A method for interfacing a communication terminal () connected to a communication network () with object devices (), comprising the steps of: &#x2014;determining required services of an application executable from the communication terminal, &#x2014;determining services provided by a plurality of objects devices connected to the communication network (), &#x2014;comparing the required services to the provided services so as to determine a missing service required by the application, &#x2014;determining an upgradable object device among the plurality of object devices for a missing service, the upgradable object device belonging to an object type having a hardware capability () associated to said missing service, &#x2014;searching a software resource repository () for a software module adapted so as to be downloaded to the upgradable object device to enable the upgradable object device to provide the missing service, &#x2014;triggering a transfer of the software module from the software resource database to the upgradable object device.

Method for automatically interfacing a communication terminal with objects

A device for interacting with at least one augmented object, where the augmented object comprises a physical object and an associated virtual object, said virtual object comprising at least one service definition element, where it is possible to connect to the augmented object via a first means of communication, said device comprising: A means of video capture, A user terminal, An automatic means of identifying the augmented object, A means of communication, capable of establishing a connection between the device and the identified augmented object, and to recover said service definition elements, A means of defining a control interface for the services of the identified augmented object according to said service definition elements, A reader, capable of reading the commands, in relation to said control interface, A means of communication, to transmit said commands to the augmented object for execution.
