Method and system for inputting user instructions of a user-controllable telecommunication device

Abstract

A method and systems for inputting user instructions to central controller of a service provider. The user instruction is inputted based on transmission of RFID identification data of a RFID transponder to the central controller. The RFID identification data of a RFID transponder is transmitted to a RFID transceiver, having a RFID transceiver identification, over an RFID interface. The RFID identification data and the RFID transceiver identification are then forwarded to the central controller of the service provider over a network connection between the RFID transceiver and the central controller, causing the central controller to select specific user instruction based on the RFID identification data and the RFID transceiver identification. The selected specific user instruction then causes the central controller to apply corresponding adjustment to operations that relate to the one or more electronic devices corresponding to the user of the RFID transponder.
