Abstract

A series of reflecting mirrors to transfer waves from a portable remote control device to control electronic devices where the wave receiving eye of the electronic device is not in uninterrupted alignment with the remote control device. A wave filter to block certain definable instructions from reaching the wave receiving eye.

Claims

1. An arrangement of reflectors for remotely and wirelessly operating an electronic device where the wave receiving eye of the said electronic device is not directly in line with the remote control device that sends out instruction using infra-red or other waves comprising,

a box to house the said electronic device and to house at least one reflector,

a compartment in the said box to accommodate and provide an entry and exit for cables and wires to and from the said electronic device,

a means to hold the said reflectors at specific angles relative to each other and specific angles relative to the said receiving eye,

a means to adjust the angles of the said reflectors, and

a wave filter to block certain commands emitted by the said remote control device.

2. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said blocking is achieved with a transparent infra-red blocking screen.

3. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said wave filter is an electronic wave filter whereby specific infra-red or other waves can be blocked from reaching the electronic device.

4. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 3 wherein the said wave filter is programmable with the wavelengths to be filtered out and blocked from reaching the said receiving eye.

5. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 3 wherein the said wave filter accepts instruction by the user to recognize the wavelength to be filtered out and blocked from reaching the said receiving eye.

6. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 3 wherein the said wave filter operates by emitting a disrupting constant light beam that prevents the unwanted waves from reaching the said receiving eye.

7. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 1 wherein the housing for the said reflecting mirrors is hinged to the said box.

8. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said reflecting mirrors are prisms.

16. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claims 1 and 9 wherein the said reflecting mirrors are used to see the screen of the said electronic device, where the said screen faces in a direction not directly visible by a person standing next to the said electronic device.

18. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claims 1 and 9 wherein the said electronic device is positioned at an angle other than vertical.

9. A arrangement of reflectors for remotely and wirelessly operating an electronic device where the receiving eye of the said device is not directly in line with the remote control device that sends out instruction using infra-red or other waves comprising,

a frame to hold at least one reflecting mirror,

a means to hold the said reflecting mirrors at specific angles relative to each other and specific angles relative to the said receiving eye,

a means to adjust the said angles of the said reflecting mirrors, and

a means to block certain commands emitted by the said remote control device.

10. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 9 wherein the said blocking is achieved with a transparent infra-red blocking screen.

11. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 9 wherein the said blocking device is an electronic wave filter whereby specific infra-red or other waves can be blocked from reaching the electronic device.

12. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 9 wherein the said reflecting mirrors are prisms.

13. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 11 wherein the said wave filter is programmed with the wavelengths to be filtered out and blocked from reaching the said receiving eye.

14. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 11 wherein the said wave filter is capable of accepting instruction from the user to recognize the wavelength to be filtered out and blocked from reaching the said receiving eye.

15. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claim 11 wherein the said wave filter operates by emitting a disrupting constant light beam that prevents the unwanted waves from reaching the said receiving eye.

17. A arrangement of reflectors as claimed in claims 3 and 11 wherein the said electronic wave filter is divided into two parts connected by an electronic cable wherein the one part is attached to an external face of the device of this invention in order to accept the remote control infra-red waves and the other part is attached to an internal face of the device of this invention positioned to be able to transmit the said instruction waves to the said receiving eye.

19. An electronic wave filter which is programmable to block out undesired instructions from a wave transmitter comprising a wave receiver, a processing wave filter and a wave transmitter.
