Abstract

A method of data transmission between mobile telephones, wherein a request signal is sent from a first mobile telephone via a wireless communication interface to a second mobile telephone, and the telephone number of the second mobile telephone is transmitted to the first mobile telephone.

Claims

1. A method of data transmission between mobile telephones, characterized in that a request signal is sent from a first mobile telephone to a second mobile telephone via a wireless communication interface, and the telephone number of the second mobile telephone is transmitted to the first mobile telephone.

2. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that an infrared interface is used as the wireless communication interface.

3. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the telephone numbers are transmitted via an infrared interface and/or a radio connection, in particular a Bluetooth connection, a DECT connection, and/or a GSM connection.

4. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that user-specific data of the second mobile telephone, such as a name and/or address and/or e-mail address, are also transmitted to the first mobile telephone.

7. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the data transmission function can be switched off by the user at the second mobile telephone.

8. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the data transmission takes place as a function of fulfillment of a given or specifiable criterion.

9. A method as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that said criterion comprises a user-specific profile and/or filter.

10. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that those second mobile telephones which are ready for data transmission are displayed on the first mobile telephone.

11. A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the data transmission takes place between all subscribers of a GSM network, between subscribers within a send/receive cell, or between subscribers of a defined group.

12. A mobile telephone, characterized in that it is designed for implementing the method as claimed in claim 1.
