`matic block diagram illustrating an exemplary device and
`system according to the present invention. A system 10
`includes a remote interaction device 12 for interaction with
`the user of a main computer 14. Remote interaction device
`12 is preferably able to communicate with main computer 14
`through radiowave communication. Preferably,
`remote
`interaction device 12 receives power through a battery
`which is optionally chargeable at a charger/base 16.
`[0022] Remote interaction device 12 features a remote
`A/V display device 18 display device 18 could optionally
`display only audio or only visual data. Hereinafter, the term
`“display” can include both a visual and an audio display.
`Remote A/V display device 18 preferably includes an ISM
`band receiver 20 for receiving communication from main
`computer 14. More preferably, all of the radiowave receivers
`and transmitters of the present invention operate as low—
`frequeney radiowaves, most preferably in the range of from
`about 2.4 GHZ to about 5.8 GHZ, as this range does not
`require a special license in the United States of America In
`addition, remote A/V display device 18 preferably also
`features a video expander 22 for expanding the compressed
`video signals for display on a screen 24. The type of video
`expander 22 and the type of screen 24 would depend upon
`the type of remote A/V display device 18 and could easily
`be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art. Examples of
`screen 24 include but are not limited to any type of flat
`screen including a plasma screen or an LCD (liquid crystal
`display), a CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor, a computer
`monitor or any other type of video display monitor. Thus,
`remote A/V display device 18 enables visual data such as a
`GUI (graphical user interface), other graphics or images, or
`a video stream, to be displayed to the user.
`[0023] Optionally and preferably, retnote A/V display
`device 18 includes an audio amplifier 26 and at least one, but
`preferably two speakers 28 as shown Also optionally and
`preferably, remote A/V display device 18 features earphones
`30. The audio data is received by ISM band receiver 20
`which is also connected to audio amplifier 26. Audio ampli-
`fier 26 then renders the audio data into an audio stream for
`an audio display to the user Thus, these preferred compo-
`nents enable remote AN display device 18 to play music or
`to otherwise render an audio stream audible to the user
`
`In addition, remote interaction device 12 also fea-
`[0024]
`tures a remote input platform 32. Remote input platform 32

`
`enables information and instructions to be entered by the
`user, Remote input platform 32 includes an ISM band SP2
`transmitter 34 [or transmitting radiow aves to main computer
`14 in order to communicate the information and instructions
`from the user. As shown, remote input platform 32 option—
`ally and preferably includes a number of different input
`components for accepting input from the user. For example,
`remote input platform 32 optionally and preferably includes
`a keyboard 36 for entering textual or other character—based
`input.
`
`[0025] Remote input platform 32 optionally and prefer-
`ably also includes a pointing device 38 such as a mouse,
`trackball, touchpad, touch—sensitive screen or other pointing
`device, in order for the user to be able to select a command
`or other input from the GUI preferably displayed by remote
`A/V display device 18. Keyboard 36 and pointing device 38
`are particularly preferred because these two input devices
`are typical of most home computers and as such are familiar
`to the user. Thus, remote A/V display device 18 and remote
`input platform 32 could be one physical unit or else two
`physically separated components.
`
`In addition, remote input platform 32 also option-
`[0026]
`ally and preferably includes a joystick port 40, for example
`for
`receiving a joystick for playing electronic games.
`Remote input platform 32 also optionally and preferably
`includes a microphone 42 for receiving voice-based instruc-
`tions or for recording the voice of the user on main computer
`14, for example.
`
`[0027] Thus, remote input platform 32 enables the user to
`input data, such as information and commands, which are
`then transmitted by radiowaves through ISM band SP2
`transmitter 34 to main computer 14. Main computer 14 then
`sends signals for Video display to remote A/V display device
`18, which receives these signals through ISM band receiver
`20. The components of main computer 14 which enable
`main computer 14 to both control the display on remote A/V
`display device 18 and to respond to data input
`through
`remote input platform 32 are as follows.
`
`[0028] Main computer 14 preferably includes a Video
`display card 44 which is connected to an AA/ compressor 46
`for compressing the Video data, both of which are preferably
`located within a main computer box 13. Main computer 14
`sends display instructions for displaying Video information
`on remote A/V display device 18 to Video display card 44.
