Abstract: A communication device can have a peer-to-peer communication application installed on it. The device can be configured to detect at least one other communication device including the peer-to-peer communication application, and may be configured to set up a connection with the detected communication device. The device can be configured to, in response to a request to set up peer-to-peer communication sent to the first device on a predetermined port and via a predetermined protocol by a second detected device exchange with the second device information required for setting up peer-to-peer communication with the second device, and to set up the peer-to-peer communication. The peer-to-peer communication application can be configured to send, on the predetermined port and via the predetermined protocol a request to set up peer-to-peer communication to a third detected communication device.

Abstract: A method implemented by a first node of an ad hoc network, including maintaining a routing table containing at least one route available within the network having at least one segment directly linking two nodes of the network by a connectivity link having a type identified in the table, and for each node of a segment, an indication concerning its degree of mobility. The table is maintained based on information extracted from control messages emitted over the network and intended for or traveling through the first node. The method includes: upon sending a data message from the first node to a second node: identifying, by using the table, at least one route between the first and second nodes; and determining a level of stability of each route based on the degree of mobility of the nodes and on the type of connectivity links; and selecting the most stable route.

Abstract: A multimedia flow marking device. The device is configured to perform acts including: after receiving a multimedia flow generated by a computer application executed by the device, identifying the computer application by using an application identifier; consulting a database indicating which computer applications should be subjected to a marking and what the computer application/marking value pairs are; and packaging the multimedia flow in the form of data packets marked as a result. Application for web browsers for personal computers, and operating systems for mobile terminals or connected objects.

Abstract: A management unit for managing a channel in a telecommunications network includes a registering section configured to define and register a visibility attribute associated with a first channel, belonging to a first session, for accessing a service in the telecommunications network. A receiving section is configured to receive a request to obtain information on the first channel from a second channel. The second channel belongs to the first session or a second session for accessing the service. A sending section is configured to determine and send a response to the request to obtain information on the first channel, taking into account the visibility attribute associated with the first channel, and further taking into account whether the second channel belongs to the first session or the second session.

Abstract: In this method for controlling an interactive dialog, the platform sends the application server intermediate requests comprising data representative of a part only of the interaction between the user and the terminal, prior to the end of the interaction, to which the application server responds via intermediate responses. This method therefore anticipates the complete user input and offers a faster and more interactive service.

Abstract: A unit (20) for managing a telecommunications network (1) includes means (16) for registering a visibility attribute associated with this channel; means (14) for receiving a request to obtain information on a channel; and means (14) for sending a response to this request taking into account the visibility attribute associated with said channel.

Abstract: The invention concerns a management process of voice production activity of a person-machine interaction system with voice component, consisting especially of detecting and capturing external acoustic activity originating from an agent external to the system, and analyzing the semantic contents of any statement optionally included in the external acoustic activity. The inventive process includes measuring of an overlap period of the external acoustic activity and of the voice production of the system, a process for inhibiting any interruption of the voice production of the system for as long as the duration of the overlap period remains less than a limited predetermined duration, and an interruption process of the voice production of the system in the case where, simultaneously, the external acoustic activity is assimilable to voice activity and where the duration of the overlap period attains or exceeds the limited duration.

Abstract: A voice application system includes elements for acquiring at least one phrase spoken by at least one user connected to semantic analysis element including members for recognizing keywords belonging to the phrase stated and capable of generating an ordered list of keywords, called a listing, for the phrase spoken, the recognition members being connected to elements providing an association in the form of rules between at least one predetermined keyword and a specific action and elements for selecting at least one particular action when a set of keywords included in the corresponding rule are present in the phrase stated. The selection elements run through the set of rules for the purposes of identification and for each given rule search for the presence of a set of keywords for that rule in the phrase stated in order to select the corresponding specific action relating to the rule so determined and identified.
