Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing storage of objects such as packages or the like. In particular, in a storage device includes at least one locker having a device for locking/unlocking the locker and a plurality of sensors designed to deliver data specific to the objects deposited in the locker. The method includes: receiving a request to store an object in a locker of the storage device; identifying an object type which matches the object to be stored; according to the object type identified, selecting, from the plurality of locker sensors, a set of sensors to be activated at least while the locker is in use; upon detecting that the locker is in use, activating the selected sensors in order to monitor the storage.

Abstract: One embodiment comprises obtaining an identification of at least one multimedia content and at least one destination user; constructing a message by a challenge definition module installed on a terminal on the basis of at least one interaction with a sender user. The construction may comprise (a) producing metadata defining, in association with the multimedia content, both a challenge for presenting to the destination user and also an expected response to the challenge, the metadata combining the information required for executing the challenge on at least one terminal of the destination user; (b) inserting the metadata and an identifier in the message, the identifier identifying the terminal of the destination user of the message; and (c) using a telecommunications network to send the message and data giving access to the multimedia content to a server for relaying the metadata and the multimedia content to the terminal of the destination user.

Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method of transferring configuration information for a connected object wherein the method is performed by a terminal. The method may comprise detecting a connection of a mass memory on a peripheral connector of the terminal, associating the detected mass memory with at least one item of configuration information for the connected object, obtaining the at least one item of configuration information, and transferring the at least one item of configuration information to the mass memory.
