Abstract: A remote control for communicating commands to a target device having first data that specifies a function supported by the target device. The remote control includes a set of command key indicias, stored within the universal remote control prior to any communications with the target device, each command key indicia being assigned a function identifier. The remote control is adapted to receive the first data from the target device and select a command key indicia from the set of command key indicias that has a function identifier that corresponds to the function specified by the first data. The selected command key indicia is displayable on a display of the universal remote control in association with a command key actuatable to communicate one or more commands to the target device to control the function supported by the target device that is represented by the first data.

Abstract: A signal transmission system comprising a signal conduction matrix formed into a shape that allows transmission of a signal through the matrix using at least one surface signal router, at least one signal source operatively connected to a surface of the matrix and that generates a signal that propagates through matrix, and at least one signal receiver operatively connected to a surface of the matrix and that receives the signal from the signal source. The signal may be coded, modulated, frequency-converted, or amplified. The surface signal router can be a reflective coating, an indentation, a pressure fit structure, or at least one inclined cut on the surface of the matrix. A frequency-selective filter can be used to allow selective detection by a target signal receiver. The invention is also directed to various method of transmitting a signal using a signal conduction matrix.

Abstract: A system and process for selecting objects in an ubiquitous computing environment where various electronic devices are controlled by a computer via a network connection and the objects are selected by a user pointing to them with a wireless RF pointer. By a combination of electronic sensors onboard the pointer and external calibrated cameras, a host computer equipped with an RF transceiver decodes the orientation sensor values transmitted to it by the pointer and computes the orientation and 3D position of the pointer. This information, along with a model defining the locations of each object in the environment that is associated with a controllable electronic component, is used to determine what object a user is pointing at so as to select that object for further control actions.
