Remote Control Manager
A program to learn and categorize your remote control codes. Uses the USB-UIRT device to learn codes from your remote controls.
Remote Control GUI Designer
This is where you can create remote control layouts using your learned codes. You can create buttons, change their size and color, change the fonts and move them around.
Remote Control GUI
This is the actual remote control program. It loads one of your layouts and actually executes the commands when the buttons are pressed. The Remote Control GUI can communicate directly with the IR device. This is the best solution as long as the computer running the software is physically connected to the IR device. The Remote Control GUI can also communicate via sockets to the Remote Control Server mentioned below. The Remote Control Server then communicates directly with the IR device. This scenario can be quite useful. In my case, my HTPC is connected to the IR device, and runs the Remote Control Server. By configuring the Remote Control GUI program to use sockets, I can control all my equipment in the livingroom right from my laptop in my office. Of course, this can work over the Internet as well. With simple port forwarding in your router, you could control your equipment away from home, via the Internet, if the need arises.
Remote Control Server
The Remote Control Server, like previously described, communicates with the the IR device and allows controlling your equipment over your LAN or even the Internet using socket communications.
