Patent ID: 8190143

Claim:
A method for wireless and cable connected communication between a television set and a mobile device, comprising steps of: receiving and processing in a receiver of a television (TV) set a mobile device transmitted first Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) modulated wireless signal and an infrared (IR) signal into a first processed OFDM signal and a processed IR signal for providing said first processed OFDM signal and said processed IR signal to an interface unit of said TV set for use of said first processed OFDM signal and said processed IR signal by a user of said television set, said received first OFDM modulated signal and said received IR signal is received from a first and a second transmitter of said mobile device, said IR signal is generated in said mobile device; receiving and processing in said TV set a cable connected, said mobile device transmitted signal, into a received cable connected processed signal for providing said processed cable connected received signal to an interface unit of said television set for use of said processed cable connected received signal by said user of said television set, said cable connected received signal is received from a third transmitter of said mobile device, said mobile device transmitted first OFDM modulated wireless signal and said mobile device cable connected transmitted signal is obtained in said mobile device from a camera provided processed signal, or is obtained in said mobile device by receiving, demodulating and processing a received Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated signal into a received, demodulated and processed baseband CDMA signal, said camera is in said mobile device and said received CDMA modulated signal is received, demodulated and processed in said mobile device from a cellular base station CDMA signal transmitter; and processing, modulating and transmitting in said TV set a baseband video signal, into a second processed and second OFDM modulated signal and transmitting said second processed and second OFDM modulated signal in a wireless transmitter of said TV set to said mobile device for demodulating and processing of said second OFDM processed signal in said mobile device into a second OFDM processed video signal and for providing said second OFDM processed video signal to an interface unit of said mobile device for use by a user of said mobile device, said first OFDM modulated signal is distinct from said second OFDM modulated signal, said baseband video signal is a received, demodulated baseband broadcast video signal, said broadcast video signal is received in said TV set from a television broadcast transmitter.
