WIRELESS COORDINATION OF APPARATUS INTERACTION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving communication at a main apparatus, the communication being directed to a user of the main apparatus;
maintaining characteristic information regarding a user interface in another apparatus;
creating a message comprising at least image information usable for displaying an image on the user interface, the image information being created based at least in part upon the received communication and the characteristic information; and
sending the message to the other apparatus via a wireless link for displaying the image on the user interface of the other apparatus.

Abstract
A system for implementing wireless control between apparatuses. In at least one scenario, an apparatus may, after an event (e.g., receiving wireless communication), create a wireless message based on the event, and may then send the wireless message to a peripheral apparatus. The peripheral apparatus may utilize some or all of the message data to formulate and display a user interface. Inputs (e.g., soft-coded or hardware based buttons) in the peripheral device may be actuated in accordance with the user interface, which may result in a response message being sent to the apparatus. The response message may, in turn, trigger functionality in the apparatus.
