Abstract
The invention relates to the adaptation of the functionalities of a remote control in a local area network. More specifically, it relates to the definition of commands to be sent upon an input of a user, depending either of the commands that can be sent in a RF network joined by the remote control, or of the commands that can be received by a device that the remote control is bound to in a RF network.
Claims8
A first device comprising:
- a communication link to a RF network compliant with a communication standard;
- a processor;
- an input unit to receive inputs from a user;
- a memory storing a table of data representative of a plurality of commands to send to the RF network comprising a first set of commands belonging to said communication standard and a second set of commands not belonging to said communication standard;
- the processor being configured to:
- use the communication link to send to a second device in the RF network a message compliant with said communication standard to join the RF network, said message to join the RF network comprising optional metadata;
- use the communication link to receive a response message from the second device, said response message comprising, if commands from the second set of commands are allowed by the RF network, optional response metadata;
- associate, based on said response metadata, to an input type of the input unit, a command from the second set of commands if the commands from the second set of commands are allowed by the RF network and a command from the first set of commands otherwise;
- upon an input of said input type from the user, use the communication link to send to the RF network a message with said associated command.

A method comprising:
- accessing a memory storing a table of data representative of a plurality of commands to send to a RF network compliant with a communication standard, sad plurality of commands comprising a first set of commands belonging to said communication standard and a second set of commands not belonging to said communication standard;
- using a communication link of a first device to a-the RF network-to send a message compliant with said communication standard to join the RF network, said message to join the RF network comprising optional metadata;
- using the communication link to receive a response message from the second device, said response message comprising, if commands from the second set of commands are allowed by the RF network, optional response metada;
- associating, based on said response metadata, to an input type of an input unit of the first device, a command from the second set of commands if the commands from the second set of commands are allowed by the RF network and a command from the first set of commands otherwise;
- upon an input of said input type from the user, using the communication link to send to the RF network a message with said associated command.
2 more elements
A computer program product comprising computer code instructions stored on a non-transitory computer storage medium, wherein when the computer code instructions when executed by one or more processor, configured the one or more processor to:
- access a memory storing a table of data representative of a plurality of commands to send to a RF network compliant with a communication standard, sad plurality of commands comprising a first set of commands belonging to said communication standard and a second set of commands not belonging to said communication standard;
- use a communication link of a first device to the RF network to send a message compliant with said communication standard to join the RF network, said message to join the RF network comprising optional metadata;
- use the communication link to receive a response message from the second device, said response message comprising, if commands from the second set of commands are allowed by the RF network, optional response metadata;
- associate, based on said response metadata, to an input type of an input unit of the first device, a command from the second set of commands if the commands from the second set of commands are allowed by the RF network and a command from the first set of commands otherwise;
- upon an input of said input type from the user, use the communication link to send to the RF network a message with said associated command.
