  • Patent number: 8650412
    Abstract: A method for managing execution by a processor of a software architecture included in a radiocommunication circuit is provided. The software architecture includes a radiocommunication software stack and at least one client application. The has the following steps, for a given frequency of the processor: a) obtaining a first computing power associated with the stack; b) obtaining a second computing power associated with the at least one client application; c) computing the sum of the first and second computing powers; d) comparing the sum with a predetermined threshold; e) detecting, based on the result of the comparison step, that the second computing power is insufficient for the processor to execute the at least one client application; and f) in the case of positive detection, restraining at least one functionality of the stack.

  • Patent number: 8644825
    Abstract: A method is provided for definitive customization or customization for a predetermined duration related to a subscription of a radio communication terminal possessing an operating mode requiring the association with the terminal of a customization data set specific to a radio communication network, so as to allow the terminal to be linked with the radio communication network. The method includes the following steps: obtaining carrier information pertaining to carriers received by the terminal; and selecting a customization data set for the terminal, from a plurality of customization data sets, as a function of a selection criterion applied to the carrier information obtained.

  • Patent number: 8195235
    Abstract: A method is provided for customizing a radio communication terminal possessing an operating mode requiring first customization data so as to allow a first radio communication link with a radio communication network. The method includes the following steps: placing the terminal in an actual usage condition, not including the first customization data; transmitting the first customization data from a customization device to the radio communication terminal, via a second link distinct from the first link.

  • Publication number: 20100122263
    Abstract: A method of managing processor usage time includes: associating each application with a slice of the processor time and with a first or second class; and managing the processor time as a function of the processor time slices and classes. The processor time slice associated with an application of the first class is reserved for the application even if the application does not use it fully. An application of the second class has priority for using the processor during its associated time slice, wherein if part of the associated time slice is not used by the application, the unused part may be used by another application of the second class, the application being able to use more than its associated time slice by using an unused part of a time slice associated with another application of the second class or a part of a time slice associated with no application.

  • Publication number: 20100064062
    Abstract: A method is provided for the control of an electronic radio communication module using a first device. The method includes a step of detection by a second device of the available control interface(s) of the module, the second device being the same as or separate from the first device. The detection step includes a step in which the second device obtains a description file containing the available control interface/s of the module. The description file is a WSDL file describing the available control interface(s) of the module in the form of at least one Web service hosted by the module. The Web service can be described, in the WSDL file, by reusing the AT command syntax.

  • Patent number: 7653382
    Abstract: The invention concerns a radiocommunication module, of the type hosting and executing a main software providing in particular radiocommunication functions and comprising means for executing drive controls, sent to it by at least a driver client software. The invention is characterised in that the radiocommunication module further hosts and executes at least a client software comprising a main client application and at least a secondary (slave) client application. The processing operations carried out by the onboard client software are distributed between the main and secondary client applications.

  • Patent number: 7454198
    Abstract: The invention concerns a radiocommunication module, of the type hosting and executing a main software providing in particular radiocommunication functions. The main software comprises means for executing drive controls, sent to the main software and belonging to a predetermined set of drive controls. The invention is characterised in that the radiocommunication module further hosts and executes at least a client software, called onboard client software. The onboard client software and the main software comprise means enabling the onboard client software acts at least as one of the following: a driver client software, sending drive controls to the main software, and receiving from the main software responses, resulting from the execution of some of the drive controls; a supervising client software, managing the execution if the drive controls sent by a driver client software, called external client software, hosted and executed by a third party equipment co-operating with the radiocommunication module.
