Abstract (en)

The method involves establishing a connection between a fixed terminal (1) and a mobile terminal (7). An interface (8) having interactive links for controlling the fixed terminal is provided to the mobile terminal. Activation of one of the interactive links is translated into a fixed terminal control information, when a user of the mobile terminal activates the interactive link. The control information is applied to the fixed terminal. A remote control of an adjoining terminal (2) e.g. set-top box, is used to display the interactive link on the fixed terminal. The interactive links are obtained using a computer keyboard type sub-interface (11), volume controlling field (13), channel changing field (14) and sub-fields (15a-15f) corresponding to desired channels. An independent claim is also included for a local area network architecture.
