METHOD AND SYSTEM TO CONTROL A NON-GESTURE CONTROLLED DEVICE USING GESTURE INTERACTIONS WITH A GESTURE CONTROLLED DEVICE

摘要

A television set. The television set includes a display, a gesture detector, a transceiver, a processor, and a memory component. The display is operable to render images. The gesture detector is operable to detect gesture interactions, e.g., initiation of gesture control operation. The transceiver is operable to communicate with an electronic device that is separate from the television set. The processor is operable to cause the transceiver to send a request message to the electronic device. The request message is a request to receive a graphical user interface (GUI) of the electronic device for rendering on the display. The transceiver receives the GUI of the electronic device responsive to the request message. The processor generates a command message responsive to gesture interaction with the GUI of the electronic device. The command message is operable to control an operation of the electronic device and is transmitted to the electronic device.
