Method for local control of an electronic device

1. A method for locally managing a device able to communicate with at least one terminal able to process and render user interface data of the device, the method including the following acts on the device:

detecting entry of said at least one terminal into a range of the device on said first radio link;

preparing the user interface data of the device to be transmitted to said terminal detected within the range of the device; and

transmitting said user interface data to said terminal on a second radio link, which is different from the first radio link.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein detecting includes evaluating a distance between the device and the terminal.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein detecting includes detecting a predetermined movement of the terminal corresponding to an intentional gesture of the user, and wherein transmitting the user interface data is carried out only after said predetermined movement is detected.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein detecting includes receiving a rendering request originating from the terminal.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , furthermore comprising, prior to the transmitting, emitting a signal containing a rendering request intended for the terminal.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , furthermore comprising, prior to the transmitting, establishing a point-to-point communication session with the terminal on a second radio link for transmitting the user interface data.

7. The communication method as claimed in claim 6 , furthermore comprising closing the communication session.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user interface data are tailored depending on the capabilities of the terminal.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data of the user interface are encoded by way of a markup language using semantics tailored to the description of the elements of the user interface, before being transmitted to the terminal.

10. The communication method as claimed in claim 1 , furthermore comprising receiving a command originating from the terminal.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first radio link is a short distance radio link relative to the second radio link.

12. An electronic device able to communicate with at least one terminal able to process and render user interface data of the device, wherein the device comprises:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the device to perform acts comprising:

detecting entry of said at least one terminal into a range of the device on the first radio link;

preparing the user interface data following the detection of the entry of the terminal into the range of the device; and

transmitting said user interface data, activated following the detection of the entry of the terminal into said range on a second radio link, which is different from the first radio link.

13. A household appliance including the device as claimed in claim 12 .

14. A system comprising the electronic device as claimed in claim 12 and a terminal including:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor of the terminal configure the terminal to perform acts comprising:

emitting a signal on the first radio link;

receiving the user interface data, and

rendering the user interface data and interacting with a user.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program stored thereon and including code instructions for implementing a method for locally managing an electronic device when said program is executed by a processor of the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is able to communicate with at least one terminal able to process and render user interface data of the device, the method including the following acts performed on the electronic device:

detecting entry of said at least one terminal into a range of the device on said first radio link;

preparing the user interface data of the device to be transmitted to said terminal detected within the range of the device; and

transmitting said user interface data to said terminal on a second radio link, which is different from the first radio link.
