The information on each user is stored in a World Database — surname patronymic — finger’s print — files

Between the World Database and your phone is the open and close communication, at the same time safe and reliably protected, because access is executed only through fingerprints.

If you lose phone, the information which was on it, will not be lost. You will never worry because of a place lack on phone. In the Database the copy of all files is automatically created. Your phone stores only references to your files.

In each country there are: — operators of mobile communication — Local Database, connected with the World Database

Pin-code input is the finger touch to identification area. The phone stores in its memory only your fingerprints. It applies not only to switching on the phone, but also to pressing the buttons. It means that only you can use your phone.

Use of fingerprints allows to refuse from telephone numbers.

Instead of numbers fingerprints are used as the closest identifier of the person.

If you wish to register the friend in your phone’s memory, you ask him to touch to identifier of fingerprints on your phone. Surname, name and patronymic of your friend and also information about the operator to which he is connected will be automatically sent from the World Database.

On the contrary, phone numbers remain at various establishments: Institutes, firms, factories, banks, airports, cafes, etc.

If the person is far and can’t personally leave the fingerprints, you direct inquiry to the Database on his name with the request to allow you to give the data on this person. He, in turn, directs inquiry to the World Database with the permission to give his data to you.

Use of fingerprints allows to refuse from sim-card. It’s enough to touch the indicator of fingerprints opposite to a logo of mobile operator on the special device in salon of communication.

Your fingerprint will be directed to the Local Database of this operator. In the World Database it’ll automatically be displayed what operator you were connected to.

If you wish to use more operators, you leave the fingerprint opposite to their logos. You just choose operator which services you wish to use at the moment.

Thus in the phone book of your friends the list of operators to which you are connected, and also which services are active at the moment will be displayed.

You will never lose touch with the necessary people even if they change the mobile operator.

In communication salons there are devices with indicators of fingerprints and sockets for money. Money isn’t stored on a sim-card, they are directed on your page in Local Database of the operator.

If you lose the phone, you shouldn’t restore anything. It’s enough to touch the indicator of fingerprint on a new phone and then you can use the services of your operator and money which were on your account. Also you’ll receive references to all your files from your page in the World Database.

Your phone is supplied by a special device of search. You set the distance in which limits there should be the phone. If phone keeps away from this distance the device gives a signal. From time to time you can check up, whether on a place your phone, pressing the check button on the device.

The slogan ÂŤNokia connecting peopleÂť with the image of two incorporating hands has got new sense: two incorporating fingers instead of hands. Further in advertising everything that is related to touches will be used.

Preview trailer: the guy runs up to the girl behind and closes her eyes, she recognizes him by a touch of his fingers on her face. We allow to touch us to whom we trust. Friendship, trust, affinity. Phones become closer to the person.

Instead of printing figures you use own fingers as identifiers of figures. Every finger is responsible for figure.

Each button is like a wheel. You should turn it and stop on the letter which is necessary at the moment.
