Method of reporting errors occurring in the execution of a program in an electronic terminal
First Claim
1. An electronic terminal (1) comprising at least one program memory (40, 42) for storing at least a program, at least a processor (36) intended to execute said program, means (60;
- S1) for automatically generating at least a data item (I(R)) relating to an error in executing said program (R), an error memory (44) for storing (60;
S2) said data item, and means of transmission (21, 50) for transmitting the contents of said error memory (60;
S3).

Abstract
The invention proposes a method of reporting errors occurring in the execution of a program in an electronic terminal. When an error occurs during the execution of a program, a data item relating to this error is processed automatically and stored in an error memory of the terminal. The contents of the error memory are transmitted to a remote apparatus (for example, to a server belonging to the manufacturer of the terminal) either periodically, or when the error memory is full, or upon request by the server. This transmission can be advantageously effected by means of an electronic message of the Internet, WAP or I-MODE type.
Applications: any electronic terminal equipped with means of telecommunication suitable for transmitting the contents of a memory.

13. A method of retrieving errors (R) likely to occur during the execution of at least a program in at least an electronic terminal (1), characterised in that it comprises:
-
equipping said terminal (1) with means (60;
S1) for automatically generating at least a data item relating to at least an error in the execution of a program, an error memory (44) for storing said data item (60;
S2), and means of transmission (21, 50) for transmitting the contents of said error memory (60;
S3),providing at least a central electronic apparatus (2) intended to receive the contents of the memory for errors likely to be transmitted by said terminal.
