1. Mobile Universal Soft-Controller
Problem
More feature-loaded devices require lengthy/technical manuals.
Having to break out the manual and hunt down the 7th remote control is an inconvenience.
Impact
Users could spend more time controlling and less time learning how to control the devices.
Lower cost of devices controlled this way due to moving the logic from the device to a plug-in of the controller.
Finer grained features.
One controller for a multitude of devices.
Approach
Develop a generic hardware interface module compatible with many controllable devices.
Develop a communication interface between the new module and a wireless ‘soft-controller’.
Develop a base application that uses MBNLI and plug-ins for maximum user friendliness and scalability.
