Proximity-enabled remote control

The claims specifically describe a system where a mobile phone determines its location and, based on that location, displays a tailored remote control interface. You can then use this interface to send commands from your phone, which are routed through a remote server to control a specific object. The system also allows for feedback from the object to be sent back to your phone via the server.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread IoT standardization and mature short-range wireless protocols. Today, integrating with smart objects and their controllers via a remote server is significantly more feasible.
