Personal space thin panel media entertainment center system

Abstract

A personal space thin panel media entertainment center system is disclosed with a particular architecture that allows a thin panel TV with headphones, DVD/CD player, clock, radio, and cellular phone with a digital video camera attached thereon to operate and concentrate entertainment in the 5 feet radius of a user i.e. in the personal space when arms are extended in a bed, chair, wheelchair, scooter, or any kind of vehicle with controls at arms length reach at the fingertips. Intended user is any person-age-gender, bed-bound and wheelchair-bound and in particularly a wounded rehabilitating and disabled military war veteran. The present systems key advantages provides entertainment and convenience at arms length reach at the fingertips which eliminates both the requirements to walk and thin panel TV accessibility handicaps for disabled persons. The present systems key objectives are to fill the void in the personal space.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to a personal space thin panel media entertainment center system with a TV, DVD/CD player, headphones, clock, radio, and cellular phone with digital video camera attached thereon that is designed in scope to provide entertainment and comfort to a wounded, rehabilitating, and disabled military war veteran and family for personal space convenience in the 5 feet radius of a user when arms are extended in a chair, bed, wheelchair, scooter, or any kind of vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Thin panel audio and video systems are rapidly increasing in consumer popularity. Currently, thin panel TV systems have a basic design and are supported on a stand at a distance which creates an accessibility void, handicaps, inconveniences, and places a user especially a disabled bed-bound and wheelchair-scooter-bound user at a disadvantage. A few key issues and disadvantages of the existing thin panel TV systems that impacts a user are: hands-on access at arms length reach is limited due to the physical set-up and location in a room, engineering designs are restrictive and insensitive to a disabled user mobility requirements while bedbound in sustaining freedom with independence and the existing automobile thin panel TV systems is a possible highway safety hazard. The present media entertainment systems are assistive in resolving these disadvantages and key issues and satisfy and exceed all requirements.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the above, this invention is presented to accomplish one or more objectives and advantages, as follows:

It is an objective of this invention to provide a user with a personal thin panel TV system with headphones, DVD/CD player, clock, radio, and cellular phone with digital video camera attached thereon that operates and concentrates entertainment in the 5 feet radius of the user i.e. in the personal space when arms are extended, having a swivel (flexible) gooseneck media entertainment center that can be used in a chair, bed, wheelchair, scooter, or any kind of vehicle.

It is a further objective of this invention to provide a disabled user with a thin panel media entertainment center system for allowing a degree of enjoyment of life without being further handicapped, thus access is easy and requires no walking. The present invention eliminates both the need to walk and accessibility handicaps by providing controls within fingertips reach at arms length distance away especially for a disabled military veteran.

It is a further objective of this invention to provide a user with a swivel (flexible) gooseneck shaft for allowing multiple viewing angle adjustments.

It is yet a further objective of this invention to provide a user with a media entertainment center system with greater utility and better options, thus it is an objective to provide a disabled user with inclusion. The intended user is of any age-gender, disabled or non-disabled person.
