In the introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, and the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference numerals or the same component names. Furthermore, individual features from the different exemplary embodiments shown can represent independent, inventive solutions.

1 shows a data transmission system 1 according to the invention with minimized configuration of active and passive objects 2, 3 which are assigned to one another, in particular to be carried by a person and / or are assigned to an object. Between at least one active object 2 or Transmitting part 4 and at least one other passive object 3 or receiving part 5 that can be carried by another person, a transmission path 6 is formed for the wireless transmission of personal and / or factual data, as indicated schematically by an arrow.

The active object 2 comprises at least one transmitting unit 7, which preferably transmits the personal and / or factual data 9 stored in a storage unit 8 - indicated schematically by crosses or variables - via an antenna 10 or emits them in a limited transmission range. The active object 2 or the transmitting part 4 also has an input device 11 which is connected to the memory unit 8 and / or the transmitting unit 7. Individual, personal and / or factual data 9 can be entered, modified or selected from a predefined database via the input device 11 in the storage unit 8. Furthermore, the operating parameters of the transmission unit 7 can be changed or set or different ones via the input device 11

Operating states can be selected and initiated. All components of the active object 2 which require electrical energy are provided with an electrical energy supply unit 12 - in particular formed by electrochemical voltage sources 13, such as e.g. Batteries or accumulators - wired.

The passive object 3 of the data transmission device 1 comprises at least one receiving unit 14 for receiving the data 9 transmitted by the transmitting part 4, which are schematically symbolized by a wavy line 15. An evaluation unit 16 is assigned to this receiving unit 14, which compares the received data 9 - for example search criteria 17 and / or desired data 18 - with data 20 stored in a storage unit 19 of the passive object 2 - as indicated symbolically by crosses. The received search criteria 17 or desired data 18 are compared at least with factual data or situation data 21 relating to people and / or objects. The result determined by the evaluation unit 16 can be visualized and / or signaled via an output device 22 which is connected to the evaluation unit 16. The output device 22 is activated at a certain level of correspondence or also at a certain degree of deviation between the data 9 of the active object 2 and the data 20 of the passive object 3.

Via an input device 23 of the passive object 3, in particular via an input connected to the evaluation unit 16 and / or the storage unit 19 device 23, the level of correspondence or the degree of deviation between the data 9 of the transmitting part 4 and the data 20 of the receiving part 5 can be preset. Furthermore, the data 20 of the storage unit 19 can be entered, modified or selected via the input device 23 in order to be able to adapt them to the individual needs of a person assigned to the passive object 3. Furthermore, the input device 23 is preferably designed to transmit commands or instructions to the evaluation unit 16 or to set or select functions or operating modes of the passive object 3.

Starting from two basic operating modes of the active object 2, the data 9 assigned to the storage unit 8 can be categorized differently. If the active object 2 is assigned to a person presenting himself or offering things or things, then at least part of the data 9 must be defined as actual data 24 or factual data or factual data. If, on the other hand, the active object 2 is assigned to a person searching or looking out, which person is looking for a certain type and / or objects for a certain type, value or property, the data 9 available from the storage unit 8 are intended data 25 or As previously mentioned, to be defined as desired data 18 or as search criteria 17.

Of course, it is also possible for the active object 2 to simultaneously include and transmit actual data 24 and target data 25, that is to say the person assigned to the active object 2 is both a function which advertises itself or advertises itself or things, and a search function or recruiting function.

These two basic operating modes or basic data types are also applicable to the passive object 3, adapted accordingly. If the passive object 3 receives actual data 24 of an active object 2 from a person who is willing to contact and / or offers objects, then this received, external actual data 24 with its own target data 26 or desired data stored in the storage unit 19 compared. In this case, the passive object 3 is to be classified as sociable and / or "generally showing interest". If, on the other hand, actual data 27 are stored in the storage unit 19 of the passive object 3, these own actual data 27 of the passive object 3 are compared with the external target data 25 of the active object 2 that may have been received. In the- In this design case, the person belonging to the passive object 3 can be characterized as willing to contact and / or ready to contact. In relation to subject-specific actual data 27 of the passive object 3, the person assigned to the passive object 3 can be classified as active in sales or as pursuing certain interests.

Of course, it is also possible for the passive object 3, that is to say only having a reception function, to assign both target data 26 and actual data 27 to it, and thus to a search-oriented and fundamentally willing and / or principally willing group of people with the passive object 3 or to take into account the receiving part 5.

