Definitions
- This invention relates to hand-held television receiver (TV) remote controls, and in particular, to a TV remote control system with TV audio that includes a hand-held remote control with conventional TV and video recording device functions, and an audio receiver and speaker arrangement that permits the audio signal portion of a secondary channel to be listened to without disturbing the audio and video of a primary channel tuned on an associated TV.
- TV television receiver
- FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the hand-held remote control of the system
- the hand-held remote control 12 conventionally includes a keypad 16, an infrared transmitter 18, and associated other components and electrical circuitry 20 which enable it to be operated as a universal television remote control with standard TV and VCR functions.
- the remote control 12 further includes an antenna 22 and audio receiver circuitry 24 for wireless receipt of the audio signals transmitted by the TV audio receiver/transmitter base unit 14 (Fig. 1), and an audio speaker 26 and associated signal amplification circuitry 24 for converting the audio signals into sound.
- the audio receiver and signal amplification circuitry 24 used in the remote control 12 are of known construction and operation.
- the remote control 12 is also provided with an audio function keypad 28 and associated electrical circuitry 30 for operating the TV audio receiver/transmitter base unit via the infrared transmitter 18.
- the TV remote control system 10 of the invention advantageously allows a user to listen to the audio of a selected television channel from any location within the transmitting range of the TV audio receiver/transmitter base unit 14 using the hand-held remote control 12.
- the system 10 also allows a user to listen to the audio of a secondary television channel (or audio surf from channel to channel) via the remote control 12 and base unit 14 without disrupting the audio and video of a primary channel selected on an associated TV. Accordingly, the use of the system 10 with a television receiver containing a PIP system (not shown) brings audio to the secondary picture.
- FIG. 6 shows a TV remote control system 90 with TV audio according to a fourth embodiment of the invention wherein the remote control 12 of the first embodiment and the charging station 66 of the second and third embodiments, are combined with a PIP equipped TV 91 with two tuners 92, 93.
- this system 90 one of the two tuners 92, 93 of the TV 91 provides the same receiving function as the TV audio receiver/transmitter unit of the first embodiment, i.e., it receives wireless and cable television signals carrying UHF and VHF channels and is tunable to a particular channel via the remote control 12.
- the audio transmission function is provided by a modifying the TV 91 with an audio transmitter 94 and antenna 96 that transmits the audio portion of a selected television channel to the remote control 12.
- the TV 91 can be modified with the audio transmitter 94 in substantially the same manner as was the VCR in the second or third embodiments of the invention.
