1. A method for transmitting data between a user terminal and another apparatus, the method comprising:
generating a signal for driving an electromagnetic functional unit, the electromagnetic functional unit being an actuator of a loudspeaker of the user terminal or the electromagnetic functional unit being an electromagnetic oscillating circuit connected to the user terminal,
driving the electromagnetic functional unit by the generated signal to produce, by the electromagnetic functional unit, a magnetic signal which carries first data to be transmitted from the user terminal to the other apparatus,
detecting another signal output by the other apparatus, the other signal carrying second data to be transmitted from the other apparatus to the user terminal,
wherein the magnetic signal and the other signal differ in the physical signal type;
wherein the first data are configuration data for configuring the other apparatus,
the method further comprising detecting the magnetic signal by an electromagnetic oscillating circuit of the other apparatus to receive the first data,
the method further comprising configuring the other apparatus based on the received first data.
