US 6,587,053 B1 · Wireless key input processing apparatus for a display apparatus using a universal serial bus

Abstract

A key signal from a wireless keyboard or wireless mouse is received by a display apparatus and is transmitted to a personal computer (PC) through a USB line, and a process signal is received from the PC to control peripheral equipment connected to the display apparatus. The wireless key input processing apparatus includes: a key input unit having an infrared transmitting unit for converting a signal inputted by a user through a wireless keyboard and/or wireless mouse to an infrared signal, and for transmitting it; a display unit for receiving the wireless key signal outputted from the transmitting unit, converting it to USB information, outputting the converted information through the USB line as upstream data; and a PC for identifying the key input corresponding to information from the keyboard and/or mouse as recorded on a ROM BIOS upon receipt of the USB information from the display unit.
