Method for establishing connection between communication devices
First Claim
1. A method for establishing a connection from a first communication subscriber device having at least one identity and being connected to a communication network comprising exchanges and/or base stations, to one or more second communication subscriber devices capable of moving to any area of the communication network, each second communication subscriber device being connected to the communication network, each second communication subscriber device having at least one identity that is independent of the current location of the respective second communication device, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- (a) defining a search area for the second communication subscriber devices, and an identification for the search area;
(b) sending from the first communication subscriber device to the communication network a call setup message containing the identification of the search area and the respective said identity of at least one of said second communication subscriber devices,(c) paging by the communication network of at least one second communication subscriber device only in the search area defined by said search area identification,(d) establishing a connection to the at least one second communication device provided with a respective said identity only if the at least one second communication device is located in said search area.

Abstract
A method for establishing a connection between a first communication device, connected to a communication network and having at least one identity, and one or several second communication devices, connected to the communication network and located in a limited location (i.e., paging) area, each of them having at least one identity. In order that the user of the system may define the location area dynamically, the first communication device sends to the communication network a message containing an identification of the location area and the identity of one or several second communication devices and the communication network calls at least one subscriber device provided with the identity only in the location area defined by the location area identification.

13. A system for establishing a connection between a first communication subscriber device connected to a communication network and one or more second communication subscriber devices connected to the communication network and being capable of moving to any area of the communication network, each said second communication device having at least one identity, wherein the system comprises:
-
a means for defining a search area, to provide a search area definition, and an identification for this area, to provide a search area definition, and for sending these definitions as a search area definition message from the first communication subscriber device to the communication network, a communication means for receiving a call setup message containing the search area identification sent by the first communication subscriber device to the communication network and the identity of one or more of said second communication subscriber devices, for sending the call setup message to one or more of said second communication subscriber devices located in said defined search area and for establishing a connection between the first and one or more of said second communication subscriber devices. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
