Abstract

The invention relates to a method for enabling the user of at least one mobile terminal to access a plurality of services, said method consisting of: creating (E 1 ) a user account containing user identification data; installing (E 2 ) a software application for accessing the plurality of services on said mobile terminal; creating (E 5 ) an image containing at least one software application identifier on the mobile terminal using the software application; decoding (E 6 ) the data contained in the image using a secure entity for managing the software application; and authorizing (E 8 ) or not authorizing (E 9 ) the access of the user to the plurality of services based on the decoded data.

Claims (34)

1. A computer-implemented method for enabling a user ( 1 ) of at least one mobile terminal ( 2 ) to access at least one of a plurality of services, the method comprising steps for:

creating (E 1 ) a user account containing identification data of said user ( 1 );

installing (E 2 ) in said mobile terminal ( 2 ) a software application for accessing said plurality of services, wherein the software application is associated with at least one software application identifier;

entering (E 4 ) into the mobile terminal ( 2 ) a user personal identification code;

creating (E 5 ), in the mobile terminal ( 2 ), by using said software application, an authorization identifier comprising the at least one software application identifier and the user personal identification code;

providing the software application identifier to a secure management entity ( 3 ); and

enabling (E 8 ) or not enabling (E 9 ) the user ( 1 ) to access said plurality of services according to the software application identifier.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising steps for activating (E 3 ), in the mobile terminal ( 2 ), said software application, by associating said software application identifier with said user account.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising steps for encrypting at least the software application identifier before providing the software application identifier to the secure management entity.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein encrypting the software application identifier further comprises steps for encrypting a user personal identification code.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein encrypting the software application identifier comprises steps for encrypting the software application identifier according to a public key encryption algorithm and wherein the method further comprises steps for decrypting, according to a private key associated with said public key, said software application identifier.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user identification data contained in the user account comprises at least one software application identifier.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the user identification data comprises a single software application identifier, associated with said at least one mobile terminal ( 2 ).

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the user has a number of mobile terminals and the user identification data comprises a plurality of software application identifiers which are respectively associated with said mobile terminals.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the software application identifier comprises a series of alphanumeric characters.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user personal identification code comprises a series of alphanumeric characters.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein said installation step (E 2 ) is performed at least partially from the secure management entity ( 3 ).

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein said authorization identifier is a one- or two-dimensional bar code.

13. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instruction sequences stored thereon, wherein said instruction sequences instructs a processor to perform steps for enabling a user ( 1 ) of at least one mobile terminal ( 2 ) to access a plurality of services, said steps comprising:

creating (E 1 ) a user account containing identification data of said user ( 1 );

installing (E 2 ) in said mobile terminal ( 2 ) a software application for accessing said plurality of services, wherein the software application is associated with at least one software application identifier;

creating (E 5 ), in the mobile terminal ( 2 ), by using said software application, an authorization identifier comprising the at least one software application identifier and a user personal identification code;

providing the software application identifier to a secure management entity ( 3 ); and

enabling (E 8 ) or not enabling (E 9 ) the user ( 1 ) to access said plurality of services according to the software application identifier.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein said authorization identifier is a one- or two-dimensional bar code.

15. A mobile terminal ( 2 ) for enabling a user ( 1 ) of the mobile terminal to access a plurality of services, said mobile terminal comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors configured to perform steps comprising:

creating (E 1 ) a user account containing identification data of said user ( 1 );

installing (E 2 ) in said mobile terminal ( 2 ) a software application for accessing said plurality of services, wherein the software application is associated with at least one software application identifier;

creating (E 5 ), in the mobile terminal ( 2 ), by using said software application, an authorization identifier comprising the at least one software application identifier and a user personal identification code;

providing, when the user requests access to at least one of said plurality of services, the software application identifier to a secure management entity ( 3 ) of said software application to determine if the user is authorized to access said plurality of services,

wherein the user is enabled or not enabled to access said plurality of services according to the software application identifier.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 15 , wherein said authorization identifier is a one- or two-dimensional bar code.