The actual data 24 and the target data 25 of the active object 2 or of the transmitting part 4 as well as the target data 26 and the actual data 27 of the passive object 3 or of the receiving part 5 are personal and / or relevant data 9, 20 formed with preferably several data groups.

The personal data groups include e.g. personal data, such as the gender, the name, the age, the body weight, the body size, the body measurements, the respective zodiac sign, the marital status, the wealth etc. A further personal data group can for example be determined by external characteristics, e.g. the stature, the figure, the eye color, the hair color, the haircut, etc. are formed. Another personal data group could, for example, by personal properties, such as sympathetic, good-looking, loyal, animal-loving, business-minded, etc., educated. Accordingly, the data 9, 20 can be formed by material and / or ideal values, which are emitted by at least one active object 2 and, if appropriate, used by at least one passive object 3.

In the case of factual data 9, 20, the data groups can be formed, for example, by periods or epochs, by the type or description of an object, by a budget, by the general condition and the like. For example, it is possible that in the active and / or passive object 2, 3 the data 9, 20 for the search and / or the sale of a motor vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle of a certain brand and type, color, engine power, year of construction, Costs and the like are stored. Further relevant data 9, 20 could, for example, be data 9, 20 relating to items or objects of daily use or from luxury items. So it is possible, for example, in the active and / or passive object 2, 3 data 9, 20 of a sought-after and / or offered for sale art object, in particular a painting, such as the epoch, the painting technique, the format, the budget and the like. enter into the storage units 8, 19.

The respective data 9 of the active object 2 are coupled almost constantly with the person carrying the object 2 and / or the respective object. The same applies to the data 20 of the person carrying or holding the passive object 3.

Due to the constant opportunity to carry an active or passive object 2, 3 with corresponding data 9, 20, search and / or sales or offer activities are made considerably easier and more effective than with the previously known forms or methods. In the case of personal data 9, 20 personal contacts and / or activities of people unknown to each other can be made much faster and easier. In the case of factual data 9, 20, the sales and / or search activities of any objects of daily use or of luxury objects are far more successful. This is mainly due to the time and place independent presentation and / or provision of your own needs or

Desired dates. So it is e.g. It is particularly advantageous for people looking for partners and / or people who are willing to contact, to use the active or passive object 2, 3 in localities or in public. For people with buying and / or selling activities, it is beneficial to use the active and / or passive object, especially at events with goods trading, e.g. at auctions, exhibitions, agencies or in public, such as on the road and the like. The laborious, manual procurement and evaluation of advertisements, but above all the need for the continuous review of possibly updated advertisements, is eliminated by the data transmission system 1 according to the invention. In order to be constantly up to date in the entire range of advertisements, it was previously necessary to either use various advertisements or To view announcements manually in newspapers or other magazines or to manually query various databases again and again.

The data 9, 20 compared in the passive object 3 by the evaluation unit 16 lead to a specific evaluation result, with a certain level of agreement and / or a certain degree of deviation. between the factual and / or personal actual data 24, 27 and target data 25, 26 of the active and passive object 2, 3, at least one specific output device 22 is activated.

The output device 22 can thereby by an optical display device 28, e.g. by a display, a liquid crystal display or, in the simplest case, by a light-emitting diode 29 and the like, or by an acoustic signaling device 30, e.g. be formed by an electroacoustic transducer, a miniature speaker 31, an external storage unit and the like. Furthermore, the output device 22 - as indicated schematically in dashed lines - can be formed by a vibration generator 32, which converts electrical energy supplied into mechanical vibrations.

Specifically for the present exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the output device 22 can also be formed by a direction finding and / or locating device 33 which outputs optical and / or acoustic values or information. This information from the direction finding and / or locating device 33 serves the user of the passive object 3 on the one hand to signal the presence of a desired or corresponding or corresponding counterpart or an active object 2 and possibly a person assigned to it. Furthermore, the information from the bearing and / or locating device 33 serves to find the corresponding active object 2 or the person assigned to it. The exact localization of the corresponding active object 2 via the direction finding and / or locating device 33 of the passive object 3 can take place in accordance with all methods and / or devices known from the prior art. So it is e.g. possible to determine the position of the active object 2 recognized as interesting or the corresponding person and / or the corresponding object vector-like by a correspondingly aligned pointing device 34, which at least indicates the direction to be tracked and possibly also determines the distance to the corresponding active object 2, to determine. This bearing method via the optical pointing device 34 can of course also be carried out with a sound generator 35, in that this generates sound waves of changing frequency and / or intensity or volume depending on the direction and / or distance to the respective active object 2.

