Abstract

The invention is relates to a method where a video film or a multimedia presentation is ordered from an operator or a publisher of a newspaper.

The video film or multimedia presentation or the newspaper is transferred from the mobile phone by means of Bluetooth connection to a TV accessory that is connected to a TV and which converts the signals so that they are suitable for a TV. This video film or multimedia presentation can thus be watched and heard on TV by means of the mobile phone accessory or a newspaper can be read on the TV screen.
