AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT: |
The patentability of claims 1, 3 and 6-22 is confirmed. |
Claims 2, 4 and 5 were not reexamined. |
1. A first media device, comprising:
a processing device;
a high-definition multimedia interface communications port, coupled to the processing device, for communicatively connecting the first media device to a second media device;
a transmitter, coupled to the processing device, for communicatively coupling the first media device to a remote control device; and
a memory device, coupled to the processing device, having stored thereon processor executable instruction;
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing device, cause the first media device to be configured to transmit a first command directly to the second media device, via use of the high-definition multimedia communications port, to control an operational function of the second media device when a first data provided to the first media device indicates that the second media device will be responsive to the first command, and cause the first media device to be configured to transmit a second data to a remote control device, via use of the transmitter, for use in configuring the remote control device to transmit a second command directly to the second media device, via use of a communicative connection between the remote control device and the second media device, to control the operational function of the second media device when the first data provided to the first media device indicates that the second media device will be unresponsive to the first command.
