1. A method comprising:

  • causing a first electronic consumer device to display a navigable menu in response to the first electronic consumer device receiving from a remote control device a configuration signal, the navigable menu providing a plurality of selectable brand and model selection criteria for use in identifying a second electronic consumer device;

    receiving at the first electronic consumer device user input provided to select from the navigable menu one or more of the plurality of selectable brand and model selection criteria;

    causing the first electronic consumer device to send data indicative of the selected one or more of the plurality of selectable brand and model selection criteria to a web server to thereby cause the web server to identify in a database associated with the web server a codeset that is already stored in a memory of the remote control device;

    receiving at the first electronic consumer device from the web server a single code that was selected from the identified codeset by the server wherein the single code corresponds to at least one controllable function of the second electronic consumer device;

    causing the first electronic consumer device to transmit to the remote control device the single code that was selected from the identified codeset;

    using by the remote control device the single code that was selected from the identified codeset to identify within a plurality of codesets already stored within the memory of the remote control device a one of the plurality of codesets that corresponds to the identified codeset; and

    causing the one of the plurality of codesets already stored within the memory of the remote control device to be automatically used by the remote control device when the remote control device is placed into a remote control device operating mode in which functional operations of the second electronic consumer device are to be controlled in response to activations of one or more input elements of the remote control device.
