SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURABLE REMOTE CONTROL

摘要

The invention relates to a computer program, enabling remote control of any apparatus of a predefined first set by any control device of a predefined second set, said computer program comprising means for inputting remote control capabilities of a control device and an apparatus; and means to configure, based on said input, the arrangement of the control device and the apparatus, in order to adapt control data and transmit such adapted control data from said control device to said apparatus for remote control of said apparatus. The invention is designed for mastering a variety of heterogeneous devices with respect to their control capabilities and/or requirements while being scalable, and therefore an optimal design in terms of re-use of code, by performing abstractions and derivation from generic components. The invention achieves a natural way of user interaction with distant processes by grouping different types of instructions, represented in user friendly formats.
