Abstract: A method is described for directing a user of a mobile device from a current location to a product, wherein an identification code of the product is recorded in the mobile device and transmitted to a name server. The identification code is used in the name server among others for loading product-related data into the mobile device, e.g. a geographical location where the product can be bought. Following this, the user of the mobile device can go to said geographic location. For directing said user to the product, a direct contactless connection is established between said mobile device and a RFID element with which said product is marked, by using the same identification code or product-related data previously supplied by the name server.

Abstract: A method and means for finding recorded data in a database are described. For this, a user of a mobile telephone with integrated digital camera can for example on the basis of a first digital image initiate over a mobile radio network a search for further images of other users in the database. To digital images, metafiles are appended whose metadata contain among others spatial, temporal, etc. information about the record. In case of partial correlation between the metadata of a first digital image with metadata of the further images of the database, the images from the database over the mobile radio network are forwarded to and displayed on the reproducing device of the mobile telephone.

Abstract: A transaction method, a service center, and a device for carrying out the transaction method. In the transaction method object picture data relating to a transaction object, for example a product or a service, are made visible to a user, for instance by projecting image signals corresponding to the object picture data directly on the retina of the user. Eye features of the user are determined while the object picture data, made visible, are viewed by him/her, for example by the light being captured that is reflected by the retina owing to the projected image signals and retina patterns of the user being determined from the determined reflection data and the associated object picture data. The determined eye features with object data relating to the transaction object are linked in a transaction record and the transaction record is forwarded to a processing unit.
