Wireless information transfer and interactive television system
First Claim
1. A wireless information signal transfer and interactive television system comprises:
- at least a first communication system, operatively coupled to a television set, comprising a first RF transceiver unit and a first data processing unit for generating at least one information signal and for generating at least one display signal for display on the television set;
a wireless signal transfer network, operatively coupled to the at least a first communication system, for wirelessly transferring signals including the at least one information signal;
at least a second communication system operatively coupled to the wireless transfer network, comprising a second RF transceiver unit and a second data processing unit for receiving and processing the at least one information signal; and
a server, operatively coupled to the at least a second communication system, for receiving and processing the at least one information signal and providing data included in the information signal to a functional network, wherein the server retrieves return data from the functional network and provides the return data to the at least a second communication system, the at least a second communication system generating at least one return information signal and providing the at least one return information signal to the wireless signal transfer network, the wireless signal transfer network wirelessly transferring the at least one return information signal to the at least a first communication system, which generates the at least one display signal for display on the television set, wherein the at least one information signal and the at least one return information signal are independently transmitted from a television signal.
