Patent Images
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a remote control device interface;
a processor;
a memory accessible to the processor, the memory including codes transmittable to a remote control device, wherein the codes are usable by the remote control device to remotely control at least one function of the electronic device; and
a network interface configured to receive the codes from a network element, wherein the codes are received based at least in part on data associated with an image captured by an image capture device;
wherein the remote control device interface is controllable by the processor to communicate at least one of the codes to the remote control device.
