Abstract
According to one embodiment, a wireless control system having an electronic device with a wireless communication function and a remote control module for remotely operating the electronic device, wherein the remote control module includes a control module. A control module configured to transmit a authentication information to a other device via a proximity communication module and receive remote control command information for remotely operating the other device from the other device via the proximity communication module so as to store it in a storage module in order to allow the other device to start a process for establishing wireless connection with the electronic device based on the authentication information.
Claims10
A wireless control system having an electronic device with a wireless communication function and a remote control module for remotely operating the electronic device, wherein the remote control module comprising:
- a remote communication module configured to remotely operate the electronic device;
- a storage module configured to store authentication information including information for identifying the electronic device and for wirelessly connecting to the electronic device;
- a proximity communication module configured to perform proximity communication with an another device having the wireless communication function of the same wireless standard as that of the electronic device;
- and
- a control module configured to transmit the authentication information to said another device via the proximity communication module in order to allow said another device to start a process for establishing wireless connection with the electronic device based on the authentication information and receive remote control command information for remotely operating said another device from said another device via the proximity communication module so as to store the remote control command information in the storage module.
A wireless device capable of wirelessly communicating with an electronic device, comprising:
