Abstract

The invention relates to a method for locating a mobile object or pointer (14) with respect to a base (10, I) connected to an electronic system (21) by using radio frequencies for locating said movable object or pointer with respect to at least two antennas or radio transducers which are connected to the base and/or fixed with respect thereto and also for transmitting at least one piece of data between the pointer and the base.
