  • Patent number: 11212485
    Abstract: A signaling device able to operate in association with a capturing device able to capture a scene. The signaling device includes: an obtaining module able to obtain a first observation direction from the scene captured by the capturing device, a determining module able to determine a first field of observation associated with the first observation direction, and a signalling module able to signal the first observation field using first signage based on at least one sensorial indicator.

  • Patent number: 10966144
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for managing the connection of a first terminal connected to a first access network accessing a communication network and capable of connecting to a second access network accessing said communication network, implemented by a management module of the communication network, said management module being capable of determining a list of access networks to which the first terminal is likely to connect. After receiving (E209) a piece of connectivity information relative to a second terminal, the management method comprises a step (E210) of updating the list of access networks according to the received connectivity information and a step (E211) of transmitting said updated list to the first terminal such that the first terminal connects (E212) to the second access 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.

  • Patent number: 10143020
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method for establishing communication between at least one calling terminal and one called terminal, implemented by the calling terminal. The method comprises detecting the activation by the calling terminal of a request to establish a communication with the called terminal, obtaining a first piece of communication context information related to the calling terminal, and obtaining at least a second piece of communication context information related to the called terminal. The method also comprises determining a communication service to use in order to establish the requested communication with the called terminal, the determining being carried out from at least the first piece of communication context information and the second piece of communication context information, and sending, to the called terminal, a request for communication according to the determined communication service.

  • Patent number: 10075497
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the use of a data stream transmitted during a communication established between at least a transmitting device and a destination terminal. During a phase for negotiation of the parameters of the data stream of the communication, the method comprises a step of determining at least one rule for the use of the data stream of the communication and a step of inserting the at least one determined use rule into a message for negotiation of the parameters of the data stream of the communication, said message being intended to be transmitted to the destination terminal. The invention also relates to a corresponding device using said method.

  • Publication number: 20160150016
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for communicating between at least a first terminal (T1) and a second terminal (T2). When a user of the first terminal consults at least one multimedia content via an interface associated with the first terminal, information representative of said multimedia content is stored in a first storage space of the first terminal or of a remote server. Following the establishment of the communication (E_COM) between the first terminal and the second terminal, for each multimedia content displayed on the interface associated with the first terminal, the second terminal (E10) receives information representative of the multimedia content comprised in the first storage space, and obtains (E11) said multimedia content, using said received representative information.
