Methods, systems, and products self-identify an electronic device to a remote control. The remote control queries the electronic device, and the electronic device sends a response. A collision avoidance mechanism allows difference devices to respond to the remote control.
대표청구항▼
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by an electronic device, a query associated with a remote control;determining, by the electronic device, a response to the query;determining, by the electronic device, a category associated with the query;querying, by the electronic device, an electronic database
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by an electronic device, a query associated with a remote control;determining, by the electronic device, a response to the query;determining, by the electronic device, a category associated with the query;querying, by the electronic device, an electronic database for the category, the electronic database electronically associating intervals of time and categories including the category associated with the query;identifying, by the electronic device, an interval of time of the intervals of time in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the category; andsending, by the electronic device, the response to the remote control within the interval of time. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the response based on the category. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the interval of time based on a random number. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising expiring the interval of time. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising invoking a timer that counts the interval of time. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving an acknowledgment of the response. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring for an acknowledgment of the response. 8. A system, comprising: a hardware processor; anda memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:receiving a query associated with a remote control;determining a response to the query;determining a category associated with the query;querying an electronic database for the category, the electronic database electronically associating intervals of time and categories including the category associated with the query;identifying an interval of time of the intervals of time in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the category; andsending the response within the interval of time to the remote control. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise determining the response based on the category. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise determining the interval of time based on a random number. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise expiring the interval of time. 12. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise invoking a timer that counts the interval of time. 13. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise receiving an acknowledgment of the response. 14. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise monitoring for an acknowledgment of the response. 15. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising: receiving a query associated with a remote control;determining a response to the query;determining a category associated with the query;querying an electronic database for the category, the electronic database electronically associating intervals of time and categories including the category associated with the query;identifying an interval of time of the intervals of time in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the category; andsending the response within the interval of time to the remote control. 16. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise determining the response based on the category. 17. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise determining the interval of time based on a random number. 18. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise expiring the interval of time. 19. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise invoking a timer that counts the interval of time. 20. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise monitoring for an acknowledgment of the response.
