  • Patent number: 11411909
    Abstract: A message treatment process executed by a user's terminal when a message is being drafted is disclosed. The terminal has access to a corpus of messages containing at least one message sent by that user to at least one recipient user.

  • Patent number: 11055422
    Abstract: A method for sharing a digital image between a first user terminal and at least one second user terminal over a communications network. The method includes: displaying on the second terminal a “degraded image”, the degraded image being obtained from a “first image” by digital processing of the first image, the digital processing visually concealing content of the first image; and following detection of an interaction of a user with the screen of the second terminal: defining a zone of interaction of the degraded image depending on the location of the interaction on the screen; obtaining a portion of the first image corresponding to the determined zone of the degraded image; and displaying on the screen of the second terminal the portion of the first image in the place of the corresponding area of the degraded image, throughout the duration of the interaction of the user with the screen.

  • Patent number: 11054968
    Abstract: A method of managing a plurality of messages simultaneously, each message having at least one destination, is disclosed. In one aspect, each of the messages is capable of being edited in a selected input zone dedicated to that message, where each of the zones are shown as being a portion of a common container. The management of one of the messages includes dynamically creating an input zone associated with the message in the container, selecting the created zone, and editing the message in the selected zone, where sending the message to its at least one destination causes the content of the selected zone containing the message to be deleted without having any effect on the content(s) of one or more input zones dedicated to other messages.

  • Patent number: 10572097
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a processing method for processing messages exchanged between a first user and at least one second user, the method comprising detecting a first message being composed by a first user in a message composition window displayed on a screen of a terminal of the first user. The method may also comprise detecting during this composition the arrival of a second message for the first user and coming from at least one second user; and, in response to this detection, interrupting the composition of the first message, with input by the first user in the composition window following this interruption leading to a third message being created. The method may comprise displaying the first message and the second message on the screen of the terminal, each message being displayed outside the composition window in association with at least one predetermined action that can be confirmed by the first user.
