Remote control arrangement
First Claim
1. A control and presentation system capable of providing data, wherein the data is at least one of source data or additional data, to a user of a mobile device and for controlling the mobile device, the mobile device having a processor, memory, one or more wireless communication mechanisms including at least a near field communication mechanism, and a user interface mechanism, the system comprising;
- a data store for storing the data and for making the data available using a wireless communication mechanism;
a near field data communication device for transmitting at least part of, or identification of the data which includes at least one trigger condition to the mobile device within near field communication distance when a user brings the mobile into near field communication proximity of the near field data communication device; and
wherein the mobile device, using one or more wireless communication mechanisms;
stores, in the memory of the mobile device, the data transmitted from the near field data communication device,determines, using the processor of the mobile device and independent of user interaction, when the at least one trigger condition is true, andif the at least one trigger condition is true, controls the user interface mechanism of the mobile device to present at least a portion of the data stored in the memory to the user of the mobile device.

Abstract
The present invention related generally to an arrangement for delivering information to the user of a mobile device where the information presented to the user is associated with information that has a temporal or contextual or location based association with other information also presented to the user. In one example the mobile device is a devices used to remotely control one or more controllable devices, such as a television, personal video recorder, and/or digital radio receiver, and additional multi-media information is made available to the user interface of the remote control to the user at the time the source information is being viewed/listened to or provided to the user regardless of when the source was generated or broadcast.

15. A method of control and presentation for providing data, wherein the data is at least one of source data or additional data, to a user of a mobile device and for controlling the mobile device, the mobile device having a processor, memory, one or more wireless communication mechanisms including at least a near field communication (NFC) mechanism, and a user interface mechanism, the method comprising the steps;
-
storing data in a data store and for making the data available using a wireless communication mechanism; providing a NFC device for transmitting at least part of, or identification of data including at least one trigger condition to the mobile device within near field communication distance when a user brings the mobile into near field communication proximity of the near field data communication device, wherein the mobile device, using one or more wireless communication mechanisms; stores, in the memory of the mobile device, the data transmitted from the near field data communication device, determines, using the processor of the mobile device and independent of user interaction, when the at least one trigger condition is true, and if the at least one trigger condition is true, controls the user interface mechanism of the mobile device to present at least a portion of the data stored in the memory to the user of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
