A method for reproducing the keypad of the remote control system on a zone of reduced size superimposed on the image of the screen is provided. The image of the keypad on the screen displays virtually, and in real time, the position of the thumb of the hand of the user placed on the remote control system. The image of the keypad on the screen, referred to as zone of reduced size, is more preferably located in a corner of the screen in such a way as to not hide the broadcast image.
