Wireless communication system, method, and computer program product

Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for transmitting wireless signals to one or more portable devices. In use, a plurality or wireless signals is received utilizing a plurality of protocols. In addition, the plurality of protocols associated with the plurality of wireless signals are converted to a single different protocol. Further, the plurality of wireless signals is transmitted to at least one portable device utilizing the single different protocol.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving a plurality of wireless signals utilizing a plurality of protocols;   converting the plurality of protocols associated with the plurality of wireless signals to multiple different protocols, where each instance of the different protocols correlates to at least two of the plurality of protocols; and   transmitting the plurality of wireless signals to a first uniquely identifiable portable device associated with a first user and a second uniquely identifiable portable device associated with a second user, utilizing the multiple different protocols.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein content is embodied on the plurality of wireless signals. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content includes at least one of video, audio, text, and data. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the multiple different protocols utilize less power than each of the plurality of protocols. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the multiple different protocols include Bluetooth. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the multiple different protocols include a wireless universal serial bus protocol. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein radio frequencies of the multiple different protocols have a lower range than radio frequencies of each of the plurality of protocols. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wireless signals is received at a base device. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the base device is portable. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the base device is wirelessly charged. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the wireless charging utilizes solar power. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the wireless charging utilizes radio frequency power. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the base device is coupled to a car. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the base device is coupled to apparel. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the received wireless signals include a first wireless signal including first content intended for delivery to the first uniquely identifiable portable device associated with the first user and a second wireless signal including second content intended for delivery to the second uniquely identifiable portable device associated with the second user. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wireless signals transmitted to the first uniquely identifiable portable device and the second uniquely identifiable portable device is multiplexed. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the uniquely identifiable portable devices includes one of a personal digital assistant, a mobile phone, a navigation device, a laptop computer, a game device, and a watch. 
     
     
         18 . A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:
 code for receiving a plurality of wireless signals utilizing a plurality of protocols;   code for converting the plurality of protocols associated with the plurality of wireless signals to multiple different protocols, where each instance of the different protocols correlates to at least two of the plurality of protocols; and   code for transmitting the plurality of wireless signals to a first uniquely identifiable portable device associated with a first user and a second uniquely identifiable portable device associated with a second user, utilizing the multiple different protocols.   
     
     
         19 . A system, comprising:
 a base device for:
 receiving a plurality of wireless signals utilizing a plurality of protocols; 
 converting the plurality of protocols associated with the plurality of wireless signals to multiple different protocols, where each instance of the different protocols correlates to at least two of the plurality of protocols; and 
 transmitting the plurality of wireless signals to a first uniquely identifiable portable device associated with a first user and a second uniquely identifiable portable device associated with a second user, utilizing the multiple different protocols. 
   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , further comprising an object to which the base device is attached.
