Patent number: 11445064Abstract: A method for establishing a second communication according to a second modality on based on a first communication established according to a first modality between a communication terminal and an interactive server, the server reacting, according to a predefined logic, to commands received from the terminal, the logic being predefined by states and by conditions of transitions between the states. The method includes the server: obtaining a command for establishing a second communication according to a second modality; storing a context representative of interactions taken place between the terminal and the server in the course of the first communication in association with a public identity, the context including a state occupied by the server in the course of the first communication; establishing the second communication according to the second modality toward a recipient terminal designated by the stored public identity; and configuring the second communication based on the stored context.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2018Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: ORANGEInventors: Francois Toutain, Emmanuel Le Huerou, Eric Beaufils

Publication number: 20170318153Abstract: A communication method between a terminal transmitting a communication request and a receiving terminal is disclosed. The method includes the receiving terminal receiving the communication request, the communication request including a proposed communication mode for the requested communication. After a user interaction carried out on the receiving terminal indicating the selection of another communication mode different from the proposed communication mode, an acceptance message is sent to the transmitting terminal, the acceptance message including the other selected communication mode. After sending the acceptance message, the display of a display device associated with the receiving terminal is modified such that a communication interface relative to said other communication mode is displayed. Communication between the receiving terminal and the transmitting terminal then occurs according to the other communication mode, via the communication interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2015Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Emmanuel Le Huerou, Nathalie Begoc Becam, Eric Beaufils, Francois Toutain
