Abstract

Provided is a remote mobile device access and control method, and particularly a generic approach for providing remote mobile device access and control. To this end, there is provided a method for a user to access and control his/her mobile device at a remote location by using a remote mobile device access and control architecture that allows the user to access an application and data of his/her mobile device.

Claims

1. A method for accessing and controlling a remote mobile device, which has at least one of an application or a data, by using a terminal, the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting a request for establishing a communication link from the terminal to the remote mobile device by using a preset password, and establishing the communication link with the terminal at the request of the terminal by the remote mobile device when the request for establishing the communication link is made using the preset password;

if the communication link is established, starting a finite state manager, and transmitting a control command for controlling the application or data of the remote mobile device by using a speech recognition or TTS (Text-To-Speech) function to the remote mobile device by the terminal; and

accessing the application or data, and executing a corresponding command according to the control command from the terminal by the remote mobile device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the preset password comprises a missed call count or a Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) password.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of establishing the communication link comprises:

transmitting the request for establishing the communication link from the terminal to the remote mobile device by using the preset password, and authenticating the terminal by the remote mobile device when the request for establishing the communication link is made using the preset password; and

performing authentication at least once more, and establishing the communication link with the terminal if the remote mobile device authenticates the terminal.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising scanning a state event queue indicative of a remote mobile device state by a remote finite state manager of the terminal, wherein the remote mobile device state includes a State Idle, a State Instruction, a State Command, and a State End.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the State Idle is a default state of the remote finite state manager where there is no pending event in the state event queue.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the State Instruction is an instruction state of the remote finite state manager where the remote finite state manager reads a predefined remote extensible Markup Language (XML) instruction file.

7. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the State Command is a command state of the remote finite state manager where the finite state manager reads a remote XML command file.

8. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the State End is an end state of the remote finite state manager where the remote finite state manager ends the remote finite state manager.
