Abstract

The method includes the following steps:

• • an identification step of a first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory, the identification depending on the localization of the first communicating mobile terminal,
  • a correspondence search step of the first communicating mobile terminal identification with an identification list of terminals associated with a second communicating mobile terminal, the step of correspondence search depending on the proximity of the first and second communicating mobile terminals, and
  • in case of correspondence, a supply step to the second terminal user of information representative of the first terminal identification. Preferably, the identification step of the first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory is carried out by a direct point-to-point radio link between the first communicating mobile terminal and a third-party communicating terminal and the correspondence search step is carried out by the second communicating mobile terminal at reception, coming from a third-party communicating terminal.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. Method for the transmission of data between communicating mobile terminals, that comprises:

an identification step of a first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory, said identification of the first communicating mobile terminal in the distant memory depending on the localization of the said first communicating mobile terminal,

a correspondence search step of the first communicating mobile identification with a list of identifications of terminals associated with a second communicating mobile terminal, said step of correspondence search depending on the proximity of said first and second communicating mobile terminals and

in case of correspondence, a supply step to the second terminal user of information representative of the first terminal identification.

12. A method according to claim 11, wherein the identification step of the first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory is carried out by a direct point-to-point radio link between said first communicating mobile terminal and a third-party communicating terminal different from the said second communicating mobile terminal.

13. A method according to claim 12, wherein the correspondence search step is carried out by said second communicating mobile terminal at reception, coming from a third-party communicating terminal different from the first communicating mobile terminal, of identifications of communicating mobile terminals.

14. A method according to claim 11, wherein the identification step of the first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory is carried out by the first communicating mobile terminal which jointly transmits said identification and information representative of its localization.

15. A method according to claim 14, wherein, during the identification step of the first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory, the first communicating mobile terminal determines its localization according to positioning hertzian radio signals.

16. A method according to claim 14, wherein, during the identification step of the first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory, the first communicating mobile terminal determines its localization by the identification of at least one emitter-receiver of short range hertzian radio signals.

17. A method according to claim 11, wherein the identification step of the first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory is carried out by a transmission by a communication network, of the identification of an emitter-receiver to which the first communicating mobile terminal has connected.

18. A method according to claim 14, wherein the search step is carried out by a server distant from the first communicating mobile terminal, server having access to said list.

19. A method according to claim 11, that comprises, in case of correspondence, a supply step to the first terminal user of information representative of the second terminal identification.

20. Device for the transmission of data between communicating mobile terminals, that comprises:

an identification mean of a first communicating mobile terminal in a distant memory, said identification of the first communicating mobile terminal in the distant memory depending on the localization of the said first communicating mobile terminal,

a correspondence search mean of the identification of the first communicating mobile terminal with an identifications list of terminals associated with a second communicating mobile terminal, adapted so that said correspondence search depends on the proximity of said first and second communicating mobile terminals and

a supply mean adapted, in case of correspondence, to provide to the second terminal user information representative of the first terminal identification.
