  • Mr. Franz Huber sees the business card terminal 2 in a shopping mall and decides to order 100 new business cards. Mr. Huber pays at the business card terminal 2 and enters his name "Franz Huber” and his mailing address "1130 Vienna, Hetzendorferstr. 158" by means of the keyboard 15.
  • Mr. Huber has a computer, namely the second computer 4, and a telephone, namely the telephone 8, and by means of the keyboard 15 he also enters his e-mail address "HUBER@ABC.COM" and the telephone number "+4318490023" of his telephone 8. Mr.
  • Huber has a company which has a home page on the internet NET, which home page is stored in the third computer 5 with the IP address "443267764356". Mr.Huber also enters this IP address by means of the keyboard 15 and subsequently activates the printing process of the business card terminal 2.

  • the data set information DI received by the interface means 23 of the computer server 6 is stored in the link memory means 24 by the interface means 23 and is allocated to the fifth row of the link table 25.
  • the process described in the foregoing causes the 100 business cards of Mr. Huber to be initialized in the computer server 6. In the present example it is now assumed that at a meeting Mr. Huber hands the business card to Mr. Meier and the business card 14 to Mrs. Muller, who he has met during this meeting.
  • Mr. Huber's e-mail address and telephone number are automatically stored in Mr. Meier's computer 3 and Mr. Meier directly receives information from the home page of Mr. Huber's company. It is then particularly advantageous that the address information AI is not stored directly in the data carrier 10 of the business card 13 but is stored in the link memory means 24, because as a result of this Mr. Huber can have the address information AI changed at any time, for example to announce a new telephone number of his telephone 8. In addition, this yields the advantage that not all the address information AI has to be stored in the data carrier 10 but only the link information LI which requires less storage capacity, as a result of which the data carriers can be particularly cheap.
  • address information AI stored in the link memory means 24 for the link information LI of Mr. Huber's business cards can be changed in different manners. For example, to change the address information AI Mr. Huber may call the operator of the computer server 6 or send an e-mail message to the operator of the computer server 6. However, it is also possible that during the print-out of the business cards he purchased Mr. Huber is given a password which is displayed on the monitor 16 and which allows him and only him, by means of his computer 4, to change the address information AI stored in the link memory means 24 in correlation with the link information LI of his business cards.
  • IP address of the link device i.e. of the computer server 6
  • the IP address of the link device may be stored in the data carriers of the business cards and may be read by means of the read device 21. This would enable a plug-in for the internet browser as described hereinbefore to be basically dispensed with.
  • Mrs. M ⁇ ller holds the business card received from Mr. Huber in the proximity of her mobile telephone 7, which also forms a communication device.
  • a read device 26 included in the mobile telephone 7 is thus adapted to read the serial number "123456789002" of the data carrier 11 as link information LI.
