Intelligent user interface customization for one-handed use

A remote control device comprising:

• a memory for storing a remote control application, wherein the remote control application is configured to permit the remote control device to communicate with a media device;
• a display configured to display a user interface;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
• displaying, by the remote control application on the remote control device, an initial configuration screen responsive to launching the remote control application;
• receiving, from the media device, display information, wherein the display information comprises an input field displayed by a display device in communication with the media device, wherein the input field is associated with a streaming application;
• transitioning from the initial configuration screen to a final configuration screen responsive to receiving a user input, wherein the user input comprises a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is configured to trigger the transitioning, and wherein the final configuration screen is displayed subsequent to detecting the second part;
• displaying, by the remote control application, the final configuration screen, wherein the final configuration screen is configured to display a set of predefined user inputs, wherein the set of predefined user inputs is associated with a type of the input field;
• and
• sending a predefined user input of the one or more predefined user inputs to the media device to populate the input field.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a remote control device, cause the remote control device to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, by a remote control application on the remote control device, an initial configuration screen responsive to launching the remote control application;
• receiving, from the media device, display information, wherein the display information comprises an input field displayed by a display device in communication with the media device, wherein the input field is associated with a streaming application;
• transitioning from the initial configuration screen to a final configuration screen responsive to receiving a user input, wherein the user input comprises a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is configured to trigger the transitioning, and wherein the final configuration screen is displayed subsequent to detecting the second part;
• displaying, by the remote control application, the final configuration screen, wherein the final configuration screen is configured to display a set of predefined user inputs, wherein the set of predefined user inputs is associated with a type of the input field;
• and
• sending a predefined user input of the one or more predefined user inputs to the media device to populate the input field.
