Abstract
Various methods and devices control operating components using a device operation program, control a user interface device using a menu program to display a device menu having menu options, receive menu choices in response to the device menu, control the operating components based on the menu choices, and convert the device menu into a browser-compatible menu compatible with internet protocols using the menu reproduction program. The browser-compatible menu has the same menu options included in the device menu. These methods and devices provide the browser-compatible menu to external devices using a wired or wireless communications device, receive external device input from the external devices responding to the browser-compatible menu, supply, from the wired or wireless communications device, the external device input to the device operation program and control the operating components by the device operation program based on the external device input.
