Disclosed is a method of regionalizing a product for specific markets for the purposes of language localization, insuring compliance with local laws and standards, or theft prevention. The method is applicable to goods comprising an initially-sold machine or device (110) and consumable items (120) required by the machine or device. The method comprises regionalizing the consumable items (120); the first-installed consumable used in the machine or device (110) then causes the machine or device (110) to be regionalized, such that the machine or device (110) subsequently only accepts consumables (120) with the same regionalization. Also disclosed are apparatus to implement the method.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant la régionalisation d'un produit destiné à des marchés spécifiques, aux fins d'une localisation linguistique, assurant le respect des lois et des normes locales ou la prévention du vol. Ce procédé peut être appliqué à des biens, notamment à une machine ou un dispositif (110) initialement vendu et à des consommables (120) nécessaires à cette machine ou à ce dispositif. Ce procédé consiste à régionaliser ces consommables (120); le consommable installé en premier et utilisé dans la machine ou le dispositif (110) provoque ensuite la régionalisation de la machine ou du dispositif (110), de sorte que cette machine ou ce dispositif (110) n'accepte plus, par la suite, que des consommables (120) de même régionalisation. L'invention concerne également des appareils permettant de mettre en oeuvre ce procédé.
