Remote state following device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- an electronic device with a controllable operating state;
an imaging device that captures image data of an environment and that has an imaging resolution that isolates visual state of a targeted control interface in a field of view of the imaging device;
a control interface that comprises a pairing identifier;
a control system communicatively coupled to the imaging device and the electronic device, the control system comprising a visually monitored interface control mode with configuration to;
identify the pairing identifier in the field of view of the image data and thereby detect the control interface,interpret a visual state of the control interface, andmodulate the operating state in coordination with the visual state.

Abstract
A system and method for a remote state following device that includes an electronic device with a controllable operating state; an imaging device; and control system that when targeted at a control interface interprets a visual state from the control interface, and modifies the operating state in coordination with the visual state.
