SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURATION OF CONTROLLING DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY
First Claim
1. A computer-readable media embodied on a physical, non-transient memory device having instructions for creating a user interface for provision to a hand-held device adapted to control functional operations of one or more appliances, the instructions performing steps comprising:
- receiving input to create a widget which is activatable via the user interface of the hand-held device to cause the hand-held device to perform at least one action, the widget comprising a plurality of pre-defined, user selected programming blocks each graphically represented as a processing unit with at least one of an input and an output of which user selected ones of the inputs and outputs of the pre-defined, user selected programming blocks are graphically interconnected via user interaction to define the at least one action to be performed upon activation of the widget; and
receiving input to add the created widget to a user interface to be provided to the hand-held device.

Abstract
A user interface of a hand-held device is provided with a widget which is activatable to cause the hand-held device to perform at least one action. The widget is created by a user selecting programming blocks from a library of pre-defined programming blocks where each programming block is graphically represented as a processing unit with at least one of an input and an output. User input is then provided to graphically interconnect selected ones of the inputs and outputs of the pre-defined, user selected programming blocks to thereby define the at least one action that is to be performed upon activation of the widget.

13. A method for creating a user interface for provision to a hand-held device adapted to control functional operations of one or more appliances, comprising:
-
creating at a development system a widget which is activatable via the user interface of the hand-held device to cause the hand-held device to perform at least one action, the created widget comprising a plurality of pre-defined, user selected programming blocks each graphically represented as a processing unit with at least one of an input and an output of which user selected ones of the inputs and outputs of the pre-defined, user selected programming blocks are graphically interconnected via user interaction to define the at least one action to be performed upon activation of the widget;
adding the created widget to a user interface to be provided to the hand-held device; andcausing the user interface to be provided from the development system to the hand-held device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
