Remote Control Configuration using a Remote Control Profile

摘要

Utilizing remote control profile information for configuration of a remote control device. A media processing device may store a remote control profile, locally or on a server accessible via a wide area network, which may include information for configuring a remote control device to utilize one or more wireless remote control commands for controlling the media processing device. The media processing device may also detect one or more wireless remote control commands for controlling one or more other electronic devices and update the remote control profile to include information for configuring a remote control device to utilize those commands. It may be determined to configure a remote control device according to the remote control profile based at least in part on proximity of the remote control device to the media processing device. The remote control device may then be configured according to the remote control profile.

主权项

1. A media processing device, comprising:
wireless communication circuitry, comprising one or more antennas configured for wireless communication; a processing element operably coupled to the wireless communication circuitry; wherein the wireless communication circuitry and the processing element are configured to: detect a wireless remote control command for controlling a home entertainment device; transmit, responsive to detection of the wireless remote control command, one or more messages to a server via a wide area network (WAN),
wherein the one or more messages include a representation of the detected wireless remote control command, andwherein the one or messages cause the server to perform an update of a remote control profile stored by the server, wherein the update of the remote control profile includes an addition of information to the remote control profile for configuring a remote control device to utilize the detected wireless remote control command to control the home entertainment device.
