Abstract
A method and system for operating a remote-controlled device using a gesture-enabled remote control (RC) includes activating a communication link between the RC and the remote-controlled device. The remote-controlled device may implement a remote control context accommodating gesture commands generated by the RC. The RC may enable a user to generate gesture commands by performing gesture motions with the RC. Command data corresponding to gesture commands, along with selection commands from selection control inputs on the RC, may be sent to the remote-controlled device.

28. A remote control, comprising:
-
a processor; a wireless transceiver; a motion detector; and memory media accessible to the processor, including instructions executable by the processor, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor results in the processor performing operations including; responsive to detecting multiple downward movements of a remote control, identifying a context of a remotely controlled device; and responsive to identifying the context of the remotely controlled device as a volume control context, wirelessly transmitting a mute volume command to the remotely controlled device. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A non-transitory computer readable medium including processor executable program instructions that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
responsive to detecting multiple downward movements of a remote control, identifying a context of a remotely controlled device; and responsive to identifying the context of the remotely controlled device as a volume control context, wirelessly transmitting a mute volume command to the remotely controlled device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