Instead of this distance and / or direction determination to the corresponding remote station, it is of course also possible that the bearing and / or location Device 33 is designed to determine the coordinates of the corresponding remote station and displays this data or is also connected to the evaluation unit 16, which evaluates the signals supplied by the bearing and / or locating device 33 and the determined coordinates via the output device 22, for example via the display device 28 outputs.

The coordinates to the remote station can be displayed on a corresponding display device of the bearing and / or locating device 33 or also via the universal display device 28 of the passive object 3.

The bearing and / or location device 33 can of course also be implemented in accordance with the GPS systems known from the prior art (Global Positioning System) or a corresponding display of the coordinates and / or vectors for the destination or the corresponding remote station can be formed .

Furthermore, it is possible to form the bearing and / or locating device 33 by means of a field strength measuring device 36, which is connected to the evaluation unit 16 and / or the output device 22. This field strength measuring device 36 is used to detect the reception field strength of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the active object 2 and thus allows conclusions to be drawn about the distance to the corresponding remote station.

The data determined via the bearing and / or locating device 33 can be sent to the respective output device 22, e.g. can also be output on the optical display device 28 or on the acoustic signaling device 30, for example, as frequency and / or intensity-varying information.

Irrespective of this, all other information about the output device 22, such as the optical display device 28 and / or the acoustic signaling device 30 and / or the electromechanical vibration generator 32 are represented by intensity or frequency variation.

In the case of this exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the final decision about establishing direct contact through a personal conversation only ever remains with the person to whom the passive object 3 for the reception and evaluation of the data 9, 20 is assigned. This one-sided decision-making whether or not personal contact is made with the counterpart according to the calculation not, is due to the fact that unidirectional data transmission via the transmission link 6 takes place from at least one active object 2 with a transmitting function to at least one passive object 3 with a purely receiving function.

In the case of this exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, personal contact is therefore always required when a counterpart corresponding to the ideas occurs, and a closer acquaintance or establishment of a relationship in the case of the transmission of personal data with the data transmission system 1 is required. In the case of the transmission and evaluation of factual data 9, 20 with the data transmission system 1, the negotiations or further detailed clarifications are in turn to be conducted through a personal conversation with the corresponding counterpart or a direct inspection of the relevant object.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment variant of the objects according to the invention for the data transmission system 1. All of the aforementioned technical designs and features are also valid for the following parts of the description or applicable to the exemplary embodiment described below. Furthermore, all of the technical configurations listed below can be transferred to the above exemplary embodiment, as a result of which the same reference numerals are used for the same parts.

The main difference is that both the object 2 and the object 3 have a transmitting and receiving unit 7, 14 and therefore a bidirectional transmission link 6 - shown schematically by a double arrow - for bidirectional, wireless transmission of personal and / or subject-related

Data 9, 20 between at least one object 2 assigned to a specific person and at least one further object 3 of the data transmission system 1 assigned to a further person or also to a utility object or luxury object is possible.

The data 9, 20 of the objects 3 can in turn include personal and / or factual actual data 24, 27 and / or personal and / or factual target data 25, 26.

The object 2, just like the object 3 has the evaluation unit 16, has its own evaluation unit 37, as a result of which the objects 2, 3 are essentially identical or similar with respect to the electrotechnical components are built up. The objects 2, 3 which are uniform with regard to their structure differ in the inserted state as data transmission system 1, possibly only by the data 9, 20 which can be entered, changed or selected individually via the input devices 11, 23. This management of the personal and / or subject-related actuals - and / or target data 24 to 27 can preferably be checked via output devices 22, 38, in particular formed by the display devices 28, 39, preferably formed by an LCD display. Likewise, data 9, 20 recorded or calculated by the evaluation unit 16, 37 can be output via the input device 11, 23 as information for the querying person via the display device 28, 39. Instead of this information output by means of display content, it is of course also possible to provide the data 9, 20 required by the user of the object 2 or 3 or the evaluation results of the evaluation unit 16, 37 in speech form acoustically via the signaling device 30, 40. The input and / or output of data 9, 20 and / or of instructions or of operating modes can preferably be carried out in a menu-like manner via a user guidance system with several menus and submenus. Due to the menu-like structure of the display device 28, 39, a large amount of information can be visualized with a relatively small display area without the display device 28, 39 appearing confusing. Due to the hierarchical structure of the configuration and / or output options, incorrect inputs and / or incorrect information are largely excluded by concentrating on the essential or selected data 9, 20 and / or operating functions.

