9. A method of controlling a computer system comprising a remote controller having a plurality of selection buttons and producing different remote signals according to a selection of a user, and an operating system controlling the system in response to the remote signal produced by the remote controller, comprising:
-
setting up a mouse function according to the remote signals corresponding to the selection buttons of the remote controller;
transmitting the remote signal, which is produced as the user selects the selection button to the operating system;
hooking the remote signal to the operating system; and
changing the remote signal into a mouse message for the preset mouse function and providing the mouse message to the operating system when the remote controller is employed in the mouse mode.

10. A method of selectively using a wireless remote control as a wireless mouse, comprising:
-
receiving a first remote signal from a wireless remote control indicating a change from a remote controller mode to a mouse mode;
transmitting a first mouse message to an operating system, wherein the first mouse message indicates that the mouse mode has been selected;
receiving a second remote signal from the wireless remote control indicating a desired wireless mouse operation; and
transmitting a second mouse message to the operating system, wherein the second mouse message directs the operating system to execute the desired wireless mouse operation. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A system for selectively using a wireless remote control as a wireless mouse, comprising:
-
a wireless remote control to transmit remote signals, wherein use of a mouse mode selection button on the remote control causes a first remote signal to indicate a change from a remote controller mode to a mouse mode or from the mouse mode to the remote controller mode, and wherein each of a plurality of selection buttons on the remote control may be configured to transmit a second remote signal that is interpreted as indicating a desired wireless mouse operation when in the mouse mode or as indicating a desired remote control operation when in the remote controller mode;
a remote signal control program to store mouse control data that indicates a relationship between the second remote signal and the function of each of the plurality of selection buttons on the remote control when in the mouse mode;
a remote signal controller driver to convert the second remote signal, when in the mouse mode, into a mouse message based on the mouse control data; and
an operating system to execute the desired wireless mouse operation based on the mouse message or the desired remote control operation based on the second remote signal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A machine-readable medium that provides instructions for selectively using a wireless remote control as a wireless mouse, which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a first remote signal from a wireless remote control indicating a change from a remote controller mode to a mouse mode;
transmitting a first mouse message to an operating system, wherein the first mouse message indicates that the mouse mode has been selected;
receiving a second remote signal from the wireless remote control indicating a desired wireless mouse operation; and
transmitting a second mouse message to the operating system, wherein the second mouse message directs the operating system to execute the desired wireless mouse operation. - View Dependent Claims (20)
