Abstract

A method and system for providing user interfaces for controlling various media appliances through a master device. The user interface system allows media appliances to provide executable code that implements their user interfaces to a master device that can execute the user interface code. To provide an appliance-specific user interface, the master device first identifies the appliances that are connected to the master device, for example, via a bus. The master device then displays an indication of each of the identified appliances to a user. The user can then select one of the displayed appliances that is to be controlled or monitored. In response, the master device retrieves from the selected appliance the user interface code that may be customized to the selected appliance. The master device then stores the retrieved user interface code in memory. The master device can then execute the stored user interface code to control and monitor the selected appliance.
