ENTERTAINMENT ENVIRONMENT REMOTE CONTROL AND AUDIO/VIDEO STREAMING METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

A remote control and streaming interface for an entertainment environment. The system includes an infrared (IR) transmitter panel holding a plurality of IR LEDs formed in an LED array. The system also includes at least one transceiver configured to maintain a bidirectional administration link with a smart handheld device and configured to maintain a separate streaming link with the smart handheld device. The system includes a processor configured to identify remote control (RC) commands received over the administration link, the processor configured to direct the LED array to generate an IR signal having a select IR pulse sequence based on the RC commands. The system also includes the LED array configured to transmit the IR signal in a reflective-deflective pattern across the entertainment environment until reaching at least one remotely controlled (RC) device within the entertainment environment wherein the RC device is positioned in a non-line of sight relation with the LED array.

1. A remote control and streaming interface for an entertainment environment, the system comprising:
an infrared (IR) transmitter panel holding an optical IR transmitter; at least one transceiver configured to maintain a bidirectional administration link with a smart handheld device and configured to maintain a separate streaming link with the smart handheld device (SD); a processor configured to identify remote control (RC) commands received over the administration link, the processor configured to direct the optical IR transmitter to generate an IR signal having a select IR pulse sequence based on the RC commands; the optical IR transmitter configured to transmit the IR signal in a reflective-deflective pattern across the entertainment environment until reaching at least one remotely controlled (RC) device within the entertainment environment, wherein the RC device is positioned in a non-line of sight relation with the optical IR transmitter.
