摘要

Arrangement for remote control of devices (2, 3, 5), especially test devices and test stands for motor vehicle maintenance using a mobile communication device (1), e.g. a mobile phone, that has a separate transmission channel in addition to a visible information display and verbal communication. Remote control signals are sent over the separate channel with corresponding input and output choices shown on the display. When operating as a remote control device the keypad acts as a function controller.
