Abstract
Aspects of the disclosed technology provide solutions for controlling multiple displays (e.g., multiple display devices, multiple displays on a media device, etc.) using a remote-control device. An example method can include receiving, at a remote-control device, a first wireless signal from a first multimedia device and determining a first signal strength of the first wireless signal. The method includes receiving, at the remote-control device, a second wireless signal from a second multimedia device and determining a second signal strength of the second wireless signal. The method also can include identifying a target multimedia device among the first multimedia device and the second multimedia device based on the first signal strength and the second signal strength and selecting a wireless communication format for communication between the remote-control device and the target multimedia device.
