Abstract:
1. A method for determining an acceptance of devices comprising; transmitting an electromagnetic identification signal with a data content and with a transmission range defining a predetermined coverage by each device; and receiving and storing the current data content by a personal apparatus carried by a person, wherein the transmission range of the device and a receiving sensitivity of the personal apparatus are configured to each other where no more data is received if the device is located outside a typical human attention or perception zone relative to the personal apparatus carried by the person, wherein, by means of a timer in the personal apparatus, an amount of data in an apparatus memory is reduced and/or chronological assignment is carried out and/or it is determined how often and/or how long the person carrying the personal apparatus has been located within the respective transmission range of the device, wherein within the framework of the method, the timer is temporarily switched over in a clock sequence by a device signal to change a clock frequency for receiving and storing the data content and to adjust the clock frequency to typical durations of the person carrying the personal apparatus within the transmission range of the respective device in response to the device signal.
