Abstract: A method of controlling playback by a TV decoder module of a media stream on at least one device connected to the TV decoder. The method is performed by a home gateway connected to the TV decoder and a telephone control module. The telephone control module controls at least one telephone handset, wherein, in the event of the telephone control module receiving a telephone call, the home gateway determines whether there is proximity between the telephone handset and a device connected to the TV decoder, and if there is proximity, sends a first message to the TV decoder, the first message including an instruction to record the media stream being played back.

Abstract: A device is provided to access the Internet via a mobile communication network, including a data processing module arranged in a casing and a flexible cable extending outside the casing and connected to the data processing module. The cable ends in a connector for connection of the device to an item of equipment. The casing includes at least one main engagement element for the connector. The casing is configured so that when the connector is engaged in the main engagement element, the cable forms a loop defining a space between the casing and the cable to hang the device.

Abstract: A technique for processing display data on a screen for a navigational aid between a current position point and a destination point by comparing the distance from the current position with a threshold distance, processing display data, controlling a command of the display on the screen, respectively from the bottom to the top of the screen: a first 3-D representation, according to a perspective defined with a first angle of view in relation to a selected plane, of a panorama separated from the current position point by a distance that is less than said threshold distance; and a second representation, according to a perspective defined with a second angle of view in relation to said selected plane, of a panorama separated from the current position point by a distance that is greater than said threshold distance, the first angle being smaller than the second angle.

Abstract: This apparatus comprises a melody generator (19) known as synthesizer. This synthesizer allows working with a multitude of channels C1, C2, . . . C9 and at least one of these channels is assigned to process vocal signals particularly coming from a microphone (17). The elaborated melody may be sent to different correspondents by using the functionalities of the transmission method for the apparatus, for example, SMS, electronic mail, etc.
