Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de déclenchement pour un processus de charge. Dans le procédé, une réponse de succès est réalisée sur un message de demande ou un message de rapport de correspondance envoyé par un équipement d'utilisateur, le type du message de demande étant déterminé selon un rôle autorisé après que l'équipement d'utilisateur a subi un traitement d'autorisation de service. Un processus de charge hors ligne est déclenché selon le message de demande ou le message de rapport de correspondance. De cette façon, la présente invention met en œuvre pratiquement une charge de découverte directe de l'équipement d'utilisateur.