The input device 22, 38 is, for example, by a keyboard 41, 42 with operating elements 43, such as rotary and / or, to be actuated by the respective user

Push buttons with key and / or switching function, formed. Furthermore, the operating elements 43 can be formed by multi-stage switching elements with a plurality of latching positions and a rotary function, as is known in particular in the case of wristwatches. Of course, instead of the mechanical movement of switching contacts, it is also possible to design the switching elements downstream of the operating elements 43 without contact, in particular as capacitive and / or inductive switching elements. If the input device 11, 23 is subject to a higher risk of contamination, for example when the objects 2, 3 are designed as a wristwatch, then this can also be embodied as a membrane keyboard, which moreover is more suitable for moisture and / or wetness. A further input option for data 9, 20 and / or for commands or instructions consists in the input device 11, 23 being replaced by an optical scanning device, an electronic pointing device, such as, for example Trackball and the like.

For the input of data 9, 20 and / or commands into the objects 2, 3 or into the storage units 8, 19 thereof, an interface 44, 45 can also be provided, via which the input devices 11, 23 can be connected or additional input devices larger Extent can be infected.

Of course, it is also possible to form the output device 22, 38 through an interface 46, 47, to which the output devices 22, 38 themselves or additional output devices of larger dimensions can be connected to the evaluation units 16, 37 of the objects 2, 3. Irrespective of the exemplary embodiment shown, it is of course also possible to provide a single interface per object 2, 3 with an input function and at the same time with an output function, via which - as shown schematically in dashed lines - a connection to a higher-level administration and / or control unit if necessary 48, such as a personal computer 49 with appropriate software and input or. Output devices of larger dimensions can be manufactured.

The input device 11, 23 also serves to set the depending on the different users and / or the different constitution or mood of the

Users of the object 2, 3 vary in height of the desired degree of conformity and / or the maximum percentage of deviation between their own data 9, 20 and the external data 9, 20. The input device 11, 23 is preferably connected to the evaluation unit 16, 37, which the Input device 11, 23 is monitored for pending inputs or is managed as a whole. The evaluation unit 16, 37 takes over at least part of the administrative tasks within the objects 2, 3, such as, for example, also reading out the data 9, 20 and / or storing data 9, 20 from or into the storage unit 8, 19 Corresponding design of the storage units 8, 19 and / or the input devices 11, 23, it is also possible to connect them directly to one another for the input of data 9, 20 into the objects 2, 3.

The input device 11, 23, which is connected to the evaluation unit 16, 37 and / or the storage unit 8, 19, is preferably also used to preset a place value or priority of the individual data sets or data groups of the people and defined by search criteria 17 and / or situation data 21 / or possible for the factual actual and / or target data 24 to 27. For example, a higher priority for the data field relating to the character characteristics of a person than for the data field relating to the external characteristics of a person, for example. Of course, it is also possible to use this priority assignment for the smallest data unit, i.e. in the case of personal data 9, 20 to assign the personal target data 25, 26, such as wealthy and good looking, a higher priority than, for example, the characteristics strong-willed and pedant. In the case of factual actual and / or target data 24 to 27, a high priority can be assigned to the cost frame data field, for example, in order to clarify a non-negotiable upper and lower cost limit. Furthermore, it is also possible, for example, to assign a high priority or a high priority to the actual and / or target data 24 to 27 relating to the year of construction or creation of an object, such as a motor vehicle or an art object, and thus to this circumstance to give appropriate meaning or to ensure appropriate attention.

The evaluation unit 16, 37, which among other things compares the received, external actual and / or target data 24 to 27 with its own actual and / or target data 24 to 27, forms the core of the objects 2, 3 and is preferably by Computer unit 50, 51, for example formed by a microcontroller 52, 53, which processes the commands or instructions stored in the memory unit 8, 19. The program composed of individual instructions is available for the computer unit 50, 51 in digital form, for example as a binary or hexadecimal code, in the memory unit 8, 19, in particular in a program memory formed, for example, by an EPROM memory.

