Abstract: The invention relates to locating mobile terminals comprising a plurality of recording servers, adapted to communicate with recorded mobile terminals, for communication relays, with the recording servers communicating between them and with location servers via an extended network and organized in a hierarchical tree of parent servers and child servers. Each location server comprises a database of mobile terminals constituted of a plurality of mobile terminal records, each of said mobile terminal records comprising address data of a mobile terminal recorded with a descending recording server of said location server in the hierarchical tree.

Abstract: The invention relates to the management of the wait for a notification of an acknowledgment of receipt M_AR, used by a first terminal T1 that has sent a multimedia message MM to a second terminal T2. Said management involves a method in which the terminal T1 measures a period of waiting for the notification of acknowledgment of receipt M_AR of the multimedia message MM sent to the terminal T2. If the waiting period exceeds a predetermined threshold, the terminal T generates a text message M_SMS for notifying the availability of the multimedia message MM, to be sent the terminal T2. The method provides the deletion of text messages M_SMS received by the terminal T2, when they are duplicates of the multimedia messages MM. The invention further claims a computer system and program for implementing the method. Said management is particularly useful in instant messaging.
