Patent ID: 7470167

Claim:
A monitor-entertainment system for enabling at least one user to selectively monitor and entertain a subject, the monitor-entertainment system comprising, in combination: an entertainment system, the entertainment system comprising a substantially planar screen assembly, signal-delivering circuitry, signal-inputting means, and output-positioning means, the screen assembly comprising a centralized view screen and a peripheral screen border, the output positioning means for selectively positioning the screen assembly intermediate the signal-inputting means and a target subject, the signal-delivering circuitry electrically communicating the screen assembly with the signal-inputting means, the signal-inputting means for enabling at least one user to selectively output entertaining stimuli upon the screen assembly via the signal-delivering circuitry, the view screen for displaying screen-based visual stimuli, the peripheral screen border comprising a plurality of colored geometric shapes and at least one energy-passing, geometrically-shaped aperture, and a surveillance system, the surveillance system comprising a camera assembly, data-transmitting circuitry, and data-outputting means, the data-transmitting circuitry electrically communicating the camera assembly with the data-outputting means, the camera assembly comprising a lens light filter, the lens light filter being spatially located adjacent the energy-passing, geometrically-shaped aperture, the lens light filter comprising select coloration, the lens light filter thus forming a color-camouflaged, hidden-camera display, the colored shapes comprising the color-camouflaged, hidden-camera display, the monitor-entertainment system thus enabling at least one user to selectively monitor and entertain the subject.
