Abstract

A TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program is provided, which comprises a first TV apparatus for receiving a TV audiovisual signal and displaying a corresponding audiovisual program; and a portable second TV apparatus with a built-in storage unit, which is electrically connected to the first TV apparatus and receives a record actuating signal in order to synchronically record the audiovisual program to the storage unit. A user watches the audiovisual program through the second TV apparatus when the second TV apparatus is separated from the first TV apparatus, thereby enhancing the convenience of using the TV apparatus.

Claims

1. A TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program, comprising:

a first TV apparatus for receiving a TV audiovisual signal and playing an audiovisual program; and

a portable second TV apparatus with a built-in storage unit and electrically connected to the first TV apparatus, which is used for receiving a record actuating signal, thereby synchronically recording the audiovisual program into the storage unit;

wherein a user watches the audiovisual program through the second TV apparatus when the second TV apparatus is separated from the first TV apparatus.

2. The TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first TV apparatus further comprises:

a tuner for tuning a video signal and an audio signal in the TV audiovisual signal;

a first audiovisual signal input/output interface for providing a link interface to transmit the video signal and the audio signal;

a first display element for receiving the video signal to realize a video effect; and

a first loudspeaker for receiving the audio signal to realize an audio effect.

3. The TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first audiovisual signal input/output interface is one selected from the group consisting of a digital optical fiber input terminal, an audio/video (AV) input terminal, and an audio/super-video input terminal.

4. The TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first display element is one selected form of the group consisting of a Plasma Display Panel (PDP), a liquid crystal display (LCD), an Organic Electro-Luminescent Display (OLED, PLED), a vacuum screen display (VFD), and a field emission display (FED).

5. The TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program as claimed in claim 2, wherein the second TV apparatus further comprises:

a second audiovisual signal input/output interface for providing a link interface to transmit the video signal and the audio signal;

a second display element for receiving the video signal to realize a video effect; and

a second loudspeaker for receiving the audio signal to realize an audio effect.

6. The TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program as claimed in claim 5, wherein the second audiovisual signal input/output interface is one selected from the group consisting of a digital optical fiber input terminal, an audio/video (AV) input terminal, and an audio/super-video input terminal.

7. The TV system capable of recording a multimedia audiovisual program as claimed in claim 5, wherein the second display element is one selected form the group consisting of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an Organic Electro-Luminescent Display (OLED, PLED), and a micro display.
