Abstract: To control the processing of a multimedia object (OM) by a software application (AppL) implemented within a communication device (DC), a control application (AC) implemented in the communication device intercepts a call from the software application to an execution environment (EE) to carry out a basic operation on the multimedia object, the multimedia object being divided into segments each associated with control data (DonC) comprising at least some data from among semantic data (DonSm), sensitivity data (DonSb), and functionality data (DonF), associates transformation parameters (ParT) comprising at least one functionality parameter (ParF) and at least one semantic parameter (ParSm) and one sensitivity parameter (ParSb) with the call, depending upon the context in which the call is executed.

Abstract: A method includes a) in the source domain sending a trusted path computation request to each of the trusted neighboring domains; b) in each trusted downwards neighboring domain, determining whether this latter is the destination domain or not; and if it is not the destination domain, seeking every next trusted downwards neighboring domain and, seeking at least one trusted path segment that can reach a found next trusted downwards neighboring domain, and then forwarding the trusted path computation request to the found next trusted downwards neighboring domain; and re-iterate all the step b. If it is the destination domain, seeking within this destination domain every trusted path segment that can reach the second machine, and, if there is at least one such segment, sending a positive response message; c) when all the trusted downwards neighboring domains have been processed, re-iterate step b for each next trusted downwards neighboring domain.

Abstract: A device (D) is dedicated to the processing of application notifications that must be transmitted to users' communication terminals (TC) via at least one transmission infrastructure (RC).

Abstract: In order to contact a user who owns a mobile terminal (TM), who is the recipient of a call from a calling user's communicating device (DCa) to the mobile terminal and who cannot be reached by means of the mobile terminal over a telecommunications network (RT), a communication server (SC) determines a level of urgency of the call, determines a list of third-party users who may be placed in contact with the calling user, based on the social relationship between the called user and each third-party user, on geolocation data (Dg) related to the called user and related to third-party users, and on the call's level of urgency, and establishes a call between the calling user at least one third-party user on the list.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for selecting a communication mode between a first and a second user of at least one communication network comprising the following steps: receiving a request sent by the first user in order to be placed into communication with the second user, determining available communication modes between the first and second user based on at least one status parameter of the second user deduced from the location of said second user and from an activity associated with that location.

Abstract: A device (D) is dedicated to the processing of application notifications that must be transmitted to users' communication terminals (TC) via at least one transmission infrastructure (RC).

Abstract: A method for automatically managing user notifications in heterogeneous formats within a mobile terminal (10) capable of receiving or generating, as well as displaying, these notifications, which method comprises the following steps: translating each notification received or generated by the mobile terminal into metadata in a single format, saving said translation within a database (2), assessing the priority of said notification based on a combination of priority criteria preset by the user, reorganizing the database (2) containing said notification, based on its priority compared with other translated notifications that have already been saved, displaying the notification on the terminal (10) based on its priority.

Abstract: A method for distributing personalized media elements to media terminals, said method comprising the following operations, carried out within a media server: determining at least one distribution criterion; preselecting a group of media elements that meet the distribution criterion (or criteria); for each media element, defining correlation criteria intrinsic with other media elements by defining metadata characteristic of the content of the media element as well as metadata characteristic of other media elements that may be combined with said media element; selecting from among the preselected group media elements exhibiting an intrinsic correlation with one another; concatenating the selected elements to form at least one eligible sequence; choosing a sequence from among the eligible sequences, distributing the chosen sequence to the media terminals.
