ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a focus on an focus item associated with a controllable item is determined. For example, the focus may be moving a pointer over an focus item displayed on a display. One or more functional actions for the controllable item are then determined based on the focus being on the focus item. For example, if the controllable item is a camera and the focus is on an icon for the camera, then one or more functional actions for the camera are determined. The one or more functional actions are then assigned to one or more inputs on a input device. The input device can now be used to perform the one or more functional actions by using the one or more inputs. For example, the user may select one of the inputs, which sends signals to a processing device. The processing device can then determine the functional action assigned to the input and cause the action to be performed with the controllable item.
