Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling access for a user equipment to at least one local device via an intermediary system that is configured to connect to a local network and to a public network. The user equipment is connected to the public network and the at least one local device is connected to the local network. The method comprises a number of steps in the intermediary system. One of these steps is storing one or more location conditions for access for the user equipment to the at least one local device. Another step is receiving first location information of the user equipment over the public network, the first location information indicating a location of the user equipment. Yet another step is controlling access for the user equipment to the at least one local device by verifying whether the first location information satisfies the one or more location conditions. The invention further relates to the intermediary system used in the method.
