    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for enabling a user to save and recall media playback and device setting states across multiple sets of home appliances. A set of media playback and device settings data from each home appliance of a first set of home appliances is stored on a central server and/or sent to a remote control device upon initiation of a suspend command by a user. The stored media and devices states may be used at a later time to control the first set of home appliances, or a user may, after relocating to a second set of home appliances, initiate a resume state command whereupon media playback and device settings data from the central server and/or remote control device controls each home appliance in the second set of home appliances to bring about the same or substantially similar media and device states as in the first set of home appliances. Programming on the remote control and/or central server may cause appropriate state data conversions to occur before commanding operation of the second set of home appliances in order to more closely emulate the media and device states saved from the first set of home appliances.

    摘要: A system and methods for facilitation of user interactions with an electronic device. A number of user interface methods are described and may be used alone or in combination with one another to present an enhanced interface to a user. A method of providing user interaction using a compact status indicator is described. A method for providing a virtual scroll wheel to a user for interaction with content sets is described. A method for allowing a user to dynamically modify a scalable user interface is described. A method for providing gesture based input to a user via a virtual gesture pad is described. A method of providing an interactive graphic search query interface is described. A method for indicating and selecting available content type is described.

    摘要: A configurable controlling device and associated editor program that allows a consumer to create on a personal computer for downloading to the controlling device a user interface comprised of user interface pages having icons which icons, when activated on the controlling device, cause the controlling device to perform a function, such as to transmit a command to an appliance, to change the user interface page being displayed, etc. The editor program allows for the visualization of links created between user interface pages, single step assigning of commands to logical groups of function keys (both iconic and hard keys), single step assigning of backgrounds to groups of user interface pages, and pre-rendering of user interface pages prior to the downloading of the user interface to the controlling device.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for enhanced data transfer methods within control environment for implementing functions on control devices. Generally, as a user browses content on a Content Server via a Control Point, various content sets will be concatenated by the Content Server based on an initial request from the Control Point, and all content in the content set will be sent as a single item from the Content Server to the Control Point, thus minimizing the number of message round trips and thus the protocol overhead needed to retrieve all content requested by the user. Information about the concatenated content set may be sent separately from the Content Server to the Control Point, or may be embedded in the content set as metadata, such that individual elements of the content set may be selectively displayed, controlled, and/or manipulated by the user via the Control Point.
