Intelligent remote control system
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
a device state management module operative on the processor to;
receive a trigger signal indicating motion of a remote control;
determine a device state of one or more controlled devices;
determine an intended state of the one or more controlled devices;
send state management instructions to be transmitted to the one or more controlled devices, the state management instructions directing a set of initial default operations that comprise altering one or more of the device states in the one or more controlled devices;
determine whether the device state matches the intended state; and
direct a signal based on a determination that the device state matches the intended state, the signal to prevent transmission of a control signal from the remote control to the one or more controlled devices, the control signal to toggle the device state; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory to store the determined device state of the one or more controlled devices.

Abstract
An apparatus may include a processor and a device state management module. The device state management module may be operative on the processor to receive a trigger signal from a motion sensor in a remote control, to determine the device state of one or more controlled devices and send state management instructions to be transmitted to the one or more controlled devices. The state management instructions may control a set of initial default operations that comprises altering one or more device states in the one or more controlled devices. The apparatus may further include a memory that is arranged to store the determined device state of one or more controlled devices. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

14. An article comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, enable a system to:
-
receive a trigger signal from a motion sensor in a remote control; determine a device state of one or more controlled devices; determine an intended state of the one or more controlled devices; launch a set of initial default operations that comprise altering one or more of the device states in the one or more controlled devices; determine whether the device state matches the intended state; and direct a signal based on a determination that the device state matches the intended state, the signal to prevent transmission of a control signal from the remote control to the one or more controlled devices, the control signal to toggle the device state. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
