Abstract

Devices and methods are provided for dynamically switching states of remote control devices. A remote control device may receive voice data from a user, send the voice data to another device which may pass the voice signals to a server. The server may determine instructions associated with responding to the voice signals and send the instructions to the other device, which may convert the instructions to remote control commands. The other device may send the commands along with state information to the remote control device, allowing the remote control device to emit commands determined by the other device and to map other command signals to possible inputs which the remote control device may receive.
