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.

Abstract: An odor analysis must be made before any device is capable of synthesizing an odor. Generally, odor analysis must result in an abstract device-independent odor representation that can easily be processed by various devices. Of course, this representation has to be detailed enough to be the basis for a synthesis of an odor by chemical or mechanical processes. The present invention provides a method for coding, processing (e.g. modifying/adapting) and decoding odor. The method according to the invention allows coding a representation of an odor in a digital form or odor information, respectively. This odor information can fulfil the demand of an abstract device-independent odor representation whereas the odor information shows a form adequate for communicating odor information even over a wireless communication network. According to further aspects of the invention, a device for sensing, coding and communicating odor and a device for receiving, decoding and generating odor is provided.
