1. A method comprising:
- comparing characteristics of a wireless signal received from a remote control to characteristics associated with a plurality of protocols;
based upon the comparison, assigning a score to each protocol included in the plurality of protocols; and
identifying a protocol from the plurality of protocols based upon the assigned scores, wherein the identified protocol is substantially similar to a protocol associated with the wireless signal.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for identifying protocols. In one aspect, a method includes comparing characteristics of a wireless signal received from a remote control to characteristics associated with a set of protocols. The method also includes assigning a score, based upon the comparison, to each protocol included in the plurality of protocols. The method also includes identifying a protocol from the set of protocols based upon the assigned scores. The identified protocol is substantially similar to a protocol associated with the wireless signal.

23. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions that are executable by a processing device, and upon such execution cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
-
comparing characteristics of a wireless signal received from a remote control to characteristics associated with a plurality of protocols; based upon the comparison, assigning a score to each protocol included in the plurality of protocols; and identifying a protocol from the plurality of protocols based upon the assigned scores, wherein the identified protocol is substantially similar to a protocol associated with the wireless signal. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
