Abstract
An electronic circuit is proposed for a wireless telephone terminal, configured to allow the use of devices present in another remote terminal with which it can communicate.
Claims7
An electronic circuit for a wireless telephone terminal, arranged to cooperate with a radiofrequency communication unit of the terminal, and with a set of devices of the terminal comprising at least one sensor, the circuit being configured, in a first mode of operation, to:
- collect data issuing from a first sensor of the terminal;
- analyze an evolution over time of data issuing from the first sensor in order to detect the occurrence of an event outside the terminal, based on this evolution;
- initiate a first communication, via the communication unit, with a wireless telephone network supporting wireless communications with the terminal, and, in the context of said first communication:
- command the communication unit to send to a remote terminal, via the wireless telephone network, a signal indicating detection of the occurrence of the event;
- and
- collect data issuing from the first or from a second sensor of the terminal;
- and
- engage in a second communication with the wireless telephone network, via the communication unit, and in the context of said second communication:
- send collected data issuing from the first or second sensor,
- send a list of sensors from the set of sensors of the terminal, and
- receive a signal identifying a sensor in the list in order to control its use in the transmission of data in the context of the second communication.
