发明名称 Systems and methods for programming a remote control device
摘要 A method for programming a first remote control device associated with a first electronic device that includes receiving, by the first electronic device, a first electronic command signal issued from a second remote control device. The first electronic command signal includes a key code indicative of a first key entry on the second remote control device. The first electronic device accesses a key code database, which stores a plurality of key code sets, and each of the plurality of key code sets has a plurality of key codes for controlling at least one electronic device. The first electronic device compares the received first key code to the key code database to identify matching key code sets including the first key code. The first electronic device analyzes the matching key code sets to identify a preferred next key entry, and prompts a user of the second remote control device to press a key on the second remote control device corresponding to the identified preferred next key entry.

主权项 1. A method for programming a first remote control device associated with a first electronic device, comprising: receiving, by the first electronic device, a first electronic command signal issued from a second remote control device, the first electronic command signal including a key code indicative of a first key entry on the second remote control device, the second remote control device being associated with a second electronic device; accessing, by the first electronic device, a key code database, the key code database storing a plurality of key code sets, each of the plurality of key code sets having a plurality of key codes for controlling at least one electronic device; comparing, by the first electronic device, a received first key code to the key code database to identify matching key code sets including the first key code; analyzing, by the first electronic device, the matching key code sets to identify a preferred next key entry prompting a user of the second remote control device to press a key on the second remote control device corresponding to the identified preferred next key entry; identifying a key code set which corresponds to all of the available key entries that the second remote control may output by repeating the comparing, analyzing, and prompting steps until a sufficient number of keys has been identified to know the entire key code set that matches the key code set that controls the second electronic device; and programming the first remote control with the second key code set that permits the first remote control to control both the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
