| 发明名称 | System and method for flexible configuration of a controlling device | ||
| 摘要 | A system and method whereby an user interface editing device is used to create a user interface for a controlling device, the created user interface including user interface elements that are associated with functional operations of a virtual equivalent of an appliance. After the created user interface is transferred to the controlling device, the virtual equivalent of an appliance is caused to be linked to an intended target appliance whereupon activation of those user interface elements of the graphical user interface that were associated with functional operations of the virtual equivalent of an appliance will cause the controlling device to transmit commands to control corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for configuring a controlling device to command functional operations of an intended target appliance, comprising: creating on an user interface editing device a generic graphical user interface for the controlling device whereupon the created, generic graphical user interface is comprised of user interface elements that are associated with functional operations of a virtual equivalent of an appliance; transferring the created, generic graphical user interface to the controlling device from the user interface editing device; receiving into the controlling device data that functions to identify the intended target appliance; and causing the controlling device to use the received data that functions to identify the intended target appliance to establish within the controlling device a link between the transferred, created, generic graphical user interface and the intended target appliance whereupon activation of those user interface elements of the transferred, created, generic graphical user interface that were associated with functional operations of the virtual equivalent of an appliance will cause the controlling device to transmit commands to control corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance. | ||
