Patrick H. Hayes - Mission Viejo CA, US

Assignee:

Universal Electronics Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

370338, 709222

Abstract:

A controlling device is used to configure an appliance for wireless network communications through use of a setup wizard installed on a computing device. The setup wizard is used to obtain from a user information required to perform communications on a wireless network via a wireless network router and a digital representation of the information obtained from the user through use of the setup wizard is provided to the controlling device. The controlling device is then used to transfer the digital representation of the information to the appliance whereupon the appliance will use the digital representation of the information to configure itself for wireless network communications.

Eric Negron - New York NY, US
Patrick H. Hayes - Mission Viejo CA, US

Assignee:

UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC. - Cypress CA

International Classification:

H04M 1/00
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

455566, 715863

Abstract:

A system for use in controlling operating functions of a controllable device includes a hand-held device and an intermediate device in communication with the hand-held device and the controllable device. The hand-held device is adapted to receive a gesture based input and to transmit a signal having data representative of the gesture based input. The intermediate device has programming for translating the data representative of the gesture based input in a signal received from the hand-held device into a command signal to be communicated to the controllable device wherein the command signal has a format appropriate for controlling an operating function of the controllable device that is associated with the gesture based input.
