Voice operated remote control

1. A remote control device comprising:

a processor electrically coupled to a transmitter, the processor configured to wirelessly transmit, via the transmitter, electrical signals to a wireless hub to cause control of a display device in a first zone having first devices registered to the wireless hub, wherein the remote control device communicates with the wireless hub using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and in a low power mode communicates using a poll via bluetooth;

the processor configured to receive, from the wireless hub based on a user initiated source change, a control signal to assign one of a plurality of buttons for control of the display device;

a sound detection device electrically coupled to the processor;

the transmitter is configured to transmit to the wireless hub a first signal responsive to a voice command detected by the sound detection device to cause control of content and a second signal responsive to a gesture command detected by a motion sensing device to cause a source change on the display device and to cause control of another display device in a second zone having second devices; and

wherein the motion sensing device detects one of a predetermined set of physical motions of the remote control device.

2. The remote control device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless hub is in standby prior to transmission of the first signal.

3. The remote control device of claim 1 further comprising:

the processor further configured to send a command to substantially simultaneously display a first video output on the display device and to display a second video output on the another display device.

4. The remote control device of claim 3 , wherein the first video output and the second video output are different.

5. The remote control device of claim 3 , wherein the second video output includes complimentary content to the first video output.

6. The remote control device of claim 3 , wherein the second video output includes an alternate view of the first video output.

7. A method performed by a remote control device, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a processor wirelessly via a transmitter, electrical signals to a wireless hub to cause control of a display device in a first zone having first devices registered to the wireless hub, wherein the remote control device communicates with the wireless hub using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and in a low power mode communicates using a poll via bluetooth;

receiving, from the wireless hub based on a user initiated source change, a control signal to assign one of a plurality of buttons for control of the display device;

transmitting, by the transmitter to the wireless hub, a first signal responsive to a voice command detected by a sound detection device electrically coupled to the processor to cause control of content and a second signal responsive to a gesture command detected by a motion sensing device to cause a source change on the display device and to cause control of another display device in a second zone having second devices; and

wherein the motion sensing device detects one of a predetermined set of physical motions of the remote control device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the wireless hub is in standby prior to transmission of the first signal.

9. The method of claim 7 further comprising:

sending, by the processor, a command to substantially simultaneously display a first video output on the display device and to display a second video output on the another display device.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first video output and the second video output are different.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second video output includes complimentary content to the first video output.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second video output includes an alternate view of the first video output.

13. A remote control device comprising:

a processor configured to wirelessly control content on a display device in a first zone having first devices registered to a wireless hub, wherein the processor is electrically coupled to a transmitter and a sound detection device, wherein the remote control device communicates with the wireless hub using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and in a low power mode communicates using a poll via bluetooth;

the transmitter configured to receive, from the wireless hub based on a user initiated source change, a control signal to assign one of a plurality of buttons for control of the display device;

the sound detection device configured to detect a voice command;

the transmitter configured to transmit, to the wireless hub, a first signal having the voice command to change programming of the content;

a motion sensing device configured to detect one of a predetermined set of physical motions of the remote control device; and

the transmitter further configured to transmit, to the wireless hub based on the detected one of a predetermined set of physical motions of the remote control device, a second signal having a command to change a source and to cause control of another display device in a second zone having second devices.

14. The remote control device of claim 13 further comprising:

the processor configured to send a command to substantially simultaneously display a first video output on the display device and to display a second video output on the another display device.

15. The remote control device of claim 14 , wherein the first video output and the second video output are different.

16. The remote control device of claim 14 , wherein the second video output includes complimentary content to the first video output.

17. The remote control device of claim 14 , wherein the second video output includes an alternate view of the first video output.
