Abstract
A system includes a networked device is programmed to transmit, to one or more second networked devices, a request to locate a remote control device of the networked device. Based on the responses to the request, the networked device is further programmed to provide an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device.
Claims22
A system comprising:
- a networked device including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the processor is programmed to:
- transmit a first request to at least one second networked device to transmit a second request to a remote control device of the networked device to send a return signal;
- and
- provide an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device, based on at least one response to the first request.

A system comprising:
- a networked device, including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the processor is programmed to:
- transmit, to a remote control device for the networked device, a first request to locate the remote control device;
- wait a predetermined amount of time for a response to the first request;
- transmit, to at least one second networked device, upon failing to receive the response to the first request within the predetermined amount of time, a second request to transmit a third request to the remote control device to send a return signal;
- and
- provide an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device based on at least one response to the second request.
3 more elements
A method, implemented by a networked device including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, comprising:
- transmitting a first request to at least one second networked device to send a second request to a remote control device of the networked device to send a return signal;
- and
- providing an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device, based on at least one response to the first request.
