Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wireless transmission system digital speaker.
  • Wireless speaker systems are known in which a analog audio signal is converted to frequency modulation signal, this frequency modulated signal being transmitted over power lines AC from a home network.
  • the signal received by the network domestic product is then reconverted into an audio signal after extraction of the modulated frequency signal.
  • Such a device requires, to have the two channels stereophonic, to provide a first carrier frequency for the first channel and a second carrier frequency for the second channel. These frequencies must be selected according to specific conditions, this which will also limit the possibilities of bandwidth.
  • a first object of the invention is to propose a wireless system with digital transmission for loudspeakers which allows the diffusion of digital compact disc quality stereo signals and / or the remote control.
  • a second goal is to allow the emission of several signals to different speakers.
  • serialization means include means for inserting into the serialized signal packets a destination address ; and in that the receiving means include means for compare the address in the package received with the specific address receiving device to which the loudspeaker is connected.
  • the serialization device comprises means for multiplexing multiple frames of digital files representative of a different audio signal to different addresses.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a system which allows to ensure that copyright cannot be defrauded.
  • This third goal is achieved by the fact that the transmission circuits have an encryption circuit and the receiving device connected includes a decryption circuit using a secret key stored in the memory of the deserialization circuit.

  • the digital audio signals from the audio source after compression represent a digital bit rate of 128 kilo bits per second and are processed by the microcontroller (102) to be sent in packets successive according to the protocol (EP) explained above.
  • the microcontroller program (102) can be arranged to multiplexing multiple audio sources allowing for example, to send a piece of classical music to a first speaker while sending a song at the same time jazz music to a second speaker, each with a specific address and its own decryption key.
  • the device (10) addresses one or more frames to a user identified by a card or a box (11) connected to the loudspeaker.
  • the transmitting device (10) and the receiving device (s) (11) are not connected together only through the electrical conductors of the network domestic power supply.
