Method and apparatus for third party control of a device

1. A method comprising:

communicating via a first communication link a first communication between a first device and a second device, said first communication having an identification associated with said first device;

communicating via a second communication link a second communication between said second device and a third device, said second communication based on said identification associated with said first device;

receiving on said second device via said second communication link a third communication from said third device, said third communication communicating a menu of items available from said first device;

receiving on said third device via said second communication link a fourth communication from said second device, said fourth communication communicating one or more user selected items from said menu of items available from said first device;

communicating via a third communication link a fifth communication between said third device and said first device, said fifth communication communicating one or more of said one or more user selected items from said menu of items available from said first device.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said first communication link is unidirectional from said first device to said second device.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said fifth communication controls said first device.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein said fifth communication controlling said first device is based upon said fourth communication from said second device.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein said fourth communication is based upon input received from a human input interface.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising communicating a transaction selected from the group consisting of a payment, a credit, and a payment and a credit.

7. An apparatus comprising:

means for receiving a first communication from a first device on a second device, said first communication having an identification associated with said first device;

means for receiving a third communication from said third device on said second device, said third communication communicating a menu of items available from said first device;

means for receiving a fourth communication from said second device on said third device, said fourth communication communicating one or more user selected items from said menu of items available from said first device; and

means for receiving a fifth communication from the third device on the first device.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the fifth communication further comprises means for controlling the first device.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the fifth communication means for controlling the first device is based upon the fourth communication from the second device.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein means for receiving a first communication from a first device on a second device further comprises means for receiving a unidirectional first communication from the first device on the second device.
