`
`Given the desire to watch various
`World Wide Web media on a
`family’s primary television set,
`and to control this operation from
`the comfort of one’s couch, there
`is a need to operate a television
`set or other display remotely from
`a personal
`computing device,
`such as a mobile phone.It also is
`desirable to allow a user
`to
`perform a general Web search to
`locate and capture Web media,
`and to control a television or
`other display remotely using the
`personal computing device.
