Abstract

A multi-functional presenter includes a case, a control unit in the case, an operating unit on the case and connected to the control unit, a pointer unit connected to the control unit, a bidirectional wireless communication unit connected to the control unit and linked with an external electronic device, a voice receiving unit connected to the control unit for receiving voice signals, a reminding unit connected to the control unit for receiving a warning signal from the external electronic device and giving a reminder to a user, and a power supply unit connected to the control unit. With the voice receiving unit and the bidirectional wireless communication unit, the multi-functional presenter performs not only the functions of paging up/down, pointing images, giving the user a reminder, etc., but also enables on-site voice recording and storing the recorded voice signals on the external electronic device.

Claims

1. A multi-functional presenter, comprising:

a case;

a control unit being provided inside the case;

an operating unit being provided on a front surface of the case and electrically connected to the control unit;

a bidirectional wireless communication unit being provided in the case and electrically connected to the control unit for linking with at least one externally electronic device;

a voice receiving unit being provided in the case and electrically connected to the control unit for receiving voice signals, so that the received voice signals are transmitted via the bidirectional wireless communication unit to the external electronic device;

a reminding unit being provided in or on the case and electrically connected to the control unit for receiving a warning signal from the external electronic device via the bidirectional wireless communication unit;

a pointer unit having a light source and a switch for controlling the on/off of the light source, and both of the light source and the switch being provided on the front surface of the case; and

a power supply unit being provided in the case for supplying electric power to the control unit and the pointer unit.

2. The multi-functional presenter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operating unit includes a joystick and a plurality of keys.

3. The multi-functional presenter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bidirectional wireless communication unit is a Bluetooth interface.

4. The multi-functional presenter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the voice receiving unit is a microphone.

5. The multi-functional presenter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reminding unit includes a vibrator arranged in the case and/or a light arranged on the front surface of the case, and the vibrator and/or the light are/is driven by the received warning signal to vibrate and/or emit light.

6. The multi-functional presenter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the power supply unit is electrically connected to an indicator lamp provided on the front surface of the case.
