First Claim
1. A method for exchanging data between a portable user equipment (MS), a plurality of service stations placed at selected locations and a plurality of mobile service providers (8), said method including the steps of:
- a) generating a first request message including designating service data and related to a stop request at the portable user equipment (MS);
b) transmitting the first request message to at least one of the plurality of service stations, wherein the plurality of service stations are placed at selected locations along a route traversed by the mobile service providers and indicate where the mobile service providers can stop, and each of the plurality of service stations being arranged with a short-range communication module which provides a first transmission zone, the portable user equipment including a compatible short-range communication module;
c) generating a second request message including at least said designating service data and related to the stop request at that one of the plurality of service stations whose first transmission zone contains the portable user equipment upon receiving the first request message;
d) transmitting the second request message, each of the plurality of mobile service providers being arranged with a short-range communication module which provides a second transmission zone, each of the plurality of service stations including a compatible short-range communication module;
e) receiving the second request message related to the stop request at that one of the plurality of mobile service providers whose second transmission zone contains one of the plurality of service stations at which the second request message was generated; and
f) depending on said second request received at said one mobile service provider, stopping such mobile service provider at such service station contained in the second transmission zone of such mobile service provider.

Abstract
The invention concerns a device dedicated to the management of data between at least one user mobile station (MS) equipped with a communication module (1), stationary terminals (3) associated with at least one service, and a plurality of mobile service means (8) equipped with a communication module (9) and adapted to ensure said service. Said device comprises i) first control means (2) designed to be implanted in the user mobile station (MS) and adapted, upon the user'"'"'s instruction to generate a primary request including data defining a request for obtaining a service selected at a terminal (3) installed proximate to the mobile station (MS) and associated with the service, ii) second control means (7) adapted, upon reception of a primary request, to generate a secondary request including data defining a request for ensuring the selected'"'"'service at the terminal (3), and iii) third control means (10) implanted in each of the mobile service means (8) and adapted, upon reception of a secondary request by the associated communication module (9), to order stoppage of the associated mobile service means (8) at the terminal (3), so as to ensure the service requested by the user of the mobile station (MS).
