Abstract: A method for transmitting information is proposed, enabling a synchronization of applicative clocks signals between a transmission device and at least one reception device connected to a communications network. For each stream of a source application, the transmission device: writes to a buffer memory associated with the stream, at the rate of a source applicative clock, pieces of applicative data of the stream coming from the source application, transmits, via the network, pieces of applicative data of the stream at the rate of the network clock.

Abstract: A method for managing bandwidth in a synchronous communications network including a plurality of nodes, the network implementing a first clocking which defines a data-processing cycle including a determined number of virtual channels, the data-processing cycle being defined by a current data-processing frequency, the plurality of nodes including at least one transmitter node associated with at least one generator application, each generator application being associated with at least one virtual channel for transmitting its data, the virtual channel or channels associated with a given generator application being filled one by one from the first to a last virtual channel. Such a method includes the following steps performed for a given generator application: determining a rate of use of the last virtual channel of the set of virtual channels; adjusting the current data-processing frequency; and allocating an integer number of virtual channels.

Abstract: A method for the management of commands coming from a remote-control device in a communications network comprising a plurality of devices comprises the following steps implemented in a control device connected to a display device: the reception of a first predetermined command signal for the execution of a function to be applied to the multimedia content displayed on the display device and coming from a source device for which a connection with the display device is set up; the determining of the source device in the communications network; the verification of the function-executing capacity of the source device; in the event of positive verification, the sending of the command for execution of the function to the source device; in the event of negative verification, the determining of at least one device of the network capable of executing the function; and the selection of a device of the network to execute the function.

Abstract: A method of navigation in at least one graphic user interface coming from a device included in a communications network comprising a plurality of devices, comprises the following steps implemented in a controller connected to a display device: the detection of a first navigation command signal coming from a remote-control unit and associated with a function; the verification of the display, on the display device, of at least one graphic user interface of the controller in which navigation functions are applicable; in the event of positive verification: the application by the controller of the function associated with the first navigation command signal; in the event of negative verification: the determining of the source device for which a connection with the display device is set up; and the transfer to the source device of at least one piece of information enabling the source device to apply the associated function to the first navigation command signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for communicating audiovisual signals over a communication network interconnecting a plurality of devices, wherein the method comprising the steps of: selecting an audiovisual signal at a first device; transmitting an indication message from the first device to a group of devices over the communication network, said indication message containing a set of parameters associated to the selected audiovisual signal; selecting a second device among the group of devices, said selection being performed at said second device; and establishing a connection for retrieving at the selected second device the audiovisual signal using at least one of the set of parameters.
