Abstract: A method of transmitting data streams representing stimuli of at least one particular type, including a first step of setting up transmission of a particular stream Vstr1 from an interface device INFD to a terminal LT1 initially selected as the destination terminal. The method further includes a step of identifying terminals CTj compatible with said particular stream Vstr1; a step of selecting as the new destination terminal LT2 of said particular stream Vstr1 a terminal that has been identified as compatible, and a second step of transmitting said particular stream Vstr1 to the new destination terminal LT2. The method authorizes dynamic control of stream sharing or transfer between two or more terminals with no branch connection between said terminals.

Abstract: A method of updating a user presence status at at least one terminal connected to a telecommunications network, on the basis of presence status information provided by at least one status source of said terminal. The presence status is determined during an aggregation step comprising collecting a plurality of unit presence probability values provided by a plurality of status sources associated with said terminal; and calculating an aggregated presence status probability resulting from a linear combination of said unit presence probability values.

Abstract: A method of processing the presence status of a user at at least one terminal connected to a telecommunications network on the basis of presence status information provided by at least one status source of said terminal. The presence status is weighted as a function of a pertinence value that is calculated as a function of time. The invention makes it possible over time to correct the pertinence of presence information to as maximize the reliability of a presence status calculated on the basis of said information.
