REMOTE CONTROLLER FOR MULTIPLE NAVIGATION DEVICES
First Claim
1. A remote control device for use with marine electronics devices, the remote control device comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display configured to display graphical images, and to receive touch input from a user;
a communication subsystem configured to provide bidirectional communication with one or more controllable marine electronics devices via a computer network;
processing hardware and persistent memory including instructions executable by the processing hardware to cause the processing hardware to;
receive device information from each of the one or more controllable marine electronics devices via the computer network;
for each controllable marine electronics device for which device information is received, receive respective control information from a corresponding location determined based on the device information received for the respective controllable marine electronics device;
display a selection graphical user interface (GUI) on the touch-sensitive display, the selection GUI including a plurality of graphical selectors, each graphical selector being associated with a respective one of the controllable marine electronics devices; and
upon receiving touch input associated with a selected graphical selector, display a remote control user interface for a target controllable marine electronics device corresponding to the selected graphical selector on the touch sensitive display.

20. A remote control device for use with marine electronics devices, the remote control device comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display configured to display graphical images, and to receive touch input from a user; a rotational knob configured to receive a rotational input from the user; a communication subsystem configured to provide bidirectional communication with one or more controllable marine electronics devices via a computer network; processing hardware and persistent memory including instructions executable by the processing hardware to cause the processing hardware to; receive device information from each of the one or more controllable marine electronics devices via the computer network, the device information comprising one or more of a network location of the controllable marine electronics device, a device identifier, control information, a location of the control information, and a controllable device software identifier; acquire the control information based on the device information; display a selection graphical user interface (GUI) on the touch-sensitive display, the selection GUI including a plurality of graphical selectors, each graphical selector being associated with a respective one of the controllable marine electronics devices; upon receiving touch input associated with a selected graphical selector, display a remote control user interface for a target controllable marine electronics device corresponding to the selected graphical selector on the touch sensitive display; when the remote control user interface is displayed, map the rotational input from the rotational knob to a control function of the target controllable marine electronics device, according to the control information, such that when the mapping is applied, the rotational input received when the remote control user interface is displayed is sent in a control message over the computer network via the communication subsystem to the target controllable marine electronics device to control the control function of the target controllable marine electronics device, wherein the remote control user interface includes a graphical indicator that indicates a current state of the control function to which the rotational knob is mapped; receive a reply message from the target controllable marine electronics device; and update, based on the reply message, the visual appearance of the graphical indicator to reflect the current state of the control function.
