Disclosed is an arrangement for determining a chronological acceptance of spaced-apart devices, comprising at least one transmitter unit which is disposed on each device and from which a signal that identifies said device and has a predefined range can be transmitted. Several personal apparatuses are provided that are to be carried by one respective person and are fitted with a receiver for the signals and a device memory for storing data contents of the emitted signals during a given interval. The range of each transmitter unit defines a respective transmission range. The transmission range and a receive sensitivity of the receiver are adjusted to each other in such a way that no data can be received if the device is located outside a typical zone of attention or perception of humans relative to the personal apparatus carried by the person.
A method for determining an acceptance level of devices, characterized in that an electromagnetic identification signal with a data content and with a transmission power which defines a predefined range is emitted by at least one of the devices, and in that the instantaneous data content is received and stored by a personal apparatus which is carried by a person, the transmission power and the range of the device together with the reception sensitivity of the personal apparatus being matched to one another in such a way that data reception is no longer possible if the device is located outside a typical range of human attention or perception with respect to the personal apparatus which is being worn or carried by the person.
