Abstract:
A method of interpreting secondary Mobile Identification Numbers (MINs), the method comprising the steps of:accepting a first secondary MIN by an intended remote device, wherein said intended remote device is one of a plurality of remote devices capable of receiving said first secondary MIN, wherein said first secondary MIN is one of a plurality of secondary MINs uniquely identifying said intended remote device and distinguishing said intended remote device from said plurality of remote devices; determining if said first secondary MIN is a first Command Sequence Trigger (CST) secondary MIN; responding to said first secondary MIN if said first secondary MIN is determined not to be said first CST secondary MIN; initializing a timer if said first secondary MIN is determined to be said first CST secondary MIN; accepting a second secondary MIN by said intended remote device if said second secondary MIN is received by said intended remote device within a preset time period as determined by said timer and if said first secondary MIN is determined to be said first CST secondary MIN, wherein said second secondary MIN is one of said plurality of secondary MINs uniquely identifying said intended remote device and distinguishing said intended remote device from said plurality of remote devices; and performing a first pre-assigned response, wherein said first pre-assigned response corresponds to the acceptance of both said first and said second secondary MINs by said intended remote device.
