Abstract

A built in FM Transmitter and/or VHF Transmitter, referred to as “transmitter”, for cellular, portable, or other wireless communication devices, referred to as “cell phone”, establishing stored voice, music or video over home or automobile entertainment centers, referred to as “entertainment centers”. The cellular or portable phone would have music or video stored on or transmitted to it via physical or wireless means. The cell phone has a built in low power transmitter for the expressed purpose of transmitting stored voice, music or video to nearby entertainment centers. There could be a special controller or device on the entertainment system for control, encryption or security of FM transmissions. An interface between the cell phone and the entertainment center would not be required. The transmitter and its controls can be housed in the cellular phone. There is no physical connection between the cellular phone and the entertainment center located in an automobile or elsewhere. The transmitter can be controlled through hardware or software housed or programmed into the cell phone.

Claims
