Abstract: A controlling device (10) location determination system and method. A controlling device (10) such as a remote control has programming for transmitting a signal response to a plurality of control environments (100, 130, 140), each environment including a signaling device. Each signaling device in receipt of the signal request sends a signal response having a unique ID (associated with location definitions relating to the environment from which he signaling device is located) which is chosen to be characteristically attenuated by the surroundings of the environment (i.e., IR signals in a room). Because the controlling device (10) can only be in one environment at a given time, and given the attenuation characteristics of the signal response from each signaling device, only one signal response will be received by the controlling device (10) in each environment (100). Location definitions associated with the received unique ID may be used by programming in the controlling device to recall saved devices states, commands sets, macros, and even to dynamically generate commands based on the location information.

Abstract translation: 一种控制装置（10）位置确定系统和方法。 诸如遥控器的控制设备（10）具有用于向多个控制环境（100,130,140）发送信号响应的程序，每个环境包括信令设备。 接收到信号请求的每个信令装置发送信号响应，该信号响应具有唯一的ID（与其信令装置所在的环境有关的位置定义），其被选择为被环境环境特征性衰减（即， 室内IR信号）。 由于控制装置（10）只能在给定时间处于一个环境中，并且给定来自每个信号装置的信号响应的衰减特性，所以每个环境中的控制装置（10）将仅接收一个信号响应 100）。 与接收到的唯一ID相关联的位置定义可以通过在控制设备中的编程来使用，以调用保存的设备状态，命令集，宏，甚至基于位置信息来动态生成命令。
