Abstract

Method to assist the user of a computer system equipped with its own operating system (OS) characterised in that in an overall aid system are grouped together a plurality of specialised service systems (32, 34, 36) interconnected to an interface (30) managing the inputs (in sensor mode) and the outputs (in transmitter mode) between the overall aid system and the computer system. The service systems (32, 34, 36) are interconnected in a star with the interface (30) through a core system (38). The invention also relates to an apparatus for implementing the method defined above. <IMAGE>
