Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and implementations of using a device interface cable assembly are described herein. In some examples, a modular cable and device interface cable assembly may connect a control system such as a home automation control system to a device control port on a device such as a television. A controller device may use the device interface cable assembly and modular cable to send or receive commands and status messages to or from a remote device. Customized commands may provide direct access to all of the functionality in the remote device, and may avoid the need to navigate a series of menus on the remote device. The modular cable and device interface cable assembly may provide two-way communication between the control system and the remote device. Two-way communication may include verification of command message or gestures, or may include retrieval of remote device status information.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for interfacing with a controllable device, the system comprising: a device interface cable assembly, wherein the device interface cable assembly includes a device cable, a device barrel connector plug disposed at a first end of the device cable, and an eight position eight contact (8P8C) connector disposed at a second end of the device cable, wherein the device cable includes at least three conductive wires disposed between the 8P8C connector and t…
