Method and apparatus to transmit infrared signals generated from a computer application using a remote device

摘要

A method for remotely controlling operations of a target system using a host computer system includes displaying one or more applications executing in the host computer system on a remote controller system. A wireless connection is established between the remote controller system and the host computer system. The remote controller system causes an application executing in the host computer system to issue at least one command to control operations of the target system. The commands are received by the remote controller system and translated into IR signals. IR pulses associated with the IR signals are transmitted by the remote controller system to the target system.
