Sony Ericsson’s Mobile Phone/Universal Remote Control
By Staska on 01 Mar 07We all know that Sony is quite creative in the development of new gadgets for the home and personal use. We’ve seen quite a few of them over last months – like 3D Game Controller, Multimedia Cradle and Human Body Communication System.
Now Sony Ericsson has another interesting thingy designed for your mobile phone – the possibility for it to download interfaces and act as a remote control for any device.
The idea, described in patent application “Mobile communication terminal with virtual remote control” is pretty simple:
- take a mobile phone with a touchscreen
- add the interfaces for various remotes inside the phone
- add the possibility to download additional interfaces
- make the phone transmit different signals based on different interfaces
…and you have a ready made cellphone/universal remote that can control any electronic device in your home.
