1. A system comprising:

  • at least a first command issuing device and at least one second command receiving device, each including control circuitry and short-range radio communication circuitry; and

    a first functional profile allowing execution of a first function,wherein the system is configured to use at least the first functional profile allowing execution of the first function,wherein the first functional profile allows the first command issuing device to generate a first coded message,wherein the first function is executed by the at least one second command receiving device upon receipt of the first coded message by the second device, andwherein the system is configured such that the second command receiving device uses the first functional profile to execute a second function, different from the first function, in response to receipt of the first coded message,wherein the first functional profile specifies general behaviors that the first command issuing device and the at least one second command receiving device use for communication and execution of functions,wherein the first functional profile is a Bluetooth device profile, andwherein the first function and the second function, different from the first function, are both executed by the second command receiving device upon receipt of the first coded message generated by the first command issuing device.
