Abstract
A system and method for a remote state following device that includes an electronic device with a controllable operating state; an imaging device; and control system that when targeted at a control interface interprets a visual state from the control interface, and modifies the operating state in coordination with the visual state.

A system comprising:
- an electronic device with a controllable operating state;
- an imaging device that captures image data of an environment and that has an imaging resolution that isolates visual state of a targeted control interface in a field of view of the imaging device;
- a control interface that comprises a pairing identifier;
- a control system communicatively coupled to the imaging device and the electronic device, the control system comprising a visually monitored interface control mode with configuration to:
- identify the pairing identifier in the field of view of the image data and thereby detect the control interface,
- interpret a visual state of the control interface, and
- modulate the operating state in coordination with the visual state.
The system of 1, further comprising a directable housing that at least partially encases the imaging device and couples to the electronic device.

- interpret a visual state of the control interface, and
- modulate the operating state in coordination with the visual state;
- and
- the control system further comprising a pairing mode, wherein during a pairing mode, the control system is configured to detect a pairing identifier in a sub-region of the image data, and upon detection of the pairing identifier, register that sub-region for detection of the control interface.
The system of 26, further comprising a directable housing that at least partially encases the imaging device and couples to the electronic device.
