Abstract

La présente invention concerne des procédés et un appareil destinés à obtenir des informations et à présenter des informations. Un appareil (200) de présentation d’informations intègre des premières données comprenant un premier programme et au moins un paramètre associé à un deuxième programme dans un contenu d’origine pour former un contenu d’origine comprenant les premières données. Après avoir obtenu le contenu d’origine, un appareil (100) d’obtention d’informations obtient les premières données issues du contenu d’origine de telle sorte que le premier programme et le paramètre associé au deuxième programme soient obtenus. Les informations liées au paramètre sont obtenues en exécutant le premier programme afin de déclencher l’exécution du deuxième programme et en prenant le paramètre comme entrée. Les procédés et l’appareil selon la présente invention permettent d’étendre sensiblement les fonctionnalités d’un dispositif portable visant à obtenir des informations, sans qu’un utilisateur doive effectuer une saisie compliquée, c’est-à-dire que l’utilisateur est en mesure d’obtenir une grande quantité d’informations sans aucune opération ou par quelques opérations simples consistant par exemple à cliquer sur des boutons tels que "Confirmer", "Oui", "Non".
