Abstract: The disclosure relates to the control of a lighting system illuminating a space such as a room. The controller receives signals from a mobile user terminal, including an indication of a user input entered by a user via an on-screen user interface of the mobile user terminal. The controller is also able to determine a position from which the user input was entered by the user. Further, each of a plurality of discrete control policies is associated with a respective positional demarcation within the space in question, where each control policy defines a respective type of response of the illumination to one or more on-screen elements of the lighting-control user interface. Based on this association, the controller selects one of the control policies associated with the determined position. The controller then controls the lighting system to provide the illumination in accordance with the response defined by the selected control policy.

Abstract: The system, method and device for enabling remote-control of consumer electronic devices is disclosed. The system may comprise a docking station. The docking station may comprise an infrared receiving module and Micro-controller unit (MCU). The pre-processor of the infrared receiving module or the processor of the MCU may demodulate the one or more input control signals received from an input control device or a first communication device respectively. The pre-processor or the processor may modulate the one or more input control signals demodulated to obtain one or more modulated control signals. Further, the processor may retrieve one or more infrared codes from a preconfigured database based upon the one or more modulated control signals. The processor may transmit the one or more infrared codes to one or more consumer electronics device in order to remotely control the one or more consumer electronic devices.

Abstract: Embodiments utilize a camera on a universal remote control to automatically detect which device the remote is pointed at by the user. The image captured by the camera is compared to a database of images of known or preconfigured devices that can be controlled by the universal remote control. If the image captured by the camera matches an image in the database, then the universal remote control loads a specific key map for the preconfigured device from the database.
