    Abstract: In response to a detected presence of an intended target appliance within a logical topography of controllable appliances identity information associated with the intended target appliance is used to automatically add to a graphical user interface of a controlling device an icon representative of the intended target appliance and to create at a Universal Control Engine a listing of communication methods for use in controlling corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance. When the icon is later activated, the controlling device is placed into an operating state appropriate for controlling functional operations of the intended target appliance while the Universal Control Engine uses at least one of the communication methods to transmit at least one command to place the intended target appliance into a predetermined operating state.

    Abstract: A controlling device is provided with the ability to present personalized program guide information by using personal preferences provided to a home computing device. The personal preferences are used to filter program guide data received at the home computing device whereby the program guide data will include only programming information for user-specified sources of programming for each of plural, different user-specified periods of time. The filtered program guide data is then downloaded to the controlling device from the home computing device for use in connection with an application of the controlling device that functions to display program guide information within a display of the controlling device.

    Abstract translation: 控制装置具有通过使用提供给家庭计算设备的个人偏好来呈现个性化节目指南信息的能力。 个人偏好用于过滤在家庭计算设备处接收到的节目指南数据,由此节目指南数据将仅包括用于用户指定的多个不同用户指定的时间段中的每一个节目的编程信息。 滤波后的节目指南数据然后从家庭计算设备下载到控制设备,以便与用于在控制设备的显示器内显示节目指南信息的控制设备的应用相结合使用。
