    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 preferably 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 the 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 electronic 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 site. The user may then download at least one of the plurality of command codes provided in the selection. The hand-held device may also be utilized in an interactive environment. Such an interactive environment may include pay-per-event access, and the like.

    Abstract translation: 提供可定制和可升级的遥控器,可以通过网站或通过其他远程,最好是交互式的过程对其进行定制或升级。 提供了包括消费电子设备的多个功能的数据库,例如T.V.或DVD播放器。 用户在多个功能中选择至少一个所需功能。 响应于用户选择,创建虚拟配置以虚拟配置定制遥控器。 虚拟配置可以下载到可定制的遥控器。 优选地,可定制遥控器配备有多个预编程标准键和多个可配置键。 对应于多个可配置密钥的多个定制标签可以被单独提供或者被打印为虚拟配置下载过程的一部分。 更一般地公开了用于提供定制的消费电子设备的方法,包括使用触摸屏遥控器的优选实施例。 在一个实施例中,维护可与手持设备一起操作的命令代码的数据库。 用户可以通过网站访问数据库。 用户然后可以下载选择中提供的多个命令代码中的至少一个。 手持设备也可以用在交互式环境中。 这样的交互式环境可以包括按事件付费的访问等。

    Abstract: A circuit for encoding and decoding key input data from a matrix of switches with a single transmission wire. The circuit for encoding and decoding key input data with a single transmission wire includes a control circuit, a charge storage circuit and a keyboard matrix circuit. The keyboard matrix circuit is composed of a group of resistors connected in series. Each resistor is coupled to ground via a manually actuated switch. When one of the switches is actuated or closed the switch provides an electrical path to ground through the resistors that precede the switch and shorts the resistors that follow the switch. When one of the switches is closed the charge stored on the charge storage circuit dissipates through the electrical path to ground provided by the actuated switch, at a rate related to the sum of the resistance preceding the switch. The control circuit, by monitoring the time for a charge stored on the charge storage circuit to dissipate through an actuated switch coupled to ground, determines which switch was actuated.
