Abstract

A universal remote control system (100) for controlling a consumer electronics system (200). The remote control system (100) includes a hand-held remote control device (102) for entering a user command, such as a voice command or a keypad command. The remote control system (100)further includes a personal computer (104), which is wirelessly connected to the hand-held remote control device (102). In this regard, the user command can be wirelessly transmitted to the personal computer (104). The personal computer (104) generates formatting data in response to the user command. The formatting data is wirelessly transmitted from the personal computer (104) to the remote control device (102). The remote control device (102) issues a control signal based on the formatting data. This control signal is wirelessly transmitted to the consumer electronics system (200) for configuration thereof.
