Abstract

An audio/mechanical/visual transducer system that makes use of a wireless communication channel for communicating between the audio signal generator and the transducer, through a wireless transmitter is provided. This invention provides an RF or Power Line Carrier path for communicating the audio signals to a variety of transducer devices, thereby permitting maximum positional flexibility for the transducers without requiring additional or dedicated wiring.

Claims

(A) a wireless transmitter;

(B) a wireless transducer in electromagnetic communication with said wireless transmitter; and

(C) an actuator for converting signals received from said wireless transducer to sensor input.

2. A wireless audio transducer system, as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

(D) an audio signal transmitter.

3. A wireless audio transducer system, as recited in claim 1, wherein said wireless transmitter is an RF over-the-air transmitter.

4. A wireless audio transducer system, as recited in claim 1, wherein said wireless transmitter is a power line carrier transmitter.

5. A wireless audio transducer system, as recited in claim 1, wherein said actuator is a visual display driver.

6. A wireless audio transducer system, as recited in claim 1, wherein said actuator is a mechanical vibrator.

7. A wireless audio transducer system, as recited in claim 5, wherein said visual display driver provides signals for visual lights.

8. A wireless audio transducer system, as recited in claim 5, wherein said visual display driver provides signals for visual pictures.
