Abstract
A system for establishing personal contacts, comprising a number of data processing devices (x) which are portable and most conveniently fitted with a built-in power supply (ps), each device being provided with contact making capabilities for establishing a contact, preferably in a wireless manner, between other data processing devices located essentially within close range. The system is particularly intended for establishing a personal contact between at least two persons or among a group of people (1) who have activated themselves in their personal data processing device (x′) regarding a common subject matter (hi) in such a way that, whenever in an active scanning mode, each data processing device (x′) included in the system monitors continuously its environment and is able to single out one or more other data processing devices (x′) present within the confines of its scanning environment and having activated therein the same subject matter (hi), such as one or more search criteria or the like.
