1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an indoor wireless television program receiver for a television, more specifically to an indoor wireless television program receiver that is connected to a television to receive VHF or UHF etc., wireless television programs and provides the wireless television programs to a television. The present invention has multiple functions such a clock and a thermometer.
2. Description of Related Art
Indoor antennas receive broadcast radio frequency audio and video (AV) signals in different bands and usually output the AV signals to televisions. However, televisions also can connect to a television cable to obtain more diverse AV signals to display more TV programs.
With reference to the
The present invention provides a multiple function indoor wireless television program receiver for a television to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problem.
An objective of the present invention is to provide an indoor wireless television program receiver for a television that has multiple functions and provides useful information such as time and temperature in addition to receiving broadcast television signals.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The present invention provides a multiple function indoor wireless television program receiver for a television that provides useful functions in addition to a basic broadcast signal reception capability.
With reference to
The antenna (12), the temperature sensor (13) and the LCD (14) are electronically connected to the controlling circuit (not shown). The temperature sensor (13) senses temperature and outputs an electronic signal to the controlling circuit. The LCD (14) displays information that is output from the controlling circuit.
With reference to
The microprocessor (21) has an internal clock (not shown) and outputs the time through the LCD driver (23) to the LCD (14) where the time is displayed. The temperature sensor (13) generates an analog temperature signal based on the sensed temperature and sends the analog temperature signal to the A/D converter (22). The A/D converter (22) converts the analog temperature signal to digital temperature signal and inputs the digital temperature signal to the microprocessor (21) through an input terminal. The microprocessor (21) generates and outputs a converted temperature signal based on the digital temperature signal through the LCD driver (23) to the LCD (14).
With reference to
The indoor wireless television program receiver for a television in accordance with the present invention integrates clock and thermometer functions so the indoor antenna provides useful information such as the time and the temperature in addition to a basic antenna capability.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
