METHOD OF CONFIGURING A CONSUMER ELECTRONICS APPARATUS

摘要

The configuring of consumer electronics (CE) (102) equipment by the consumer is facilitated by means of delegating the configuring to an application server (110) on the Internet. The consumer enters his/her preferences in a specific interactive Web page through a suitable user-interface (108) of an Internet-enabled device (104), such as a PC or set-top box or digital cellphone. The application server generates the control data based on the preferences entered and downloads the control data to the CE equipment itself or to the Internet-enabled device.
