Abstract
Remote devices are managed using a portable electronic device. If a portable electronic device is determined to have entered an area associated with a local area network (LAN), a link between the portable electronic device and the LAN is established. User services are established between the portable electronic device and a remote server using the established link based on a user profile associated with the portable electronic device. Devices associated with the remote server communicatively coupled to the LAN are controlled using the portable electronic device.
