Abstract: A system and method for generating remote control signals to control a device while conserving power. The method includes receiving an input command for communication to the device to be controlled and determining a use context based on the input command. Based on the context determination, communication over an infrared transmitter and a radio frequency transmitter is adjusted for power savings where one transmitter is typically active. The input command may then be sent via the infrared transmitter or the radio frequency transmitter. At the completion of the usage mode, the operational states of the transmitters can be switched.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention relates to a system for enhancing reception of radio-frequency (RF) signals by an audio-video device such as a high-definition television. The system comprises an audio-video device including a radio-frequency (RF) receiver to receive incoming EF signals, and an RF reflective element. The RF reflective element is positioned to reflect RF signals towards the audio-video device. The RF reflective element is at least partially imbedded with RF reflective materials to reflect undetected, RF signals destined for the audio-video device back to the RF receiver.

Abstract: User contact information may be stored in a memory of a near-field communication integrated circuit (IC) card. Upon detecting electromagnetic energy emitted by a reader/writer device, the IC card may power on and automatically transmit the stored contact information. In one embodiment, this transmission may be preceded by an authentication operation, and the contact information may be digitally signed so that the accuracy of the contact information may be verified by its recipient. In another embodiment, the contact information may be stored in one or more of a plurality of memory sections of the IC card. Upon the IC card being activated, the contact information may be transmitted from one such memory section based on a user memory section selection.
