X10 communication of one or more messages between one or more mobile communication devices and one or more module components

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a first X10 gateway component that communicates one or more messages between a first mobile communication device and a first module component;

wherein the one or more messages comprise a response originated by the first module component, wherein the first module component comprises a sensor component, wherein the first X10 gateway component is coupled with the first module component; wherein the first sensor component generates the response in reaction to one or more triggers, wherein the first X10 gateway component obtains the response from the sensor component;

wherein the response comprises information local to the first sensor component captured by the first sensor component, wherein the first X10 gateway component sends the corresponding information to the mobile communication device;

the first X10 gateway component comprising means for automatically terminating acceptance of information received from the first mobile communication device upon the expiration of a predetermined time period after the beginning of communication from the first mobile communication device to the first module component.

2. An apparatus, comprising: one or more X10 gateway components that communicate one or more messages between one or more mobile communication devices and one or more module components,

wherein the one or more X10 gateway components comprise an X10 gateway component, wherein the one or more messages comprise a response, wherein the one or more module components comprise a sensor component, wherein the X10 gateway component is coupled with the module component; wherein the sensor component generates the response in reaction to one or more triggers, wherein the X10 gateway component obtains the response from the sensor component,

wherein the response comprises information local to the sensor component sensed by the sensor component, wherein the X10 gateway component sends the information to the mobile communication device;

wherein each X10 gateway component comprises means for automatically terminating communication of information transmitted from the sensor component to one of the mobile communication devices upon the expiration of a predetermined time period after the beginning of communication from the sensor component to one of the mobile communication devices.

3. A method, comprising the step of:

communicating a message between one or more mobile communication devices and one or more X10 module components,

wherein the X10 module component comprises a sensor component, wherein the step of communicating the message between the one or more mobile communication devices and the one or more X10 module components comprises the steps of:

receiving information local to the sensor component as sensed by the sensor component; sending the information to one or more of the one or more mobile communication devices; and

automatically terminating communication of information transmitted from the sensor component to the one or more of the mobile communication devices upon the expiration of a predetermined time period after the beginning of communication from the sensor component to the one or more of the mobile communication devices.
