Smart overview of the Invention

A wireless television architecture comprises a base station and one or more display devices, enabling the transmission of television content without physical connections. The base station wirelessly sends content to each display device, which can be placed anywhere within its range. Each display device is equipped with insertable batteries, eliminating the need for power cords or data cables. This innovation allows for greater flexibility in the placement and mobility of display devices.

Display Device Features

Each wireless display device includes a screen for presenting various content types, a wireless receiver for receiving data, and multiple battery bays for extended power supply. Additionally, these devices feature attachment mechanisms that allow them to be mounted on vertical surfaces easily. This design facilitates seamless relocation and setup of the displays without traditional mounting hassles or reliance on electrical outlets. The screens can vary in size and are designed to maximize display area.

Base Station Functionality

The base station acts as a central hub, receiving digital content from various sources such as cable networks and streaming services. It communicates wirelessly with the display devices, managing data transmission and device instructions. Advanced features include a display engine to render content attractively on screens and communication capabilities with multiple displays through a mesh network setup. This setup enhances modularity, allowing displays to work together or independently based on user preferences.

Alternative Display System Configuration

An alternative configuration allows for display systems to operate without a base station, where each display independently fetches content from a wireless source. If a base station is later introduced, displays can seamlessly connect and receive additional content and instructions. The discovery process between devices utilizes beacon notifications to establish connections efficiently. This flexibility ensures that users can adapt their viewing experience according to their needs and available technology.
