Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'établir une communication entre des abonnés de réseaux de communication/données sans fil, qui se trouvent à une distance permettant un contact visuel pendant un intervalle de temps prédéterminé. Une distance seuil, en dessous de laquelle un éventuel contact visuel peut se produire, ainsi qu'un intervalle de temps, pendant lequel des appels entrants consécutifs sont reçus de différents abonnés qui sont éventuellement en contact visuel, sont déterminés. Dès lors qu'un appel entrant est identifié, la distance relative entre l'abonné qui a engagé l'appel entrant et les abonnés qui ont engagé des appels entrants reçus précédemment, pendant l'intervalle de temps, est calculée. Si cette distance est inférieure à la distance seuil, l'information nécessaire pour établir une communication avec l'abonné et/ou avec d'autres abonnés qui se trouvent à des distances relatives inférieures à la distance seuil, est mise à disposition des abonnés, pendant l'intervalle de temps.
