Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9856155A1] Communications between stations (1) of a network are set up under control of tokens (11) inserted in base units (7-9) at the stations (1), finger-depression of any token (11) causing data identifying the token (11) and its unit (7-9) to be transmitted for read out from a central database unit (27) of data that establishes communication with the station (1) where a paired or other related token (11) is located. The database is updated according to movements from station (1) to station (1) of the tokens (11), enabling related tokens (11) distributed between different users to be used for immediate communication without keying in of location-data. The establishment of communication-connection is signified at the called station (1) by energising an LED (29 Fig 2; 29' Fig 3) within the token (11) or its base unit (9). Alternative tokens (31 Fig 4; 41 Fig 5) with (or without) appropriate interface base-units and operated differently are described, together with communication via the Internet (Fig 6).
