Abstract
In one embodiment, a system, comprising at least a first video source device, at least a first remote control device, a digital display device comprising logic to receive, in a digital display device, a signal to initiate an aggregation process, in response to the signal, enumerate at least a first video source device coupled to the digital display device, obtain, from the at least a first video source device, a first remote control code table, merge the first remote control table into a master remote control table, receive in the primary interface device manager, a user interface database from the secondary interface device manager, and store the master remote control table in memory.
Claims19
A method to manage a user interface in a digital display device, comprising:
- receiving, in a digital display device, a signal to initiate an aggregation process;
- in response to the signal, enumerating at least a first video source device coupled to the digital display device;
- obtaining, from the at least a first video source device, a first remote control code table;
- merging the first remote control code table into a master remote control table;
- and
- storing the master remote control table in memory.
A system, comprising:
- at least a first video source device;
- at least a first remote control device
- a digital display device comprising logic to;
- receive, in a digital display device, a signal to initiate an aggregation process;
- in response to the signal, enumerate at least a first video source device coupled to the digital display device;
- obtain, from the at least a first video source device, a first remote control code table;
- merge the first remote control code table into a master remote control table;
- and
- store the master remote control table in memory.
A computer program product comprising logic instructions stored on a computer-readable medium which, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to:
- receive, in a digital display device, a signal to initiate an aggregation process;
- in response to the signal, enumerate at least a first video source device coupled to the digital display device;
- obtain, from the at least a first video source device, a first remote control code table;
- merge the first remote control code table into a master remote control table;
- and
- store the master remote control table in memory.
