Abstract

A host system includes a machine-readable medium (112) containing media content and an apparatus for controlling presentation thereof (122). The apparatus includes a removable user interface (102) and a controller (106) coupled together. The RUI includes user inputs (104) and machine-executable instructions that are specific to the media content. The controller includes a processor, a program executed by said processor that interprets the machine-executable instructions of the RUI, and a library of instructions accessible to the program for communicating to the host system, in a protocol of the host system, commands relating to presentation of the media content. The program, in response to actuation of a user input, performs the steps of reading and interpreting machine-executable instructions of the RUI, accessing instructions in the library in accordance with the instructions read from the RUI, and communicating commands to the host system based on the accessed instructions in the library.
