Abstract: A system and method for configuring a remote control to command the operatio n of appliances, to capture demographic data, and to provide services, such as automated warranty registration, instructions, viewing guides, etc., relevan t to the appliances is provided. The system includes a database and associated server that are located remotely from the remote control and accessible via network connection. Command codes, graphical user interface elements, and services are accessed and downloaded to the remote control, as appropriate, using data supplied to the server that indentifies 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: A system and method for upgrading remote control application resident on a device. To this end, a markup language file is created. The markup language file has a representation of information used to setup the remote control application to communicate with an appliance. The markup language file may be executed, on the device or an intermediate client with which the device is synchronized, to upload the representation of the information to a remote server. At the remote server, the uploaded information is used to automatically display user-selectable, downloadable data files relevant to the control of the appliance. Downloaded data files, which may include command codes and/or graphical user interface elements, may be used within the device to upgrade the ability of the remote control application to communicate with the appliance. The information uploaded to the server may also be used to generate demographic data regarding consumer preferences.

Abstract: A system and method for upgrading remote control application resident on a device. A markup language file is created, containing a representation of information used to setup the remote control application to communicate with an appliance. The markup language files may be executed, on the device or an intermediate client with which the device is synchronized, to upload the representation of the information to a remote server (Figure 2). At the remo te server, the uploaded information is used to automatically display user- selectable, downloadable data files relevant to the control of the device (Figure 2, item 51). Downloaded data files, which may include command codes and/or graphical user interface elements, may be used within the device to upgrade the ability of the remote control application to communicate with th e appliance. The information uploaded to the server may also be used to genera te demographic data regarding consumer preferences.
