Method for controlling the execution of a program configurable into a disabled state and enabled state

Computer program product comprising code instructions for execution of a method for controlling execution of a program by a terminal (1) comprising a screen (12), when this program product is executed by at least one processor (10), wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• configuring the program into:
• an enabled state, wherein at least one process of the program is allowed to be executed by the terminal (1), and
• a disabled state, wherein execution of any process of the program by the terminal (1) is forbidden,
• wherein the method further comprises the steps of:
• displaying (100) on the screen (12) an icon (G) for starting the program according to a first rendering if the program is configured in the enabled state,
• displaying (114) said icon (G) according to a second rendering different from the first rendering if the program is configured in the disabled state.

Terminal (1) comprising:

• a screen (12),
• a memory (16) storing a computer program,
• at least one processor (10) for executing the program, said processor (10) being configured to configure alternately the program into:
• an enabled state, wherein at least one process of the program is allowed to be executed by the processor (10),
• a disabled state, wherein execution of any process of the program by the processor (10) is forbidden,
• wherein the terminal (1) is characterized in that the processor is further configured to:
• display on the screen (12) an icon (G) for starting the program according to a first rendering if the program is configured in the enabled state,
• display said icon (G) according to a second rendering different from the first rendering if the program is configured in the disabled state.
