    Abstract: An item may have regions that are illuminated by light from a light source. The light source may be based on components such as light-emitting diodes. Diffusing material, luminescent material, and other light-adjusting materials may be incorporate into the item. The item may include movable structures such as movable keyboard key members. Light-emitting diodes may be mounted on a substrate. The substrate may be coupled to keyboard key members, additional substrates, or other structures in an item. The item may include a layer of fabric and layers of other material. Openings in the layers of material may be configured to receive light-emitting diodes. Opaque layers of material may have patterned openings that help define shapes for the illuminated regions.

    Abstract: Disclosed are structures, devices, methods and systems for providing dynamically variable internal illumination to individual input devices of an electronic device, such as keys of a keyboard. In some embodiments, input devices contain multiple LEDs whose light intensity may be varied to alter a tone or a color of light used for the internal illumination a key. The LEDs may be micro LEDs and may be internal components of the input device as a unit. In some embodiments, the LEDs are white light LEDs having different phosphor thicknesses. In some embodiments the LEDs may be RGB LEDs, with individual control of color contributions to modify the internal illumination. Systems incorporating such input devices may need only a reduced set of LED control units. Systems can include a processing unit and a light sensor or camera to detect ambient lighting and adjust internal illumination of an input device accordingly.

    Abstract: Utilizing remote control profile information for configuration of a remote control device. A media processing device may store a remote control profile, locally or on a server accessible via a wide area network, which may include information for configuring a remote control device to utilize one or more wireless remote control commands for controlling the media processing device. The media processing device may also detect one or more wireless remote control commands for controlling one or more other electronic devices and update the remote control profile to include information for configuring a remote control device to utilize those commands. It may be determined to configure a remote control device according to the remote control profile based at least in part on proximity of the remote control device to the media processing device. The remote control device may then be configured according to the remote control profile.

    Abstract translation: 利用遥控器配置信息配置远程控制设备。 媒体处理设备可以本地存储远程控制简档,或者可以在可通过广域网访问的服务器上存储远程控制简档,其可以包括用于配置远程控制设备以利用一个或多个无线遥控命令来控制媒体处理设备的信息。 媒体处理设备还可以检测用于控制一个或多个其他电子设备的一个或多个无线遥控命令,并更新遥控配置文件以包括用于配置远程控制设备以利用这些命令的信息。 可以至少部分地基于远程控制设备与媒体处理设备的接近度来确定根据远程控制简档配置远程控制设备。 然后可以根据遥控器配置文件配置遥控设备。
