Abstract
Computer readable media, methods and apparatuses may be configured for establishing a communication session between a computing device (e.g., a display device) and a remote control device using a signaling frequency. The computing device and the remote control device may be paired based on a pairing request and a pairing response message. The pairing request may comprise address data of the remote control device and address data of the computing device.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- sending, by a remote control device and to a computing device, a data packet comprising:
- identifier data that identifies an alternative signaling frequency, wherein the identifier data is located subsequent to an end marker in the data packet, and
- address data of the remote control device;
- receiving, by the remote control device, a pairing request comprising:
- the address data of the remote control device, and
- address data of the computing device;
- sending, by the remote control device, a pairing response message;
- and
- based on the pairing response message, establishing a communication session, with the computing device, using the alternative signaling frequency.

A remote control device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the remote control device to:
- send, to a computing device, a data packet comprising:
- identifier data that identifies an alternative signaling frequency, wherein the identifier data is located subsequent to an end marker in the data packet, and
- address data of the remote control device;
- receive a pairing request comprising:
- the address data of the remote control device, and
- address data of the computing device;
- send a pairing response message;
- and
- based on the pairing response message, establish a communication session, with the computing device, using the alternative signaling frequency.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- sending, by a remote control device and to a computing device, a data packet comprising:
- identifier data that identifies an alternative signaling frequency, wherein the identifier data is located subsequent to an end marker in the data packet, and
- address data of the remote control device;
- receiving, by the remote control device, a pairing request comprising:
- the address data of the remote control device, and
- address data of the computing device;
- sending, by the remote control device, a pairing response message;
- and
- based on the pairing response message, establishing a communication session, with the computing device, using the alternative signaling frequency.
