Method for establishing a local connection between electronic terminals (11, 20), whereby the electronic terminals (11; 20) are located in spatial proximity to each other, characterized by the following steps: via a first electronic terminal, which is equipped with a camera, information data (12, 21) relating to at least one second electronic terminal and to at least one third electronic terminal, which are provided to characterize the second electronic terminal and the third electronic terminal, between which a connection shall be established, are generated or captured, whereby the information data are captured by the camera in the form of image data and are transmitted to an external computer unit; in an analysis device assigned to the computer unit, the information data (21, 21) are analysed, by means of an image-analysis-method, for contents that characterize the at least one second electronic terminal and the at least one third electronic terminal; on the basis of the analysed contents, data for establishing a connection between the at least one second electronic terminal and the at least one third electronic terminal are determined in a database associated with the computer unit, in which information data to different electronic terminals are stored, which are linked to respective data for establishing a connection to other electronic devices, whereby the computer unit at least temporarily accesses said database; after the analysis of the information data, the computer unit compares the analysed contents with such information data, which are stored in said database; if there is a consistence between the analysed information data and the information data in said database, the assigned and in this way determined data for the establishment of the connection are used by said computer unit for establishing the local connection; and on the basis of the determined connection establishment data, a connection is established between the at least one second electronic terminal and the at least one third electronic terminal. via a first electronic terminal, which is equipped with a camera, information data (12, 21) relating to at least one second electronic terminal and to at least one third electronic terminal, which are provided to characterize the second electronic terminal and the third electronic terminal, between which a connection shall be established, are generated or captured, whereby the information data are captured by the camera in the form of image data and are transmitted to an external computer unit; in an analysis device assigned to the computer unit, the information data (21, 21) are analysed, by means of an image-analysis-method, for contents that characterize the at least one second electronic terminal and the at least one third electronic terminal; on the basis of the analysed contents, data for establishing a connection between the at least one second electronic terminal and the at least one third electronic terminal are determined in a database associated with the computer unit, in which information data to different electronic terminals are stored, which are linked to respective data for establishing a connection to other electronic devices, whereby the computer unit at least temporarily accesses said database; after the analysis of the information data, the computer unit compares the analysed contents with such information data, which are stored in said database; if there is a consistence between the analysed information data and the information data in said database, the assigned and in this way determined data for the establishment of the connection are used by said computer unit for establishing the local connection; and on the basis of the determined connection establishment data, a connection is established between the at least one second electronic terminal and the at least one third electronic terminal.
