Abstract: A far end remote control method and system by a short message and Bluetooth function operation are used to control output/input devices at a far end. The system mainly comprises a cellular phone, controlling device and controlled devices. Here, the method comprises the following steps: first, a cellular phone transmits a short message control command to a controlling device through a cellular phone network; the controlling device searches a controlled device appointed in the command; the controlling device builds a Bluetooth Serial Port Profile connection with the controlled device after the appointed controlled device is found; the controlling device transmits the short message control command to the controlled device through the connection; the controlled device controls an output or input device after receiving the command; the controlled device transmits an execution result back to the controlling device; the controlling device reports the execution result back to the cellular phone by a short message; the controlling device disconnects the connection with the controlled device and waits for a next control command after the report is completed. Thereby, the control range can be expanded to the all places in the world that the cellular phone is applicable. And, the controlled device can built a temporary network with the controlling device, the structure will not be changed even if the number of the controlled devices is increased or decreased.

Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed for establishing device interaction among electronic devices of an environment. The device has a transmitter, receiver, memory storing interaction rules and a processor for implementing the interaction rules in association with the transmitter, receiver, and other devices of the environment. The device also includes components for performing the device specific functions and a state sensor for determining the logical or physical state of the device. The methods involve detecting a change of state at a device and then communicating in accordance with the interaction rules thereafter. The communication may involve broadcasting change of state messages to the environment, directing change of state messages to specific devices, and directing requests and/or directing replies to requests. Through device interaction, changes of state may automatically occur at one device in response to a change of state at another in order to reduce the burden on the user.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for accessing a quiescent mobile vehicle using a wireless communication system. A vehicle communication device is placed into a discontinuous-receive mode. The vehicle communication device is periodically awakened to a service-ready mode based on the discontinuous-receive mode. A determination is made whether a short message service communication is waiting to be delivered during the service-ready mode. A short message service communication is received in response to the short message service communication determination, and an operation is performed based on the received short message service communication.

Abstract: A method of directing communication between addressable, electronically-controllable appliances using a generalized pointing device is provided. The pointing device can communicate with dissimilar types of target appliance, and each appliance is associated with an appliance interface that makes the target appliance compatible with the pointing device. Use of the method to direct communication between appliances is believed to allow the convenience associated with the use of a computer's graphical user interface (GUI) to be realized in communication with physical objects, i.e., the target appliances. In particular, the “drag-and-drop” method of using a GUI may be analogous to the pointer-mediated interaction between appliances provided herein. An embodiment of the method includes using the pointing device for: transmitting a selection signal to the first appliance, transmitting a command instructing the first appliance to transmit data, transmitting a selection signal to a second appliance, and transmitting a command instructing the second appliance to receive the transmitted data. The data transmitted between appliances may be sent along a pointer-independent transmission path between the appliances, such as over a network. Additionally or alternatively, data may be transmitted from one appliance to the pointer, and then from the pointer to the other appliance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for remote control and/or monitoring of a multimedia system includes processing that begins when a hand held device transmits a remote control/monitoring request to a server. The processing continues once a communication path is established between the hand held device and the server by having the server determine remote control and monitoring privileges of the hand held device. If the hand held device has at least a minimum level of remote control and monitoring privileges, the processing continues as the server processes the remote control/monitoring request with respect to at least one client to produce operational monitoring data. The processing continues as the server provides the operational monitoring data to the hand held device via the communication path.
