A stationary data processing device communicates with a mobile data processing device, such as a client in the field of augmented-reality techniques in an automation system, or a production machine, or a machine tool or parts thereof. The stationary data processing device includes a server for communication with a browser on the mobile data processing device; an information broker for providing context-related information; legacy systems that contain and store information; and an information model that represents the information space and that allows navigation within the information and access to the information by the information broker independent of the legacy systems. The information broker utilizes the actual context, especially location, work situation, EA devices used and the information model.

System and method for communication between a mobile data processing device and a stationary data processing device

A method for establishing a wireless communication connection between an automation component and a mobile operating terminal is provided. The automation component reads out a first request from a tag, wherein the operating terminal has stored the first request on the tag using a read/write device, the operating terminal requesting information from the automation component by the first request via wireless communication connections provided by the automation component. The automation component stores the information via the wireless communication connection on the tag and then reads out a second request from the tag, wherein the operating terminal has stored the second request on the tag, the establishment of a first communication connection being requested in the second request. Further, a first communication module of the automation component intended for the first communication connection is activated, the operating terminal then establishing the first communication connection to the automation component.

Method for establishing a wireless communication connection between an automation component and a mobile operating terminal

The invention relates to a system and a method for combined use of different types of display with system-controlled, context-dependent information display, having a mobile data processing apparatus and having a plurality of interaction devices which are operated in parallel by the mobile data processing apparatus for display and/or input, and having a higher-level system for monitoring the interaction devices such that at least one respectively suitable output display type is selected as a function of the input parameters.
