MULTIMEDIA TRAINING SYSTEM AND APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A system and method for providing interactive training, whereby a video display and a base station are coupled in communication with a computer. A plurality of wireless handheld remotes are configured for wirelessly communicating with the base station, and each of the remotes is operable by a respective trainee of a group of trainees. Each remote has a remote ID unique from all other remotes and is stored in a memory of the computer; and the base station includes a base station ID code unique from all other base stations, and the base station ID is stored in a memory of each remote. Each remote remains in an inactive state and is operable to be activated via a respective ACTIVATE signal transmitted from the base station, and the base station is operable to transmit an ACTIVATE signal to one or more of the remotes, the ACTIVATE signal being effective for enabling the remote to transmit a signal, wherein the remote is preferably deactivated upon completion of transmission of signal. Using unique IDs prevents interference from other wireless devices including remotes bound with other base stations. It also makes it unnecessary for one training system to operate on a different channel from another training system.