Instead of this combination of hardware and software components, it is of course also possible to purely hardware items 2, 3 or the evaluation unit 16, 37 by digital circuits, such as. Form logic circuits, PAL and / or XILINX modules.

A further possibility for the discrete construction of the evaluation unit 16, 37 is to use analog circuits such as e.g. To form compressors, electronic filter devices, frequency generators and the like.

Of course, it is also possible to use a computer unit 50, 51 with an integrated memory unit 8, 19, that is to say a microcontroller 52, 53 with an integrated program and / or data memory. The results determined or calculated by the evaluation unit 16, 37 have an information content, which is preferably greater than 1 bit and therefore not only a yes / no statement or an applicable / incorrect evaluation is output via the output device 22, 38 , but also intermediate values regarding the agreement or deviation can be output. The increased meaningfulness of the result obtained, which is available from the evaluation units 16, 37 after the one-sided or mutual transmission and transfer of the data 9 or 20 of the objects 2, 3 which are in wireless communication connection, can be expressed as a percentage or degree the correspondence or deviation relating to the entirety of the data 9, 20 are output as a single or multi-digit numerical value via the output device 22, 38. Simultaneously or independently of this, it is also possible to graphically present the determined result on the display device 28, 39, for example as a bar graph, curve graph, circle sector graph and the like.

The meaningfulness of the determined result can also be increased by evaluating the results separately according to the individual data blocks, separately according to the individual data groups or, in the maximum case, separately according to the individual data units or criteria, and using this number of results in numerical form, verbally and / or graphically the output device 22, 38 is output sequentially or simultaneously. This majority of the results, which are usually determined by means of a comparison or comparison process, give the user of the respective object 2 or 3 a greater, personal scope for decision-making, since the individual can decide individually in the case of a particularly negative individual result and a plurality of extremely positive results can still make contact with the other party regarding the relevant subject matter and / or human concerns.

In order to be able to locate the corresponding object 2, 3 from a multiplicity of objects 2, 3 or a multiplicity of persons and / or objects, the bearing and / or locating device 33 can either be used again, as shown in dashed lines, or instead it is also possible to output the received actual data 24, 27 of the remote station identified as correct via the output device 22, 38, preferably via the display device 28, 39. Do the received, applicable actual data 24, 27 include external characteristics of the corresponding person or object, such as For example, the hair color, body size, stature, eye color or the like, or the spatial shape, color, size or the like, the corresponding person or object can be found relatively easily without bearing and / or or to have to use locating device 33, as a result of which the total outlay for the data transmission system 1 according to the invention is reduced.

Furthermore, it is possible to transmit the name or the designation and / or the location of the corresponding person and / or the corresponding object, or to enter and transfer it individually via the input device 11, 23, in order in this way to get together in a simple manner of the persons and / or a localization of the object, possibly without the use of a bearing and / or locating device 33.

Of course, it is also possible to use the bearing and / or location device 33 combined with the visualization of the received data 9, 20, which at least partially consists of actual data 24, 27.

After successful, positive evaluation of the data 9, 20, it is also possible to transmit special location information or current location information between the corresponding objects 2, 3 at least one-sidedly or also mutually, which makes it much easier to find the corresponding person or the relevant object is. This one-sided or mutually transferring residence information can e.g. read as follows: "stand at the bar", "sit at table 7", etc. The additional location information sent by an object can e.g. through coordinates or specific location information such as "Storage location in hall 17", "exhibit 12 at stand 3", "third shelf, top compartment" etc.

The wireless transmission of the data 9, 20 can take place in accordance with all devices and methods known from the prior art. So it is e.g. possible that

To transmit data 9, 20 via the transmission link 6 by means of electromagnetic waves, by means of optical signals, in particular in the infrared range or by means of acoustic signals, in particular in the ultrasound range. Depending on the selected transmission type, all known modulation types, e.g. Amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, phase modulation, pulse modulation etc. are used.

