  • Method and apparatus for invoking native functions of a mobile device to control a set-top box
    Patent number: 9292368
    Abstract: An approach is provided for controlling a user device native function via a web-based application at a user device (e.g., a mobile terminal). The mobile terminal executes a web-based application and a shell application, wherein the shell application provides communication between the web-based application and a native function of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal registers the web-based application with the shell application for the communication. The mobile terminal invokes the native function of the mobile terminal via the communication based upon a communication protocol that specifies a command of a native function associated with a set top box.
