• each of these network services allows the sharing of information chosen by the user. This information concerns for example his work, his family, his friends, his activities, his aspirations, etc. The user chooses some of this information to aggregate it into a profile.
• the document US201 1/0106896 describes a method for sharing aggregated information in profiles in a network and between participants in an event linked to a physical location.
• Each of the participants can subscribe to a social network that becomes a participating subscriber and can then view the profiles of other participating subscribers through a terminal having access to the network.
• his terminal equipped with a location module sends location information to the server of a social network.
• the server detects the presence of the participating subscriber to which it associates information (for example a profile of the subscriber participant registered in the database of the social network).
• the participating subscriber can then consult the list of subscribers participating in the event that is displayed on a screen of his terminal.
• the participating subscriber can then contact another participating subscriber or be contacted by another participating subscriber. Nevertheless, a participating subscriber can define restriction criteria allowing him to restrict the sharing of his profile on the event. For example, the participating subscriber can establish a list of unwanted contacts preventing them from contacting him. He can also establish a list of friends allowing them to have access to a larger set of information about his profile.
• the document WO2012 / 173734 describes a method of sharing information between users of a network service enabling them to interact. Sharing of information is allowed within a "bubble".
• a bubble is created at the request of a alpha user on his terminal to a network service server.
• a physical location corresponding to the location of the alpha user can be associated with the bubble.
• another user enters the physical location, he can request the network service to enter the bubble.
• the physical place can be changed by widening and its center moved according to the locations of the users.
• Each bubble user is identified by a profile.
• the shared information may or may not be relevant to the consulting user who receives it. There is indeed no means of adaptation of the information shared according to the user of this information recipient.
• the user who makes information available to himself can not properly handle the confidentiality of some of this information, or ensure that information with a certain degree of confidentiality will not be disclosed widely but only to certain authorized persons.
• the inventors have thus made the observation that it would be interesting for a publisher user to be able to differentiate the information he shares with others, and to control the provision of this information in an efficient and simple manner.
• An object of the present invention is to overcome at least one disadvantage of the prior art presented above.
• user says publisher, the method being implemented by a server and comprising the following steps:
• each said sharing rule being associated with at least one said subset of information and defined by at least one criterion to be verified in order to authorize a provision of a consultative user of the associated subset of information, said at least one criterion specifying at least one place of publication where the publisher user must be located and / or at least one place of consultation where a consultative user must be located;
• This set of information is for example constituted by a set of information included in one or more profiles constituted for this user relative to one or more services of one or more networks, in particular with respect to one or more services of one or more social networks.
• the set of information available to a user may include, for example, information on one or more aspects of the life of the publishing user, whether private, professional, community, etc.
• One or more subsets may be defined in this set of user information, each corresponding to a facet of that user.
• a facet is thus defined as a subset of a set of information relating to the user. This term “facet” will be repeated in the remainder of this description for ease of reading.
• the control method allows a publisher to share one or more facets with one or more consultancy users.

• access data allowing access to facets we mean either facet information directly, or data that will make it possible to obtain them (for example, to issue a request to obtain them) or to consult them (for example , by means of a URL type access link).
• This provisioning operation is for example a sending of information, or a sending of an access link to this information, or a sending of a notification from which the user consulted will be able to request and obtain a access to this information.
• This operation therefore makes it possible to make the identified subset of information accessible to a consulting user.
• the goal is that the user consultor can consult, if he wishes, the information of the facet.
• a major advantage of the control method is to allow a publisher user to automate by means of rules the sharing of one or more facets defined with respect to a set of information available on that user, conditionally to his own location and / or that of at least one other consulting user likely to consult the facet or facets shared.
• the facet selected at a given moment to be shared with a user consultor may be different depending on the location where the publisher and / or the user is currently located. place where the user is located.
• the relevance of sharing the facet is thus controlled at least through the respective current locations of the publisher and the user consultor.
• the publishing user retains control over the nature of the information made available and the potential consultancy users to whom this information will be communicated.
• the publisher user can choose to communicate only some of his information available on himself, and this to some people only, to keep confidential the other party. It therefore controls the degree of confidentiality of the different subsets of information available on itself.
• the sharing rules therefore serve as rules for controlling access to the information available to the publisher.
• each of the rules specifies the verification or verifications to be performed on the location of the publisher user and / or that of the consulting user relative respectively to a place of publication and / or a place of consultation before authorizing the access to a particular subset of information associated with this rule.
• sharing rules access rules or access control rules to designate these rules.
• the publishing user can differentiate the information he / she shares with others, in particular according to the places, times and / or potential consulting users.
• Such a method of facet sharing is interesting in different situations. For example, with a first configuration of access rules including both a criterion on the place of the publisher user and a criterion on the place of the user consultor, a facet that includes information on professional skills and / or or the professional career of the publisher user will only be shared, that is to say, made available to the consulting user, if the publisher and the consulting user are both on a show gathering companies offering job offers and potential user candidates for these job offers.
• this same facet can be shared with a user consultor as soon as this user consultor will be on this show, even if the publisher user is not there at this time.
• the sharing system selects from the plurality of facets defined for the publisher user, the one or those he wishes to make accessible when he is in a specific place and / or when the potential user (s) is in a specific place.

• This may allow automated entry of a common access rule for several publisher users, for example in the case of a particular event, such as trade show, conference, exhibition, party event, etc.
• said at least one criterion of an access rule specifies at least one time slot outside of or during which access to the subset of said set of information relating to the publisher is prohibited.
