Abstract: A method for communication between a communicating object and a communication device in order to implement a transaction. The method includes, on the communicating object located in an area in which the transaction is implemented, autonomous execution of the following: receiving at least one pairing request from one or more pairing devices associated with the area, when the communicating object has determined at least one item of information in relation to the use context of the communicating object and a location associated with at least one of the pairing devices; and when a pairing device identified in the at least one received pairing request corresponds to the at least one pairing device associated with the area and the location associated with the at least one pairing device corresponds to the location of the communicating object in the area, pairing with the communication device, the communication device being associated with the identified pairing device.

Abstract: A method for transmitting, during an electronic payment made by at least one user, at least one second identifier of the at least one user. The method is implemented by a transmitting device and includes: obtaining at least one first identifier of the at least one user from at least one electronic payment element of the at least one user, the at least one first identifier being used for the electronic payment; generating the at least one second identifier of the user, the second identifier comprising at least one datum and one portion of the at least one first identifier; and when the electronic payment has completed, transmitting the at least one second identifier to a device for managing at least one electronic proof of purchase.

Abstract: A communication system for remote collaborative creation of a final multimedia content produced from a plurality of individual multimedia contents. The system comprises a module for generating a scenario for said final multimedia content, said scenario having a tree structure including at least one multimedia sequence, a plurality of terminals each adapted to send an individual multimedia content having multimedia data and metadata including an indicator relating to a multimedia sequence to which said individual multimedia content relates, and a server for producing said final multimedia content by processing the individual multimedia contents sent by the terminals in accordance with said tree structure and in accordance with a given editing rule. Application to telecommunications and audiovisual activities.

Abstract: Data are transmitted to a television receiver by creating audiovisual stimuli and a video message that convey these stimuli, has an identifier of its recipient, and is in the form of a stream of digital data. The stream of digital data is converted into an analogue signal which is compatible with a predefined input format for the television receiver. As a result an individual can transmit, to a recipient of his choice, a text message with which there has been previously associated audiovisual stimuli which are specifically and expressly intended for the recipient.

Abstract: A control device employing a remote switch, intended to ensure activation and de-activation of electrical devices in accordance with a plurality of pre-established control functions, from different control members. Each of the control members is constituted by a single electrical contactor adapted to produce, when acted on by the user, a train of electric pulses. The control device includes elements for counting the number of electric pulses produced. The number of pulses counted controls the electric devices depending on the control function which is associated with this number of pulses.
