Abstract

Wireless, telephone-based satellite-linked communication system for transmitting a present-time signal to any point on the earth. The telephone-based satellite-linked communication system comprises a digital-based wireless telecommunication system and a digital-based satellite-linked telecommunication system. The digital-based wireless telecommunication system obtains visual and auditory information of a present-time event at one point on the earth and produces a digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event. The digital-based satellite-linked telecommunication system is receives the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event and transmits to substantially any other point on the earth the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event. The transmitted digital-based signal has an error-to-signal ratio sufficiently low as to be deemed substantially satisfactory to a select number of viewers.

Claims

1. An improved wireless, telephone-based satellite-linked communication system for transmitting a present-time signal to any point on the earth, comprising:

a digital-based wireless telecommunication system adapted to obtain visual and auditory information of a present-time event at one point on the earth and to produce a digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event; and

a digital-based satellite-linked telecommunication system operatively connected to the wireless telecommunication system and adapted to receive the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event and to transmit to substantially any other point on the earth the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event, wherein the transmitted digital-based signal has an error-to-signal ratio sufficiently low as to be deemed substantially satisfactory to a select number of viewers.

2. The improved satellite-linked communication system of claim 1, wherein the select number of viewers is a select number of global television and computer monitor viewers around the world via the internet.

3. The improved satellite-linked communication system of claim 2, wherein the transmitted digital-based signal is viewed live by the select number of global television and computer monitor viewers around the world via the internet.

4. The improved satellite-linked communication system of claim 2, wherein the digital-based wireless telecommunication system includes a video compression device for producing digital-based compressed video signals corresponding to compressed visual information of the present-time event, and wherein the satellite-linked telecommunication system is further adapted to receive the digital-based compressed video signals and to transmit to substantially any other point on the earth the digital-based compressed video signals, wherein said transmitted digital-based compressed video signals have an error-to-signal ratio sufficiently low as to be deemed substantially satisfactory to the select number of global television and computer monitor viewers around the world via the internet.

5. An improved wireless, telephone-based satellite-linked communication system for transmitting a present-time signal to any point on the earth, comprising:

a digital-based wireless telecommunication system adapted to obtain visual and auditory information of a present-time event at one point on the earth and to produce a digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event;

a digital-based satellite-linked telecommunication system operatively connected to the wireless telecommunication system and adapted to receive the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event and to transmit to substantially any other point on the earth the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event, wherein the transmitted digital-based signal has an error-to-signal ratio sufficiently low as to be deemed substantially satisfactory to a select number of viewers; and

wherein the select number of viewers is a select number of global television and computer monitor viewers around the world via the internet.

6. The improved satellite-linked communication system of claim 5, wherein the transmitted digital-based signal is viewed live by the select number of global television and computer monitor viewers around the world via the internet.

7. The improved satellite-linked communication system of claim 5, wherein the digital-based wireless telecommunication system includes a video compression device for producing digital-based compressed video signals corresponding to compressed visual information of the present-time event, and wherein the satellite-linked telecommunication system is further adapted to receive the digital-based compressed video signals and to transmit to substantially any other point on the earth the digital-based compressed video signals, wherein said transmitted digital-based compressed video signals have an error-to-signal ratio sufficiently low as to be deemed substantially satisfactory to the select number of global television and computer monitor viewers around the world via the internet.
