A method of controlling an electronic device is provided. The method includes transmitting a communication signal to a plurality of candidate devices in the vicinity of the electronic device, generating a function code including configuration information of the electronic device, receiving candidate function codes including configuration information of the plurality of candidate devices from the plurality of candidate devices based on the communication signal, and when a feature of the plurality of candidate devices is determined to be similar to a feature of the electronic device based on the candidate function condes, generating at least one of an alert signal or a setting signal based on whether the function code matches the candidate function codes.

An electronic control unit provided in a vehicle is provided. The electronic control unit comprises a communication unit for receiving information on vehicle electronic devices from one or more vehicle electronic devices provided in the vehicle, and a processor for selecting the information on vehicle electronic devices from any one of the vehicle electronic devices in response to occurrence of an event and controlling the communication unit to first transmit the selected information to a server.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to computing device headset input. In examples, sensor data from one or more sensors of a headset device are processed to identify implicit and/or explicit user input. A context may be determined for the user input, which may be used to process the identified input and generate an action that affects the behavior of a computing device accordingly. As a result, the headset device is usable to control one or more computing devices. As compared to other wearable devices, headset devices may be more prevalent and may therefore enable more convenient and more intuitive user input beyond merely providing audio output.

Systems and methods for automatically adjusting device volume based on learned volume preferences are disclosed herein. A first device receives a wireless signal from a second device. A signal strength of the wireless signal is determined, and a location of the second device is determined based on the signal strength of the wireless signal. Historical volume level data for the first device is retrieved from memory. A target volume level for the first device is determined based on the location of the second device and the historical volume level data. A volume setting of the first device is automatically adjusted to the target volume level.

Context-sensitive remote controls for use with electronic devices (e.g., eyewear device). The electronic device is configured to perform activities (e.g., email, painting, navigation, gaming). The context-sensitive remote control includes a display having a display area, a display driver coupled to the display, and a transceiver. The remote control additionally includes memory that stores controller layout configurations for display in the display area of the display by the display driver. A processor in the context-sensitive remote control is configured to establish, via the transceiver, communication with an electronic device, detect an activity currently being performed by the electronic device, select one of the controller layout configurations responsive to the detected activity, and present, via the display driver, the selected controller layout configuration in the display area of the display.

There is provided a device or the like capable of causing a result of an operator, remotely operating a working machine, perceiving a motion aspect of the working machine to approximate to a result of the operator perceiving a motion aspect of the working machine when the operator gets on the working machine. When there is represented a relative motion of a first component (lower traveling body 410, upper revolving body 420) and a second component (upper revolving body 420, bucket 445 (working unit)) that constitute working machine 40, based on a result of detecting an operation aspect of a remote operation device 20, control is performed on individual sound output aspects of a plurality of sound output devices 2220, 2221 and 2222, each arranged at different locations in a remote operation space for the operator who operates the remote operation device 20.

A signal strength of the wireless signal is determined, and a location of the second device is determined based on the signal strength of the wireless signal. Historical volume level data for the first device is retrieved from memory. A target volume level for the first device is determined based on the location of the second device and the historical volume level data. A volume setting of the first device is automatically adjusted to the target volume level.

A hand-held device having a touch sensitive surface uses a relative distance from an origin location to each of a plurality of touch zones of the touch sensitive surface activated by a user to select a one of the plurality of touch zones as being intended for activation by the user.

An example method for controlling an external electronic device of an electronic device, according to various embodiments, includes: receiving data information corresponding to at least one function of the external electronic device from an external electronic device connected to the electronic device; displaying a setting window for setting a user interface for controlling the external electronic device using the data information; selecting a control item corresponding to the at least one function included in the setting window according to user input reception; and setting and displaying the user interface corresponding to the selected control item.

A pillow remote controller using acoustic commands includes a pillow defining an open interior compartment configured for housing one or more pressure sensors electrically and operably coupled with an electronics enclosure. The electronics enclosure contains various electronic components including a power control and alarm circuit, an audio receive, de-code and function command circuit, a transmitter selector and interface circuit, and various transmitters for transmitting an operating function to an electronic product. The electronics are operable for receiving an acoustic command, de-coding the acoustic command, and providing a function command to the transmitter selector and interface circuit. The function command is interfaced with a particular type of transmitter and transmitted optically or wirelessly to the electronic product. One or more human presence sensors may be operably coupled with the power control and alarm circuit to provide an assurance of human presence before enabling operation.
