1. A method of connecting at least one man-machine interface for remote manipulation of application data stored in a data source connected to a video conference system, the method comprising:

  • generating first signals by a first man-machine interface of a first terminal, the first signals generated to manipulate application data stored in the data source,transmitting, by the first terminal, the first signals to the video conference system via a transmission channel provided to control a video camera during a video conference, the first and second terminals being communicatively connected to each other for the video conference via the video conference system, the first signals being generated to provide instructions for manipulation of the application data stored in the data source to manipulate the application data;

    receiving the first signals sent from the first terminal, by the second terminal, via the transmission channel;

    in response to the received first signals, communicating a message by the second terminal to query a user of the second terminal whether the application data is to be controlled by the second terminal via the received first signals,the second terminal manipulating the application data based on the received first signals when a response to the message indicates the control of the application data based on the received first signals is permitted, andthe second terminal not adjusting the application data in accordance with instructions provided by the first signals when the response to the message indicates the control based on the received first signals is not permitted.
