Abstract

L'invention concerne un service supplémentaire de communication mobile et, en particulier, un service de contenu personnalisé tel que la personnalisation de l'aspect et de la convivialité (LFC, Look and Feel Customization). L'invention définit, dans la visualisation d'un état montrant une utilisation d'un terminal, un état de prévisualisation (désigné sous le nom d'état de prévisualisation) d'un autre contenu personnalisé tandis qu'un contenu personnalisé spécifique (par exemple, un contenu LFC) est exécuté (activé). Le terminal peut, en conséquence, utiliser de manière adaptée le service de contenu personnalisé à l'aide de l'état de prévisualisation défini, améliorant ainsi l'efficacité des ressources du terminal.
