Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour transmettre une session de jeu récréatif entre des unités client (C21, C22) dans un système de jeu récréatif sur serveur qui comprend une unité Serveur (SE) et au moins deux unités client (C21, C22). Des liaisons (KV1, KV2) sont établies entre l'unité serveur (SE) et au moins deux unités client (C21, C22) par le biais d'un réseau de communication (KN). Pour une session de jeu récréatif en cours qui est distribuée sur une première unité client (C21) du système de jeu récréatif sur serveur, des données spécifiques d'utilisateur stockées centralement sont vérifiées (1) et un identifiant (ID1) de la première unité client (C21) est mémorisé (2) auprès des données spécifiques d'utilisateur. Si, pendant la session de jeu récréatif en cours, un transfert sur une seconde unité client (C22) du système de jeu récréatif sur serveur est requis, l'identifiant (ID1) de la première unité client (C21) s'affiche (3). L'identifiant (ID2) de la première unité client est introduit (4) sur la seconde unité client (C22). Depuis la seconde unité client (C22), une liaison de communication (KV2) est établie vers l'unité Serveur (SE), un identifiant (ID2) de la seconde unité client (C22) est envoyé à l'unité serveur (SE) et est mémorisé (5) auprès des données spécifiques d'utilisateur. Après l'établissement de la liaison de communication (KV2) entre la seconde unité client (C22) et l'unité serveur (SE), la session de jeu récréatif est distribuée (6) sur la seconde unité client (C22) et l'identifiant (ID1) de la première unité client (C21) est effacé des données spécifiques d'utilisateur. Ensuite, la liaison de communication (KV1) de l'unité serveur (SE) vers la première unité client (C21) est supprimée et la première unité client (C21) est libérée (7). La session de jeu récréatif peut alors être poursuivie sans discontinuité avec le même statut sur la seconde unité client (C22).
