Abstract
System and methods are provided for configuring operation of a remote control by a display device. In one embodiment a method includes detecting user selection of an input of the display device and determining a command for the remote control based on the user selection of the input, wherein the command identifies a configuration for the remote control. The method further includes transmitting the command to the remote control, by the display device, for configuration of the remote control, wherein the configuration specifies operation of the remote control with one or more devices associated with the input.
Claims24
A method for configuring operation of a remote control by a display device, the method comprising the acts of:
- detecting user selection of an input of the display device;
- determining a command for the remote control based on the user selection of the input, wherein the command identifies a configuration for the remote control;
- and
- transmitting the command to the remote control, by the display device, for configuration of the remote control, wherein the configuration specifies operation of the remote control with one or more devices associated with the input;
- wherein the user selection of the input of the display device comprises a user selection of an input terminal of the display device.
A system comprising:
- a remote control;
- and
- a display device, the display device configured to:
- detect user selection of an input of the display device;
- determine a command for the remote control based on the user selection of the input, wherein the command identifies a configuration for the remote control;
- and
- transmit the command to the remote control, by the display device, for configuration of the remote control, wherein the configuration specifies operation of the remote control with one or more devices associated with the input
- wherein the user selection of the input of the display device comprises a user selection of an input terminal of the display device.
A display device configured to configure operation of a remote control associated with the display device, the display device comprising:
- a processor configured to
- detect a user selection of an input of the display device, and
- determine a command for the remote control based on the user selection of the input, wherein the command identifies a configuration for the remote control;
- and
- a communications module configured to transmit the command to the remote control, by the display device, for configuration of the remote control,
- wherein the configuration specifies operation of the remote control with one or more devices associated with the input and
- wherein the user selection of the input of the display device comprises a user selection of an input terminal of the display device.
