ABSTRACT:
A television and computer integration system is provided that includes a coupler module electrically coupled to a remote keyboard and integral mouse. Coupler module is also electrically coupled to both a personal computer and to a conventional television. The personal computer has a conventional user interface which includes a keyboard, monitor and mouse. The coupler module enables the combination of the remote keyboard and mouse, and television to serve as a secondary user interface for the personal computer which may be operated in parallel with the primary user interface. A user may thus access and take advantage of substantially all of the capabilities of the personal computer (including computer games and Internet access) from the user's television, in the comfort of the user's living room or television room. The present invention thus advantageously provides efficient and inexpensive integration of television capabilities with personal computing, including Internet access.
