Abstract

The invention relates to a method for setting a user profile in technical systems (TS), which are controlled by an electronic device (EE). To this end, user profile data representing the user profile (BP) is transmitted by a mobile telephone terminal (MF) to the electronic device (EE) via a wireless transmission link.

Claims

1. A method for adjusting a user profile in technical systems (TS) which are controlled by an electronic device (EE), characterized in that user profile data representing the user profile (BP) are transmitted from a mobile telephone terminal (MF) to the electronic device (EE) via a wireless transmission link.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that user profile data transmitted by the electronic device (EE) are received and stored by the mobile telephone terminal.

3. The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that an access authorization at the electronic device (EE) is enabled by transmitting an access code as component of the user profile data.

4. The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that an identification identifying the electronic device (EE) is transmitted by the mobile telephone terminal (MF) before the transmission of the user profile data.

5. The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that different user profiles (BP) for different electronic devices (EE) are administered in the mobile telephone terminal (MF).

6. The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the communication of the mobile telephone terminal (MF) with the electronic device (EE) is carried out via an infrared interface (IS).

7. The method as claimed in one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the communication of the mobile telephone terminal (MF) with the electronic device (EE) is carried out via a wireless interface according to the Bluetooth standard, known per se.

8. The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that user profile data are only transmitted after a confirmation has been input at the technical system (TS).
