Abstract

The terminal implements a method for requesting a personalized service by a communication terminal, said method comprising, following an unlocking of access to a personalized service request device, said device being implemented in the communications terminal: an acquisition of an anonymous unique identifier, adapted to be transmitted by said terminal, in association with a service query, to a service query personalization device, the service query being intended for the service provision device.

Claims (27)

1. A method for requesting personalized service by a communication terminal, the method comprising, following an unlocking of access to a personalized service request device, the device being implemented in the communication terminal:

acquisition of an anonymous unique identifier, adapted to be transmitted, by the terminal, in association with a service query, to a service query personalization device, the service query being intended for a service provision device;

sending, to the service query personalization device, the service query associated with the anonymous unique identifier, the service query being intended for the service provision device; and

after sending of the service query, receiving a personalized response originating from the service provision device, the personalized response resulting from a processing implemented by the service provision device based on a modified query received from the service query personalization device, the modified query having been generated by the service query personalization device based on:

the service query sent; and

the anonymous unique identifier associated with the service query.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acquisition of the identifier comprises one of the following steps:

generating the anonymous unique identifier, or

receiving the anonymous unique identifier from an anonymous unique identifier generator implemented in an equipment of a communication network separate from the service provision device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising capturing data relating to the service, the data capture triggering the sending of the service query.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the data are acquired from a code of a QR code type or of an NFC tag type.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending, to the service provision device, location information of the terminal.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement the method of claim 1 .

7. A method for personalizing service queries by a service query personalization device, the method comprising:

receiving a first service query associated with an anonymous unique identifier originating from a communication terminal, the anonymous unique identifier having been acquired following an unlocking of access to a personalized service request device implemented in the communication terminal, the first service query allowing the service query personalization device to generate a second query from the first service query, the second query being personalized based on data previously recorded by the service query personalization device in association with the anonymous unique identifier.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising sending the second query to the service provision device.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising recording in a database information relating to the first service query indexed by the anonymous unique identifier.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising viewing the database, the second query being acquired by modification of the first service query based on a result of the viewing.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement the method of claim 7 .

12. A communication terminal configured to request a personalized service and comprising:

an identification obtainer configured to acquire, following an unlocking of access to a personalized service request device implemented in the terminal], an anonymous unique identifier, adapted to be transmitted, by the terminal, in association with a service query, to a service query personalization device, the service query being intended for a service provision device;

a transmitter configured to send, to the service query personalization device, a service query associated with the anonymous unique identifier, the service query being intended for the service provision device; and

a receiver configured to receive, after sending of the service query, a personalized response originating from the service provision device, the personalized response resulting from a processing implemented by the service provision device based on a modified query received from the service query personalization device, the modified query having been generated by the service query personalization device based on:

the service query sent; and

the anonymous unique identifier associated with the service query.

13. A service query personalization device comprising:

a transmitter configured to receive a first service query associated with an anonymous unique identifier originating from a communication terminal, the anonymous unique identifier having been acquired following an unlocking of access to a personalized service request device implemented in the communication terminal, the first service query allowing the service query personalization device to generate a second query from the first service query, the second query being personalized based on data previously recorded by the service query personalization device in association with the anonymous unique identifier.
