Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communicating with a target device in a personal area network (PAN), when a multi-function remote controller (MRC) is outside the coverage area of the target device. The apparatus includes a proxy device which automatically forms a virtual PAN by setting up a pairing link with the target device to control the target device. Accordingly, a user may continuously control the target device irrespective of the location of the MRC.
