Abstract:
As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, methods and/or apparatuses involve translating control signals between remote input devices and endpoint devices that are to be controlled. Received control commands are selectively translated based on an endpoint device to be controlled, and an output signal is provided for controlling the endpoint device in accordance with the received control commands. This approach facilitates the use of an input device for controlling an endpoint device, without necessarily requiring that the input device is configured to provide control signals that the endpoint device can operate upon.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the logic circuitry is configured and arranged to:\n in response to the received control command being a command that the identified endpoint device is configured to operate in response to, operate in a device mode and provide the received control command as the output control command; and in response to the received control command being a command that the identified endpoint device is not configured to operate in response to, operate in a hub mode and translating the received control command into the output command, the output command being different than the received control command and configured for controlling the identified endpoint device to carry out the specified operation.
