  • Patent number: 8780894
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system enabling IP (internet protocol) services for user terminals based on SIP (session initiation protocol) signaling applicable in fixed and mobile terminals (1) of user (2) provided with means of access to an IP network (5) connected to an IMS network (6) communicating with other terminals (1) of user (2) or other services (3). It comprises a communications interface (15) connecting an application processor (7) with at least one access module (26-34) connected to an SIP signaling module (10) for the interaction of the application processor (7) by means of events with other terminals (1) of user (2) and with services (3). It comprises an event dispatcher module (19) receiving the produced events and in which the processor (7) loads filtration criteria of the events required by each application, to send each received event to the applications (8) requiring it.

  • Patent number: 8229358
    Abstract: Identification, authentication, and coverage control method implemented in a system including a central entity, a network of beacons, and a set of terminals, where each terminal is a device adhered to a beacon. The method includes defining a profile for each terminal, the profile including a coverage control service and a service connection authentication service, each service having an exclusive identifier. The coverage control service is connected when a beacon detects a device and the device is indentified as a terminal of the system. A service connection of the device is authenticated based on messages exchanged between the device and the beacon. If the authentication is positive, the device is allowed to adhere to the beacon and if the authentication is negative, the device is indentified as belonging to the system by not adhered to the beacon.
