PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a virtual remote control by displaying control function icons of peripherals on a screen of a television. SOLUTION: Control function icons are displayed in large font, high brightness icons as an overlay on a television screen. There are a number of the graphic icon sets that may be assigned, one to each device in the system that has a remote controller. The user may then select the set of icons for the device to be controlled, select the function desired, and the control function code is sent to the infrared receiver of the device to be controlled. This virtual remote controller is maintained in non-volatile memory within the television. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
