SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA COMMUNICATION

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method to enable a mobile device to function as a user interface to a remote application. The method includes actuating a user-actuated control on the mobile device to generate a device-output signal in accordance with a first protocol; transmitting the device-output signal to a wireless base station located on the same premises as the mobile device; establishing communication between the wireless base station and the remote application having a user interface that accepts a user-command signal in accordance with a second protocol that is incompatible with the circuitry and programming of the mobile device; generating a constructed-input signal based on the device-output signal; and transmitting the constructed-input signal to the remote application as the user-command signal in accordance with the second protocol to permit the mobile device to function as a controller for the remote application.
