Interface enhancement apparatus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A digital interface translating device that enhances the control scope of a user interface device comprising:
- at least one processor executing a control program that satisfies the normal digital protocol requirements of a given user interface device;
said processor that executes said control program that is able to detect a special sequence of commands to enable an alternative mode for at least one alternate interpretation of said normal digital protocol requirement of said given user interface device and that uses said normal user interface device digital protocol to determine the value of a given parameter in addition to those normally provided for by the normal digital user interface device protocol; and
said processor executing a second control program that is able to satisfy the digital protocol requirements of at least one remotely controllable target device, said processor using said given parameter to control said remotely controllable target device in an enhanced manner not normally possible with the normal interpretation of said user interface device digital protocol.

Abstract
An interface enhancement apparatus that increases the utility of devices that translate digital commands intended for a device with certain limitations in terms of the user specification of at least one control parameter to expand the ability of a user to specify the control parameter from a larger range of values than the source digital commands are intrinsically capable of specifying.
