CUSTOM BRANDING OF HOST APPLICATION BASED ON DISTRIBUTED STORAGE OF GRAPHICS ELEMENTS IN THE ATTACHED ACCESSORY

摘要

A system and method for custom branding a host application executed on a host device. The host device couples with an accessory device, where a host application is provided for managing/controlling the accessory device. During run time, i.e., when the accessory device is coupled with the host device, the host device can retrieve at least one resource object in which graphical user interface elements associated with the accessory device type have been encoded or preconfigured. The host device can then render the host application with the graphical user interface elements, effectively custom branding the host application.
