Abstract: The invention relates to a personal token running a series of applications, wherein said personal token includes a thread controller which transmits data from the applications to an external device in a cyclic way, a cycle being constituted of a series of data transfers from the applications and to the external device, a cycle comprising a respective number of data transfers dedicated to each respective application which is different according to the respective application, the number of data transfers for a respective application in a cycle corresponding to a priority level of the application as taken into account by the thread controller.

Abstract: The invention is a method of detecting a TV off event happening on a mobile terminal equipment which is assumed to receive a broadcast service. A portable electronic device is connected to the mobile terminal equipment and, the mobile terminal equipment sends periodic commands to the portable electronic device. The mobile terminal equipment sends control messages to the portable electronic device. The control messages are related to the broadcast service. The method includes the steps of identifying a duration either according to receipt of two periodic commands of a first type or according to data contained in control messages, and identifying the TV off event if no control message has been received during that duration.

Abstract: A first information communicating server has a predetermined first communication network address. A communicating device stores the first communication network address. A first terminal sends successively to the first information transmitting medium at least two predetermined first information items. The first information transmitting medium transmits one of the at least two first information items at a time. A second terminal receives from the communicating device the first communication network address. The second terminal sends to the first information communicating server a request for communicating at least one predetermined second information item. The first information communicating server retrieves at least one predetermined second information item associated with the currently transmitted first information item and the first information communicating server sends to the second terminal the at least one second information item.
