1. A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor coupled to memory media;
a touch interface coupled to the processor;
a wireless interface coupled to the processor;
a display aligned with the touch interface and coupled to the processor; and
wherein the memory media include processor executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
displaying a touch interface for remote control, wherein the touch interface includes an input bar, wherein the input bar comprises a sliding bar configured for receiving touch inputs for changing a setting of a particular remote control element;
establishing, via a wireless interface, a connection to a set top box associated with a client of a service provider;
receiving, via the touch interface, a first touch input, wherein the first touch input is indicative of a rate of change magnitude for the particular remote control element;
responsive to receiving the first touch input;
sending, to the set top box based on the first touch input, a remote control command for changing the particular remote control element in accordance with the rate of change magnitude; and
displaying, via the touch interface, the particular remote control element changing in accordance with the rate of change magnitude; and
responsive to detecting an absence of touch input at the touch interface, setting the input bar to a particular position.
