1. A method for providing a Control User Interface (CUI) for controlling a Networked Device (ND) with a Remote Controller (RC), comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a request for the CUI, including information corresponding to a location from where the RC controls the ND, from the ND to a Service Provider (SP);
receiving, at the ND, the CUI corresponding to the location from where the RC controls the ND, from the SP, wherein the CUI is configured differently, at the SP, according to whether the location from where the RC controls the ND is an indoor space or an outdoor space; and
transmitting the CUI from the ND to the RC.

Abstract
A system and methods for providing a Control User Interface (CUI) for controlling a Networked Device (ND) with a Remote Controller (RC) are provided. A Service Provider (SP) receives capability information of the RC and CUI information from the ND, generates a reconfigured CUI based on a location of the RC from which to control the ND, and transmits the reconfigured CUI to the ND. The ND receives the reconfigured CUI from the SP and transmits the reconfigured CUI to the RC. The RC receives the reconfigured CUI from the ND and controls the ND with the reconfigured CUI.

24. A Networked Device (ND) of a network comprising:
-
a transmitter for transmitting a request for a Control User Interface (CUI), including information corresponding to a location from where a Remote Controller (RC) controls the ND, to a Service Provider (SP); and a receiver for receiving the CUI corresponding to the location from where the RC controls the ND, from the SP, wherein the CUI is configured differently, at the SP, according to whether the location from where the RC controls the ND is an indoor space or an outdoor space, wherein the transmitter transmits the CUI to the RC.
