Information retrieval system

To facilitate calling from a mobile station, a method and a device have been invented by means of which the selection of the phone number of a subscriber B has been made easier. When using a mobile station as a navigation device or in connection with one, a connection for one or more records to phone numbers in an abbreviated dialling memory of the mobile station is defined in a geographical point of interest (POI) database of the navigation device. In this way, after the user has first selected his navigation POI, he can make a call to the POI by using a specific 'call POI' switch without having to search the abbreviated dialling memory for a phone number corresponding to the navigation POI at hand and without himself having to dial the phone number. The connection of the navigation POI database to elements of the intercom dialling memory, according to the invention, is preferably implemented by including, in the navigation POI database, a field for the records for an intercom dialling element index.

A user interface of a mobile station includes a display, a keyboard, and an operating knob for using menus. Items describing functions of the mobile station are arranged on a menu. The operating knob is in a control and by rotating the operating knob, an item can be selected on the menu. By pushing the operating knob, a function can be carried out and by pulling it, the last implemented function can be undone.
