`
`IPR2019-01614 (’325 Patent) – Claim 1
`1. A first device for transmitting a command to control a functional operation of a second device, the first device comprising:
`
`a receiver;
`
`a transmitter;
`
`a processing device coupled to the receiver and the transmitter; and
`
`a memory storing instructions executable by the processing device, the instructions causing the processing device to:
`generate a key code using a keystroke indicator received from a third device in communication with first device via use of the
`receiver, the keystroke indicator having data that indicates an input element of the third device that has been activated;
`format the key code for transmission to the second device; and
`
`transmit the formatted key code to the second device in a key code signal via use of the transmitter;
`wherein the generated key code comprises a one of a plurality of key code data stored in a codeset, wherein the one of the
`plurality of key code data is selected from the codeset as a function of the keystroke indicator received from the third device,
`wherein each of the plurality of key code data stored in the codeset comprises a series of digital ones and/or digital zeros, and
`wherein the codeset further comprises time information that describes how a digital one and/or a digital zero within the selected
`one of the plurality of key code data is to be represented in the key code signal to be transmitted to the second device.
