Apple Researching Methods for 'Pushing' User Interfaces to Accessories from Media Devices

That sounds really promising. Most GUIs out there are irritating. It's up to Apple to sort out this mess.

Pushing a consistent user interface layout between devices is nothing new. This concept was demo'ed at the MIT Media Lab over ten years ago. I saw the demo myself at a SigGraph. The specific demo was a media player on a big screen TV and a remote that also functioned as a chordless phone. I would like to see the specific claims.

Also, when these patent and patent app disclosures are written up here, it would be helpful to publish the patent application number so us interested can jump right to uspto.gov to get the specific claims.
 
I love that :apple: is thinking of developing this concept, however this is coming from a company that cannot standardize UI across it multiple applications within the same OS.

Isn't it ironic. :p;):D
 
Not a bad idea, but it's a long way from any decent implementation, and by the time it gets there the details will be complex and force awkward design compromises. It's the nature of this kind of innovation.
