Abstract

Described are mobile devices and methods that receive location data by a user device that is configured to perform a plurality of different control actions on one or more different remote systems/devices, receive gesture data from a sensor process the location data and the gesture data to determine a command that performs a control action and to determine a particular one of the remote systems/devices on which the command is to be performed, and cause a message that includes the determined command to the determined particular one of the remote systems/devices to perform the determined control action by the particular one of the systems/devices.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A mobile device comprises:
circuitry configured to:
receive location data of the mobile device, the device being configured to perform a plurality of different control actions on one or more remote systems and/or devices, which systems and/or devices are remote from the body of a user;
receive gesture data from a sensor built into the mobile device;
determine at least one of the one or more remote systems and/or devices on which the command is to be performed
process the location data and the gesture data to determine a command that performs a control action on the determined at least one of the one or more remote systems and/or devices; and
cause a message that includes the determined command to be sent from the mobile device to the determined particular one of the systems/devices to perform the determined control action by the particular one of the systems/devices.

2 . The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry includes a processor and the processor is also configured to:
authenticate the user for accessing and performing the control action on the particular one of the systems/devices.

3 . A mobile device comprises:
a processor device; a global positioning transceiver device; memory in communication with the processor device; and a storage device that stores a program of computing instructions for execution by the processor using the memory, the program comprising instructions configured to cause the processor to:
receive from the global positioning transceiver device location data of the mobile device, the mobile device being configured to perform a plurality of different control actions on one or more remote systems and/or devices, which systems and/or devices are remote from the body of a user;
receive gesture data from a sensor built into the mobile device;
determine at least one of the one or more remote systems and/or devices on which the command is to be performed
process the location data and the gesture data to determine a command that performs a control action on the determined at least one of the one or more remote systems and/or devices; and
cause a message that includes the determined command to be sent from the mobile device to the determined particular one of the systems/devices to perform the determined control action by the particular one of the systems/devices.

4 . The mobile device of claim 3 , wherein the device includes an accelerometer.

5 . The mobile device claim 3 , wherein the device includes a near-field transceiver.

6 . The mobile device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is also caused to send a message to the user device after the particular system/device performs the control action.

7 . The mobile device of claim 3 , wherein the mobile device is a smartwatch.

8 . The mobile device of claim 3 , wherein the user device is a smartwatch that comprises a display device and the program comprises instructions to:
render a graphical user interface on the display device.

9 . The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions to render the graphical user interface comprise instructions to:
render a screen that comprises icons corresponding to applications executed by the processor in the mobile device to control the systems and/or devices.

10 . The mobile device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions to render the graphical user interface comprise instructions to:
render a second set of screens upon selection of one of the icons, which second set of screens rendering a second set of icons that are used to perform the control action.

11 . A system comprises:
a mobile device comprising:
a processor device;
a global positioning transceiver device;
memory in communication with the processor device; and
a storage device that stores a program of computing instructions for execution by the processor using the memory, the program comprising instructions configured to cause the processor to:
receive from the global positioning transceiver device location data of the mobile device, the mobile device being configured to perform a plurality of different control actions on one or more remote systems and/or devices, which systems and/or devices are remote from the body of a user;
receive gesture data from a sensor built into the mobile device;
determine at least one of the one or more remote systems and/or devices on which the command is to be performed
process the location data and the gesture data to determine a command that performs a control action on the determined at least one of the one or more remote systems and/or devices; and
cause a message that includes the determined command to be sent from the mobile device to the determined particular one of the systems/devices to perform the determined control action by the particular one of the systems/devices; and

a remote system/device that receives the message and performs the determined command.

12 . The system of claim 11 wherein the system is a security system and the mobile device is a smartwatch and the mobile device arms or disarms the security system when the mobile device is within a defined proximity to the security system.
