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 display device in the form of a holographic projector connected to the receiver for displaying a 3D 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, comprising:
an audio 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 change the preselected addresses to which the processor connects;
and
a least one speaker configured for connecting to the receiver, the speaker being adapted to play signals received by the receiver,
a holographic projector connected to the receiver, that is adapted to project a 3D holographic image that is received by the receiver,
wherein the holographic projector is configured to project a 3D holographic image from the speaker or onto the speaker, so that the speaker takes on the appearance of the holographic image; and
wherein the processor is programmed to correlate the images displayed by the holographic 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 holographic projector.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is device is contained in a smartphone.
