Abstract: A method of changing an association of a remote control device from a first electronic device to a second electronic device is presented. In the method, a command for an electronic device is generated and transmitted by the remote control device. At this point, the remote control device is associated with the first electronic device to control the first electronic device, and the remote control device is not associated with the second electronic device. If an acknowledgment of the command is not received, a request to associate the remote control device with another electronic device is transmitted. A reply to the request is then received from the second electronic device. In response to the reply, the remote control device is disassociated from the first electronic device and associated with the second electronic device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, methods and apparatus are provided for changing an operational mode of a remote control (106) for a controlled device (102). A remote control queries a controlled device (402) to determine the operating state of the controlled device (404). Responsive to determining the operating state of the controlled device, the remote control determines whether to enter an active mode state and/or limited power mode state (408). Components of the remote control may then be commanded to enter a selected operating mode state depending on whether the components are utilized by the present operational state of the controlled device.
