METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AS A REMOTE CONTROL, REMOTELY CONTROLLABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A method (200) of configuring a wireless communication device (120) such that the wireless communication device can become operable as a remote control of an electronic device (100) is disclosed. The method comprises storing (210)a pointer to a remote source (160) in the electronic device (100), the remote source comprising control software for enabling the wireless communication device (120) to remotely control the electronic device; establishing (220) a communication link between the electronic device (100) and the wireless communication device (120); communicating (230) the pointer from the electronic device (100) to the wireless communication device (120); connecting (240) the wireless communication device (120) to the remote source (160); and installing (250) the control software on the wireless communication device (120). By storing a pointer such as a URL in an remotely controllable electronic device (100) the control software for the electronice device (100) can be retrievedwith minimal user interaction. The application further discloses an electronic device (100) comprising such a pointer and a wireless communication device (120) for receiving such a pointer.
