Patent ID: 8887184

Claim:
A method for remotely accessing user equipment from a mobile user device having location positioning functionality, the method comprising: receiving an action request from the mobile user device to schedule an action for a program to be performed by the user equipment, wherein the mobile user device utilizes first-location program information to generate the action request for the program, and the first-location program information is selected based, at least in part, on a location of the mobile user device at the time of the request; in response to receiving the action request, detecting, using program information received in the action request, a disparity between the first-location program information for the program and second-location program information for the program, wherein the second-location program information is selected based, at least in part, on a location of the user equipment on which the action is to be scheduled, and the location of the user equipment is different from the location of the mobile user device at the time of the request; in response to detecting the disparity, searching for alternate scheduling information for the program for use in scheduling the action; and transmitting the alternate scheduling information to the user equipment for scheduling the action.
