Method for the management of virtual objects corresponding to real objects, corresponding system and computer program product

Abstract

A method for managing virtual objects (O) corresponding to real objects (R), said virtual objects (O) comprising a set (OP) of information or data representing said real object (R), said virtual objects (0) residing in a management system (20), which comprises a computer system (21) accessible by user terminals (13) through a telecommunication network to enable operations to be carried out on said virtual objects (O) in a database (22a) in said computer system (21), said method comprising the operations of: generating (100), in response to a request of a requesting subject (C) to create one or more virtual objects (O) that represent respective real objects (R), corresponding unique identifier codes (Z, zx, c, i) that enable a user terminal (13) to carry out operations on the respective virtual object (O). According to the invention, said unique identifier codes (zx, c, i) enable a user terminal (13) to carry out a procedure of activation of the respective virtual object (O) by associating in the database (22a) comprised in said computer system (21) a unique identifier code (Z, (Z, zx, c, i) to a first basic set (BP) of information supplied by said owning subject (C) at the moment of the request, said identifier code (zx, c, i) being calculated on the basis of: a first value (X) identifying a class to which the virtual object belongs (O); a second value (C) identifying said requesting subject; and a third value (i) representing a label that identifies said virtual object (0) in said class (X).
