Configurable network of personal environment electronic equipment
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a network of personal environment electronic equipment, the method comprises:
- receiving, by a master component of the network of personal environment electronic equipment, a user input identifying one of a plurality of slave components of the network of personal environment electronic equipment to produce identified slave component;
retrieving, by the master component, an application relating to operation of the identified slave component based on the user input;
establishing, by the master component, a connection via a communication channel with the identified slave component;
receiving, by the master component, an instructions regarding operation of the identified slave component; and
when the connection with the identified slave component is established, providing, by the master component, at least a representation of the instruction to the identified slave component via the communication channel.

Abstract
A method for configuring a network of personal environment electronic equipment begins by receiving, by a master component of the network of personal environment electronic equipment, a user input identifying one of a plurality of slave components of the network of personal environment electronic equipment to produce identified slave component. The method continues by retrieving, by the master component, an application relating to operation of the identified slave component based on the user input. The method continues by establishing, by the master component, a connection via a communication channel with the identified slave component. The method continues by receiving, by the master component, an instructions regarding operation of the identified slave component. The method continues, when the connection with the identified slave component is established, by providing, by the master component, at least a representation of the instruction to the identified slave component via the communication channel.

15. A master component of a network of personal environment electronic equipment, the master component comprises:
-
a network interface module;
a processing module operably coupled to the network interface module; and
memory operably coupled to the processing module, wherein the memory stores operational instructions that cause the processing module to;
receive a user input identifying one of a plurality of slave components of the network of personal environment electronic equipment to produce identified slave component;
retrieve an application relating to operation of the identified slave component based on the user input;
establish a connection with the identified slave component via the network interface module and a communication channel;
receive an instructions regarding operation of the identified slave component; and
when the connection with the identified slave component is established, provide at least a representation of the instruction to the identified slave component via the communication channel. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
