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 limited range radio; hardware resources coupled to the radio; a light weight protocol stack running on the hardware resources and exchanging packets with a remote control device; an IP protocol stack running on the hardware resources and exchanging packets with at least one signal source; control interpretation logic running on the hardware resources, logically coupled to the light weight protocol stack, that processes input received from a slaved keyboard and from a slaved navigation device on the remote control 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 IP protocol stack and the light weight protocol stack, that display logic running on the hardware resources, logically coupled to the light weight protocol stack, that composes a first visual display and forwards the first visual display to the remote control device.
