Abstract
A wireless interface system comprising a set of input ports for keyboard, pointing device, and joystick signals, a data encoding circuit, a transmission unit, a receiving unit, a data decoding circuit, a keyboard data multiplexer unit, a pointing device data multiplexer unit, a joystick signal multiplexer unit, and a set of output interfaces for connecting to the corresponding computer ports. This system allows for the user to have a keyboard, pointing device, and joystick remotely located from the computer, and each input device shares a single wireless communication link to send its data to the computer.
