A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING AN APPLIANCE (120) INCLUDING A FIRST WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT (122) IS DISCLOSED. IN ONE ASPECT, THE METHOD AND SYSTEM PROVIDE A PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICE (110) FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING AN APPLIANCE. THE PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICE INCLUDES A PROCESSOR (114), A SECOND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT (112) COUPLED WITH THE PROCESSOR, AND A CONTROL PROGRAM (260) FOR USE BY THE PROCESSOR. UPON A QUERY PROVIDED FROM THE SECOND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT TO THE FIRAT WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT, AN INTERFACE (270) RESIDING ON THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED FROM THE APPLIANCE TO THE PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICE. THIS ALLOWS THE CONTROL PROGRAM TO CONTROL THE APPLIANCE USING THE INTERFACE. IN OTHER ASPECT, THE METHOD AND SYSTEM INCLUDE PROVIDING THE INTERFACE RESIDING ON THE APPLIANCE. THE INTERFACE IS CAPABLE OF BEING UPLOADED TO A PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICE INCLUDING A PROCESSOR ,A CONTROL PROGRAM, AND A SECOND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT. IN OTHER ASPECT, THE METHOD AND SYSTEM INCLUDE PROVIDING A COMMAND FROM THE SECOND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT OF THE PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICE TO THE FIRST WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT OF THE APPLIANCE, EXECUTING THE COMMAND USING THE APPLIANCE, AND PROVIDING A RESPONSE FROM THE FIRST WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT OF THE APPLIANCE TO THE SECOND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PORT OF THE PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICE.THE MOST ILLUSTRATICE DRAWING IS