`Video display card 44 then renders the instructions as video
`display signals suitable for a monitor such as screen 24. The
`signals are then compressed by A/V compressor 46. After
`compression, the signals are sent as radiowaves by an ISM
`band SP2 transmitter 48. The transmitted radiowaves are
`then received by ISM band receiver 20, expanded by Video
`expander 22 and displayed by screen 24 as previously
`described.
`
`[0029] Optionally, main computer 14 could include a
`sound card 50 for receiving display signals for “displaying”
`(making audible) audio information on remote A/V display
`device 18. Sound card 50 would then render these display
`signals into audio signals suitable for audio amplifier 26.
`The audio signals would then be passed to ISM band SP2
`transmitter 48 through a “line out” port 52 on sound card 50.
`
`receiving input from a keyboard such as remote keyboard
`36; and a pointing device port 58 for receiving input from a
`pointing device such as pointing device 38. In addition,
`sound card 50 preferably includes a “line-in” or microphone
`port 59. All of these ports receive input through an ISM band
`receiver 60 as shown, which could be located in charger/
`base 16 or alternatively could be located at main computer
`14.
`
`[0031] Optionally and preferably, all of these ports also
`receive input from peripheral devices directly physically
`attached to main computer 14, Therefore, main computer 14
`preferably also includes a keyboard 62, a monitor 64, a
`joystick 66, a pointing device 68 and a microphone 70 which
`are local peripheral devices. Thus,
`these local peripheral
`devices enable the user to operate main computer 14 locally.
`
`In order for main computer 14 to be able to receive
`[0032]
`input data from both sets of peripheral devices,
`those
`attached locally such as keyboard 62, and those in remote
`communication such as remote input platform 32, preferably
`charger/base 16 also features a switching box 72. Preferably,
`ISM band receiver 60 is also located at charger/base 16.
`Switching box 72 receives the input data from ISM band
`receiver 60, and then sends this data to the correct port on
`main computer 14, such as keyboard port 56, for example.
`Conversely, when input data is being received from a local
`peripheral device, such as keyboard 62 for example, switch-
`ing box 72 then sends this input data to the correct port on
`main computer 14, in this case keyboard port 56. Thus,
`switching box 72 enables both local and remote peripherals
`to sequentially access main computer 14.
`
`In addition, in order for two different monitors to
`[0033]
`be controlled by main computer 14, including both local
`monitor 64 and remote A/V display device 18, preferably
`main computer 14 also features a second Video display card
`74. Second Video display card 74 receives instructions from
`main computer 14 for displayng video information, such as
`a GUI, on local monitor 64. However, in order to accom—
`modate this preferred embodiment of the present invention,
`main computer 14 must be operated by an operating system
`which is capable of controlling two monitors by controlling
`two Video cards. An example of such an operating system is
`Windows 98““.
`
`[0034] As its name implies, charger/base 16 also prefer-
`ably features components for supplying power to remote
`A/V display device 18 and to remote input platform 32.
`Preferably, power is supplied to both remote A/V display
`device 18 and remote input platform 32 through a recharge-
`able batter 76, although each of remote Afl/ display device
`18 and remote input platform 32 could have a separate
`battery power source. Charger/base 16 therefore preferably
`recharges rechargeable battery 76, through an AC/DC power
`supply 78 and a remote DC charging socket 80. ACflDC
`power supply 78 receives power from an AC supply 15.
`Optionally and preferably, a remote charging plug (not
`shown) is located at remote interaction device 12 for con—
`necting to remote DC charging socket 80 or to an external
`DC source (not shown). Thus, when battery—operated,
`remote A/V display device 18 and remote input platform 32
`are preferably completely portable,
`such that neither
`requires a direct Wire connection to an electrical socket.
`
`[0030] Main computer 14 also includes a joystick port 54
`for receiving input from a joystick; a keyboard port 56 for
`
`[0035] Therefore, the device of the present invention pro-
`vides complete interactivity with a main computer at
