Abstract:
1. A master device, adapted to be controlled by a remote control device that needs only limited computing capabilities and that includes slaved control and audio I/O features, the master device including: a wireless link transceiver; hardware resources coupled to the wireless link transceiver; a first stack running on the hardware resources and exchanging packets with a remote control device; a second stack running on the hardware resources and exchanging packets with at least one signal source; DRM logic running on the hardware resources, logically coupled to the first stack, adapted to exchange with the remote control device messages related to a DRM key; control interpretation logic running on the hardware resources, logically coupled to the first stack, that processes input received from a slaved keyboard and from a slaved navigation device on the remote control device and responsively controls the master device, including selection of audio and/or video for playback; call processing logic running on the hardware resources, logically coupled to the second stack and the first stack, that display logic running on the hardware resources, logically coupled to the first stack, that composes a first visual display and forwards the first visual display to the remote control device.
