A system and method for enabling set up of a controlling device capable of controlling a plurality of appliances, via an interactive instruction set and associated programming. The programming is accessible by a STB or other controllable appliance and is configured to appropriately display interactive instructions and prompts to a user during a user initiated set up procedure for configuration of another controllable device (e.g., DVD, VCR, DVR, etc) available to the user.

A system and method used to displaying advertising content. A first app installed on a first device functions to retrieve the advertising content and to then provide the advertising content to a second app installed on a second device. The second app installed on the second device will cause the advertising content to be displayed as an overlay in a display associated with the second device.

The present disclosure relates to an infrared remote control code matching method and apparatus, a computer device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes that: an infrared remote control code stream is acquired; a data region of the infrared remote control code stream is divided into multiple data subregions according to occurrence frequencies of the code data in the infrared remote control code stream; an encoding process is performed on each piece of code data in the infrared remote control code stream according to a size of each piece of code data in the infrared remote control code stream and the multiple data subregions to obtain an encoded stream; and the encoded stream is matched with an encoded infrared remote control code stream recorded in an infrared remote control code library to find a corresponding infrared remote control code stream from the infrared remote control code library.
