System and method for one-stroke multimedia programming
First Claim
1. In a multimedia system of networked devices, a method for generating command sequences from a remote control (RC) keystroke, the method comprising:
- selecting a programmed RC key;
accessing a map of RC keys, multimedia sources, multimedia destinations, and multimedia commands;
parsing the map by RC key, building a table of RC keys cross-referenced to commands for multimedia sources and multimedia destinations;
reading the command associated with the selected RC key;
performing a sequence of multimedia functions in response to the command;
wherein selecting a programmed RC key includes;
triggering a home audio-visual interoperability (HAVi) L2 graphical user interface (GUI) event model;
engaging a HAVi event handler; and
,wherein parsing the map by RC key includes using a syntax parser program written in the JAVA language to parse the map in response to input from the HAVi event handler; and
,wherein performing a sequence of multimedia functions in response to the command includes generating HAVi commands structured in IEEE-1394 protocols.

Abstract
Methods are provided for configuring and invoking command sequences from a remote control (RC) keystroke in a multimedia system of networked devices. The configuring method comprises: selecting a multimedia configuration menu; selecting an RC key; selecting a multimedia command to associate with the RC key; selecting a multimedia source associated with the multimedia command; selecting a multimedia destination associated with the multimedia command; in response to associating multimedia commands with RC keys, generating an RC key map cross-referencing RC keys to multimedia commands; and, storing the RC key map in permanent memory.
