A system comprising at least one host and at least one guest communicating with each other via a wireless medium and having means for linking a selected host (10) to a selected guest (20). In order to be able to perform such selection and such linking in a simplified manner, the host (10) has means for establishing the link on the double condition that the guest (20) transmits a declaration signal (50) and that this declaration signal (50) is transmitted from within a declaration area (40) of the host (10) which differs substantially from the normal operating area (60) of the guest/host pair. The selection and the linking of the host (10) and the guest (20) is performed simply by putting the selected guest (20) within the declaration area (40) of the selected host (10) and by triggering the transmission of a declaration signal (50) by the selected guest (20) from within this declaration area (40).
A wireless communication system comprising at least one guest (20) having means including a guest transmitter (25) for transmitting guest signals and at least one host (10) having means including a host receiver (15) for receiving the guest signals, said host (10) comprising means for establishing a link with the guest (20) upon reception of a declaration signal (50) transmitted by the guest (20), after which the host (10) will respond to regular operation signals transmitted by the linked guest, characterized in that:
A wireless communication system according to any one of preceding claims, characterized in that the host (10) does not comprise means for intentionally transmitting signals to the guest (10).
A wireless communication system according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the guest (20) does not comprise means for intentionally receiving signals from the host (10).
A wireless communication system according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the host (10) comprises means for indicating to a user that the link is effectively established with the guest.
A wireless communication system according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the system comprises means for breaking up the link with the guest (20) upon reception by the host (10) of an unlinking signal transmitted by the guest (20) while the guest transmitter (25) is located within the declaration area (40) of the host (10), said means not breaking up the link with the guest (20) upon transmission of the guest (20) unlinking signal by the guest (20) while the guest transmitter (25) is located outside said declaration area (40).
A host (10) of a wireless communication system comprising at least one guest (20) and at least one host, said guest (20) having means including a guest transmitter (25) for transmitting guest signals, said host (10) having means including a host receiver (15) for receiving the guest signals and means for establishing a link with the guest (20) upon reception of a declaration signal (50) transmitted by the guest (20), after which the host (10) will respond to regular operation signals transmitted by the linked guest, characterized in that:
A guest (20) of a wireless communication system comprising at least one guest and at least one host (10), said guest (20) having means including a guest transmitter (25) for transmitting guest (20) signals, said host (10) having means including a host receiver (15) for receiving the guest signals and means for establishing a link with the guest (20) upon reception of a declaration signal (50) transmitted by the guest, after which the host (10) will respond to regular operation signals transmitted by the linked guest, characterized in that:
A method of establishing a link between a host (10) having a host receiver (15) and a guest (20) having a guest transmitter (25) of a wireless communication system comprising at least one host and at least one guest, after which the host (10) will respond to regular operation signals transmitted by the linked guest (20), said method comprising the steps of:
