1. A negotiation method for delivery of a service to a terminal comprising:
sending from a delivery component configured for delivery of said service to said terminal a set of proposals for interactions taken over by the delivery component when delivering said service, the set of proposals being configured to enable said terminal to indicate to said delivery component that said terminal is able to take over at least one proposal from the set of interaction proposals, wherein each proposal of the set describes a list of at least two stimuli that are taken over by the delivery component for delivery of the service to the terminal during a service session, wherein the list of at least two stimuli for each proposal describes a list of interaction commands that have to be sent by the terminal to the delivery component when corresponding interactions are activated by the user through an interaction interface of the terminal, wherein each list of stimuli is different than the lists of stimuli of the other proposals and corresponds to a respective configuration of the interaction interface of the terminal, wherein the delivery component and the terminal are distinct devices, and the act of sending comprises transmitting the set of proposals from the delivery component to the terminal; and receiving at the delivery component an indication from said terminal that said terminal takes over the at least one proposal from the set of interaction proposals, wherein the delivery component is configured to accept an indication comprising more than one of the proposals in the set, the at least one proposal being selected based at least in part on capabilities of the terminal, said delivery component using said received indication to configure itself for delivering said service to said terminal according to the corresponding interaction commands of the at least one proposal.
