PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION:
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides a method and system to adjust wall mounted television fixer. More particularly, the invention relates to the remotely operated wall mounted television fixer including motor(s) for adjusting height and viewing angle of the television in order to avoid neck or eye strain.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Conventional television wall mounting systems require a high degree of skill in mounting the system to a wall or other supporting structures and then securing the TV on the mount. The resulting installation is likely to be offset from the ideal position. Further, the mounting bracket allows the manufacture's television system to be mounted in only one mode of mounting, such as wall mount or stand mount. It is therefore desirable to have a universal TV support and mounting kit that accommodates the principal varieties of TVs that have to be mounted, namely CRT type, and two panel types (plasma and LCD), in a single kit. It is especially desired to have a kit that allows the consumer to employ any of the three modes of support, namely stand mount, console mount and wall mount.
A flat panel television can be quickly mounted on the wall with a wall mount, because of its slim form, and minimum amount of space required, it is welcomed by many people; particularly suitable for many areas such as living spaces at home, airport terminals, hotel lobbies, or hospital wards, etc. During the installation, the wall mount is first attached to the wall, and the flat panel television is then hung on the wall mount, securing the flat panel television to the wall. Since the flat panel television is attached to the wall mount that is fixed to the wall, the screen of the flat panel display remains immobile and cannot extend out or retract back to the wall, so the viewer cannot watch at an optimum viewing distance; it is also not possible to pan sideways or tilt up or down, therefore the viewer cannot watch at an optimum viewing angle, making it inconvenient to the user, which makes people tired to watch, especially for sick and elderly people more likely to cause disease in bed.
Flat panel displays have become an increasingly popular substitute for projection devices and CRT's. The flat panel display is typically mounted on a structure, such as a wall. Flat panel displays, especially LCD displays, are typically most clearly viewable from a position directly in front of the display. The display image is often too dark or not visible at all if viewed from a significant angle. It is thus preferable that the angle of a flat panel display can be adjusted for optimum viewing. Various prior art positioning devices have been used, such as friction based hinges, mechanical linkages with springs or other biasing devices, and various mechanical latches.
The friction based devices need to be sufficiently strong to hold a relatively heavy flat panel displays, while being easy to operate. Traditional friction based devices and mechanical latches often require one person to hold the flat panel display at the correct angle, while a second person adjusts the device. Movement in the upward direction requires the operator to lift a substantial portion of the weight of the flat panel display. In some instances, the operator must also overcome the resistance of the positioning device. Also, the hinge and pivot joints used in prior devices typically enable positioning of the display about only one axis per joint. The degree of display position adjustability of such devices is limited by the number of joints that can be economically and practically provided.
In conventional wall mounted television fixer, it is not possible to adjust the height at the same time the viewing angle of the television simultaneously using remote device. In this respect, the remotely adjustable wall mounted television fixer according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides a system and method primarily developed for the purpose of allowing a user to remotely adjust height and viewing angle of a television.
