A system and method supporting the direct entry of characters by sensing and analyzing user motion. This motion can be the movement of one or more fingers or of a stylus over a touchpad integrated into a remote-control unit, or the motion of a remote-control unit itself tracked by a motion sensor. The sensed motions correspond to patterns representing one or more characters, words, phrases, or commands. Information indicative of the patterns is then analyzed by the system and translated into a corresponding characters, commands or actions. This translated information is then provided to a digital media system as an input or a command.

Enhanced remote-control of a digital media system

An electronic device, method, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium provide a function of locating and identifying a paired device in a wireless network. The wireless network communicatively connects a plurality of electronic devices including the electronic device and the paired device. The electronic device includes a user interface, a network interface, a hardware processor, and a non-transitory memory storing one or more programs. The hardware processor executes the programs to receive a search command using a first communication connection via the network interface. Moreover, the hardware processor executes the programs to determine whether the peer device identifying information matches identifying information of the electronic device. When the peer device identifying information matches the identifying information of the electronic device, the electronic device identifies as the paired device. Otherwise, the electronic device broadcasts to the wireless network using a second communication connection.
