    Abstract: A system and method for upgrading remote control application resident on a device. To this end, a markup language file is created. The markup language file has a representation of information used to setup the remote control application to communicate with an appliance. The markup language file may be executed, on the device or an intermediate client with which the device is synchronized, to upload the representation of the information to a remote server. At the remote server, the uploaded information is used to automatically display user-selectable, downloadable data files relevant to the control of the appliance. Downloaded data files, which may include command codes and/or graphical user interface elements, may be used within the device to upgrade the ability of the remote control application to communicate with the appliance. The information uploaded to the server may also be used to generate demographic data regarding consumer preferences.

    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 translation: 用于向具有指定目标设备支持的功能的第一数据的目标设备传送命令的遥控器。 远程控制包括在与目标设备进行任何通信之前存储在通用遥控器内的一组命令密钥指示符,每个命令密钥标记被分配有功能标识符。 遥控器适于从目标设备接收第一数据,并从具有与由第一数据指定的功能相对应的功能标识符的命令键指示集合中选择命令密钥标记。 所选择的命令密钥标记可与通用遥控器的显示器相关联地显示,该命令键可致动以将一个或多个命令传送到目标设备,以控制由第一数据表示的目标设备所支持的功能。
