Abstract

The method for managing a set (100) of communicating objects (101), which are distributed such that each object (101) in the set (100) is neighboring at least one other object (101) in said set (100) so as to form a pair of neighboring objects that are capable of communicating with one another, has the following steps: activation (E1) of an initial object (101a) chosen among the objects (101) in the set (100); propagation (E2), from the activated initial object (101a), of a signal to each of the other objects in the set, said propagation being configured such that each of said other objects in the set has received, at the end of the step of propagation (E2), said signal from at least one neighboring object belonging to said set at least once.
