Apple intends to launch its own brand of high-definition TV in the future. One of the company’s latest patent shows that the TV remote control may be the iPhone, iPad or other cheap Apple accessories.
It is reported that Apple is developing a new technology, the technology will transform its iOS mobile devices into universal remote control. Even this remote control can control the equipment available in the market and Apple may launch any TV in the future.
The universal remote requires the user to query and enter the access code of the device they want to control. Apple uses a dedicated iOS application, you can code query and input process to be implemented automatically, so as to avoid allowing users to bother with the trouble code manual to the query. The use of this application, the device user only need to record their equipment, and transfers it to the iCloud automated queries to the correct code, and to create a virtual remote control on the iPhone or iPad.
Back in 2010, Apple has been on the United States Patent and Trademark Bureau (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) applied this patent, but until this week, was approved. It is reported that Apple has numerous patents, and almost always in the process of patent application. Many patents will bring new features to the iOS devices, but also have many patients cannot be achieved: Apple just put on hold, waiting for sometime in the future use.
Previously, Apple had a similar remote control Remote. However, Apple Remote, not the TV, DVD player and DVR equipment design. Rather, it is available to iPhone and iPad users for different devices on the remote control iTunes, Apple TV set-top box. Remote, is somewhat similar to the universal remote control patent, once the configuration is successful, it can take advantage of the user’s local Wi-Fi network to access and control equipment. Remote allows users to swap in iTunes songs, adjust the volume of the equipment and perform other similar functions.
