  • Patent number: 8893234
    Abstract: A method of securing access to a near-field communication module (30) included in a terminal (10) comprising a security device (20) adapted to be blocked remotely and including a security component (32) connected to wireless communication means (33, 34). The method includes a step of storing security data in the security device (20) and a step of authentication of the security device (20) by the security component (32) of the near-field communication module (30) as a function of the security data stored in the security device (20).

  • Patent number: 8364203
    Abstract: A contact allocation method for a subscriber smart card (300) in a mobile terminal (100) fitted with said card, the mobile terminal including at least first and second electronic modules (130, 140) suitable for communicating with the subscriber smart card (300) using respective first and second communications protocols. To enable the way in which the contacts of the subscriber smart card (300) are allocated to be managed dynamically, the card is connected to the first and to the second electronic modules (130, 140) in alternation by selectively connecting at least one contact (C4) of said card to the first or to the second electronic module (130, 140).

  • Patent number: 8001234
    Abstract: The invention is intended to co-ordinate telecommunication services (2) provided to users by means of terminals (3, 4, 5) which are connected to different telecommunication networks (1). For said purpose, the invention comprises the following steps: a service mediation server (10) co-ordinates different telecommunication services activated by users; the terminals (3, 4, 5) connect to the server and transmit users profiles thereto, said profiles specifying availability modes, activate the profiles and availability modes and access the connected services; and the service mediation server determines a reachability state for each user, which is dependent on at least one user terminal being connected to the server and the active availability mode and profile of the user, and transmits said state to the connected user terminals specified in a list of contacts in the active profile of the user.

  • Patent number: 7477732
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method which consists in introducing for each registered user a profile comprising filtering and agenda data, determining and updating an accessibility status of each registered user terminal (10, 11), depending on whether the latter is accessible or not through a network, and following a call by a caller to the registered user: determining an availability status of the called user depending on whether the caller is authorized to communicate with the called party on the basis of the called party's profile data, and an identification of the caller, if the called party is not accessible or does not authorize the caller to complete his call, proposing to the caller to be automatically put through to the called party, when the latter will be accessible and available for the caller, if the latter agrees, triggering an automatic recall procedure enabling to put through the caller's call (17) to the called party.
