  • Patent number: 9349358
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing a number R greater than or equal to 1 of multimedia peripherals (6) of a portable communication device with an audio file (1), comprising the steps of extracting a number P greater than or equal to 1 of basic synchronization signals (SYNCi) according to a first sat of parameters (20); generating, from said P basic synchronization signals, a number Q greater than or equal to 1 of synchronization command signals (COMk) according to a second set of parameters (30) defining rules to convert basic synchronization signals into signals adapted to the type of peripheral to be synchronized; and selecting, among said Q synchronization commend signals, R synchronization signals (PSYNCk) for controlling R peripheral drivers (5) driving said R multimedia peripherals (40), according to a third set of parameters (40).

  • Publication number: 20020111177
    Abstract: The message is transmitted over a telecommunication network between a sender terminal and a receiver terminal. In the method according to the invention, a data structure is constructed in which the icons are associated with a sequence of words for managing the animation of the icons, including a first type of word defining an icon display time and a second type of word defining a cross-reference to a selected icon defined in the data structure; the sequence is then executed so that the display time of a selected icon is imposed by the last word of the first type that precedes the word of the second type cross-referencing the selected icon.
