Abstract

A portable receiver device that comprises of a receiver component for receiving audio and video signals from a remote source and a viewing component for viewing local content and a display for displaying at least one of (i) video content defined by the video signals and (ii) local content from the viewing component, and wherein at least one of the received video signals and local content are encrypted.

Claims

1. A portable receiver device comprising:

a receiver component for receiving audio and video signals from a remote source;

a viewing component for viewing local content; and

a display for displaying at least one of (i) video content defined by the video signals and (ii) local content from the viewing component, and wherein at least one of the received video signals and local content are encrypted.

2. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a memory component for storing at least one of the video content and local content.

3. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising at least one CCD/Lens configured to provide zoom binocular viewing having range finding capabilities.

4. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a GPS receiver component configured to provide positioning information in connection with at least one of the video content and local content for determination of a target position.

5. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 wherein the encrypted content comprises encrypted content received from an encrypted battlefield video system.

6. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 wherein the receiver component receives video signals from an aerial surveillance video source.

7. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising an encryption system providing preprogrammed encryption to the video signal for security based on a specific code.

8. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a description component to decrypt the received video signals.

9. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a security component that is locked and unlocked to allow selective access to the portable device.

10. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a security component that is locked and unlocked to allow selective access to the portable device, the security component utilizing one of the multi-digit code and a fingerprint touch pad.

11. A portable receiver device comprising:

a receiver component for receiving audio and video signals from a remote source;

a viewing component for viewing local content,

a display for displaying at least one of (i) video content defined by the video signals and (ii) local content from the viewing component, and wherein at least one of the received video signals and local content are encrypted; and

a GPS receiver component configured to provide positioning information in connection with at least one of the video content and local content for determination of a target position.

12. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 11 further comprising at least one CCD/Lens configured to provide zoom binocular viewing having range finding capabilities.

13. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 11 further comprising an encryption system providing preprogrammed encryption to the video signal for security based on a specific code.

14. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 11 further comprising a description component to decrypt the received video signals.

15. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 11 further comprising a security component that is locked and unlocked to allow selective access to the portable device.

16. A portable receiver device comprising:

a receiver component for receiving audio and video signals from a remote source;

a viewing component for viewing local content,

a display for displaying at least one of (i) video content defined by the video signals and (ii) local content from the viewing component, and wherein at least one of the received video signals and local content are encrypted; and

a security component that is locked and unlocked to allow selective access to the portable device.

17. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 16 wherein the receiver component receives video signals from an aerial surveillance video source.

18. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 16 further comprising an encryption system providing preprogrammed encryption to the video signal for security based on a specific code.

19. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 16 further comprising a description component to decrypt the received video signals.

20. A portable receiver device in accordance with claim 16 further comprising a security component that is locked and unlocked to allow selective access to the portable device, the security component utilizing one of the multi-digit code and a fingerprint touch pad.
