The method includes sending a first request for setting up a communications session between the application instance and the called entity, the first request being formulated in a first protocol; receiving a response indicating that it is not possible to route the first request, and sending a second request for setting up the communications session formulated in a second protocol.

Abstract: A method for communicating between a caller entity and an instance of an application downloaded onto a user terminal and designed to be connected to a connection server. The method including obtaining an instance identifier of the application instance comprising a first and a second identifier, the second identifier being a pointer toward a host server and the first identifier representing the instance within the host server, and transmitting a notification destined for the application instance via the instance identifier.

Abstract: A particulate composition comprising SiO2 and MgO is provided, which composition is characterized by a bimodal particle size distribution. The particulate composition provides unexpected benefits in particular as a paint additive, in terms of improved optical as well as physical characteristics for the paint product.

Abstract: A management method for managing an identity of a first user during communication between a first web browser installed on a communication terminal of the first user and a second web browser installed on a communication terminal of a second user is disclosed. The method includes the first user obtaining at least one first data item characteristic of the second user. The method also includes associating an identity of the first user with the at least one first data item characteristic of the second user. The method also includes making the identity of the first user associated with the at least one first characteristic data item available to the second user on condition that the second user holds at least one second data item corresponding to the first data item characteristic of the second user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for communicating between a caller entity (EN) and an instance of an application (W1) downloaded onto a user terminal (TA) and designed to be connected to a connection server (SC1). According to the invention, the method of communication is designed to obtain an instance identifier of said application instance comprising a first and a second identifier, the second identifier being a pointer toward a host server (SC1) and the first identifier representing said instance within said host server, and to transmit a notification destined for the application instance (W1) by means of said instance identifier obtained. The invention also relates to a connection method designed to order, following the reception of a request for establishment of a connection originating from an instance of an application downloaded onto a terminal of a user, a determination of an application instance identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of initializing a communications session between a plurality of terminals. According to the invention, the initialization method is adapted, as a function of capacity data for at least one terminal, to determine a set of at least one stream transmission channel to be set up between entities of a group of entities comprising said terminals, each channel being for setting up between a first entity and a second entity of the group either directly, or indirectly via at least one third entity of said group, and to transmit at least one entity identifier to at least one first entity of the group in order to set up at least one channel of the set. The invention also relates to a method of accessing a communications session, the method being adapted to receive at least one identifier of at least one entity with which at least one channel is to be set up and to set up at least one channel with at least one entity for which said at least one identifier has been received.

Abstract: A method is provided for accessing, via a communication network, data stored in a storage module and concerning at least one user, in particular an identifier enabling the user to be contacted subsequently. The method includes: a) transmitting elements characterizing a user of at least one probe terminal and determined based on traces of communications of the probe terminal with at least one server of the network; b) determining, based on the characterizing elements, a determined profile characteristic pertaining to the user; c) storing the determined profile characteristic in the storing module; d) creating a list of users including, associated with each of the users, at least one identifier for which the profile characteristic stored at step c) corresponds to at least one profile characteristic defined in a request transmitted by a requesting user terminal; and e) transmitting to the requesting user terminal the list created at step d).

Abstract: Process for managing calls to users of telecommunication networks, comprising the steps during which: the users each enter at least one call routing rule associating at least one condition applied to an incoming call characteristic with a routing action for the incoming call; a call routing server receives and determines the characteristics of an incoming call and the rules to be applied to it, and applies the determined rules to identify the actions to be performed; if several alternative actions are obtained by implementing the rules determined for the incoming call, the call routing server transmits notification of an incoming call to the called user indicating the alternative actions; the called user transmits indication of the alternative action chosen by the called user to the server; and the server processes the call by executing the alternative action chosen by the called user.
