Abstract

A method for controlling the sequence of a plurality of functions which are executable on at least two interacting devices is provided, first of the functions being implemented on a first device and the second of the functions being implemented on a second device. A system for implementing the method is provided, including an administrative unit which controls a sequence of the functions in such a manner that it prevents a first function and a second function which interfere with one another from simultaneously running.
