  • Patent number: 7881727
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile communicating object (A) belonging to a communications network and comprising processing means (PM). According to the invention, when a communication has been established with another communicating object (S) belonging to the network, the aforementioned processing means generate a repeater (Fi) at each site (Hi) through which they pass. Moreover, when the repeater is generated, the processing means associate a timing counter (CTF) therewith and configure said repeater such that: (i) it can store an identifier that is representative of the location of the next repeater (F(i+1)) or site (H(i+1)) in the chain of repeaters to which it belongs; and (ii) at the end of a selected duration of time, it transmits the location identifier of the next repeater (F(i+1)) or site (S(i+1)) to at least one location server (SL) in the network, so that it stores said identifier together with the primary identifier of the mobile object (A).

  • Publication number: 20070147277
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing remote method calls in object-oriented languages, by means of an asynchronous communication between a local process of a station and a remote process on another station, such a call comprising a request from one of the processes, followed by a reply from the other process. The method comprises a) detecting the transmission of an empty object as request or reply parameter before the transmission thereof from a local process to a remote process (710), calculating the content of said empty object the provision of which was requested for an expert process, b) processing of said empty object in order to make the content of said object (712) available to the remote process and c) carrying out the transmission of said request, or said reply on condition of appropriate processing.
