System and method for remotely controlling bluetooth enabled electronic equipment
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a Bluetooth enabled electronic equipment configured to initiate a pairing mode to authorize a virtual remote controller transfer, the pairing mode being initiated responsive to actuation of a selectable control disposed on said Bluetooth enabled electronic equipment, the Bluetooth enabled electronic equipment being in a default non-pairing state when not in pairing mode to reduce cross-talk; and
a Bluetooth enabled wireless device configured to activate a setup mode to pair with said Bluetooth enabled electronic equipment, and configured to stream from the Internet said virtual remote controller without the virtual remote controller being first stored on the Bluetooth enabled electronic equipment, the virtual remote controller being streamed through a wireless connection to said Bluetooth enabled electronic equipment and an Internet connection of the Bluetooth enabled electronic equipment.
