1. A method performed in a system comprising first and second body coupled communication (BCC) enabled devices forming a body area network (BAN) for providing information to an associated user of the system, wherein the first BCC enabled device comprises a touch sensitive interface and said second BCC enabled device is worn by said associated user wherein the method comprises:

  • receiving, in the first BCC enabled device, at least one BCC signal from said second BCC enabled device via a body part of said associated user when said body part touches said touch sensitive interface of said first BCC enabled device, the receiving of the at least one BCC signal indicating to the first BCC enabled device that the second BCC enabled device is BCC enabled;

    detecting, in first BCC enabled device, a position of the body part relative to said touch sensitive interface;

    collecting specific information data related to a graphical item presented by the first BCC enabled device on the touch sensitive interface and located at the detected position on the touch sensitive interface;

    transmitting the collected specific information data related to the graphical item located at the detected position from the first BCC enabled device to the second BCC enabled device; and

    receiving the collected specific information data from the first BCC enabled device in the second BCC enabled device, the second BCC enabled device processing the received specific information data and providing the associated user with corresponding information relating to the graphical item.
