Abstract: A method for managing the use of the functions of a watch including a step of authenticating the wearer of the watch in order to authorize access to the functions, and a step of controlling the identity of the wearer of the watch at a determined period by verifying the validity of a digital identification element determined from at least one biometric information element of the wearer, and a step of unlocking access to the functions of the watch when this access has been locked, the step including the following sub steps: presentation of a graphic representation on an interface for broadcasting a visual piece of information of the watch; selection within a limited time interval of a sequence of at least two identification portions comprised in the graphic representation aiming at identifying the wearer, the sequence corresponding to an identification code of the wearer, and validation of the selected sequence.

Abstract: In a method for monitoring or tracking between mobile devices of a same group, mobile devices broadcast messages in broadcast mode over a radio interface in compliance with a short-range digital communication protocol. The messages can be received by all other mobile devices in the vicinity and can communicate according to the protocol. The messages include encrypted data encrypted using at least one identifier of the emitter device and a seed intended for single use or having a short period of validity. The encrypted data can only be decrypted by a limited group of devices. The mobile devices receive messages broadcast by other devices and decrypt the messages intended for a group to which they belong. If the protocol provides that the message includes an address field of the emitter device, this field is filled with a randomised address intended for single use or having a short period of use.

Abstract: A method for facial authentication of a wearer of a watch includes: initiating an authentication process including detecting at least one triggering movement/gesture carried out by the wearer; capturing at least one sequence of images relative to the face of the wearer pivoting from one direction to another in front of the optical sensor; acquiring surface geometric data of the face associated with each image of at least one sequence; generating a three-dimensional model of the face of the wearer from at least one captured sequence of images and from the acquired geometric data; determining an identification index generated based on identification data relative to a plurality of features characteristic of the face of the wearer of the watch detected on the basis of the three-dimensional model, and identifying the wearer if the identification index is greater than a reference identification index.

Abstract: A method for securely connecting a watch to a remote server of a service provider including the following steps: authenticating the wearer of the watch authorizing access to use the functions of this watch, and selecting one of the functions from an input interface of the watch aiming at establishing a connection between the watch and the remote server; identifying the wearer of the watch from at least one biometric information element included in a portion of this wearer's skin; transmitting to the remote server an authentication element relating to the selected function once the wearer is identified, and carrying out an authentication of the wearer by the remote server from the authentication element in order to authorize an exchange of data between the watch and this remote server.

Abstract: A method controls access to at least one confidential data access to which by a function of a watch requires an identification of its wearer. The method includes authenticating the wearer of the watch to authorise access to the functions of this watch, selecting one of the functions of the watch requiring the use of at least one of the confidential or general data archived in the memory element, determining the category to which the at least one data required by the function belongs, verifying the identity of the wearer of the watch from at least one biometric information element comprised within a portion of the skin of this wearer when the at least one data is the confidential data, and authorizing use of the at least one confidential data by the function as soon as the identity of the wearer of the watch is verified.

Abstract: A method controls access to at least one confidential datum archived in a memory element of a watch. The memory element includes general data and confidential data, the access to which by a function of the watch requires the wearer of the watch to be identified. The method includes authenticating the wearer to grant access to the functions of the watch, selecting one of the functions of the watch requiring the use of at least one of the confidential data or general data archived in the memory element, determining the category to which the at least one datum required by the function belongs, verifying the identity of the wearer based on an interaction between the wearer and a graphical representation included in the watch, and authorizing use of the at least one confidential datum by the function when the identity of the wearer has been verified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing a display interface formed of a plurality of display screens (3) of smartwatches (1) worn on parts of the body of users, which parts are capable of moving or are moving, said watches (1) being located in proximity of one another, the method comprising the following steps: estimating (10) at least one broadcasting property of each display screen (3) in said display interface which they form together, and managing the display (15) of a visual message on said display interface comprising a substep (18) of generating portions of said visual message as a function of measurement data relating to at least one broadcasting property, each portion being intended to be displayed on the screen (3) of each smartwatch (1); broadcasting (19) portions of said message on each screen (3) constituting this display interface.
