VERIFICATION OF SYMBOLS RECEIVED THROUGH A TOUCHPAD OF A REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE IN AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM TO ALLOW ACCESS TO SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
First Claim
1. A method of operating an electronic system comprising an electronic device and an associated remote control device having a touchpad, the method comprising:
- in the electronic system, receiving verification data that corresponds to a first user input of a verification symbol;
in the electronic system, receiving a second user input through the touchpad of the remote control device, and in response, generating user data that corresponds to the second user input;
in the electronic system, comparing the verification data to the user data to determine if a matching relationship exists between the verification data and the user data;
in the electronic system, providing access to a function of the electronic system if the matching relationship exists, and denying access to the function of the electronic system if the matching relationship does not exist.

Abstract
An electronic system comprises an electronic device and an associated remote control device having a touchpad. The electronic system receives verification data that corresponds to a first user input of a verification symbol. The electronic system receives a second user input through the touchpad, and in response, generates user data that corresponds to the second user input. The electronic system compares the verification data to the user data to determine if a matching relationship exists between the verification data and the user data. The electronic system provides access to a function if the matching relationship exists, and denies access to the function if the matching relationship does not exist. In some examples, the electronic system receives the first user input of the verification symbol through the touchpad, and in response, generates the verification data that corresponds to the first user input. In some examples, the electronic system is a video system.

11. An electronic system comprising:
-
an electronic device configured to receive verification data that corresponds to a first user input of a verification symbol; a remote control device associated with the electronic device and having a touchpad, the remote control device configured to receive a second user input through the touchpad, and in response, generate user data that corresponds to the second user input and transfer the user data; and the electronic device further configured to receive the user data, compare the verification data to the user data to determine if a matching relationship exists between the verification data and the user data, provide access to a function of the electronic system if the matching relationship exists, and deny access to the function of the electronic system if the matching relationship does not exist. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
