Problems solved by technology

[0010] The problem with the aforementioned prior art is that the corresponding device is not always unambiguously identifiable, so that the number of possible matching code sets is very large, with the result that the user has to experiment with a large number of possible matching code sets, it's time consuming and tiring

Embodiment Construction

[0051] figure 1 Shown is a system with a set-top box 1, which is connected to a plurality of devices 2, 3, 4, 5 to be remote controlled, wherein reference number 2 denotes a television receiver, reference number 3 denotes a video recorder, and reference number 4 denotes a DVD player, reference numeral 5 denotes an arbitrary device. All devices to be remotely controlled are collectively referred to as "Device".

[0052] The devices 2 to 5 can be remotely controlled by the remote control 6 provided that the remote control 6 has stored a corresponding code reserve, ie a code set, for each individual device. The remote controller can not only communicate with each device 2-5, but also communicate with the set-top box. The communication with the devices 2-5 can be performed unidirectionally from the remote control 6 to the devices 2-5, while the communication with the set top box 1 is bidirectional.

[0053] The set top box 1 is connected via a communication link 7 to a database...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for programming a remote control for operating a remotely controlled device. According to said method, the device detects partially identifying metadata, filters said metadata and uses the filtered data to search for matching code sets in a data base, which code sets are offered to the user in ordered sequence in accordance with a probability weighting. The probability weighting is established depending on the frequency of a confirmation signal in response to the request using the above filtered data, and as a function of the time difference between a current request and earlier matching requests.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for programming a remote control according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Such a remote control is known from EP 2 148 308 B1. There, in order to program a remote control for operating a particular device to be remote-controlled, the device to be controlled is first selected on the remote control and metadata at least partially identifying the device is read out by the device or manually entered . These metadata are passed on to an external database, where by means of these metadata they are selected in the database the set of codes matching the selected device. These selected code sets are returned to the remote in an orderly sequence and tried by the user until a code set matching the device to be controlled is found. If the code group is found, an acknowledgment signal is sent back to the database. The orderly sequence takes into account the geographical area of ​​the user within whic...
