METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING A RESPONSE TO AN INQUIRY BY A TERMINAL TO A CONTROL CENTRE FROM SAID CONTROL CENTRE

摘要

The aim of the invention is to ensure a very universal, flexible but also efficient transmission of responses from a control centre to a terminal in reply to an inquiry. To this end, the invention provides for a control centre, a terminal and a method for transmitting a response to an inquiry by a terminal to a control centre from the control centre(5) to the terminal (3) via a communications channel (4). The response contains at least the following elements: one response element data type code which is allocated respectively to a data type of at least one response element data set contained in the response; and at least one response element data set whose at least one data type is allocated respectively to a response element data type code contained in the response. The response element data type codes and the definitions of the data types each allocated to a response element data type code are each stored or can be accessed in the terminal and in the control centre in a table representing the allocation of the data types to the response element data type codes.
