Abstract
A communication system (100) comprises a service terminal (ST) and a first transmitter function (TX1) in or at the service terminal (ST). The first transmitter function (TX1) is configured for sending a first short-range wireless communication signal (S1) to cause a first reaction (R1) when received by a mobile device (MD) being located within a first distance (D1) or distance range (DR1) from the service terminal (ST). The communication system (100) also comprises a second transmitter function (TX2) in or at the service terminal (ST). The second transmitter function (TX2) is configured for sending a second short-range wireless communication signal (S2) to cause a second reaction (R2) when received by the mobile device (MD) being located within a second distance (D2) or distance range (DR2) from the service terminal (ST), the second distance (D2) or distance range (DR2) being closer to the service terminal (ST) than the first distance (D1) or distance range (DR1).
