ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for remotely interacting with a PC. In one embodiment, a local PC interface unit is coupled to a PC located at a local site. The local PC interface unit is coupled to receive a video output signal and an audio output signal from the PC. The local input devices, such as the keyboard and the mouse, as well as the peripherals such as the monitor and speakers of the PC are also coupled to the local PC interface unit. The local PC interface unit converts the video and audio signals generated by the PC into a format suitable for playback on an ordinary home TV. The local PC device then transmits the converted audio/video signal via an RF wireless link to a TV interface unit, which is coupled to a TV for playback at a remote site. The TV interface unit also generates a separate audio signal suitable for being listened to from an ordinary home stereo. Remote input devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, trackball, joystick, or a game controller are coupled to a remote input device interface unit which may be located in the same room as the TV and home stereo. The remote input device interface unit receives remote input signals from each one of the remote input devices and multiplexes the remote input signals into a single remote input data stream. The remote input data stream is transmitted back to the local PC interface unit through a wireless link to enable interaction with the PC from the remote location.
