Abstract

A system for remote control of live TV capability for TV screens, the system comprising satellite feeds (2003) broadcasting means (2002, 2004), a set top box (2005), a Smart-IB box (2006) capable of sending and receiving data/content, a central server capable of interpreting received data/content from Smart-IB, a communication network having interactive means coupled with world wide web (2008), a display screen (2007) having display means operable to display data/information. A method for remote control of live TV capability for TV screens, the method comprising the steps of receiving a schedule to record and/or relay set top box content, forwarding desired frequency to remote signal inducing means (RSIM), generating infrared (IR) signal, interpreting infrared (IR) signal by set top box, changing audio-video (AV) output as per the schedule list, recording/relaying audio-video (AV) output.

Claims

1. A method for remote control of live TV capability for TV screens, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a schedule to record and/or relay set top box content;

forwarding desired frequency to remote signal inducing means (RSIM);

generating infrared (IR) signal;

interpreting infrared (IR) signal by set top box;

changing audio-video (AV) output as per the schedule list;

recording/relaying audio-video (AV) output.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein AV output is received by the Smart-IB which records the data/content.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein data/content relayed at the defined time as per the scheduled play list.

4. A system for remote control of live TV capability for TV screens, the system comprising:

satellite feeds;

broadcasting means;

a set top box;

a Smart-IB box capable of sending and receiving data/content;

a central server capable of interpreting received data/content from Smart-IB;

a communication network having interactive means coupled with world wide web;

a display screen having display means operable to display data/information.

5. The system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the set-top box tuned by remote that uses a frequency such as infrared (IR) and/or short range frequency and the like.

6. The system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the central server comprises:

data receiving means;

accessing means to access the data/content;

interpreting and scheduling means to interpret and schedule the data/content as per the schedule list;

storing means to store the data/content;

remote signal inducing means; and

relaying means.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein remote signal inducing means contains an IR transmitter and a frequency generator that is attuned to create desired frequencies.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein interpreting and scheduling means forwards a request for a frequency to be tuned to the remote signal inducing means at a desired time.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein RSIM interprets the forwarded frequency and generates relevant frequency signals (IR).

10. The system as claimed in claim 7, wherein relevant frequency signal so generated received by the set-top box which causes to switch a channel thereby modifying the audio-video output.
