Abstract

A terminal and a method for a terminal using services offered by a master station is proposed. The method allows a user-configured service to be activated at a terminal which is limited in its input possibility. In this context, a first terminal transmits activation data to the master station over a first data network. With the assistance of the activation data, a service identification and a terminal identifier are transmitted to the master station. In the master station, a service is selected as a function of the service identification. The master station transmits service data corresponding to the selected service as a function of the terminal identifier so that the service data is recognized by the first terminal upon reception and initiates functions for implementing the selected service at the first terminal.
