1. A method of providing at least one command to a remote target device in a local wireless network, comprising:
- moving a device a first time;
identifying a target device based on the determined first movement;
moving the device a second time;
determining whether said second movement corresponds with at least one movement characteristic associated with a command; and
transmitting the associated command to the identified remote target device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus to identify a remote target in a local wireless network and provide at least one command to the identified remote target. The remote target is identified and commanded or controlled by moving a device through a sequence of first and second movements. These movements may form a part of a gesture language set. The first movement may be carried out by pointing the device toward the remote target device to identify the remote target. If the second movement corresponds with at least one movement characteristic associated with a command, the command is provided to the identified remote target.

15. A mobile unit, comprising:
-
a processor; a transceiver coupled to the processor and configured to receive location information about a remote target device; a location determining unit coupled to the processor and configured to determine a location of the mobile unit; and a sensing unit coupled to the processor, said sensing unit comprising; a movement sensing circuit that is configured to sense movement of the sensing unit; and a direction sensing circuit configured to sense a heading of the sensing unit, wherein the processor is configured to identify the remote target device based on a heading sensed by the direction sensing circuit, a first movement sensed by the movement sensing circuit, and location information about the remote target device and mobile unit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
