Abstract

In the method of the invention objects can be identified on the basis of location and one or more characteristics in an improved way. The method is performed by means of a user device (1) and a service (5) offering a service with which objects can be identified. In the method of the invention, the object to be identified is positioned and the position of the object is sent to the service (5) to which the user device (1) has connected. The user of the user device (1) selects one or more characteristics' presented by the service (5) for an object to be identified. A message containing the position of the object to be identified and selected characteristic (s) is then sent from the user device (1) to the service (5) . The service fetches information on the basis .of the position of the object and the selected characteristic (s) from a database (6) . The fetched information is presented to the user device in the form of alternative objects to be identified.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 11 December 2006 (11.12.2006)
