- receiving from a remote terminal comprising a web browser a request for the creation of at least one web page configured to manage at least one piece of information stored or one service configured in a mobile terminal, the request being received at a second web server in the data network;
making a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request from the second web server of the data network to the first web server of the mobile terminal in accordance with the at least one API of the plurality of APIs defined in the first web server of the mobile terminal, wherein the HTTP request comprises an identifier of the information or service to be managed;
determining, by a notification system of the first web server, the information or service of the mobile terminal to be managed and the identity of the remote terminal user making the request;
determining, by the first web server consulting a database, access rights of the remote terminal user to the information or service to be managed;
when the remote terminal user does not have permanent access rights to the information or service to be managed, receiving input from the mobile terminal user with respect to providing selective access rights to the remote terminal user;
selectively allowing the remote terminal user to access the information or service to be managed, dependent on the input from the mobile terminal user, comprising one of the following options;
permanently allowing the execution of the API, temporarily allowing the execution, permanently denying the execution of the API or temporarily denying the execution; and
when the remote terminal user is allowed to access the information or service to be managed;
sending an HTTP response from the first web server of the mobile terminal to the second web server of the data network in accordance with the at least one API of the plurality of APIs defined in the first web server of the mobile terminal; and
downloading to the web browser of the remote terminal from the second web server of the data network the at least one web page configured to manage the information stored or service configured in the mobile terminal.
