Abstract

A universal remote control accessory used in conjunction with a mobile device remote control application and mobile device for controlling IR controllable devices is described. A code library can be downloaded to the mobile device remote control application, and the mobile device application can prompt a user through a user interface to find a matching code set for controlling a target device.
