AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology describes how people can access their own computer through different types of devices like keyboards or mice instead of having them interact with each others' computers directly by controlling it remotely via buttons or touchs. It also explains why users are more likely than non-users when accessing their machines over these interfaces without being aware they belong specifically for themselves.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution describes a method called "remote access," where users connect directly to a master console without having full participation. Users download client applications onto mobile phones or personal digital recordings stored locally within servers connected to wireless networks. They manually input parameters when selecting icons corresponding to certain apps installed on the host machines. Additionally, if multiple versions of the original equipment were needed, the user must remember everything before connecting again. Overall, existing methods involve complicated manual operations and often lead to inconsistencies among components.

Embodiment Construction

[0052]The remote control of the present invention, and methods of its use, will first be described in terms of its functionality and associated software, and the hardware components will be described thereafter.

[0053]The actual software may be written in any convenient programming language or languages, and preferably comprises an underlying system control component and an application interface component. The system component controls the execution of the actual commands necessary to control consumer devices. It controls the storage, access, and other data management tasks necessary for proper functioning. Preferably, a relational database of entries is maintained, each entry describing multiple features of a particular title or program, such as the time of day of its showing, which source device it is derived from (TV, satellite, etc.), which artists are featured, and what category it belongs to (comedy, drama, sports, etc.). Some of the fields are not applicable to all types of entri

Abstract

A remote control uses IR (infrared) commands to control various consumer appliances made by various manufactures. The remote control is low-cost, consumer-friendly, programmable, has its own graphical display so it does not interfere with a TV or other viewing screen, and is capable of interacting with the internet or other data source to provide a rich set of functionality.
