Infrared Bluetooth USB

So much can be done using the new technologies. But my mind can never get into a inventive mode. All I can think of are small small applications. One such that came to my mind yesterday -
 
TVs are control remotely through infra-red rays. All that the infra-red rays do is to send a signal at a certain frequency to the TV's sensor which then sends it as an electrical signal to the chip inside the TV for taking appropriate action based on the current. Same time, LCD TVs have come up with USB connections through which PCs can be connected, such that TVs can be used as monitors. I am not exactly sure how the signals are fed through the USB port and the normal cables simultaneously, but its good that it can be done.
Bluetooth can be used to connect between two devices that are at close proximity wirelessly to avoid clutter of wires.
Since all these are available, why not load programs/games into USB devices and plug into the TV, put a IR sensor on top of the TV IR sensor and use bluetooth to carry signal frmo the IR sensor to the USB device to run the programs through the remote? You can play small games, load softwares, watch movies. Whatd'ya think?
