Abstract
A communication system (100) comprises a thin-client mobile terminal (MT) having a device identity (MT_ID), a thin-client service terminal (ST), and a remote system server resource (SS). The thin-client mobile terminal (MT) is configured for receiving (101) from the service terminal (ST) a short-range wireless communication signal (BA) representing an identification request (ID_REQ), and in response communicating (102) with the remote server resource (SS) by long-range broadband data communication to report the identification request (ID_REQ) as well as the device identity (MT_ID) of the mobile terminal (MT). The remote system server resource (SS) is configured for using the reported device identity (MT_ID) of the mobile terminal (MT) to retrieve (103; 105; 103′) identification information (ID_INFO) about a human person (P) by accessing a storage (192, 192′), and causing communication communication (104; 106) of the retrieved identification information (ID_INFO) to the thin-client service terminal (ST) by long-range broadband data communication.
