Abstract: A universal remote control (20) is adapted to receive a voice input via a receiver (42). The voice input is received by the remote control (20) and is compared with a plurality of voice command templates that are stored in the memory (45) of the remote control. If the voice input matches one or more of the plurality of voice command templates, a valid voice input has been received by the remote control. Valid voice input may be a remote control command or keystroke data input as an entire word or as individual characters. In response to a valid voice input, the remote control (20) may transmit an operation or command code and/or alpha numeric symbol code corresponding to keystroke data to a consumer electronic device (22).

Abstract: The method involves assigning an effects observable command from each of a number of command sets to one of the number of assignable user actuated switches or keys. Each assigned, effects observable command may be transmitted when the corresponding one of assignable user actuated switches or keys is actuated. Each of assignable user actuated switches or keys sequentially and individually actuated, to individually transmit each assigned effects observable command until the proper effect is observed. Actuating of the assignable user actuated switches or keys is halted and the remote control is set to transmit future remote control commands from the command set containing the last transmitted effects observable command.

Abstract: A system and method for using a remote control device to simulate a skip search operation on a consumer appliance playing a recorded media. In response to a sensed activation of a skip search button, the remote control transmits at least one recorded media shuttle command to the consumer appliance and, after waiting a period of time, transmits an additional command to the consumer appliance to cause the recorded media to resume playback at a standard speed. When the media shuttle command is a fast forward command, the simulated skip search is effective for forwarding past timed portions of the recorded media. When the media shuttle command is a rewind command, the simulated skip search is effective for replaying timed portions of the recorded media.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a remote control (220) to command the operation of appliances (226), to capture demographic data, and to provide services, such as automated warranty registration, instructions, viewing guides, etc., relevant to the appliances is provided. The system includes a database and associated server (300) that are located remotely from the remo te control and accessible via a network connection. Command codes, graphical us er interface elements, and services are accessed and downloaded to the remote control (220), as appropriate, using data supplied to the server that identifies the appliances and/or functional capabilities of the appliances. This data can be supplied by the appliances directly or can be obtained from other sources such as barcode labels, network devices, etc.

Abstract: In response to receiving input from the user requesting that the program be recorded, data indicative of the recording request is stored in the portable device. Then, when it is determined that the portable device is able to establish communication with the appliance either directly or via an intermediate PC, the data indicative to the recording request is provided to the appliance to effect the recording of the program.
