Abstract

The present invention provides a display card with wireless communication functionality. A wireless module controlled by a graphic processing unit is formed in the display card. Audio-visual data is sent to the corresponding display through a wireless communication method by the display card. This display card can communicate with the motherboard through an interface. A software program is used to switch the transmission frequency.

Claims

1. A display card used in a computer system having a frequency adjusting program, comprising:

a graphic processing unit for processing an audio-visual data; and

a first wireless module coupling with said graphic processing unit for transmitting a processed audio-visual data to a display, wherein said graphic processing unit receive an order from said frequency adjusting program to control a first transmission frequency of said first wireless module.

2. The display card of claim 1, further comprising a memory for storing said processed audio-visual data.

3. The display card of claim 1, wherein said display is a television.

4. The display card of claim 1, wherein said display has a second wireless module, and said first wireless module may control said second wireless module to switch to a second transmission frequency related to said first transmission frequency.

5. The display card of claim 4, wherein said first transmission frequency is equal to said second transmission frequency.

6. The display card of claim 4, wherein said second wireless module further comprises an indicator.

7. The display card of claim 6, wherein said second wireless module may transmit a requirement inputted by said indicator to said first wireless module.

8. A computer system, wherein said system comprises:

a motherboard having a central processing unit;

a software program for controlling said central processing unit to send an adjusting frequency requirement; and

a display card coupling with said motherboard, wherein said display card comprises;

a graphic processing unit for processing an audio-visual data from said central processing unit and said adjusting frequency requirement, and also for sending an adjusting frequency signal; and

a first wireless module coupling with said graphic processing unit, and after receiving said adjusting frequency signal, said first wireless transmission adjusts its transmission frequency to a first transmission frequency for transmitting a processed audio-visual data to a display.

9. The computer system of claim 8, further comprising a memory for storing said processed audio-visual data.

10. The computer system of claim 8, wherein said display is a television.

11. The computer system of claim 8, wherein said display has a second wireless module, said first wireless module may control said second wireless module to switch to a second transmission frequency related to said first transmission frequency.

12. The computer system of claim 11, wherein said first transmission frequency is equal to said second transmission frequency.

13. The computer system of claim 11, wherein said second wireless module further comprises an indicator.

14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein said second wireless module may transmit a requirement inputted by said indicator to said first wireless module.

15. A wireless transmitting system, wherein said system comprises:

a host with a display card and a software program, wherein said display card has a first wireless module controlled by said software program, said software program controls said first wireless module to adjust its transmission frequency to a first transmission frequency for transmitting an audio-visual data generated by said host; and

a display having a second wireless module for receiving an audio-visual data from said first wireless module, wherein said first wireless module control said second wireless module to switch to a second transmission frequency related to said first transmission frequency

16. The wireless transmitting system of claim 15, wherein said host is a computer system.

17. The wireless transmitting system of claim 15, wherein said host further comprises a memory for storing said processed audio-visual data.

18. The wireless transmitting system of claim 15, wherein said display is a television.

19. The wireless transmitting system of claim 15, wherein said second wireless module further comprises an indicator.

20. The wireless transmitting system of claim 19, wherein said second wireless module may transmit a requirement inputted by said indicator to said first wireless module.
