Abstract: A method for configuring an electronic device connected to a communications network is implemented in the electronic device. The method includes: obtaining at least one item of contextual information relating to the environment of the electronic device, and setting at least one configuration parameter of the electronic device to a value that depends on the at least one obtained item of contextual information.

Abstract: A method for locating sensors situated in a geographical area including of at least one reference sub-area. the sensors include: at least one first sensor, each first sensor being associated with a reference sub-area in which it is situated; and at least one second sensor, each second sensor not being associated with any sub-area. The method includes: grouping the sensors into a plurality of groups based on data from the sensors; for at least one group of sensors, determining whether the group includes a first sensor; an if the group includes a first sensor, associating each second sensor of the group with the sub-area corresponding to the first sensor.

Abstract: A method for transmitting data collected by at least one sensor to a monitoring device. The method includes, upon acquisition of a new piece of data by the at least one sensor, acts of calculating a deviation indicator indicating a deviation between the value of the new piece of data and a value predicted for this piece of data by a prediction model representative of previously acquired data, and transmitting the new piece of data to the monitoring device when the deviation indicator is higher than a threshold. Also provided are a monitoring method on a monitoring device, a terminal implementing the transmission method and a server implementing the monitoring method.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for locating the positions of sensors of a network of sensors suitable for communicating with one another by radio connection. The method is suitable for receiving, from sensors of the network of sensors, measurements of relative distances between sensors of the network; for calculating a topology for the network of sensors from the received distance measurements, the topology comprising nodes representative of sensors of the network of sensors; and for determining absolute positions for the sensors by anchoring the calculated topology in an absolute frame of reference on the basis of constraints associated with an environment plan of the network of sensors. The invention also provides a locating device implementing the management method.
