The second user device displays the second image set and the user request. The user of the first user device selects at least one displayed first image, the selected first image matching an image visually selected within the displayed second image set, according to a rule known to the user and the server. The first user device sends to the server the first user device identifier accompanied with data relating to the selected first image.
