User input processing for controlling remote devices
First Claim
1. A method for managing a remote electronic device using a user interface on an electronic device, the electronic device being operatively connected to a database associating, for each given device identifier, alternative argument values and graphical elements, the method comprising acts performed by the electronic device, comprising:
- receiving a user input through the user interface on the electronic device;
upon receiving the user input, detecting an initial argument value in the user input;
determining a first device identifier based on the user input;
after detecting the initial argument value and determining the first device identifier, accessing the database to retrieve a first graphical element associated with a first alternative argument value of the first device identifier, said first alternative argument value matching the detected initial argument value; and
rendering the user input by outputting the retrieved first graphical element.

Abstract
A method for managing a remote electronic device using a user interface on an electronic device. The electronic device is operatively connected to a database which associates, for each given device identifier, alternative argument values and graphical elements. The method includes: receiving a user input through the user interface on the electronic device; determining a first device identifier based on the user input; accessing the database to retrieve a first graphical element associated with a first alternative argument value of the first device identifier, the first alternative argument value matching the user input; and rendering the user input by outputting the retrieved first graphical element.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer program product recorded thereon comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor of an electronic device configure the electronic device to perform a method for managing a remote electronic device using a user interface on the electronic device, the electronic device being operatively connected to a database associating, for each given device identifier, alternative argument values and graphical elements, the method comprising:
-
receiving a user input through the user interface on the electronic device; upon receiving the user input, detecting an initial argument value in the user input; determining a first device identifier based on the user input; after detecting the initial argument value and determining the first device identifier, accessing the database to retrieve a first graphical element associated with a first alternative argument value of the first device identifier, said first alternative argument value matching the detected initial argument value; and rendering the user input by outputting the retrieved first graphical element.

12. An electronic device for managing a remote electronic device using a user interface, the electronic device being operatively connected to a database associating, for each given device identifier, alternative argument values and graphical elements, the electronic device comprising:
-
the user interface arranged for receiving a user input; and a processor arranged for performing the following operations; upon receiving the user input, detecting an initial argument value in the user input; determining a first device identifier based on the user input; after detecting the initial argument value and determining the first device identifier, accessing the database to retrieve a first graphical element associated with a first alternative argument value of the first device identifier, said first alternative argument value matching the detected initial argument value; and rendering the user input by outputting the retrieved first graphical element. - View Dependent Claims (13)
