A method, system and devices for creating access to a wireless communication device by using BAN, comprising detecting the presence of a user's body by using a BAN enabled access module connected to the wireless communication device, collecting biometric data of the user and receiving authentication data from a BAN enabled peripheral device through BAN by using the BAN enabled access module and allowing access to the wireless communication device if the collected biometric data and the received authentication data are valid.

System and method for allowing access to electronic devices using a body area network

A method and system for capturing media data using an Body Area Network, BAN, wherein the BAN comprises a BAN enabled media capturing device associated with a first user and at least one BAN enabled communication device associated with a second user, wherein a BAN link is established through the body of the second user between the capturing device and the communication device, when the second user touches the capturing device, settings, related to capturing media data and related to said second user, are downloaded to the capturing device by using the established BAN link and media data is captured with the capturing device by using the downloaded settings wherein the capturing is triggered by the second user.

Method and system for capturing media by using BAN

Disclosed is a method, performed in a Body Area Network (BAN) enabled media experience device for enabling transmission of a media experience according to a stored, predefined user configuration associated with an identification data, userID, of a BAN enabled communication device, the method comprising: establishing a connection between the BAN enabled media experience device and the BAN enabled communication device by using BAN; retrieving the identification data, userID, of the BAN enabled communication device; retrieving the stored, predefined user configuration associated with the userID of the BAN enabled communication device; and initiating transmission of the media experience by the BAN enabled media experience device according to the stored, predefined user configuration.

Dynamic user recommendations for ban enabled media experiences

The present invention concerns wearable electronic communication devices () for control of data transfer in a personal area network. The wearable device is adapted for Body Coupled Communication in close proximity to a person's body. The wearable device comprises an antenna adapted for Body Coupled Communication and a capacitance sensor indicating that the wearable device is in close proximity to the body of the person or even in contact with the body or not. The invention also concerns a portable electronic communication device comprising the inventive wearable device for cooperation with at least a second portable electronic communication device in a personal area network.

Device for control of data transfer in local area network

The present invention concerns devices and methods for control of data transfer in a personal area network. The data transfer being performed by body coupled communication (BCC) and short-range wireless communication between a first portable electronic communication device () and a second portable electronic communication device (). The devices being adapted to be in close proximity to a body of a user and the first portable electronic communication device () is configured to initiate and perform execution of predefined actions by means of the method to cooperate with the second portable electronic communication device () in a system/personal area network.
