Abstract
A method of detecting missing devices in a home entertainment system using a wireless home entertainment hub includes obtaining a registration of at least one device that includes a source device. An instruction is received from a user to present program content from the source device. A set of one or more sink devices missing from the home entertainment system for a presentation of the program content based on an assessment by the wireless home entertainment hub of presentation capabilities of the home entertainment system using the at least one device registered with the wireless home entertainment hub is determined. The set of one or more sink devices is presented to the user.

21. A method of conveying control instructions using multi-dimensional motion sensing of a remote control unit, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a registration of a plurality of source devices and sink devices with a wireless home entertainment hub; receiving at the wireless home entertainment hub a first instruction to switch from presenting content from a first source device to presenting content from a second source device based on a first sensed motion of the remote control unit, the first sensed motion orienting the remote control unit to be directed toward the second source device while a first sink device presents the content from the first source device; and transmitting the first instruction to the first sink device to switch from presenting the content from the first source device to presenting the content from the second source device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

35. A method of conveying control instructions using multi-dimensional motion sensing of a remote control unit, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a registration of a remote control unit with a wireless home entertainment hub; determining by the remote control unit a first instruction to switch from a presentation of content from a first source device to a presentation of content from a second source device based on a first sensed motion of the remote control unit, the first sensed motion orienting the remote control unit to be directed toward the second source device while a first sink device presents the content from the first source device; and transmitting the first instruction from the remote control unit to the wireless home entertainment hub. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
