A device (2) which allows for the input of visual, audio and/or auxiliary data, the processing of the data and storage of the data in the device. The device (2) is provided with a display screen (16) for the display of the visual data and/or speakers for the sounding of the audio data. The device (2) allows for the selected communication of the visual, audio and/or auxiliary data to and/or from a remote location either directly via a communications link or via a broadcast data receiver, and then via a communications link. The device (2) is of such size so as to be hand held and portable and can be located in a holder (10). The holder (10) can be provided with lighting means (12) to improve viewing of the display screen of the device and/or magnification means to allow data to be magnified and projected on a further surface (20) for viewing and/or audio means to allow for the generation of sound from received audio data.
A device (2) which allows for the input of visual, audio and/or auxiliary data, the processing of said data and storage of said data in the device, said device (2) provided with a display screen (6) for the display of said visual data and/or speakers for sounding of said audio data characterised in that said device (2) allows for the selected communication of said visual, audio and/or auxiliary data to and/or from a remote location either directly via a communications link or via a broadcast data receiver, and then via a communications link, said device (2) being of such size so as to be hand held and portable.
A device (2) which allows for the input of visual, audio and/or auxiliary data, the processing of said data and storage of said data in the device, said device provided with a display screen (6) for the display of said visual data and/or speakers for sounding of said audio data, said device allowing for the selected communication of said visual, audio and/or auxiliary data to and/or from a remote location either directly via a communications link or via a broadcast data receiver, and then via a communications link, said device for location in a holder (10) and characterised in that said holder includes a light source (12), which light source is directed, when the device is placed on said holder, to provide improved lighting of the display screen (6) of the device.
A device (2) which allows for the input of visual, audio and/or auxiliary data, the processing of said data and storage of said data in the device, said device provided with a display screen (6) for the display of said visual data and/or speakers for sounding of said audio data, said device allowing for the selected communication of said visual, audio and/or auxiliary data to and/or from a remote location either directly via a communications link or via a broadcast data receiver, and then via a communications link, said device for location in a holder (10) and characterised in that said device (2) and/or holder is/are provided with magnification means to allow the material for display on the display screen of the device to be magnified and projected against a further surface (20) for viewing.
A device for the input of data, the processing of data, storage of same in the device and selected communication of said data to a remote location either directly via a communications link or via a broadcast data receiver and then via a communications link, said device provided for location in a holder and characterised in that the said device includes therein processing means to allow audio data received from a remote location to be decoded and an audio service provided.
