Abstract: A method of configuring a graphical user interface in a computing device, the device comprising a collection of applications (14), wherein the computing device is connected to a network, the method comprising: determining (16) for each application a list of services required by the application to be executed, determining (18) a collection of available resources as the resources able to be accessed by the computing device through the network, a resources being able to provide a service, comparing (15) the list of services required by each application with the services provided by the collection of available resources so as to find a match for each required service of the list of the said application within the collection of available resources, and generating (24) a list of operational applications, an operational application being an application for which each required service has a match provided by the available resources.

Abstract: A technique is provided for controlling a secure registration for a service provided by a web server from a communication terminal in a telecommunications network. The technique includes a web server that saves a dynamically generated code matching the terminal's IP address and transmits a message containing the code to an e-mail address. This address is provided by the user in response to the terminal's connection to the web server. The server transmits to the terminal an application capable of generating an automated test to tell computers apart from humans. The answer provided by the user is encrypted with the terminal's IP address and the code contained in the message transmitted to the e-mail address, and is directly transmitted by the application to the server, which decrypts it and compares it with an expected answer to enable access to the web server if the decrypted answer matches the expected answer.

Abstract: A device for deploying a service onto an environment's set of real objects (Obj1, Obj2, Obj3), comprising means of interaction (T, TC) with a user (U) in order to select said service from among a set of available services, each available service being associated with points of interface,—means of storing representations (OWE1, OWE2, OWE3), each representation being associated with a given object from among that set and exhibiting associations between available operations and possible states for the given object,—processing means (SM) for carrying out at least one match between a point of interface associated with the service and at least one available operation contained within the representation of a real object and associated with its current state,—And activation means (LM) for deploying the at least one match by connecting the service and the real object.

Abstract: To check a secure registration to a service provided by a web server from a communication terminal (TC), the web server (SW) saves a dynamically generated code matching the terminal (TC)'s IP address and transmits a message containing the code (CodC) to an e-mail address. This address is provided by the user in response to the terminal's connection to the web server. The server transmits to the terminal an application (App) capable of generating an automated test in order to tell computers apart from humans. The answer provided by the user is encrypted with the terminal's IP address and the code contained in the message transmitted to the e-mail address, and is directly transmitted by the application to the server, which decrypts it and compares it with an expected answer in order to enable access to the Web server if the decrypted answer matches the expected answer.
