Locating a remote control device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a networked device including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the processor is programmed to;
transmit a first request to at least one second networked device to transmit a second request to a remote control device of the networked device to send a return signal; and
provide an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device, based on at least one response to the first request.

Abstract
A system includes a networked device is programmed to transmit, to one or more second networked devices, a request to locate a remote control device of the networked device. Based on the responses to the request, the networked device is further programmed to provide an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device.

9. A system comprising:
a networked device, including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the processor is programmed to; transmit, to a remote control device for the networked device, a first request to locate the remote control device; wait a predetermined amount of time for a response to the first request; transmit, to at least one second networked device, upon failing to receive the response to the first request within the predetermined amount of time, a second request to transmit a third request to the remote control device to send a return signal; and provide an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device based on at least one response to the second request. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, implemented by a networked device including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, comprising:
-
transmitting a first request to at least one second networked device to send a second request to a remote control device of the networked device to send a return signal; and providing an indication via a user interface of the networked device concerning a location of the remote control device, based on at least one response to the first request. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
