Association of an Identification Stored in a Mobile Terminal With a Location
First Claim
1. A method for associating an identification stored in a mobile terminal with a location, the method comprising the acts of:
- receiving a piece of information indicating a first time at which a previously unoccupied location is occupied by a person, an occupancy of the location being acquired by a sensor associated with the location;
receiving a piece of information indicating a second time at which the movement of the mobile terminal implies that, if the mobile terminal were carried along by a person, the person carrying the mobile terminal would occupy a location, the movement being acquired by a sensor in the mobile terminal;
determining a relationship between the first time and the second time;
receiving of the identification; and
associating the identification with the location.

Abstract
A method for associating an identification stored in a mobile terminal with a location, particularly a seat, includes receiving a piece of information indicating a first time at which a previously unoccupied location is occupied by a person, the occupancy of the location being acquired by a sensor associated with the location. A piece of information indicating a second time at which the movement of the mobile terminal is received which implies that, if the mobile terminal were carried along by a person, the person carrying the terminal would occupy a location, the movement being acquired by a sensor in the mobile terminal. A relationship is determined between the first time and the second time. Therefore, the identification is received and associated with the determined location.

17. A device having an electronic processing unit that is configured to:
-
receive a piece of information indicating a first time at which a previously unoccupied location is occupied by a person, an occupancy of the location being acquired by a sensor associated with the location; receive a piece of information indicating a second time at which the movement of the mobile terminal implies that, if the mobile terminal were carried along by a person, the person carrying the mobile terminal would occupy a location, the movement being acquired by a sensor in the mobile terminal; determine a relationship between the first time and the second time; receive the identification; and associate the identification with the location.

18. A computer program which, when executed by a computer with an electronic processing unit, causes the computer to:
-
receive a piece of information indicating a first time at which a previously unoccupied location is occupied by a person, an occupancy of the location being acquired by a sensor associated with the location; receive a piece of information indicating a second time at which the movement of the mobile terminal implies that, if the mobile terminal were carried along by a person, the person carrying the mobile terminal would occupy a location, the movement being acquired by a sensor in the mobile terminal; determine a relationship between the first time and the second time; receive the identification; and associate the identification with the location.
