Abstract

Both an on screen display and a physical programmable remote control have buttons whose functionality may be dynamically reassigned in accordance with a user's navigation through menu levels, states or across different services. The physical programmable remote control, in conjunction with a TV or other video display, provides an intuitive, heads up experience for the user and eliminates the needfor multiple physical remote controls. User profiles and zones may be used to customize a user's remote control functionality based on preferences, access controls, location and the like.

To simply play a DVD and watch a movie on a TV, it may be necessary to operate three different remote controls to turn on and properly set up the TV, DVD player and home theater system to do so. [0003] One traditional method of eliminating or reducing the number of physical remote controls is the so-called universal remote control. Typically, universal re...
