Abstract

A unique code per pairing of each remote control to each controlled device (such as a TV or other media device) is used in infrared (IR) commands sent by the remote control for the device to detect if the remote control has been moved to a different room. The remote control supports both IR and short range wireless radio (e.g., Bluetooth®) commands. Both IR and Bluetooth® commands are sent on every key press of the remote control unit. When the IR command is received by the device, the device will check if the unique code is from a remote control unit currently paired to the device. If the unique code is not from a remote control unit currently paired to the device, the device will initiate pairing with the remote control unit and execute the command.
