Description

Media player.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a media player, of the type used to play through a television, video files, images and music, previously stored through a computer.

The object of the invention is to provide a media player with a structuring that allows a Quick installation of the same for connection to both different televisions of the home in which it is installed, like the computer, all without wires.

Background of the invention

As is known, the use is increasingly frequent of media players, materialized basically on discs hard drives, equipped with complementary electronics to allow playback of different types of files contained inside one or more televisions of a home.

Currently, these types of devices must connect to the power supply network, as well as to both audio channels and the video channel of the corresponding television, by means of the complementary connection cables.

The problem with this operation is that contents of the mentioned player are usually updated every bit time, which entails having to carry out the connection and disconnection of the different cited cables, taking into account that the aforementioned audio and video signal connectors of the televisions are on the back of it, being in some cases of difficult access, due to the large dimensions of the screen or that it is integrated in a piece of furniture or Similary.

It should also be noted that, as is frequent, when there are several televisions in the home, these operations they must be carried out not only when updating device contents, but each time you want to play these contents on a different television.

In addition to the commented wiring, to carry After connecting the player to the computer, a cable is required additional, usually of USB type, for downloading said contents.

Description of the invention

The media player that the one proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem discussed above, so that once installed, its connection to the different televisions, as well as to Complementary computer can be done extremely Quick and easy, no wires needed.

To do this, and more specifically, the player of the invention is constituted from the conventional basic structuring of this type of players, but with the special feature that it complements itself with a series of bases to which it can be connected by simple provision on them.

Thus, the aforementioned bases will incorporate the corresponding power supply, electrical connections and wiring for connection of the device to the supply network electrical, as well as the audio and video channels of the television in question, or to the data transmission port of the computer.

In this way these bases will present a static character, that is, they will be associated with the computer or TV in question, so that said hard drive can connect quickly and easily to each of the bases according your user's preferences, all without having to be connecting and disconnecting cables.

To do this, the bases will incorporate accommodation formally and dimensionally appropriate to the dimensions of the housing of the storage unit or player itself both with the complementary coupling connectors fast to allow transmitting the different image signals, video, data and power supply.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, given that the aforementioned bases establish the corresponding power supplies, with their complementary transformation circuits, said bases may have a second accommodation with the complementary connectors to allow recharging of the remote control batteries player distance, which will obviously incorporate the complementary power supply terminals, being equipped of rechargeable batteries.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a media player made in accordance with the purpose of The present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a representation schematic in which you can see how the player itself is easily connectable to the different bases associated to the different televisions and computers of the house with a quick and simple maneuver.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the device that is recommended is constituted to from a storage and playback unit (1) of multimedia files proper, which is complemented by a series of bases (2), to which it attaches quickly and simple.

The aforementioned bases (2) will have a source of power supply and the complementary network connection cable electrical supply (3), as well as a series of connectors in its back side corresponding to the two audio channels (4-4 ') and video (5) for connection to the TV or screen (6) in question, incorporating a port for connection of the corresponding data transmission cable (7) to a computer (8), being able to incorporate said base in its previous zone Other type of connectors, such as HDMI, video input and audio, etc., such as those used by media players conventional.

A base will be defined in the base housing accommodation (9) formally and dimensionally suitable to receive in its core to the storage and reproduction unit (1) of multimedia files proper, settling in the background of said accommodation, as well as in the complementary face of the storage and playback unit housing the corresponding electrical connection terminals (10), corresponding that communicate electrically with the different connectors and outlet set on the back of the base (2).

As previously mentioned, the base (2) may incorporate a second housing (11) for recharging of the remote control (12), through the corresponding electrical terminals established in both devices.
