    Abstract: Aspects include systems, computer readable media and methods for remotely updating properties of Audio/Visual (A/V) performance nodes that can receive A/V content through a wireless network from a central content source. The central content source can maintain information about properties of such nodes, providing such information to a device configured with remote control software, upon request. The remote control device can accept user inputs relating to properties updates, indications of such being provided to the central content source for distribution to nodes whose properties were updated. Examples of updatable properties include on/off toggling, and volume controls. Updating such properties can be protected by passwords. The central content source can be configured as software executing on a personal computer operable to communicate over the Internet for obtaining access to streaming and/or downloadable A/V content. Remote control device examples include phones that can be networked to receive node properties data, obtain user inputs affecting such data, and transmit that data back to the central source.

    Abstract translation: 方面包括系统,计算机可读介质和用于远程更新通过无线网络从中央内容源接收A / V内容的音频/视频(A / V)性能节点的属性的方法。 中心内容源可以维护关于这种节点的属性的信息,根据请求向配置有远程控制软件的设备提供这样的信息。 远程控制设备可以接受与属性更新相关的用户输入,这种指示被提供给中央内容源以分发给其属性被更新的节点。 可更新属性的示例包括开/关切换和音量控制。 更新这些属性可以通过密码来保护。 中央内容源可以被配置为在个人计算机上执行的软件,其可操作以通过因特网通信以获得对流传输和/或可下载的A / V内容的访问。 远程控制设备示例包括可以联网以接收节点属性数据的电话,获得影响这样的数据的用户输入,并将该数据发送回中心源。
