Abstract: The invention deals a method for controlling the execution of a program by a terminal (1) comprising a screen (12), wherein the method comprises the steps of: configuring the program into an enabled state, wherein at least one process of the program is allowed to be executed by the terminal (1), and a disabled state, wherein execution of any process of the program by the terminal (1) is forbidden, wherein the method further comprises the steps of: displaying (100) on the screen (12) an icon (G) for starting the program according to a first rendering if the program is configured in the enabled state, and displaying (114) said icon (G) according to a second rendering different from the first rendering if the program is configured in the disabled state.

Abstract: A method for selecting at least one element of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), displayed on a display of a device using a touch interface of the device. The method includes: detecting on the touch interface a double touch input, the double touch input including a first and second touch inputs on the touch interface, the first and second touch inputs respectively corresponding to a first location and a second location on the GUI; determining a selection location between the first and second locations; upon detecting a release of the first touch input, determining a first selection location corresponding to the selection location at the moment of the release of the first touch input, determining a second selection location on the GUI as defined by a user using the touch interface; and executing a selection of at least one GUI element located between the first and second selection locations.

Abstract: A method is provided for selecting an electronic content to be displayed on a display of an electronic device controlled by a user interface, a first electronic content already being displayed on the display of the electronic device. The method includes: detecting a first input on a first specific element of the user interface, the specific element pointing toward at least a second electronic content to be displayed, displaying at least a portion of the second electronic content on the display of the electronic device, the portion of the second electronic content overlapping the first electronic content, detecting a second input on a second specific element of the user interface, the detection triggering the display of the second electronic content on the display of the electronic device.
