1. A mobile information terminal having a processor and a memory, comprising:
- a provider for providing a data structure having entries about different objects, wherein a limited geographical area is associated to every object, and wherein object information is associated to every object, and wherein the limited geographical area defines an individual object-related relevance area, in which the mobile information terminal has to be so that the object information to which the relevance area belongs can be selected, wherein the object-related relevance area is defined by an angle area or by a segment of a circle or by a polygon or by a Boolean combination of geometrical forms;
a determiner for determining a geographical position of the mobile information terminal;
an examiner for examining whether the geographical position of the mobile information terminal lies in the geographical area associated to an object; and
a provider for providing object information associated to an object, if the examiner has determined that the mobile information terminal lies in the geographical area of the object.

13. A method for information selection implemented with a processor and a memory, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a data structure having entries about different objects, wherein a limited geographical area is associated to every object, and wherein object information is associated to every object, and wherein the limited geographical area defines an individual, object-related relevance area, in which the mobile information terminal has to be so that the object information to which the relevance area belongs can be selected, wherein the object-related relevance area is defined by an angle area or by a segment of a circle or by a polygon or by a Boolean combination of geometrical forms; determining a geographical position of the mobile information terminal; examining whether the geographical position of the mobile information terminal lies in the geographical area associated to an object; and providing object information associated to an object if it has been determined that the mobile information terminal lies in the geographical area of the object.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising program code for performing, when running on a computer, a method for information selection, comprising:
-
providing a data structure having entries about different objects, wherein a limited geographical area is associated to every object, and wherein object information is associated to every object, and wherein the limited geographical area defines an individual, object-related relevance area, in which a mobile information terminal has to be so that the object information to which the relevance area belongs can be selected, wherein the object-related relevance area is defined by an angle area or by a segment of a circle or by a polygon or by a Boolean combination of geometrical forms; determining a geographical position of the mobile information terminal; examining whether the geographical position of the information point mobile information terminal lies in the geographical area associated to an object; and providing object information associated to an object if it has been determined that the mobile information terminal lies in the geographical area of the object.
