1. A computing device comprising:

  • an infrared receiver;

    an infrared transmitter;

    a processing unit configured to execute an operating system; and

    a microcontroller configured to;

    receive a first command in a first protocol via the infrared receiver; and

    provide the first command to the operating system,the operating system being configured to;

    obtain the first command from the microcontroller;

    translate the first command into a translated second command in a second protocol; and

    provide the translated second command to the microcontroller, the microcontroller being further configured to;

    delay for a specified delay period after receiving the translated second command from the operating system; and

    after expiration of the specified delay period, control the infrared transmitter to transmit the translated second command to a controlled device,the specified delay period being based at least on a non-detection period during which the controlled device ceases detection of commands, andthe specified delay period occurring after the controlled device receives the first command in the first protocol.
