| 20110287757 | REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A remote control system and method for controlling and interacting with a variety of devices and systems is disclosed. The system comprises at least one command server which is operable to receive control commands from a handheld communications device and to generate and transmit command signals in response to the received control commands, the transmitted command signals interacting with one or more devices controlled by the system. In one embodiment, the handheld communications device is operable to exchange data with an account server that maintains data and configuration information for the system and the devices to be controlled by it over a first communications modality. The handheld communications device transfers control commands and other data with the command server via a second communications modality and the handheld communications device can transfer data between the account server and the command server as needed. The system can support multiple devices to be controlled, multiple command servers, which can each be associated with one or more devices to be controlled, and multiple handheld communications devices. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20100297941 | REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD EMPLOYING CELLULAR TELEPHONES WHICH INCLUDE SHORT RANGE RADIO TRANSCEIVERS - A novel remote control system and method is disclosed which includes a user control and a control module. The system employs one or more cellular telephones as the user control which reduces the cost of the system. Further, by employing the inherent functionality of the cellular telephone, novel modes of interacting with the control module and the target devices it is connected to can be achieved. In the case of the cellular telephone being a smartphone, more advanced modes of interacting with the control module and the target devices can be achieved.
