Patent ID: 7660863

Claim:
A method for communication between a first unit and a second unit via a telecommunications network, wherein the first unit comprises a first family of applications and a second family of applications, and the first unit imposes a limitation on the communications of the applications of the first family, said limitation being detectable by the second unit for determining whether a communication from the first unit is originated by an application of the first family or an application of the second family, the method comprising the steps of: /a1/ executing in the first unit an application of the first family which was not downloaded from the second unit, the execution comprising posing a question to a user of the first unit; /a2/ obtaining, by a confidence component belonging to the second family of applications, a statement of said question, said obtaining comprising the following sub-steps: /a2-1/ indicating from said application of the first family to the confidence component an address of the second unit and a request to be submitted in order to obtain the statement of the question from the second unit; /a2-2/ transmitting the request from the confidence component to the indicated address via the network; /a2-3/ retrieving the statement of the question at the confidence component from a response to the request returned by the second unit via the network; /b/ presenting the question by the confidence component via a user interface and capturing a response from the user by the confidence component; and /c/ for at least one type of response from the user, transmitting from the confidence component to the second unit, via the network, at least one message identifying the question presented and indicating the response captured, said message being transmitted without the limitation imposed to the applications of the first family, such that for the type of response reflecting a refusal of the user in relation to the question posed, the confidence component does not transmit the message of step /c/ to the second unit, the transmission of the message transmitted in step /c/ enabling a validation of the response of the user at the second unit by making sure that said message has actually been transmitted without the limitation imposed to the applications of the first family.
