Abstract: A mobile terminal displays on a screen a panel from among a plurality of man-machine interface panels on which graphic objects relative to the applications installed on the mobile terminal may be placed. Each application is associated with at least one application category. The mobile terminal determines (4.2) at least one application category to which is associated the panel displayed on the screen, and decides (4.4) to authorize or not authorize whether the graphic objects are placed on the displayed panel, depending on the application category or categories associated with the displayed panel. A menu, comprising graphic objects relative to the applications and from which graphic objects relative to the applications installed on the mobile terminal may be installed on the displayed panel, is organized depending on the application category or categories associated with the displayed panel.
