Abstract
A method of customizing contextual controls of a remote-control unit (RCU) having a plurality of user interface elements is disclosed. A processor within the RCU receives context information from an integrated output device that includes an output mechanism, the context information being related to an active application being run on the integrated output device and an active object being presented by the active application. The processor determines a set of actions that can be performed on the active object within the active application. The processor dynamically maps actions to user interface elements of the RCU based on the context information. The processor receives a selection of a user interface element and sends a request from the RCU to the integrated output device specifying an action mapped to the user interface element to be performed on the active object and the active application.