In order to transmit signals corresponding to data 9, 20 in the case of wireless transmission by means of electronic To be able to radiate magnetic waves, for example, via the antenna 10, these are shifted to a higher frequency range via the modulators assigned to the transmitter unit 7. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a transmitting antenna 10 can be picked up by at least one antenna 10 with the reception function of any object 2, 3. A demodulator assigned to the receiving unit 14 shifts the received message back into the original frequency range by demodulation. A converter downstream of the demodulator, for example an analog / digital converter, in turn converts the preferably analog signal into digital form if the evaluation unit 16, 37 is formed by components of digital technology. Similarly, a converter upstream of the transmitter unit 7 or the modulator, for example a digital / analog converter, converts the data signal present in digital form in the case of a digital evaluation unit 16, 37 into analog form.

Especially in the case of data transmission by means of optical or acoustic signals, the converters or modulators can also be omitted, since the data 9, 20 can also be transmitted directly as a pulse code or with pulse duration modulation. When the data 9, 20 are transmitted by means of optical or acoustic signals, the antennas 10 are replaced by components of optoelectronics, such as Infrared transmit and infrared receive diodes or by electro-acoustic transducers, e.g. Ultrasound speakers and ultrasound microphones, formed.

The choice of the respective transmission type depends essentially on the desired range of the wireless transmission link 6. So it is e.g. to advantageously use radio transmission for a desired transmission path 6 of a few kilometers. If the transmission link 6 has a short range, one does not necessarily have to rely on a radio transmitter and a radio receiver to set up the transmission link 6, but also finds it satisfactory with ultrasound transmitters and ultrasound receivers. If the requirement for visual contact is unproblematic, the transmission link 6 can also be constructed in a particularly simple and energy-optimized manner via infrared transmitters and infrared receivers.

In order to avoid overlap of the data 9, 20 of several transmitting objects 2, 3, it is possible to limit the range or the reception sensitivity of the transmitting and / or receiving units 7, 14 in such a way that data transmission is only possible within a few meters, for example one meter. If the number of people within a radius of approximately 1 meter and / or the number of objects is relatively small, it is for an active, willing person with object 2 or 3 It is particularly easy to be able to query someone from the outside who seems interesting or desirable in principle via item 2 or 3 about the basic human needs, without having to make direct contact immediately, which could lead to an unpleasant situation or a removal. It is thus easier for object 2 or 3 for a person who is willing to make contact, for example a male gender, to make conversational contact or to decide to refrain from this person at all by the conversation-free advance information of the person having object 2 or 3 and female type and type. The transmission power or the reception sensitivity of the transmission and / or reception unit 7, 14 can be preset by the input device 11 in a range from 0 m to over 1000 m.

A further possibility for avoiding the overlap of the data 9, 20 of a plurality of transmitting units 7 transmitting simultaneously is to provide a plurality of transmission and / or reception frequencies for the transmission of the data 9, 20. Each object 2, 3 checks before switching to the transmission mode whether the intended transmission frequency is already occupied by another object 2, 3 within the transmission link 6. If this is the case, this object 2, 3 checks the next available transmission frequency for an existing data transmission or occupancy. This check of the occupancy of the various transmission channels can be carried out in a simple manner via the receiving units 14 if a specific identifier, for example a busy signal or a busy signal, is received when the channel frequency is busy. Thus, each object 2, 3 from a plurality of objects 2, 3 can sweep through all available transmission frequencies in order to find at least one unoccupied channel for transmitting the data 9, 20.

In the same way, the receiving units 14 scan all possible receiving frequencies in order to be able to recognize an intended or already initiated transmission of the data 9, 20. This scanning process over the available channels or over the possible transmission bandwidth is controlled by the computer unit 50, 51.

If the connection between two objects 2, 3 or persons lying within the maximum transmission path 6 is then established, a busy signal is preferably likewise transmitted at least during the exchange of data 9, 20 between the objects 2, 3 which are in wireless connection. Both transmission and reception units 7, 14 with successive or simultaneous transmission and reception options can be used and therefore separate transmission and reception antennas or - as shown schematically - antennas 10 can be used for simultaneous transmission and reception of signals.

There is also the possibility of designing the antennas 10 in such a way that each transmission unit 7 is restricted to a specific solid angle range and is designed with respect to the directional characteristic in such a way that only one transmitting object 2, 3 can be received in this spatial range. This substantially reduces interference between transmitting objects 2, 3 with one another. The directional characteristic can be achieved, for example, by designing the antenna 10 as a parabolic mirror or as a directional antenna for a radio transmitter or also for a radio receiver.

