Abstract: Embodiments utilize a camera on a universal remote control to automatically detect which device the remote is pointed at by the user. The image captured by the camera is compared to a database of images of known or preconfigured devices that can be controlled by the universal remote control. If the image captured by the camera matches an image in the database, then the universal remote control loads a specific key map for the preconfigured device from the database.

Abstract: A controlling device such as a remote control has programming for transmitting a signal response to a plurality of control environments, each environment including a signaling device. Each signaling device in receipt of the signal request sends a signal response having a unique ID which is chosen to be characteristically attenuated by the surroundings of the environment. Because the controlling device can only be in one environment at a given time, and given the attenuation characteristics of the signal response from each signaling device, only one signal response will be received by the controlling device in each environment. Location definitions associated with the received unique ID may be used by programming in the controlling device to recall saved devices states, commands sets, macros, and even to dynamically generate commands based on the location information.

Abstract translation: 诸如遥控器的控制设备具有用于向多个控制环境发送信号响应的程序，每个环境包括信令设备。 接收到信号请求的每个信令设备发送具有被环境环境特征地衰减的唯一ID的信号响应。 由于控制装置在给定的时间只能在一个环境中，并且给定每个信号装置的信号响应的衰减特性，所以每个环境中的控制装置只接收到一个信号响应。 与接收到的唯一ID相关联的位置定义可以通过在控制设备中的编程来使用，以调用保存的设备状态，命令集，宏，甚至基于位置信息来动态生成命令。

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a wireless communication device for enabling the remote control of a medical apparatus. The apparatus includes a remote control enable device comprising a transmitter and one or more switches, actuatable by enable buttons. The buttons allow an operator to close the switch(es), causing the transmitter to send a status signal related to the status (open or closed) of the switch(es), to a receiver configured to communicate said status signal to a control unit. The control unit verifies the signal on a number of criteria. When all required criteria have been met, remote control of the medical apparatus is allowed. In an embodiment the remote control enable device is configured to maintain the power supply to a transmitting chip sufficiently long, upon opening a switch, so that a check can be performed on the correct functioning of the switch after the switch has been opened.
