23 Aug 2004TL;DR: In this paper, a universal remote control is adapted to receive the first data from the target device and select a command key indicia from the set of command key indicators that has a function identifier that corresponds to the function specified by the target devices.
Abstract: A remote control for communicating commands to a target device having first data that specifies a function supported by the target device. The remote control includes a set of command key indicias, stored within the universal remote control prior to any communications with the target device, each command key indicia being assigned a function identifier. The remote control is adapted to receive the first data from the target device and select a command key indicia from the set of command key indicias that has a function identifier that corresponds to the function specified by the first data. The selected command key indicia is displayable on a display of the universal remote control in association with a command key actuatable to communicate one or more commands to the target device to control the function supported by the target device that is represented by the first data.

20 Aug 2001TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for creating a controlling device is presented, in which a user specifies one or more operating criteria for the controlling device, and the system selects executable instructions from a library of executable instructions and command code sets from a command code set that are to be stored in the memory of the controlling devices.
Abstract: A system and method for creating a controlling device. In response to a user specifying one or more operating criteria for the controlling device, the system selects executable instructions from a library of executable instructions and command code sets from a library of command code sets that are to be stored in the memory of the controlling device. In addition, the system uses the criteria to suggest command key/command code mappings for use within the controlling device. The user may interact with the system to modify the selected executable instructions, command code sets, and command key/command code mappings. When stored in the memory of the controlling device, the executable instructions are to be used to perform various operations and functions within the controlling device and the command codes are to be transmitted from the controlling device to command the operation of controllable devices in response to activation of one or more of the command keys.

13 Aug 2003TL;DR: In this article, a remote control device is which key use is monitored, and a command key, representative of an appliance function, is correlated to a target appliance that is determined, as a function of the monitored key use, to be the most likely intended recipient of a command to perform that appliance function.
Abstract: A remote control device is which key use is monitored. A command key, representative of an appliance function, may be correlated to a target appliance that is determined, as a function of the monitored key use, to be the most likely intended recipient of a command to perform that appliance function. An activity key may also be programmed so as to perform a series of actions that are representative of a sequence of monitored key uses.

18 Nov 2002TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for retrieving information is presented, where a command key (12) of a platform has an operation and an address of an information source mapped thereto.
Abstract: A system and method for retrieving information. A command key (12) of a platform has an operation and an address of an information source mapped thereto. When the command key (12) is activated, the platform performs the operation and also initiates the retrieval of information from the information source using the address.

TL;DR: In this article, a computer keyboard having a plurality of Internet keys corresponding to at least a subset of an Internet-related software command set is disclosed, including a back key, forward key, an open location key, a stop load key, site list key, add site key, reload key, find key, and print key.
Abstract: A computer keyboard having a plurality of Internet keys corresponding to at least a subset of an Internet-related software command set is disclosed. In one embodiment, the plurality of Internet keys includes a back key, a forward key, an open location key, a stop load key, a site list key, an add site key, a reload key, a find key, and a print key. The Internet keys provide keyboard-actuated activation of Internet-related software such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer without the need for hot keys or the remapping of function or DOS keys.
