Abstract

A method implemented at least in part by a computer for sending data to a distant server, the method comprising: (a) a sending step wherein a user sends data to the server in a non authenticated matter; (c) an authentication step wherein the origin of the data is authenticated by the server.

Claims

1. A method implemented at least in part by a computer for sending data to a distant server, the method comprising:

(a) a sending step wherein a user sends data to the server in a non authenticated manner;

(c) an authentication step wherein the origin of the data is authenticated by the server.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein at said sending step (a), the user sends an initial e-mail to a publicly known e-mail address which is non-specific to the user, said initial e-mail including said data.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein said publicly known e-mail address is unique.

4. The method according to claim 1, further including, between the sending step (a) and the authentication step (c):

(b) a response step wherein a response e-mail is automatically sent to a response address of the initial e-mail, said response e-mail containing a link to a website, said link being specific to said data sent at the sending step, and wherein at the authentication step (c), the user accesses said website through said link and the origin of the data is authenticated through said website.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein at said authentication step (c), the origin of the data is automatically authenticated if said user accesses said website through a personal device already having an active session with said website.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein at said authentication step (c), the origin of the data is authenticated by entering at least one password on said website.

7. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein said authentication step (c) begins with creating a user account if the user previously had no account.

8. The method according to claim 1 for sending said data to a gallery which is specific to the user, wherein at said sending step (a), said data is automatically stored in a memory which is non-specific to the user gallery, and wherein said authentication step (c) is followed by:

(d) a storage step wherein said data is automatically stored in the user gallery.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein said storage step (d) is followed by a transaction step wherein a transaction is proposed to the user, related to said electronic object.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said data includes at least one electronic object.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein said electronic object is chosen in the group comprising:

a photograph, a 3D model.

12. A server programmed to perform actions comprising:

(a) receiving data on the server from a user in a non authenticated manner;

(c) authenticating the origin of the data.

13. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions, which when executed on a server, perform actions comprising:

(a) receiving data on the server from a user in a non authenticated manner;

(c) authenticating the origin of the data.

14. The computer program which when executed on a server, perform actions comprising:

(a) receiving data on the server from a user in a non authenticated manner;

(c) authenticating the origin of the data.
