`ABSTRACT
`[57)
`A personal communications device (100) includes a
`wireless transceiver (206,207,208) to allow a two-way
`exchange of user information, and to allow down load(cid:173)
`ing of remote control signalling information. The latter
`can be transmitted via an appropriate transmitter (210
`or 211) to facilitate remote control of a remote con(cid:173)
`trolled device.
