Abstract
The invention relates to a portable electronic device, comprising means (c) for scanning continuously/repeatedly for UIDs sent out by other devices and recording these UIDs in a log; and means (d) for transferring the recorded UIDs to a server or another device (f);
- and to a method for establishing-server-based communication options, whereby:
- (a) portable electronic devices containing identifiers (UIDs) record identifiers that are transmitted wirelessly and non-directionally by other portable electronic devices,
- (b) the identifiers (UIDs) are transferred to a server, and
- (c) the identifiers (UIDs) are used by a server to provide communication between users of the devices containing the identifiers that have been recorded.
Moreover, the invention relates to a device and method for establishing contact wirelessly with a second compatible device, where the device comprises
- means (a) for automatically establishing non-directional contact as well as the transfer of one or more first data packets between the device and one or more target device(s); and
- means (b), which (following an automatic, non-directional contact as well as the transfer of one or more first data packets between the device and one or more target devices) allows the user to transfer one or more directional second data packets.
