Communication Interface System and Method

摘要

An interface system for facilitating the communication between a fitness device having a television system and a cable/satellite set top box is provided, wherein the interface system includes a first interface article and a second interface article. The first interface article is in signal communication with the television system and the second interface article is in signal communication with the first interface article and the cable/satellite set top box. The first interface article is configured to receive television control signals from the television system, identify channel control signals having Remote Control (RC) codes from the television control signals and transmit the channel control signals to the second interface article and wherein the second interface article is configured to identify the RC codes from the channel control signals, generate a processed signal containing the RC codes and transmit the processed signal to the cable/satellite set top box.
