Abstract:
In response to a detected presence of an intended target appliance within a logical topography of controllable appliances identity information associated with the intended target appliance is used to automatically add to a graphical user interface of a controlling device an icon representative of the intended target appliance and to create at a Universal Control Engine a listing of communication methods for use in controlling corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance. When the icon is later activated, the controlling device is placed into an operating state appropriate for controlling functional operations of the intended target appliance while the Universal Control Engine uses at least one of the communication methods to transmit at least one command to place the intended target appliance into a predetermined operating state.

Claim (Index 9):
A switching device, comprising:\n a plurality of audio/video (AV) ports; and a switch circuit that is operable to selectively connect any one of a plurality of content source devices, each of which is connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of AV ports, to a sink device that is connected to another one of the plurality of AV ports; wherein the switching device is configured to: determine that a user has selected a one of a plurality of content consuming activities supported by the switching device; use the selected one of the plurality of content consuming activities to identify a content source device from among the plurality of content source devices; identify a first AV port from among the plurality of AV ports to which the identified content source device is connected using a data structure that comprises a device-to-port mapping that identifies the first AV port to which the identified content source device is connected; and automatically connect the first AV port to the AV port to which the sink device is connected so that content can be provided from the identified content source device to the sink device.
