Abstract:
1. A display system for transmitting and receiving picture or video images between one or more wireless remote devices and a host display communicating on an Ultra-WideBand (UWB) wireless network using a UWB protocol, the display system comprising: the host display unit comprising: the one or more wireless remote devices comprising: a digital camera unit for capturing a picture or video image; a local display for presentation of a picture or video image; a UWB child image transceiver, comprising: wherein the one or more wireless remote devices operable to wirelessly transmit captured picture or video images to the host display unit and to selectively receive picture or video images from the host display unit based on generating and transmitting the image selection request to the host display unit; wherein one or more of the wireless remote devices capture and transmit a picture or video image to the host display unit, and wherein upon receipt of an image selection request, the host display unit transmits the displayed image to the UWB wireless network, the image subsequently received by the requesting wireless remote device on the UWB wireless network; wherein in the remote device, the digital camera unit, the local display, and the picture processing unit are operably coupled to the memory, the picture processing unit is operably coupled to the UWB MAC unit, the UWB MAC unit is coupled to the UWB PHY unit, which is also connected to the antenna, wherein in the host display unit, the large display, and the picture processing unit is operably coupled to the memory, the picture processing unit is operably coupled to the UWB MAC unit, the UWB MAC unit is coupled to the UWB PHY unit, which is also connected to the antenna, wherein in one of the remote devices, image data from the digital camera unit is stored in the memory for image presentation on the local display and is selectively transmitted to the host display unit by passing image data from the memory to the picture processing unit for image data decompression, which is sent to the UWB MAC unit for synchronization in accordance with the UWB protocol and to the UWB PHY unit for UWB baseband addition and RF modulation of the UWB signal and to the antenna for transmission to the host display unit; and wherein in the host display unit, image data from the digital camera unit is received in the UWB image transceiver over the RF modulated baseband of the UWB signal via the antenna of the UWB PHY unit into the UWB MAC unit for synchronization in accordance with the UWB protocol for communication to the picture processing unit for image data compression and storage in the memory for image presentation on the large display of the host display unit, the UWB image transceiver of the host display unit operable to selectively retransmit the captured picture or video images to the remote devices based on generating and transmitting an image selection request to the host display unit.
