  • Patent number: 11968331
    Abstract: Methods and devices for establishing a communication between a first and a second terminal are described. The disclosed technology can be implemented in or by a server or a terminal in communication with the server. The first terminal can to the server, using a first calling identity, a request including connection information and an identifier of the first terminal. Using the identifier, the server can obtain from a database a pair of calling identities including one certified and one non-certified, the pair comprising the first calling identity and a second calling identity. The server can determine, from one of the calling identities and from the connection information, a connectivity mode of the terminal, and determine a routable number on which the terminal can send a communication to the server. The server can route the communication towards the second terminal by presenting a calling identity of the pair and sending the routable number to the first terminal.

  • Patent number: 11706187
    Abstract: A method for processing a request for anonymisation of a source IP address of an IP packet is described, the IP packet being transmitted by a transmitting device to a recipient device via a communications network, the transmitting device being connected to the network via a network terminal apparatus. The method is carried out by an anonymisation device positioned for cutting the flow between the network terminal apparatus and the recipient device, and comprises receiving the packet; establishing whether the source IP address has to be anonymised or not; if a result of the verification is negative, routing the packet to the recipient device; if the result of the verification is positive and if the anonymisation device has an address translation function: replacing the source IP address with an IP address of the anonymisation device; and.

  • Patent number: 11184758
    Abstract: A method for managing user service profiles by an entity for managing the profiles of user services in a nominal network, before dispatching to a third-party entity a service profile of a the user. The method includes determining whether the third-party entity is in a visited network different from the nominal network; if so, determining, on the basis of the service profile of the user recorded in the profiles management entity, if the user has at least one mark associated with an IN originating service; if so, checking to determine whether there exists an intelligent network agreement between an operator of the nominal network and an operator of the visited network and if relevant the nature of the agreement; and dispatching, to the third-party entity, a service profile of the user determined as a function of a type of the service and of the result of the checking.
