  • Patent number: 6008777
    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.
