A new Apple Patent filing has been unearthed this week for a new mobile application that can be used to enhance the control and viewing of the small Apple TV set-top box.
The new Apple patent was discovered over at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is titled ”Browsing remote content using a native user interface”.
The Apple Insider website explains a little more about how the new Apple Patent functions with Apple TV.
“Unlike Apple’s current Remote app, which employs a bespoke UI tailored specifically for the iPhone or iPad, the proposed iteration would dynamically “size down” an Apple TV’s GUI based on semantic cues sent to the client device from a source Apple TV or Mac running iTunes. Using this method allows for a much richer user experience that moves beyond the existing digital reproduction of remote control hardware.
For example, the app can display a full Apple TV interface — or icon matrix — remotely, including media descriptions, posters, ratings, purchasing options and more.”
