Abstract: A method is provided of controlling the setting of at least one audio and/or video parameter of a terminal which is able to render an audio and/or video content. The method can include, for an audio and/or video content to be rendered, the reception of an audio and/or video signal corresponding to said content. In a manner synchronized with the rendition of the content by the terminal, the method can include analyzing at least one characteristic of the audio and/or video signal received, and setting at least one audio and/or video parameter of the terminal as a function of the analyzed characteristic.

Abstract: A method for accessing a plurality of contents by using at least one piece of information representing at least one content selected by the user, called a reference content. The method includes the following acts implemented by a processor: rendering a plurality of pieces of metadata of said reference content, receiving a query for a selection, in said plurality, of at least one piece of metadata, called a sought piece of metadata, determining at least one resultant content, having an intensity level of said at least one sought piece of metadata, and rendering at least one piece of information representing said at least one resultant content.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of locating an object, comprising a step of locating an object and a step of verifying the existence of a pre-established connection between the location of the object and at least one place associated with the object. In the affirmative, a step of providing an information item dependent on at least one place resulting from the verification step.

Abstract: A method of dynamically evaluating the mood of a user of an electronic messaging system who uses a terminal to send an electronic message addressed to another user, the sending user having an element representative of that user's mood that is visible to the addressee of the message, and in general manner, by all of the contacts of the sending user. The sent message transits via a platform that includes a module for evaluating the mood of users, which module modifies a parameter measuring the mood of the user sending the message as a function of at least one predetermined criterion present in the sent message. The modified parameter is notified to the addressees of the message and to all or some of the contacts of the sending user.
