Abstract: The subject of the invention is in particular the real-time interfacing of a plurality of mobile elements with a computing system. After having selected at least one location module integrated into a mobile element, the at least one location module is activated sequentially. At least one signal is then received from the at least one activated location module and at least one item of information relating to the position of the mobile element including the at least one activated location module is calculated in real time on the basis of the at least one signal received. A single location module may be activated at a given instant.
