Abstract: The present system and method is particularly useful for remotely controlling a device having one or more menus via a remote touch interface having at least an unstructured primary input area. A user can provide inputs to a touch interface without needing to view the interface and yet still achieve the desired response from the remotely controlled device. The primary input area of the touch interface may or may not have a background display, such as on a touch screen, but the primary input area of the touch interface should be unstructured and should not have independently selectable items, buttons, icons or anything of the like. Since the touch interface is unstructured, the user does not have to identify any selectable buttons. Instead the user can input a gesture into the interface and watch the remotely controlled device respond. The system does not provide any other visual confirmation.

Abstract: A flexible remote control protocol is provided for user with handheld electronic devices and media systems. The handheld electronic device may have remote control functionality in addition to cellular telephone, music player, or handheld computer functionality. The handheld electronic devices may have a touch sensitive display screen. The handheld electronic devices may generate remote control signals from gestures or user input that the handheld electronic device may receive. A media system may receive the remote control signals and may take appropriate action. The handheld electronic device may receive media system state information transmitted by the media system. The handheld electronic device may generate custom display screens when the media system state information is associated with a registered screen identification that has an associated custom display template. The handheld electronic device may generate generic display screens when the media system state information is not associated with a registered screen identification.

Abstract: In a system comprising a content performance device, multiple status display devices can communicate with the performance device to receive messages updating status of content being performed by the performance device, or being transmitted to one or more other performance devices. Content performance devices can include computers configured with software for managing media libraries, for obtaining Internet-based media, as well as more purpose-specific devices, such as digital video recorders, settop boxes, Apple TV, TiVo, and so on. Status display devices, remote controls or client devices can make standing requests to receive status updates as status changes. Status display devices also can function as remote controls for the performance device, and can submit control requests to it, which when effected, are acknowledged to all status display devices, which responsively update their displays. Each status display device can interpret content sent for communicating status updates, and can make changes to a respective display, or to other features or functions according to its programming. Status display devices can include personal information managers, smart phones, laptops, palm tops and other electronic devices capable of displaying playback status information received from the content performance device.
