Method and device for remotely using a data-processing object in a communications network
First Claim
1. A method for remotely using a data-processing object accessible via a server station connected to a communications network, from a client station connected to the network, the method comprising the following steps:
- sending an object request to the server station, the object request including information for identifying an object accessible via the server station;
receiving an object response sent by the server station, the object response including information for describing a user interface, the information being associated with programmed functions, the interface allowing a user to use the object;
starting up the user interface on the client station;
executing at least one function associated with at least one element of the user interface, in response to the activation of the at least one element by a user;
sending a method-execution request to the server station, in response to the execution of at least one programmed function associated with the at least one active element of the user interface, the method-execution request including the information for identifying the object and at least one command which can be understood by the object.

Abstract
A method for remotely using a data-processing object accessible via a server station connected to a communications network, from a client station connected to the network, comprises the steps of: sending an object request to the server station, the object request including information for identifying an object accessible via the server station; reception of an object response sent by the server station, the object response including information for describing a user interface, the information being associated with programmed functions, the interface allowing a user to use the object; starting up the user interface on the client station; execution of at least one function associated with one element of the user interface, in response to the activation of this element by a user; sending a method-execution request to the server station, in response to the execution of at least one programmed function associated with the element activated, the method-execution request including the information for identifying the object and at least one command which can be understood by the object.

11. A method for executing a function on a data-processing object which can be used, via a server station connected to a communications network, by at least one client station connected to the network, comprising the following steps, implemented in the server station:
-
receiving an object request originating from a client station, the object request including information for identifying a data-processing object accessible via the server station;
sending an object response to the client station, the object response including information for describing a user interface, the information being associated with programmed functions, the interface allowing a user to use the object;
receiving a method-execution request originating from the client station, the method-execution request including the information for identifying the object and at least one command which can be understood by the object. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

24. A device for remotely using a data-processing object accessible via a server station connected to a communications network, from a client station connected to the network, the device comprising:
-
means for sending an object request to the server station, the object request including information for identifying an object accessible via the server station;
means for receiving an object response sent by the server station, the object response including information for describing a user interface, the information being associated with programmed functions, the interface allowing a user to use the object;
means for starting up the user interface on the client station;
means for executing at least one programmed function associated with one element of the user interface, in response to the activation of the element by a user;
means for sending a method-execution request to the server station, the method-execution request including the information for identifying the object and at least one command which can be understood by the object.

27. A device for executing a function on a data-processing object which can be used, via a server station connected to a communications network, by at least one client station connected to the network, comprising:
-
means for receiving an object request, originating from a client station, the object request including information for identifying a data-processing object accessible via the server station;
means for sending an object response to the client station, the object response including information for describing a user interface, the information being associated with programmed functions, the interface allowing a user to use the object identified in advance by the identification information;
means for receiving a method-execution request originating from the client station, the method-execution request including the information for identifying the object and at least one command which can be understood by the object.
