Abstract: A method of authorizing a computer mouse to perform a particular action may include receiving, by a network device, a request associated with a particular action to be performed by a computer mouse. The request may be digitally signed using a private device key of the computer mouse. The method may include validating, by the network device, the digitally signed request using a public device key previously provided by the computer mouse. The method may include generating a response to the request. The response may indicate whether the computer mouse is authorized to perform the particular action associated with the trusted request. The method may include sending the response to a client device associated with the computer mouse.

Abstract: A method for designing a system on a target device includes generating a solution for the system. A solution for a module of the system identified by a user is preserved. The preserved solution for the module is implemented at a location on the target device identified by the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating a control device may include receiving identifying information about an appliance, receiving identifying information about a component of the appliance, and sending a query to a remote server including information about the appliance and the component. The remote server may provide a response including configuration information for the control device, with a command for the appliance and a command that is specific to the component. A first input of the control device may be mapped to the command for the appliance, and a second input of the control device may be mapped to the command that is specific to the component, etc. When the second input is received, a command that is specific to the component may be generated.

Abstract: A method and system for adaptively configuring a remote control includes analyzing a log of events, maintained by the remote control, which indicate how the remote control and the devices it controls are used by a user. Once the analysis is performed, the system and method can suggest alternative configurations of the remote control to the user. The range and type of alternative configurations is not particularly limited and can include changing which devices are employed for various user activities and/or how those activities are performed, the placement and hierarchy of commands in a menu tree and/or troubleshooting and set up configurations. The analysis can be performed either partially or totally within the remote control, or at, or in conjunction with, a service to which the remote control connects through a network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for modifying account information associated with a universal control system includes electronically receiving triggering information for an account associated with a network, determining that a device compatible with the network is referenced in the triggering information, and in response, updating a portion of a database that is associated with the account and includes a list of devices associated with the network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for programming a universal control system includes generating a list of devices associated with a network; based on configuration data and statistical data associated with a first set of devices included in the list of devices, generating programming for a first activity to be performed via the network, wherein first activity is associated with the first set of devices included in the list of devices, and the programming is associated with a device configuration for the first set of devices and includes commands for transmission to the first set of devices by the universal control system; and causing the programming for the first activity to be stored, wherein, when the first activity is selected, the device configuration for the first set of devices is implemented.
