Abstract
Abstract A coupling device to connect an external device, e.g. a mobile station, to a television receiver through a SCART or antenna connection using an LPRF link (e.g. Bluetooth). The coupling device contains the necessary electronics to receive the signal sent from the mobile station as an LPRF radio signal and convert it to a format suitable for television. The coupling device can be built as a small adapter that attaches directly to the SCART connector of the TV. The coupling device can be arranged to be capable of e.g. relaying a signal from a viden recorder to the TV and to replace the signal with a signal presenting the information sent by the mobile station.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A coupling device (M1) for attaching an external device (MS) to a television
device (TV), which television device has a first input (SC3) to receive a
certain external information signal in certain first format, characterised in
that the coupling device comprises short range radio communicating means (BB2) for receiving
information from the external device (MS); means (AD,CPU,GG,41,42) for converting received information to an
information signal in a first format and a first output (SC1) for supplying said information signal in the first
format to the first input (SC3) of said television device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
35 words
A coupling device according to claim 1, characterised in that the coupling device comprises a second input (SC2) for receiving an
external picture signal to be relayed to the television device through said
first output.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A coupling device according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that said first output is a SCART-connector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A coupling device according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that said first output is an antenna cable connector (43).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
A coupling device according to any of claims 2 to 4, characterised in that said coupling device comprises switching means (SS,VS) to
disconnect a signal entering said second input from said first output when
the coupling device is communicating with said external device and to
connect the signal entering the second input to said first output when the
coupling device is not communicating with said external device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A coupling device according to any of claims 1 to 5, characterised in that said external device is battery operated, and said coupling device comprises means (PS,CHC) for charging a
battery of said external device.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
A coupling device according to any of claims 1 to 6, characterised in that
the coupling device comprises means (VIDEO2,VS,TT,CPU) for receiving a second information from
a television program source; and means (BB2) to send said second information through a short range
radio connection (RFC) to said external device.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A coupling device according to any of claims 1 to 7, characterised in that
said information comprises at least one of the following: picture and sound
information.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim

A coupling device according to any of claims 1 to 11, characterised in
that said external device comprises means (CL1) for attaching said external
device detachably to a television device.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
116 words
A system comprising an external device (MS) and a television device (TV), which external device has short range radio communicating means
(BB1) for receiving certain external information signal in a first format, characterised in that the system comprises a coupling device (M1) for receiving information
from an external device to a television device to be presented on the
television device, which coupling device comprises: short range radio communicating means (BB2) for receiving
information from an external device (MS); means (AD,CPU,GG,41,42) for converting the received
information to an information signal in said first format; and a first output (SC1) to supply said information signal in the first
format to the first input (SC3) of said television device.
Claim 14
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for coupling an external device (MS) to a television device (TV),
which television device contains a first input (SC3) to receive an external
information signal, characterised in that a coupling device (M1) is attached to the first input to receive
information; information sent on a short range radio connection is received from an
external device; received information is converted to a first format suitable to the
television device; and information in said first format is supplied to said first input.
