Abstract
The invention relates to the use of services in a communication system which includes user-operated mobile terminals. In order so that the capabilities of a large display can be used in connection with a normal service session between a mobile terminal and a service application, service objects are displayed on a screen of a display unit external to a mobile terminal. When the user selects at least one object on the screen, selection parameters are defined which describe the selection. Based on the selection parameters, service-related information is further determined. The service-related information includes at least a resource identifier, which refers to a location of the service application in the network. A service request is then sent to the location, where new service content, which is to be transmitted to the mobile terminal, is determined on the basis of the request.
