1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a remote control device, user input for a yet-to-be-determined user command directed to a target media device;
requesting, by the remote control device to a first media device, current state information of the target media device;
receiving, by the remote control device from the first media device, the current state information of the target media device;
based on the current state information of the target media device, determining the user command corresponding to the user input;
transmitting, by the remote control device to the target media device, a remote control signal with the user command to the target media device.
