Integriertes Rechner- und Fernsehsystem mit Fernsteuerung zur Cursorpositionierung

摘要

An integrated computer and television system comprises a computer producing an output VGA signal, television circuits for receiving a broadcast television signal and for decoding said signal by analog means to produce an output TV signal, and a monitor having a VGA mode in which it can display VGA signals, and a TV mode in which it can display TV signals, all housed in the same cabinet. A multiplexer is provided, for selecting between the output VGA signal from the computer and the TV signal from the television circuits. The selected signal is fed directly to the monitor, without any analog/digital or digital/analog conversion. The system includes a TV remote control unit. The computer can generate simulated remote control signals for controlling the television circuits, in place of the remote control signals from the remote control unit. The system can also use the remote control unit as a simulated mouse, for controlling movement of a cursor on the computer monitor. $$
