Method, system and computer readable medium for providing an output signal having a theme to a device in a short distance wireless network
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a first device to provide a first output signal responsive to a first short-range radio signal;
a second device to provide a second output signal responsive to a second short-range radio signal; and
a cellular device to generate a first cellular signal that identifies a first type of device of the first device and a second type of device of the second device, and generate the first and the second short-range radio signals responsive to a second cellular signal, wherein the second cellular signal includes a first multimedia file used to generate the first output signal and a second multimedia file used to generate the second output signal, and wherein a first content of the first multimedia file and a second content of the second multimedia files are thematically related, and wherein the first type of device and second type of device are different.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer readable medium allows a user to select an output signal for device/terminal in short distance wireless network. In embodiments of the present invention, the output signal is a ring tone, alarm, background image, vibration signal, font type, or portion of a motion picture. In embodiments of the present invention, a system comprises a first and second device, in a short distance wireless network, generating a first and second output signal. A cellular device generates a first and a second short-range radio signals responsive to a cellular signal from a cellular network. The cellular signal includes a first multimedia file for the first device and a second multimedia file for the second device. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first multimedia file and second multimedia file are thematically related. In an embodiment of the present invention, a processing device is coupled to the cellular network and stores the first and second multimedia files. In an embodiment of the present invention, a user selects a theme on a device or at a web site in order to change the output signals in the short distance wireless network. In an embodiment of the present invention, the output signals are changed periodically without user intervention. In still a further embodiment of the present invention, promoters or users pay a telecommunication network provider for conveniently and safely changing the output signals.
