Communication system and method for operating such a system
First Claim
1. A communication device for the use in a communication system comprising said communication device as a second communication device of said communication system, said communication system also comprising a first communication device,whereinsaid first communication device is capable of communicating with a telecommunications network,the first communication device contains individual information, andsaid first and second communication devices both being connectable to each other by a data link for information transfer,said second communication device configured to communicate with said telecommunications network, andthe second communication device comprisesa special memory area configured to store individual information acquired from the first communication device as well a comparator configured to compare the individual information contained in the first communication device with that stored in the special memory area of the second communication device,the special memory area comprises at least two separate portions configured to store individual information of different first communication devices separately.

Abstract
The present invention relates to communication system comprising first and second communication devices (11,12) each capable of communicating with a telecommunications network (10), and both being connectable to each other by a data link (17) for information transfer and to a method for operating the same. The first communication device (11) contains individual information, and the second communication device (12) comprises a special memory area (21) for storing individual information acquired from the first communication device (11). To enable an improved and facilitated usage of the system comparator means (22) for comparing the individual information contained in the first communication device (11) with that stored in the special memory area (21) of the second communication (12) device are provided. Therefore, only changes of the individual information of the first communication device (11) are stored in the second communication device (12) after comparing the individual information from the first communication device (11) stored in the second communication device (12) with the individual information in the first communication device (11) when the first communication device (11) is connected again to the second communication device (12).

10. A method comprising:
-
operating a second communication device in a system comprising a first communication device and the second communication device, both the first communication device and the second communication device capable of communicating with a communications network, and both connectable to each other by a date link for information transfer, said second communication device storing individual information acquired from the first communication device in the second communication device so that the individual information from the first communication device is directly accessible by the second communication device when the first and the second communication devices are connected to each other by the data link at a very first time, or the second communication device comparing the individual information from the first communication device stored in the second communication device with the individual information in the first communication device when the first communication device is connected again to the second communication device, and the second communication device storing only changes of the individual information of the first communication device in the second communication device.

11. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to operate in a communications system comprising the apparatus and a communication device, the apparatus and the communication device each capable of communicating with a telecommunications network, and both connectable to each other by a data link for information transfer, the memory and the computer program code further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to; store individual information from a communication device in the memory so that the individual information from the communication device is directly accessible by the apparatus when the apparatus and the communication device are connected to each other by a data link at a very first time, or compare the individual information from the communication device stored in the memory with the individual information in the communication device when the communication device is connected again to the apparatus, and store only changes of the individual information of the communication device in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
