    Abstract: Intuitive methods of automatically configuring a remote control for multiple electronic devices are disclosed. The remote control can be automatically configured with the help of a first electronic device that is connected to one or more additional electronic devices. The first electronic device aids in the configuration of the remote control by gathering information about the one or more additional electronic devices and configuring the remote control in accordance. The information about the one or more additional electronic devices may be gathered from the devices themselves, from additional remote controls associated with the devices, and/or from a user, among other possibilities.

    Abstract: The remote control-finding device is a GPS based system that is used to locate household goods, include the remote controls for various audio visual devices, within a home. The remote control-finding device comprises a locating device and a plurality of tracking devices. The locating device is removably attached to a stationary item, such as a television, within the household while the each of the plurality of tracking devices are attached to the household good to be tracked. The locating device is fitted with a first GPS receiver that is used to track the position of the locating device. To find a tracked household good, the locating device queries an individual tracking device to receive the GPS location of the individual tracking device and uses that information to calculate the direction and distance from the locating device to the individual tracking device.