The electrical components of the objects 2, 3 are preferred, especially in the case of a mobile or a person or a living being, such as an animal, associated objects 2, 3 via their own energy supply unit 12, for example formed by batteries, accumulators and / or Solar cells supplied with electrical energy. In the case of essentially local or stationary objects in particular, it is also possible to form the power supply unit 12 by means of a power supply connected to a public power supply network for converting the supply voltage supplied, as a result of which any maintenance work, such as charging processes or an exchange of the electrochemical voltage sources 13, is eliminated.

Of course, it is also possible to transmit the electrical energy required by the objects 2, 3 wirelessly via electromagnetic fields and to convert them into electrical voltage and electrical current within the objects 2, 3 by means of converters, in particular coils, this wireless energy transmission also for maintenance of the charged state of the electrochemical voltage sources 13 can be used.

Furthermore, it is also possible to transmit the data 9, 20 via the antennas 10 with various directional characteristics, such as spherical shape, figure-eight shape, club shape or the like, and to localize the sending object 2, 3 star-shaped guide beams over the 360 ° one to be distributed at least horizontally, whereby the Ending object 2, 3 lies in the star point of the guide beams emitted in a star shape. An object 2, 3 receiving these guide beams can then locate a transmitting object 2, 3 in a simple manner via these multiple beams.

With a correspondingly powerful energy supply unit 12 and a relatively small transmission path 6, it is also possible to keep the transmitter unit 7 constantly activated for the transmission of the data 9, 20. To minimize the electrical energy consumption, however, it is also possible to activate the transmitting unit 7 and possibly also the receiving unit 14 periodically and / or intermittently and / or sporadically. The activation and deactivation of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 7, 14 can be carried out manually via the control elements 43 of the input device 11, 23 as desired.

Of course, however, it is also possible, above all, to use the relatively power-intensive transmission unit 7 during certain periods, e.g. automatically activate during the evening or during the usual time to go out. Furthermore, it is possible - as shown in dashed lines - to precede or post an encryption device 54 to the transmitting unit 7 and to pre-or post a decryption device 55 to the receiving unit 14. The encryption and decryption device 54, 55 is formed when using a digital computer unit 50, 51 in object 2, 3 by a corresponding software program. If there is then a data transmission between two objects 2, 3, before the actual transmission of the data 9, 20 to be protected from eavesdropping or evaluation by unauthorized third parties, an encryption and decryption code between the two objects 2 intended to be transmitted is briefly 3 formed and fixed. This encryption and decryption code, with which the data 9, 20 is encrypted before being sent and decrypted by the authorized remote station with the same encryption and decryption code, is preferably formed by a random generator in one of the items 2, 3 and as an encryption or decryption code set for both communicating objects 2, 3. The encryption or decryption code is chosen in such a way that receiving the data 9, 20 transmitted in encrypted form by a third party results in data 9, 20 which is unreasonable or unusable.

Will the transmission time of the common encryption and decryption codes kept short, it is unlikely to be caught by third parties.

The electrical or electronic components shown in FIG. 2 or in FIG. 1 form in the interconnection shown schematically, that is to say a control and evaluation units 56, 57 for the wireless transmission of personal and / or relevant data 9, 20, which can be found in a wide variety of different ways Formations that can represent objects 2, 3.

3 and 4, the control and evaluation unit 56, 57 is integrated in objects 2, 3 designed as watches 58, 59, in particular wristwatches 60, 61.

The clocks 58, 59 have an analog or digital display for visualizing the time of day and, if appropriate, an additional display for outputting date information.

The input device 11, 23 is formed by its own operating elements 43 forming the keyboard 41, 42 and / or by the customary operating elements 43 for setting the time of day and the selection of the various individual functions on the housing of the clocks 58, 59. The control elements 43 can also include input keys with multiple functions, for example in the form of cross rockers for cursor control of a display device 28, 39 having a plurality of display levels or menus.

The optical output device 22, 38 or the display devices 28, 39 support a user of the objects 2, 3 on the one hand in the input of his individual personal and / or factual data 9, 20 and on the other hand for the visualization of the control and evaluation unit 56 , 57 results.

The display device 39 shows the degree of correspondence between received data 20 and one's own data 9, which data 9, 20 can be formed by actual and / or target data, graphically in a diagram by individual bars corresponding to the different data groups Height, by means of a bar graph display and a corresponding numerical value. Of course, it is of course also possible to output the degree of correspondence or the amount of the deviation in text form via the display device 39 or in verbal form via the signaling device 40.

