    Abstract: A customizable and an upgradable remote control is provided which may be customized or upgraded via a Web site or through other remote, and preferabl y interactive, processes. A database is provided which includes a plurality of functions of a consumer electronic device, such as a T.V. or and DVD player. A user selects among the plurality of functions at least one of the desired functions. In response to the user selection a virtual configuration is created to virtually configure the customized remote control. The virtual configuration may be downloaded to th e customizable remote control. Preferably, the customizable remote control is provided with a plurality of preprogrammed standard keys and a plurality of configurable keys. A plurality of customized labels corresponding to the plurality of configurable keys may be provided separately or printed as part of the virtual configuration download process. More generally methods for providing a customized consumer electron ic device are disclosed, including a preferred embodiment using a touch screen remote control. In one embodiment a database of command codes operable with a hand- held device is maintained. A user is allowed to access the database via a Web sit e. The user may then download at least one of the plurality of command codes provid ed inthe selection. The hand-held device may also be utilized in an interactive environment. Such an interactive environment may include pay-per-event acces s, and the like.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for setting up a universal remote control for operation with a system having devices to be controlled such as a TV, VCR, electronics appliances, wherein the devices are preferably interconnected. One method includes the steps of having the devices to be controlled provide a listing of the capabilities of each device, recognizing a single set of standard abstract feature indicators; processing said indicators; and, mapping said indicators into specific IR codes and keys according to said list of capabilities of said controlled device. One embodiment is optimized for use with a virtual remote control, wherein only icons corresponding to related capabilities is displayed on a touch screen of the virtual remote control. Such an embodiment is particularly well suited for controlling different families of function capability associated with correspondingly different entertainment devices to achieve an integrated entertainment, or task, grouping. Reduction of the icons displayed to the user perforce reduces the apparent complexity of the remote with which the devices are controlled.
