Abstract
Apparatus, method, media and signals for controlling a wireless communication appliance are disclosed. A method implemented by the apparatus, media and signals involves producing a message signal comprising an address portion and a payload portion, in response to an action signal received at an adjunct apparatus, causing the adjunct apparatus to perform a function identified in the payload portion when the address portion satisfies a condition and transmitting the message signal to the wireless communication appliance when the address portion fails to satisfy the condition.
Claims47
A method of controlling a wireless communication appliance, the method comprising:
- producing a message signal comprising an address portion and a payload portion, in response to an action signal received at an adjunct apparatus;
- causing said adjunct apparatus to perform a function identified in said payload portion when said address portion satisfies a condition;
- and
- transmitting said message signal to said wireless communication appliance when said address portion fails to satisfy said condition.
An adjunct apparatus for a wireless communication appliance, the apparatus comprising:
- a message signal generator operable to produce a message signal comprising an address portion and a payload portion, in response to an action signal received at said adjunct apparatus;
- a functional block operable to perform a function indicated by said payload portion when said address portion satisfies a condition;
- and
- a transmitter operable to transmit said message signal to said wireless communication appliance when said address portion fails to satisfy said condition.
An adjunct apparatus for controlling a wireless communication appliance, the apparatus comprising:
- means for producing a message signal comprising an address portion and a payload portion, in response to an action signal received at an adjunct apparatus;
- means for causing said adjunct apparatus to perform a function identified in said payload portion when said address portion satisfies a condition;
- and
- means for transmitting said message signal to the wireless communication appliance when said address portion fails to satisfy said condition.
A computer readable medium for providing codes operable to direct a processor circuit to control a wireless communication appliance, by:
- producing a message signal comprising an address portion and a payload portion, in response to an action signal received at an adjunct apparatus;
- performing a function identified in said payload portion when said address portion satisfies a condition;
- and
- transmitting said message signal to the wireless communication appliance when said address portion fails to satisfy said condition.
A signal representing codes for directing a processor circuit to control a wireless communication appliance, the signal comprising:
- a first segment for directing the processor circuit to produce a message signal comprising an address portion and a payload portion, in response to an action signal received at an adjunct apparatus;
- a second segment for directing the processor circuit to perform a function identified in said payload portion when said address portion satisfies a condition;
- and
- a third segment for directing the processor circuit to transmit said message signal to the wireless communication appliance when said address portion fails to satisfy said condition.
