  • Patent number: 11316596
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting at least one compromised computer device in an information system, the method including: performing a frequency scan involving dividing the electromagnetic spectrum into frequency sub-bands; performing, in each frequency sub-band, a time envelope demodulation in order to recover signals transmitted by at least one computer device of the information system; converting each demodulated signal in the frequency domain; constructing a frequency spectrum on the basis of the demodulated signals in all the frequency sub-bands; finding, in each frequency sub-band of the frequency spectrum, at least one amplitude line having energy that is greater than a first predefined energy threshold; and, if at least one line having energy that is greater than the first predefined energy threshold is found, indicating the presence of at least one compromised computer device transmitting compromising spurious signals.

  • Patent number: 10531096
    Abstract: Decoder, system and method for decoding multimedia data at the level of a terminal by managing the energy available for decoding comprising a decoder of the multimedia data, characterized in that said decoder comprises at least one low-consumption decoding chain comprising an activation module suitable for activating a first low-consumption decoding chain or loop filter and a low-consumption interpolation chain as a function of at least one parameter representative of constraints of user energy and/or of the mobile terminal and of one or more metadata Md associated with a decoding complexity and/or with a decoding energy.

  • Patent number: 9888314
    Abstract: A device has a standard female audio connector that is capable of receiving four-pole male connectors and three-pole male connectors and implements: means (CTRL, VCC, S1) for selectively transmitting a DC power supply signal via a first pin (DP1) of said connector; means (CTRL, ANC) for selectively activating a cancellation mechanism for ambient noise from digital audio signals that are intended to be received, via the first pin, in a manner superimposed on said DC power supply signal; means (CTRL, MIF) for selectively transmitting via a second pin of said connector, in a manner superimposed on said audio signals, a timing clock that is intended for digital microphones (DML, DMR) or other sensors; means (CTRL) for configuring itself vis-à-vis the DC power supply signal, the ambient noise cancellation mechanism and the timing clock, according to a determined type of listening device that is effectively connected via said connector.

  • Publication number: 20160007113
    Abstract: An audio system comprises an audio producing device and a headphone or a headset. The audio producing device transmits to the headphone or the headset left and right analog signals intended respectively for left or right analog speakers, and transmits to the headphone or the headset a power supply signal. The headphone or the headset comprises at least one digital microphone and means for superimposing digital data, resulting from sound captures performed by each digital microphone, on top of said left analog signal or on top of said right analog signal or on top of said power supply signal. The audio producing device further comprises means for separating the digital data from said left analog signal or from said right analog signal or from said power supply signal for further processing by the audio producing device. The audio producing device further comprises means for superimposing a clock signal intended to drive each digital microphone on top of said left and/or right analog signal.
