Abstract: The method for assigning a tag (T) with an action for a network device (N) within a network comprising a management server (M), a control device (S) and the network device reads the tag with the control device; the tag transmitting a unique tag ID and a URL to the control device. The control device (S) reads the URL and connects with the management server (M), in case the tag has no action assigned, an action to be performed by the network device (N) is selected for the tag from a list on the control device, the management server is informed about the selected action. The management server stores the selected action in a memory of the management server, and the control device communicates with the network device (N) to inform the network device (N) to perform the action.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for locating a first mobile terminal, the method including obtaining of at least one route of the first mobile terminal, defined by at least: a departure point, representative of a geographical location of the first mobile terminal; an arrival point, representative of a determined geographical location. According to at least one embodiment, the obtaining includes at least: an establishment of a communication between the first terminal and a second terminal, at an instant which is a function of a determined timestamp; a provision of the geographical location of the first terminal and/or a geographical location of the second terminal during the communication. The present disclosure also relates to the corresponding terminals, vehicles, computer program product and storage media.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling digital rights of the “Play N times” type for a digital audio and/or video content, referred to as controlled content, the controlled content being consumed by a consumer on a consuming device or on another device delegating the controlling of these rights to the consuming device. According to this method, charging of one additional usage is inhibited in at least one of the following cases where: the consumer momentarily consumes another content, on the same device where the controlled content is consumed, and then returns to the controlled content; the consumer effects a pause in the usage of the controlled content; the consumer performs a fast-forward of the controlled content; or the consumer performs a rewind of the controlled content.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for controlling digital rights of the “Play N times” type for a digital audio and/or video content (132), referred to as controlled content (132), the controlled content being consumed by a consumer on a consuming device (112) or on another device delegating the controlling of these rights to the consuming device. According to the invention, such a process is characterized in that charging of one additional usage is inhibited in at least one of the following cases where: the consumer momentarily consumes another content, on the same device (112) where the controlled content (132) is consumed, and then returns to the controlled content (132), the consumer effects a pause in the usage of the controlled content (132), the consumer performs a fast-forward of the controlled content (132), the consumer performs a rewind of the controlled content (132).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a plurality of appliances in a home network, in which each appliance in the network has an associated descriptor comprising information for controlling the appliance. A control device for controlling the plurality of appliances includes a microprocessor for loading and processing descriptors associated with the appliances and a graphics generator for generating a display of markup language pages or page parts based on the descriptor information. The control device uses descriptors of a plurality of appliances to aggregate appliance control functions of the same type for a plurality of appliances in order to display aggregated functions on a single page.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of establishing a connection between an receiver device and an interactive services server, characterized in that it comprises the steps, at the level of the said receiver device of:
