There are a number of potential inventions here, depending on the matters you may have a number of ways to go. My advice to you is seek competent counsel of a registered patent attorney to assist you in this matter. You can find people in your area by going to the uspto.gov and searching the attorney register.

Good luck!

Contact an intellectual property attorney, most of whom handle both copyright and patent matters. Most counties have an attorney referral service associated with their local county bar association. You can find it by doing an internet search for your county bar association.
