System and method of using the system

A method comprising:

• establishing a near field communication link between a first mobile apparatus and a second apparatus, where the first mobile apparatus is remote from the second apparatus;
• enabling information to be input at the first mobile apparatus to enable control of the remote apparatus;
• providing an indication to the user of the first mobile apparatus of how the input information may be used to control the second apparatus;
• sending data dependent upon the input information from the first mobile apparatus to the second apparatus to enable control of the second apparatus:
• receiving the data dependent upon the input information at the second apparatus;
• decoding the received data to retrieve the input information;
• and
• controlling the second apparatus in accordance with the retrieved information.

An apparatus comprising:

• a near field communication transceiver configured to enable a near field communication link to be established with a remote apparatus;
• a user interface configured to enable a user to input information into the apparatus wherein the input information enables control of the remote apparatus and the user interface is also configured to provide an indication of how the input information may be used to control the remote apparatus;
• and
• a transmitter configured to send data dependent upon the input information to the remote apparatus to enable the input information to be used to control the remote apparatus.
