Abstract
A method for managing a remote electronic device using a user interface on an electronic device. The electronic device is operatively connected to a database which associates, for each given device identifier, alternative argument values and graphical elements. The method includes: receiving a user input through the user interface on the electronic device; determining a first device identifier based on the user input; accessing the database to retrieve a first graphical element associated with a first alternative argument value of the first device identifier, the first alternative argument value matching the user input; and rendering the user input by outputting the retrieved first graphical element.
