    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: A method for processing key value information of a remote control, a control device, and a remote control are provided. The present application can avoid a problem, in the prior art, of reduced operation efficiency and reduced operation reliability caused by the need of simultaneous operations on two remote controls. By using the technical solution provided by this embodiment of the present invention, it may be implemented that another remote control is synchronously set by performing operations on one remote control and displaying, by using a display device, a to-be-learned button on the another remote control, which is easy to operate and thereby improves operation efficiency and operation reliability.
