Abstract
A method for associating a communicating object with at least one user. A remote server receives a signal requesting an association between an user identifier and an object identifier. The server verifies an authorization for the association between the object identifier and the user identifier, including verification of whether or not there is pre-existing association of the object identifier with at least one other user identifier. If association is authorized, the object identifier is associated with the user identifier in a database which can be accessed by the remote server. The database includes at least one user identifier list and one object identifier list.
