Method for communicating information from radio frequency peripheral identifiers

A method for communicating to a mobile terminal data representing a piece of information associated with a radiofrequency peripheral in an area equipped with a series of radiofrequency peripherals, each radio-frequency peripheral being identified by a unique radio-frequency peripheral identifier which is specific to said radio-frequency peripheral, said mobile terminal executing a primary application and possessing several secondary applications, each uniquely associated with a piece of store chain information in a memory of the mobile terminal, said method comprising at least the steps in which:

• the mobile terminal sets up a communication via radio-frequency with a radio-frequency peripheral,
• the mobile terminal receives from the radio-frequency peripheral the radio-frequency peripheral identifier of said radio-frequency peripheral,
• the primary application generates a primary request including a first characteristic information derived from said radio-frequency peripheral identifier and the mobile terminal emits said primary request to a primary server,
• the mobile terminal receives from the primary server a piece of store chain information in response to the primary request, the first characteristic information being associated with said piece of store chain information in a store information database to which the primary server has access,
• the primary application automatically starts a secondary application upon receipt of the piece of store chain information, said secondary application being uniquely associated with said piece of store chain information in the memory,
• the secondary application generates a secondary request including a second characteristic information derived from said radio-frequency peripheral identifier and the mobile terminal emits said secondary request to a secondary server, said secondary server being selected on the basis of the piece of store chain information, and
• the mobile terminal receives from the secondary server data representing a piece of information associated with said radio-frequency peripheral,
• wherein following the reception by the mobile terminal of the piece of store chain information associated with said first characteristic information in response to the primary request, said mobile terminal directly emits secondary requests including second characteristic information derived from radio-frequency peripheral identifiers to the secondary server for the radio-frequency peripheral identifiers subsequently received by the mobile terminal, and
• wherein the primary application generates another primary request for a given radio-frequency peripheral identifier subsequently received by the mobile terminal only if:
• a determined time period has elapsed since a most recent interaction between the mobile terminal and a primary or secondary server, or
• a prior secondary request has not been satisfied.
