A remote controller 106 transmits a wireless signal to an accessory 104 connected to a host device 102 such as a mobile phone or media player. The accessory transmits a representation of the wireless signal to the host device which assigns a function to the wireless signal and transmits an identifier associated with the function and wireless signal to the accessory. On receiving subsequent wireless signals from the remote controller, the accessory transmits the identifier (which is smaller in size than the wireless signal) to the host device, therefore minimizing the amount of data transferred between the host device and the accessory. The host device can learn signals from (and thus be remotely operated by) a variety of different remote controls.
