Themed ornaments with internet radio receiver
View Patent ↗Apparatuses for playing signals received from the internet or other information highway or a stored database on one or more speakers are described. The apparatus has a receiver for receiving information from preselected addresses; a processor for interpreting the signals; and at least one speaker for playing signals from the internet. There is at least one holographic projector connected to the receiver for projecting a holographic image received from the internet. The processor selects images that correspond with the signals played by the speaker.
1. A system for playing signals received from the internet or other information highway on several speakers simultaneously, comprising:
an internet radio device comprising:
a receiver that connects to the internet or other information highway or to a database having a stored playlist; and
a processor in the receiver that is programmed to connect to preselected addresses on the internet or other information highway or to the stored playlist;
a user interface that is configured for allowing a user to control processes of the processor; and
a least one speaker configured for connecting to the receiver, the speaker being adapted to play signals received by the receiver,
at least one holographic projector connected to the receiver, the projector being adapted to project a 3D holographic image that is received by the receiver,
wherein the processor is programmed to correlate the images projected by the projector with a theme of the signals played by the at least one speaker.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiver wirelessly connects to the internet or other information highway or to the database.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiver wirelessly connects to the speaker and projector.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is configured for allowing the user to select an internet radio station from among a group of preselected radio stations for each speaker.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the internet radio device is a smartphone.
6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the holographic projector is configured to play still or moving images.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein there are a plurality of speakers and holographic projectors, and each speaker is configured to default to a different internet address than the remaining speakers, such that each speaker plays signals from a different internet address.
