Abstract: A method for managing an unallocated telephone number in a communication network, the telephone number being previously allocated to a user of the communication network until a suspension date. The method is implemented by an item of equipment of the network and includes: obtaining information relating to a call set-up request received by the communication network to the telephone number during an observation period of time subsequent to the suspension date; updating, according to the information relating to the call set-up request, information relating to an activity level of the telephone number in the communication network, the information relating to an activity level being representative of a number of requests to set-up a call to the telephone number received by the network for the given observation period and storing in a data table the information relating to an activity level of the telephone number in association with the telephone number.

Abstract: A method for managing a request to pair a first item of equipment with a second item of equipment is implemented by a device for managing a pairing request. The managing device is configured to communicate with the first item of equipment via an optical communication channel. The managing method includes: reception, via the optical communication channel, of a pairing request including data representative of the identity of the first item of equipment; and if the pairing request is authorized, transmission, via the optical communication channel, of a security key to the first item of equipment to be used during communications between the first item of equipment and the second item of equipment once the items of equipment have been paired.

Abstract: A content distribution network is made up of terminals and servers that are connected as a network and cooperate in order to make content or data available to users. In order to be able to control access to the content via certain terminals, a solution called “URL signing” has been discussed. A “URL signing” solution requires establishing an active connection between a terminal requesting content and an originating server associated with the requested content. The solution relates to a method for accessing content implemented by a cache server, thus dispensing with the need for an active connection between a terminal requesting content and the originating server associated with the requested content.

Abstract: A method for zooming an image displayed on a touch-sensitive screen of a mobile terminal. The method includes: measuring the duration of a stationary touch gesture by the user on the touch-sensitive screen; determining a zoom ratio as a function of the measured duration; and displaying on the touch-sensitive screen the image zoomed by the determined zoom ratio.

Abstract: Method for resolving name identifiers. Existing naming identifier resolution solutions give priority to one aspect, performance of a service or protection of privacy, over the other without it being possible to deviate therefrom. This lack of flexibility is detrimental to the user's quality of experience. This also impacts resource management for various communication equipment involved in the resolution of naming identifiers. The proposed solution makes it possible to give priority to performance or respecting privacy on a case-by-case basis. On the basis of an authorization to share a location of the equipment, the resolver gives priority to transmitting either a network address of a server associated with the naming identifier to be resolved requiring location information of the equipment, giving priority to performance, or a network address of a server associated with the naming identifier to be resolved not requiring location information of the equipment, giving priority to respecting privacy.

The first obtaining mode involves decoding an information item representing the synthesis data item from the encoded data stream, the second obtaining mode involves obtaining the synthesis data item from at least the reconstructed encoded image. At least one part of an image of the intermediate view is synthesised from at least the reconstructed encoded image and the synthesis data item obtained by the specified mode.

Abstract: A method for managing an uninterrupted connection of a moving device to at least one attachment entity of at least one operator of a communication network. The method is implemented by a mediation entity capable of communicating with the at least one attachment entity. The method includes receiving a connection request comprising an identifier of the device and information relating to the movement of the device; determining at least one offer of connection to the at least one attachment entity on the basis of a communication feature, with the transmission of a proposal including the at least one determined connection offer. Determining, by the mediation entity, the connection of the device before its movement enables the movement of the device to be correlated with its connection and enables information relating to the operator or else to the mediation entity not to be disclosed.

Abstract: Analytic sensors and methods utilize an attenuated total reflection (ATR) crystal to detect volatile compounds in an arrangement that reduces interference from compounds other than the one of interest. In particular, the components in the measurement stream are limited to those having volatilities close to that of the analyte of interest, which may be identified based on, for example, the temperature of the ATR crystal and the “dwell time”—i.e., an interval of substantially constant temperature as the ATR crystal is heated.

Abstract: A method for allocating resources on an uplink between a user terminal and a base station of a radio communication network multiplexing the data in resource blocks is disclosed. Such a method implements a standard allocation mode associated with a standard transmission mode of transmission by the terminal; and a priority allocation mode associated with a priority mode of transmission by the terminal. The network favors the priority allocation mode and can allocate to the terminal, according to the priority allocation mode, at least one resource block previously allocated according to the standard allocation mode, introducing a situation of allocation collision. In such a situation, the network implements a temporary allocation mode to allocate at least one replacement resource block in the standard transmission mode, implementing a number of signalling portions containing information on resource allocation greater than that used in the standard allocation mode.

Abstract: A method for securing operations is described. In this method a user requests that a service provider device perform an operation, the service provider device transmitting to a certification device a request to validate the requested operation while indicating a key associated with the user. The certification device identifies the user associated with the key and transmits a dynamic code request to the user. A device that generates dynamic codes assigned to the user generates a first version of the dynamic code and transmits it to the certification device, which compares it with a second version of the code in order to decide whether it would or would not be appropriate to inform the service provider device that the requested operation has been validated.

Abstract: A method for migrating a virtualised function from a first server to a second server depending on data of technical environment parameters. The interfaces specified in the virtualised architectures effectively make it possible to deploy and manage virtualised functions with a view to implementing a service but these interfaces do not contain information relating to the data relating to the technical environment upon which the servers, the virtualised functions and subsequently the services and applications that rely on the virtualised functions are dependent. The migration method proposes virtualised architectures that take into consideration the technical environment parameters in order to move virtualised functions whose functioning could be impacted by a malfunction of one or more technical environment parameter(s).
