Disclosed herein is a television unit including a thin platelike display unit, a stand for rotatably supporting the display unit, and a speaker. The stand has a mounting portion adapted to be mounted at a suitable position and a swiveling portion rotatably connected to the mounting portion for supporting the display unit. The speaker is provided in the swiveling portion of the stand.

A visual display device for vehicles and portable operation is provided, comprising a display arrangement for the display of data and a holding device for securing the display arrangement to the vehicle. Data and/or power may be provided either internally or externally through the holding device to the display arrangement. The visual display device is easily movable to accommodate the user's preferences, and may be transportable to locations other than the vehicle. Additionally, the visual display unit may function as a wireless terminal for an auxiliary television unit by receiving satellite or wireless transmissions and transmitting these to the auxiliary television unit. Methods for using the visual display device attached to a vehicle and as a portable unit are also provided, allowing for a wide range of data sources and internal power configurations.

The present invention is a mounted rotatable television unit for installing a television in one of a wall and a cabinet wherein when installed therein the television is rotatable at least 180 degrees. The unit comprises an inner frame and an outer frame. The inner frame is adapted to receive a television. The outer frame is adapted to be installed in one of the wall and the cabinet and is rotatably attached to the inner frame whereby the inner frame may be pivoted such that the television is rotatable at least 180 degrees.

A method of controlling switching of an operation mode of a TV phone. The TV phone includes a TV unit that reproduces and outputs a video signal and an audio signal from a selected channel. A display unit interfaces with the TV unit and receives and displays the video signals from the TV unit while in a TV mode. A TV audio signal processer receives the audio signal from the TV unit and outputs audible sound. An MRFU receives data of a forward channel transmitted from a base station. An MSP provides a channel selecting signal to the TV unit in the TV mode and transmits and receives an audio signal input from the MRFU in a phone mode. The method comprises the steps of alerting the user of an incoming call in response to an incoming call signal transmitted from the base station when the TV phone is in a TV mode and switching from the TV mode to the phone mode, the switching preferably including disabling the operation of the TV unit.

The present invention relates to a method of changing between a plurality N of distinct services, e.g. television channels, receivable on a receiving unit, such as a mobile phone/cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld television unit, or similar devices. The receiving unit is adapted to receive the plurality of services in a time slicing mode with services being arranged in a certain time slice sequence. The receiving unit is capable of receiving a first service (S1). When “zapping” from the first service to a second service, the second service (S4) being chosen is the currently next service in time within the time slice sequence so as to minimize the time (t2) between service changes. Thereby, a fast method of changing between services is provided in a simplified manner, the speed of change reaching the theoretical maximum when using time slicing.

The application discusses a computer implemented method and apparatus for performing audio equalisation in an audio receiver device, such as an integrated receiver/decoder or set top box, or integrated TV, connected to one or more audio playback devices, such as a television unit, computer screen and speakers, amplifier or home theatre equipment. The method and apparatus use an equalisation process which compares audio signals received in different audio formats (e.g. MPEG-1 Layer II, AC-3 2.0, AC-3 5.1 and HE-AAC) with one another, allowing a correction gain factor to be determined for equalising the perceived loudness of the signals when played-back at a connected playback device. The correction gain factor is then applied in the audio receiver device before output.

This invention relates to a broadband visual telephone with the TV function including a process unit, a phone unit, a loudspeaker, a microphone, a screen and a camera head, in which, the process unit is connected with the phone unit, which is connected with the loudspeaker, the microphone, the screen and the camera head, the system also includes a TV unit linking with the process unit, the video output end of the TV unit is linked with the display screen via a video output switch module connected with the process unit.

The invention discloses a mobile television unit, which comprises a vehicle body and a crew capsule in the vehicle body, wherein a cabinet base is arranged in the rear region of the crew capsule and provided with a cabinet for mounting a television transmission device thereon. The mobile television unit further comprises transmitting antennas arranged at the top of the vehicle body. The invention realizes the integration of a mobile television unit system in the vehicle body of the existing medium- and small-sized daycoach with a rear door in the manner of high integration level. The device of the invention can be assembled into the mobile television unit under the condition of not reconstructing an original vehicle body, so as to assemble the mobile television unit for realizing television (broadcast and network) field pickup through a plurality of manners of using an MPV vehicle, using a temporarily rented vehicle, using an existing vehicle, and purchasing a special vehicle in actual application. The invention has the advantages of low cost, independence from special vehicles, zero reconstruction, and convenient maintenance.

The present invention relates to the field of television sets, and solves the problem that the management efficiency of the existing unconnected television is low. A system and a method for the centralized management of unconnected televisions are provided, A system for centralize management of unconnected television, comprises at least one unconnected television unit and a control terminal, wherein the at least one unconnected television unit is respectively connected with the control terminal, the unconnected television unit comprises an unconnected television and a serial port network module, the serial port end of the serial port network module is connected with the unconnected television, and the network end of the serial port network module is connected with the control terminal; A user can realize centralized management of a plurality of unconnected televisions by sending control instructions by a control terminal, such as switching on/off or changing channels, the efficiency ofmanaging multiple unconnected TVs is improved, the human cost is reduced, different unconnected TVs are distinguished by different MAC addresses, the purpose of independent control of unconnected TVsis achieved, and the management requirements are maximized, especially suitable for places where multiple unconnected TVs exist.

The invention discloses an industrial television picture automatic tracking system for a hot rolling finishing production line and a control method thereof. The system comprises a strip steel information tracking unit, an industrial television unit and a picture selection unit. The strip steel information tracking unit controls a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to track sensor information of a hot rolling finishing production line through L1; and the industrial television unit comprises a plurality of cameras, a video monitoring host, a set top box and a monitor, and the picture selection unit executes automatic switching according to a picture selection instruction sent by the L1 control PLC, so that only one of a plurality of monitoring pictures is displayed on the monitor. By automatically tracking the head part and the tail part of the hot-rolled finishing strip steel, an operator can pay attention to one picture in different processes, so that the fatigue of the operator caused by frequently raising and lowering the head is greatly reduced, and the labor intensity of the operator is effectively improved.
