Abstract: Method for activating predefined functions, implemented in a host appliance integrating or linked to a wireless charging device, and including the steps of: detecting that a mobile appliance has just been positioned on a reception surface of the wireless charging device in order to be recharged; following the detection that the mobile appliance has just been positioned on the reception surface, activating or deactivating at least one predefined first function performed by the host appliance, in addition to recharging the mobile appliance; then, detecting that the mobile appliance has just been moved away from the reception surface; following the detection that the mobile appliance has just been moved away from the reception surface, activating or deactivating at least one predefined second function performed by the host appliance.

Abstract: A securing method in a computing or communication network, the method making it possible to isolate a station connected to a wireless communication device of the network and identified as not complying with the security requirements defined for the network. The isolation of the connected station is performed automatically by a connection to a quarantine zone of the network, excluded from a so-called trusted zone. The device identified as not complying with the security requirements can, for example, access a wide-area network, such as the internet, but cannot access a secure local network.

Abstract: In the context of an execution of a pairing phase for pairing at least one communication device with a wireless access point creating a plurality of cells in distinct respective spectral bands, the wireless access point: obtains a sequencing of the cells created by the access point according to a criterion of occupation of the spectral bands; and activates a systematic authorisation of pairing via each cell during a first predefined duration, of any communication device that so requests, starting from the cell in the least occupied spectral band up to the cell in the most occupied spectral band according to the sequencing obtained, applying a shift in time of a second predefined duration that is at least equal to a period of time statistically necessary for the communication device to effect the pairing with the wireless access point and which is strictly less than said first predefined period.

Abstract: A method for creating a supplementary subflow as a supplement to a subflow existing in a multipath network connection using a transport protocol suited to a multipath communication mode. The multipath network connection is implemented in a network comprising a source using said multipath network connection for communicating with a receiver via an intermediate network component. Following an opening of an intermediate communication path between the intermediate network component and the receiver, said intermediate network component implements the following steps: obtaining a packet intended for the source; creating a header representing a request to create said supplementary data packet subflow, the supplementary data packet subflow being intended to use the intermediate communication link; inserting said header in said packet; and transmitting said packet to the source so as to cause the initiation, by the source, of a procedure for creating said supplementary data packet subflow.
