  • Patent number: 7543737
    Abstract: This invention relates to a device for recharging a contactless smart card (1) including a recharge kiosk (2) that can have an identifier specific to it and capable of communicating with a contactless smart card (1), a mobile terminal (3) provided with a recharge management program (33) capable of communicating with a recharge server (4) through any type of communication means, means of payment through a communication network and an identity module, and a recharge server (4), characterised in that the mobile terminal (3) includes shape reading means (31) for acquisition of the identifier of the kiosk (2), and its corresponding recharge method.

  • Publication number: 20050270994
    Abstract: So as to limit the resources required by the mass broadcasting of multimedia messages, a multimedia content is identified by a service identifier. In the MMS-C server responsible for the broadcasting, this service identifier is associated with a certain number of multimedia messages preformatted as a function of a type of terminal. The requests for retrieval of the content therefore relate to a service identifier and a type of terminal instead of a URL of a message. Thus excessive communications between providers of contents and telephony operators are avoided. The excessive replication of a multimedia message on an MMS-C platform is also avoided.

  • Patent number: 6885871
    Abstract: A method for the addressing of a mobile terminal including existing capacities, the SIP protocol (126a), address translation, (126d), short messages (126b) and TCP (126c) are used implement a resolution server (119) capable of engaging in dialog with a caller set (101), a called mobile terminal (108) and a gateway (128) having to be parameterized to set up a connection between the coller set and the mobile telephone through the internet network (106). The resolution server accepts connection invitations according to the SIP protocol. These invitation are transmitted, after the resolution of the SIP address, at the mobile terminal in the form of a short message. The mobile terminal accepts or rejects the connection request. Ion the event acceptance, the mobile terminal makes a request for the allocation of communications means to the gateway. These allocated means re notified to the caller set through the resolution server.

  • Publication number: 20040157584
    Abstract: The method for establishing and managing a trust relationship between an identification module and a radio terminal comprises a terminal authentication step by said identification module done by using authentication means such as a key, said authentication means being provided to at least said identification module by a mobile radio-telephony network at the time of an initialization step or the like or at the time of a so-called updating.

  • Publication number: 20040047332
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and a system for subscription sharing between a plurality of radiotelephone terminals (20a to 20e), with a unique telephone number associated with the plurality of terminals. In particular, the process is characterised in that it includes a first step wherein a manager shares out a period of access to a radiotelephony network, under the subscription, into time slots and wherein the manager allocates specific time slots to each terminal (20a to 20e), the time slots allocated to the different terminals (20a to 20e) not overlapping, a second step wherein the time slots specific to each terminal (20a to 20e) are transmitted (53a, 53b) from one or more synchronisation servers (1) to each terminal (20a to 20e), and a third step wherein the specific time slots are stored in the memory of each terminal (20a to 20e) to which said time slots have been allocated. The invention also relates to a system allowing the process to be implemented.
