Abstract: A method for connecting a terminal to a telecommunication network via an access point. After a request to connect a terminal to a first access point, the first access point determines if it has access to a resource for serving the terminal and, if possible, serves the terminal. If not, the first access point requests, from at least one second access point to which is it connected, a resource for serving the terminal; and in the event that the resource is available to the second access point, the first access point transfers, to the terminal, data for enabling the terminal to connect to the second access point.

Abstract: A terminal (10) that comprises: a screen (SCR) on which graphics objects can be displayed that are suitable for being selected by a pointer device (PTR); a video projector (30) suitable for projecting an image (IM) on a remote screen (RSCR); and means for incorporating a projected graphics object (RPTR) in the projected image (IM) and representative of a pointer referred to as a “remote” pointer. The screen of the terminal includes a zone (DZ), with interaction between the pointer device (PTR) and the zone (DZ) serving to control the remote pointer (RPTR) in the projected image (IM).

Abstract: The invention is intended to co-ordinate telecommunication services (2) provided to users by means of terminals (3, 4, 5) which are connected to different telecommunication networks (1). For said purpose, the invention comprises the following steps: a service mediation server (10) co-ordinates different telecommunication services activated by users; the terminals (3, 4, 5) connect to the server and transmit users profiles thereto, said profiles specifying availability modes, activate the profiles and availability modes and access the connected services; and the service mediation server determines a reachability state for each user, which is dependent on at least one user terminal being connected to the server and the active availability mode and profile of the user, and transmits said state to the connected user terminals specified in a list of contacts in the active profile of the user.

Abstract: A system for supplying digital multimedia documents via a telecommunications network. The system includes document server means (10) adapted to stream digital multimedia documents to user terminals (30) connected to the network (20) and each comprising a playback interface (32) adapted to play digital multimedia documents in real time.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method which consists in introducing for each registered user a profile comprising filtering and agenda data, determining and updating an accessibility status of each registered user terminal (10, 11), depending on whether the latter is accessible or not through a network, and following a call by a caller to the registered user: determining an availability status of the called user depending on whether the caller is authorized to communicate with the called party on the basis of the called party's profile data, and an identification of the caller, if the called party is not accessible or does not authorize the caller to complete his call, proposing to the caller to be automatically put through to the called party, when the latter will be accessible and available for the caller, if the latter agrees, triggering an automatic recall procedure enabling to put through the caller's call (17) to the called party.
