  • Method for programming a remote control
    Patent number: 9877060
    Abstract: A method for programming a remote control for a device in which the device detects partially identifying metadata, filters the metadata and uses the metadata to search for matching code sets in a database. The code sets are presented in ordered sequence by probability weighting which is established depending on frequency of confirmation signal in response to the request using the filtered data, and as a function of the time difference between a current request and earlier matching requests.
