Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for communicating between at least a first terminal (15) and a second terminal (12), a first communication session (S1) having previously been established by the first terminal, and first drawing data intended to be transmitted to the second terminal having been generated (E206) by at least the first terminal. When the second terminal is not available to participate in the first communication session, the communication method stores (E209) said first drawing data in a communication device. After the end of said first communication session, the communication device sends (E215) an invitation message to the second terminal inviting it to participate in a second communication session (S2) and transmits (E219) said first drawing data to the second terminal during the second communication session.

Abstract: The invention relates to a technique for forwarding data packets by a gateway device (11). The gateway device ensures an interconnection between the client entities (20, 21) of a local network (4) and a communication network (1), that is to say forwards packets received from a client entity to the communication network by means of a nominal interface and vice versa. The gateway device identifies at least one device (10, 30), termed the relay device, accessible by means of a second interface and able to play a role of relay to forward packets exchanged between a client entity and the communication network. When a packet indicating that a session is initiated is received from a client entity, the gateway device forwards the packets of the session by means of the second interface, when a forwarding selection criterion is satisfied, or by means of the nominal interface in the converse case.

Abstract: In a device that is both NFC-enabled and trusted execution environment (TEE)-enabled, and has a secure element (SE), a host card emulation (HCE) based software application acts as a front-end/proxy and processes non-sensitive security functions, while a trusted application in the TEE and an applet on the SE cooperate to process security-sensitive functions. An end-to-end security relationship may be established between a subscriber identity module (SIM), the TEE and a SAM (Secure Authentication Module) provided for a second NFC-enabled device (e.g. a contactless reader) that communicates with the first device in a contactless manner. The solution integrates HCE, TEE, SE and SAM for enabling secure contactless applications, and it also supports advanced security measures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for combining a plurality of audio streams encoded by frequency sub-band encoding, comprising the following steps: decoding (E301) a portion of the encoded streams over at least one frequency sub-band; combining (E302) the streams thus encoded to form a mixed stream; selecting (E303), from among the plurality of encoded audio streams, at least one encoded replication stream, over at least one frequency sub-band that is different from that of the decoding step. The method is such that the selection of the at least one encoded replication stream is carried out according to a criterion which takes into consideration the presence of a predetermined frequency band in the encoded stream (E304). The invention also relates to a device which implements the described method and can be integrated into a conference bridge, a communication terminal or a communication gateway.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for qualifying an alarm among the alarms stemming from a first supervision system supervising the activity of an individual, the system being adapted to compute an activity index that is representative of the activity of the individual, alarms being triggered by the supervision system in the event of a drift in the activity index, a drift corresponding to a difference in the value of the index in relation to a reference value, the method being such that it is implemented in a management server connected to at least one second supervision system, and that it has, on reception of an alarm triggered by the first supervision system, steps of obtainment of a drift in the activity index of the at least one second supervision system, comparison of the drift in the activity index of the first supervision system and a value that is representative of the drift in the activity index of the at least one second system, and qualification of the alarm according to the result of the comparison

Abstract: A method of emulating a multipath connection, in which data packets sent or received by a given user equipment are intercepted by a plurality of concentrators situated in at least one network to which the user equipment is connected. Each concentrator serves to aggregate connections making use of a plurality of paths that can be used by the user equipment. One of the concentrators is designated in dynamic manner as being “primary” concentrator, and the other concentrator(s) are designated as being “secondary” concentrator(s). The primary concentrator or a secondary concentrator: a) receives a data packet sent by the user equipment to a correspondent; b) when necessary, removes all of the multipath options from the received packet; c) replaces the source address of the received packet with an address of the primary concentrator; and d) sends the packet as modified in this way to the correspondent.
