Sensor means for television receiver

Electric and electronic sensor means for selecting high resolution multi-medial operative functions and programs, connected to an interface device for an appliance for processing a plurality of high resolution multi-medial operative programs and functions, integrated with a television receiver screen (7), for setting, performing such multi-medial operative programs and functions and displaying them on to the such screen (7), said an appliance comprising main electronic control means (master microprocessor 5) of traditional type, for controlling and managing informatics digital and analog data in general and data of operative programs and functions for personal computers and television receivers of various kind, and also comprising means for reproducing sounds of such operative programs and functions (electronic block 8) connected to said main electronic control means (5) and said screen (7), and being made and operating like the appliance described and claimed in the patent application for invention n. PN2005A000038, filed on Jun. 15, 2005 by the same Applicant, and said interface device (2) comprising second main electronic control means (microprocessor 1) of traditional type, connected to said first main electronic control means (5) and to said sensor means (12-18), said appliance and said interface device (2) being connected to a system for processing on a real time the human voice for processing and controlling said plurality of multi-medial operative programs and functions, comprising third control means (microprocessor 11) adapted to be activated and de-activated by means of a human voice control, and connected to said first and second main electronic control means (5, 1) for performing an exchange of informatics data coded in a digital mode, said processing system being made and operating like the system described in the patent application n. PN2006A000069, filed on Sep. 13, 2006 by the same Applicant, characterized in that said sensor means (12-18) comprise first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh sensor means (12;

PN2010A000006, filed on Jan. 28, 2010 by the same Applicant, said second main electronic control means (1) being set in advance with operative programs coded in the digital mode and relating to the digital data concerning the presence, the posture and the movements and gestures etc . . . of the persons, and the sounds and noises produced by the same persons, which are introduced through said sensor means (12-18), as well as the persons voice controls which are introduced through said third control means (11), in order that these operative programs be able to recognize said digital data during each selection of the appliance operative programs and functions, so as to interpret always correctly the selection indications of the persons, and as response to the recognition of the so selected digital data said operative programs provide to transmit corresponding response digital signals to said first electronic control means (5), with consequent checking and managing by these latter of the carrying out of the selected operative programs and functions, the operative programs of said second main electronic control means (1) being also set in advance for effecting an exchange of coded digital data among them and each one of said sensor means (12-18), so as to set each sensor to operate from time to time with a determinate configuration, depending on the different parameters to be detected, and for checking the operative state of each sensor as well as the exchange of the coded digital data among said second main electronic control means (2) and the different sensors during the carrying out of the different operative programs and functions, and for effecting also an exchange of coded digital data between either one or both said electronic control means (5, 11), and also for setting each one or both said electronic control means (5, 11) to operate from time to time with a determinate configuration, depending on the different parameters to be processed, as well to for recognizing all the codes of the controls of the operative programs and functions which have been selected, as described in the above mentioned patent application n. PN2010A000006, and for checking also the operative state of each one of said electronic control means (1, 5, 11) and the exchange of the coded digital data among these latter during the carrying out of the different operative programs and functions, said second electronic control means (1) being further set with operative programs adapted to transmit the informations received from said sensor means (12-17) to other external processors for a possible pre-processing thereof, wherein said external processors may be constituted by said first electronic control means (5) or, through them, by other processing systems provided in the network, in a manner that the so processed data are then returned to said first electronic control means (5) for the final processing and the recognizing of the given controls.
