Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for recording data on a recording medium. The invention relates to the implementation of the timeshift function in a part of said recording medium called the timeshift buffer memory having a size defined in terms of recording capacity. For the timeshift buffer memory, a first threshold defines a capacity limit, a second threshold defines a recording time limit. The device records the data in the timeshift buffer memory as long as the second threshold is not reached and when the second threshold is reached before the first threshold, the processor truncates the start of the timeshift buffer memory when the data being read are not located at the start of the buffer memory or moves to reading the data of the timeshift buffer memory when the data being read are located at the start of the timeshift buffer memory.

Abstract: A method for accessing data received from at least one server (S1, SN) in response to requests (R1-R4, RN) transmitted thereto from a terminal (T), wherein data interchanges between the server (S1, SN) and the terminal (T) are cumulatively collected and stored. The method further includes sensing each prompt message from the server (S1, SN), selectively storing requests (R1-R4, RN) generated in response to each sensed prompt message, displaying a list (La) of stored requests in an access window (FC, FCa-FCe), unfolding (DL1, DL2) in order to select a request (R1, R2) and access data (A1, A2) received in response to said request (R1, R2), and folding (PL1, PL2) in order to select a request (R1, R2) that was previously unfolded (DL1, DL2), and mask the display of the corresponding data (A1, A2) in the access window (FCc, FCd). The method is useful for providing terminal emulators.
