Directional control/transmission system with directional light projector
First Claim
1. A directional control/transmission system arranged to control or communicate with a device to be controlled or communicated with, said device having a receiving unit by using infrared or ultrasonic waves as a carrier, said directional control/transmission system comprising:
- an infrared or ultrasonic transmission unit for converting electrical signals into said infrared or ultrasonic waves and for transmitting said infrared or ultrasonic waves;
a dedicated circuit for operating said transmission unit;
a power source; and
a directional light projector,wherein the light projector is connected to said power source and outputs a visible light beam,wherein the directional light projector further includes an arrangement for diffusing said visible light beam to serve as a lighting beam, andwherein said visible light beam is arranged to be transmitted in a same direction as the infrared or ultrasonic waves to facilitate aiming of the infrared or ultrasonic waves at the said receiving unit of said device to be controlled or communicated with, andwherein said visible light beam is adjustable to be aimed in a different direction than the infrared or ultrasonic waves so as to illuminate a display while the infrared or ultrasonic waves are aimed at said receiving unit.

Abstract
A directional control/transmission system adapted with a directional light projector to mark the direction of signal control or transmission; comprised of a control or transmission system having a directional infrared or ultrasonic waves as a carrier adapted with a light projector to output a visible light-spot target to indicate control or transmission direction of directional infrared or ultrasonic waves; or to project the target on a monitor for auxiliary help; or to serve as a lighting beam; or to adjust focus for functioning as the light-spot target or selection of the lighting beam.
