First Claim
1. A method for providing peer to peer remote control management between a helper smart device and a beneficiary smart device, comprising:
- registering, by the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device, with a secure server;
authenticating, by the helper smart device, with the secure server;
performing a discovery by at least one of the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device with respect to at least the other of the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device;
establishing a trust relationship between the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device by performing mutual authentication between the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device;
performing an auto connection discovery process to determine if the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device are on a same sub network;
establishing a peer to peer connection between the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device for performing a peer to peer remote control management session on a condition that the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device are on the same sub network; and
using the secure server to mediate discovery, establishment and maintenance of a peer to peer connection between the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device for performing a peer to peer remote control management session on a condition that the helper smart device and the beneficiary smart device are on different sub networks.

Abstract
Described herein is a method for providing peer to peer remote control management between a helper and a beneficiary mobile device. The method includes registering, by the helper and beneficiary mobile devices, with a secure server. The helper mobile device authenticates with the secure server. The helper or the beneficiary mobile device perform discovery with respect to the other device. A trust relationship is established between the helper and beneficiary mobile devices by performing mutual authentication. An auto connection discovery process is performed to determine if the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices are on a same sub network. A peer to peer connection is established between the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices if the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices are on the same sub network and a secure server mediates between the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices if they are on different sub networks.
