Identification of terminal
First Claim
1. A method for identifying a terminal in a short-range wireless data transmission system comprising at least a first device and a second device, wherein at least said first device comprises a device-specific first device identifier and a general device name and at least said second device is configured to store at least one name identifier in its memory, and to link at least one device identifier to said name identifier stored in the memory, the method comprising informing said second device about said first device identifier and said general device name, showing a list of received device names to the user in said second device;
- comparing said first device identifier with the device identifiers linked to the name identifiers in said second device; and
selecting the name identifier linked to the device identifier corresponding to said first device identifier and showing it on said list instead of the device name.

Abstract
A method for identifying a terminal in a wireless data transmission system. The system comprises a first device, which comprises a first device-specific device identifier and a general device name, and a second device, which is configured to store name identifier in its memory. The first device identifier and the general device name are informed to the second device. A list of received device names is shown to the user in the second device. The second device is arranged to link device identifier to the name identifier stored in the memory. The first device identifier is compared with the device identifiers linked to the name identifiers in the second device and the name identifier linked to the device identifiers corresponding to the first device identifier is selected and shown in place of the device name on the list drawn up of the device names.

8. An electronic device comprising means for arranging short-range wireless data transmission, the device being configured to store at least one name identifier in its memory;
-
to receive a first device-specific device identifier and a general device name from a second wireless device;
to show a list of received device names to the user, to link at least one device identifier to said name identifier stored in the memory;
to compare said first device identifier with the device identifiers linked to the name identifiers in the device; and
to select the name identifier linked to the device identifier corresponding to said first device identifier and to show said name identifier on said list instead of the device name. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
