Abstract

A host device has a hardware-based remote control mode and a softwarebased remote control mode. The availability of each of the hardware- and software-based remote control modes is monitored. Client device remote control of the host device is selectively switched between the hardware- and softwarebased remote control modes, based on the monitored availability of each remote control mode.
