  • Patent number: 11115441
    Abstract: A method and a proxy server for selecting an input server of an IMS communication network in order to register a terminal in the IMS communication network. Following receipt from the terminal of an SIP registration message, the proxy server obtains a value of at least one field of the SIP registration message, the field being representative of a characteristic belonging to the terminal, and selects an input server using the at least one value obtained. Then, the proxy server sends, to the terminal, an SIP redirection message including an IP address of the selected input server.

  • Publication number: 20210274040
    Abstract: A method for filtering an original communication, being generated by a caller device toward a called device, and identified by an uncertified caller identity and by at least one certified caller identity. The method includes: verifying a condition satisfied if the uncertified caller identity and the at least one certified caller identity are different; and if the condition is satisfied, detecting expiry of a waiting duration following the verification, this duration being equivalent to the duration of at least one ring; and following the expiry and if no message is detected indicating the end of the original communication, presenting to the called device the original communication with at least one caller identity from among the uncertified caller identity and the at least one certified caller identity, the original communication not being presented to the called device before the detection.

  • Publication number: 20210044643
    Abstract: A method is provided for managing a plurality of media flows to be reproduced by a calling device prior to the finalization of the establishment of a communication. The method is implemented by the calling device prior to the finalization of the communication. The method includes sending a request for the creation of the communication to at least one called device. For each media stream of the plurality of media streams, a first degree of priority associated with the media stream is searched for in a message received in response to the request for creation of the communication. A media stream to be played is selected from the plurality of media streams, according to second degrees of priority associated with the media streams of the plurality of media streams, the second degrees of priority obtained according to the result of the search.

  • Publication number: 20200389504
    Abstract: A method for processing an incoming call to a called terminal in a telecommunications network, implemented by a TAS server in an IMS network. The method includes: interrogating an SDM entity to determine whether the service profile of the user associated with the called terminal contains IN terminating service information; interrogating an SDM entity to determine whether the routing domain to be used to route the call to the called terminal is a circuit or packet type; if the routing domain is a packet type, determining whether the called terminal is effectively reachable in packet mode, and if applicable, via which type of access network; if the service profile contains IN terminating information, allowing the IN terminating service provided for the user of the called terminal to be distinguished according to the type of access network of the called terminal; and routing the call to the called terminal.

  • Publication number: 20200389782
    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.

  • Patent number: 10863342
    Abstract: A device for processing a signaling message related to a communication service provided to a client device via a communication network. When the client device is connected via an access network operating in circuit mode, the device translates a first signaling message for the circuit mode into a second signaling message suitable for being carried over the access network operating in packet mode, and vice versa. When the client device is connected via the access network operating in packet mode, the processing device receives from the client device a third signaling message suitable for being carried over the access network operating in packet mode and sends the third signaling message to a server of the communication network subsystem, and vice versa, and replaces in the received third signaling message a source address, including an address of the client device, with an address of the processing device.

  • Patent number: 10834052
    Abstract: A monitoring method implemented by an access point for a network that can maintain an address association table is described. The method can include selecting at least two entries in the address association table, storing at least one predetermined characteristic obtained over a predefined period of time for each inflow and each outflow associated with the selected entries, and comparing, for at least one pair of selected entries, at least one stored characteristic for an inflow associated with one of the entries of the pair with the at least one corresponding stored characteristic for an outflow associated with the other entry of the pair. If, for at least one pair of entries, the comparison step indicates that an inflow associated with one of the entries of the pair transports an application content of the same nature as an outflow associated with the other entry of the pair, a risk of fraud can be detected.

  • Patent number: 10623558
    Abstract: A method is described for enhancing, by a device of a first telecommunications network, a communication signal transmitted by a first user of the first network intended for a second user of a second network. The method includes verifying, using a certified identifier of the first user determined by the first network, whether the first user belongs to a predetermined or given category of users. Upon determining that the first user belongs to the given category of users piece of certification information is inserted, for the attention of the second user in a field of the communication signal controlled by the first network, the certification information indicating that the first user belongs to the given category of users. The communication signal is then transferred to the second network.

  • Patent number: 10554481
    Abstract: A method for locating a quality of service problem implemented on a terminal during a multi-media session between two terminals over a communication network, which includes at least one media gateway that is able to retransmit media data packets without particular processing according to a “router mode” of management. The terminals obtain a first quality of service data item relating to the multi-media session. Following a change in the mode of management to a “relay mode” in which the multi-media session initially established between the terminals is split into two separate multi-media sessions, it includes: obtaining of a second quality of service data item relating to one of the two multi-media sessions established following the change in the mode of management of the media gateway; comparing the first and second quality of service data items; and locating the quality of service problem depending on the result of the comparison.
