Abstract: Method for managing the load of at least one server able to process the requests sent via a telecommunication network by a plurality of terminals. The method includes the steps of receiving by the server a request originating from a terminal, obtaining an estimation of the load of the server, dispatching to the terminal data intended to bring about the automatic resending by the terminal of the request at a later date, dependent on a forecast relating to the load of the server, the dispatching step being executed when the estimation value is above a threshold value.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for data flow exchange between a client device (3) provided with an Internet file and a server (4) adapted to provide on request from the client device (3), at least a service for transforming said file, the communication between the client (3) and the server (4) being based on a protocol of adaptation of Internet file content of the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (iCAP) type. The device comprises a adaptor (5) of iCAP type data flows into files adapted to be used directly by said server (4) or by said client device (3); the adaptor (5) comprises means for communicating with the client device (3) and the server (4) and configuration file wherein is/are stated the transformation service(s).

Abstract: A method of automatically activating and deactivating a service, comprising the following steps: a) establishing, from a first terminal, a short-range radio detection field for detecting the presence of a second terminal; b) deactivating the service if the second terminal is in the short-range radio detection field; or c) activating the service if the second terminal is not in the short-range radio detection field.
