System and method for remotely controlling network resources
First Claim
1. A method for interconnecting a personal network, the method comprising:
- interconnecting a plurality of satellites that form at least a part of the personal network; and
enabling a first satellite in the plurality of satellites to (i) access media resources on at least a second satellite in the plurality of satellites, (ii) initiate the second satellite to perform an operation for generating a media output from one or more of the media resources, (iii) direct the second satellite to stream data corresponding to the media output to the first satellite, and (iv) generate a remote media output from the streamed data;
wherein the first satellite and the second satellite are remotely located from one another.

Abstract
A personal network may be established by interconnecting a plurality of satellites as part of the personal network. Each satellite may configured to communicate with one or more other satellites. On any given one of the plurality of satellites, data indicating a connectivity status for the one or more other satellites is automatically received, and information indicating a capability of the one or more other satellites is automatically received. The given satellite may be configured to enable at least one other corresponding satellite in the plurality of satellites to be made available for use, so that a capability of the at least one other corresponding satellite is made available for the given satellite.

20. A method for interconnecting a personal network, the method comprising:
-
interconnecting a plurality of satellites that form at least a part of the personal network; and
enabling a first satellite in the plurality of satellites to initiate a second satellite to perform one or more operations that results in a set of data, wherein the first satellite has a first location, and the second satellite has a second location that is remote from the first location; and
in response to the first satellite initiating the second satellite, enabling at least one of the first satellite and the second satellite to cause the set of data to be streamed from the second location to the first location. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method for interconnecting a personal network, the method comprising:
-
interconnecting a plurality of satellites that form at least a part of the personal network;
receiving a user-selection of a first satellite in the plurality of satellites to control a second satellite in the plurality of satellite, wherein the first satellite has a first location, and the second satellite has a second location that is remote from the first location;
enabling the first satellite to control the second satellite in order to at least cause the second satellite to perform one or more operations that results in a set of data; and
enabling at least one of the first satellite and the second satellite to transfer the set of data to the first satellite. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
