Abstract
A communication system, in particular a mobile communication system that can to be carried by a user without using hands, which includes a control unit as well as one or more signal receiving modules and signal emitting modules that each have a radio device interface. The control unit includes a registration device to automatically register, or respectively deregister, modules dynamically added to, or respectively removed from, the communication system by the user. Data can be received in the control unit from the modules by the radio device interface, or respectively transmitted selectively to the modules by the radio device interface, it being possible to configure from which signal receiving modules data is supposed to be conducted to which signal emitting modules. The control unit also includes configurable functional units that process data before their transmission to a signal emitting module, as well as a command unit that examines data from signal receiving modules for commands contained therein, in particular user commands, and executes predefined function blocks in accordance with a recognized command.
