Controlling display of video sequences e.g. for hotel pay-TV service, by transmitting e.g. text message from mobile telephone to enable reproduction of video sequence

摘要

The method involves providing at least one video-sequence reproducing unit and a mobile radio unit. Information is transmitted from the mobile radio unit to control the display of the video sequences on the reproducing unit. The transmission of information preferably involves the transmission of an SMS message from a mobile telephone using a abbreviated dial number. Several reproducing units (television sets) may be networked together. An Independent claim is included for a telecommunications system.
