Abstract

The present disclosure discloses methods for transferring programming data to electronic devices, such as VCRs (113). A device such as a personal computer (101) can be used to select programming data from a website displaying a listing of a television program to be recorded. The personal computer can then communicate this data to a transfer device (109) using DTMF tones (dual tone multiple frequency) to communicate with a data transfer device. The data transfer device can then accept the commands from the PC and translate them into infrared commands for programming the VCR. The user can then move the transfer device near the VCR and initiate a data transfer. The data transfer device may also receive commands from a touch-tone phone coupled to an answering machine to generate the DTMF tones to program the data transfer device. The data transfer device may then be used to generate IR commands for programming the user's VCR or other recording device. Additionally, the data transfer device can be incorporated into a detachable computer mouse.
