1. A method of controlling a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising:
- establishing a communications protocol for controlling the WTRU through a wireless network connection;
providing a user control interface at a control location separate from the WTRU;
establishing a wireless network connection on a multiuser network; and
providing control communication between the WTRU and the control location through the wireless network connection.

Abstract
A user interface is utilized to establish control communications through a wireless cellular network and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The control information is then used to provide user function control and can be used to provide additional data to the user interface, such as location information regarding the WTRU.

26. A method for tracking a subject object or person by use of a wireless network, the method comprising:
-
providing a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) as a tracked object;
establishing a communications protocol for controlling the WTRU through a wireless network connection;
establishing a wireless network connection on a multiuser network;
providing communication between the WTRU and a tracking terminal through the wireless network connection; and
providing information concerning a status of the WTRU to the tracking terminal through said communication between the WTRU and the tracking terminal. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
