Auf diese Schaltungsteile wird später eingegangen.The receiving device EE2 is connected to a data interface DS2 which is connected via a data bus DB2 to the Ad ¬ geeinrichtung AE2. If necessary, a user interface B02 is connected to the data bus DB2, and a transmission device SE2 is connected to the data interface DS2. These circuit parts will be discussed later.
Zusätzlich kann in der Uhr UA ein Lautsprecher Ll oder ein Piepser vorgesehen sein, über den das vom Mobilfunkgerät MF empfangene Signalisierungszeichen, beispielsweise ein Klingelsignal, ausgegeben wird. Der Lautsprecher Ll ist, bei- spielsweise über einen Digitalanalogwandler, mit der Empfangseinrichtung EE2 verbunden (in der Figur nicht dargestellt) . Die Daten für das Signalisierungszeichen werden im Mobilfunkgerät MF von der Logikschaltung LS über die Daten- schnittstelle DS und die Sendeeinrichtung SEI an die Uhr UA gegeben.In addition, a loudspeaker L1 or a beeper can be provided in the clock UA, via which the signaling signal received by the mobile radio device MF, for example a ringing signal, is output. The loudspeaker L1 is connected to the receiving device EE2 (for example via a digital-to-analog converter) (not shown in the figure).

At the same time, the folding display offers space for a larger B02 user interface.
Vor der Datenübertragung zwischen Mobilfunkgerät MF und Arm- banduhr UA wird sinnvollerweise eine Authentifizierung durchgeführt. Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, daß die Daten nur zu der zugehörigen Uhr UA beziehungsweise umgekehrt nur zum richtigen Mobilfunkgerät MF, übertragen werden. So kann keine Störung bei den Geräten, Armbanduhr UA und Mobilfunkgerät MF, beispielsweise dicht beieinander stehender Benutzer auftreten. Authentication is sensibly carried out before the data transmission between the mobile radio device MF and the wristwatch UA. This ensures that the data are only transmitted to the associated clock UA or, conversely, only to the correct mobile radio MF. This means that there can be no malfunction in the devices, wristwatch UA and mobile radio MF, for example users standing close together.