That from the bearing and / or locating device 33 or from the computer unit 51 Determined values for localizing the corresponding remote station can be output via the display device 39, the distance to the remote station in meters being shown in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, and the direction of the corresponding remote station being indicated in the form of arrows in the form of arrows in the form of arrows.

4, the display device 28 has a plurality of display fields, e.g. to determine the location of the remote station, to display the time of day, to output the received third-party data in text form and to visualize an image of the corresponding person and / or the relevant object. The display field for locating the remote station can be related to cardinal points or a direct air line and can also include the distance information. The display panel with the possibility of displaying texts, numerical values and / or graphics can be switched over or expanded in the display scope using the control elements. A possibly received image of the corresponding remote station or the person assigned to it and / or the corresponding object can be visualized via a further display field of the display device 28. Due to the image of the remote station, for example represented as a pixel graphic, it is also possible under certain circumstances to dispense with a separate bearing and location device 33, since it is possible to uniquely identify and locate the same via this display device with image reproduction.

The image data are also transmitted or received wirelessly via the transmission link 6 by means of the antennas 10. According to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 3, the antennas 10 can be formed, for example, by a flexible leaf spring antenna integrated or partially embedded in the bracelet or also by a short rod antenna shown schematically in FIG. 4.

Furthermore, it is possible to output the received name of the corresponding remote station via the display device 28 and thus possibly to find out the corresponding person and / or the relevant object without directing and / or locating device 33 by direct inquiries with individual persons.

Regardless of the design variants of the objects 2, 3 as wristwatches 60, 61 shown in FIG. 3, it is of course also possible to use the object 2, 3 with the control and evaluation unit 56, 57 as a key fob, as a belt, as Pager, as a piece of jewelry, in particular as a ring, earrings, brooch or pin, as a pocket device or as a calculator, since these objects represent 2, 3 objects of daily use, are inconspicuous and / or have a design task and are therefore almost permanent by one Person worn or assigned to this.

Especially in the case of objects with limited space, such as wristwatches 60, 61, it is advantageous to use the interfaces 45, 47 for transmitting or receiving personal and / or factual data 9, 20 and operationally relevant data from the higher-level administration and / or Control unit 48 - Fig. 2 - to realize. It is also possible, particularly in the case of limited space, to combine the input device 11, 23 and the output device 22, 38, that is to say to form a so-called “touch screen” in accordance with all of the designs known from the prior art.

FIG. 5 shows the data transmission system 1 with several objects 2, 3 assigned to individual persons and objects in a schematic, exemplary representation. The wirelessly transmitted and / or received data 9, 20, in particular formed by actual and / or target data relating to people or objects, are transmitted by each participant of the data transmission system 1 and can be received by each participant at the same time and on the basis of their own data 9, 20 can be evaluated. The control and evaluation units 56, 57 of the data transmission system 1 are formed by mobile and stationary objects 2, 3. The mobile objects 2, 3, for example the wristwatches 60, 61 or a pager 62, are assigned to individual persons. Fixed objects 2 are preferably assigned to objects, such as a painting 63 or a motor vehicle 64, and send the corresponding factual data 9 of these objects. The mobile and / or fixed objects 2, 3 are therefore found at locations with sales and / or purchase activity of objects, such as Department stores, trade shows, auctions or dealers application. The objects 2, 3 assigned to persons or living beings for sending and / or receiving personal and / or relevant data 9, 20 can also be used in everyday areas, such as be used in localities, in public, on the street or at other locations to find partners and / or to advertise or search for objects.

Of course, it is also possible to use all known from the prior art Use transmission protocols, procedures for establishing a connection or handshake procedures similar to a computer network with a time-shifted or frequency-shifted connection establishment.

Finally, for the sake of order, it should be pointed out that individual components and assemblies are shown disproportionately and to scale in the drawings for better understanding of the invention.

Individual features of the individual exemplary embodiments can also form the subject of independent inventions on their own with other individual characteristics of other exemplary embodiments or in each case on their own.

Above all, the individual in FIGS. 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 shown embodiments form the subject of independent, inventive solutions. The tasks and solutions according to the invention in this regard can be found in the detailed descriptions of these figures. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the circuit diagrams shown are simplified block diagrams in which individual circuit details are not shown and can be realized with any components of electrical engineering or electronics known from the prior art.
