Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système utilisateur de service (100) dans lequel les services fournis par un serveur fournisseur de service (101) sont utilisés par des appareils utilisateurs de service (102) conformément à un contrat prédéterminé. Selon le contrat prédéterminé, le système utilisateur de service (100) acquiert des informations de détermination afin de déterminer, parmi les services utilisés par un appareil utilisateur de service (102a), un service recommandé à recommander à un autre appareil utilisateur de service (102b), puis il sort les informations de détermination obtenues de telle sorte que l'autre appareil utilisateur de service (102b) peut utiliser provisoirement les informations de détermination sorties et ce, même s'il ne les a pas entrées dans le contrat prédéterminé. Ensuite, l'autre appareil utilisateur de service (102b) se sert du service recommandé déterminé par l'utilisation des informations de détermination sorties.
