Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for masking signals from multi-mode remote control devices. A method may include receiving, by a first device, a first key command from the first device or a second device operatively connected to the first device, the first key command indicative of a first infrared (IR) command code received by the first device or the second device. The method may include receiving a non-IR message and determining, based on the message, that the first key command is associated with a second IR command code for controlling a third device. The method may include preventing, based on the determination that the first key command is associated with the second IR command code for controlling the third device, the first key command from causing the first device or the second device to perform an action.
