Abstract: A method and system for controlling operations of electronic devices in a context sensitive manner have been provided. The control actions available on a context sensitive, interactive remote controller depend upon the content currently viewed or used on the electronic devices. The interactive remote controller with an in-built display module provides personal control features such as setting up program reminders, receiving and viewing social recommendations, designating favorite shows, and searching and organizing media content. The interactive remote controller is not overloaded with a large set of standard buttons that have selective relevance to the operations performed on electronic devices at a given instance of time. The interactive remote controller ensures that personal activities such as liking a program does not disrupt collective user experience, thereby providing privacy to a user by displaying text inputs, contextual menus, notifications and reminders, on the in-built display module.
