Abstract
A conventional remote control (or remote control unit (RCU)) may include buttons have fixed functionality such as, for example, channel control, volume control, specific application opening, etc. The remote control also may be unused space (e.g., no buttons or other controls) in areas where the user grips and holds the remote control. An improved remote control (or RCU) may include electrophoretic ink (electronic ink or E-Ink) or similar technology to implement dynamically changing buttons. Additionally, the improved remote control may use electrophoretic ink in unused areas to provide a display area on the remote control for user notifications, advertisements, and other purposes.
