Abstract: The inventive information distributing system (1), in particular for railway stations or airports, comprises a control unit (5) delivering information items selected according to a first key value to a main distributor (3), a short-range communications relay (7) for establishing connections with mobile terminals (11, 13, 15). Said control unit comprises a relay interface and a control module carrying out a function of general distribution to the distributor, an inventory function for interacting with the terminals by storing state data received therefrom and by setting a second key value according to a state data sub-group and a particular distribution function for transmitting the information items selected according to the second key value to the terminals having the second sub-group state data.

Abstract: A local communications device comprises a station (9, 25) for communicating with mobile terminals (11) and a controller (3) for transmitting a message of the mobile terminal (11). The inventive device comprises a beacon (19, 21) interacting with a portable passive object (17) for obtaining at least one code word. The controller (3) interacts with the beacon (19, 21) for storing the code word thus obtained and for subsequently actuating a decision mechanism relating to a spontaneous message transmission. A decision for transmitting a message depends, at least partially, on the code word.

Abstract: The invention concerns a transactional device comprising a station (2) capable of performing a transaction, and an equipment (32), for setting up a wireless communication network, with one or more mobile terminals (34), based on a connection protocol, as well as a communication with said station (2). The equipment (32) is configured with a perimeter (36) selected to cover a specific zone, proximate to said station (2), while the connecting protocol is configured to enable initial identity information transmitted by a mobile terminal present in said zone to be exchanged against a unique temporary code, such exchange being followed by launching of a background function enabling part at least of a transaction to be prepared based on said identity information, and so that the station (2) is capable, upon presentation of the unique temporary code, of recovering then completing, if required, and validating the transaction.
