Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for enabling controller device to control proprietary digital media players, network accessories, and virtual assistants, providing an overall improved user experience. The techniques disclosed herein reduce clutter because a single controller can control various different devices and accessories. The techniques discloses also can include identifying a change in the configuration information for the computing device. The technique for accessory control can include transmitting updated configuration information for the controller, the configuration information associating a function for the computing device with a user interface element value for the controller.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n receiving, by a computing device connected to a network, a network code for adding a controller, the computing device comprising a display that presents a user interface element for controlling one or more accessories that are wirelessly connected to the computing device; transmitting, by the computing device, a first signal to the controller, the first signal configured to register the controller to receive configuration information from the computing device; transmitting, by the computing device, a second signal to the controller, the second signal comprising the configuration information for the controller, the configuration information associating a function of the computing device with the user interface element for the controller; receiving, by the computing device, a third signal from the controller, the third signal indicating interaction with a selected user interface element on the controller; authorizing the controller to control the one or more accessories of various types that are wirelessly connected to the computing device; synchronizing the control of the one or more accessories such that a command from the controller will perform a related function for each of a same type of accessory; and performing, by the computing device, the function associated with the selected user interface element.
