Abstract: A multimedia data organization process, i.e. creation, of a photo album or slideshow, said multimedia data being represented by contingent individuals (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f) of an instantiated ontology that in addition to generic individuals (EC, C, F, M, T, A) comprises semantic links between individuals, comprising: —the presentation to the user of the choice of at least one individual from the instantiated ontology, and in response to a user-prompted choice, —the selection and organization of a subset of multimedia data corresponding to the contingent individuals of the instantiated ontology according to at least one selection and/or organization rule engaging the user-chosen individual and the related semantic links.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of annotation of images captured by a digital camera equipped with a previewing means, comprising: the supply with the camera of an operating mode enabling a user to select one image (12) to be annotated, and to capture at least one additional previewed image; the automatic extraction (20) of an annotation (A) from the additional image; and the creation (22) of a new image by combining the annotation (A) and the image to be annotated (12), while respecting, in the new image, a location and enlargement ratio of the annotation virtually identical to those of the annotation in the additional image.

Abstract: A method of distributing multimedia data from a central distribution station to local equipment including: linking one image characteristic (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48) with at least one set of multimedia data stored by the central distribution station respectively; making available to at least one user of a support (10) having at least one selection image (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) in response to the capture of at least one image of the support by the local equipment, and calculating a characteristic of the captured image; searching for a multimedia data set of the central station linked to the image characteristic closest to the characteristic calculated; transferring of the corresponding multimedia data to the local equipment.

Abstract: The invention is in the technological field of imaging. The invention relates more specifically to a colximunication method between at least two terminals (10A, 10B), and based on the sending from a first terminal (10A) to at least one second terminal (10B) of a multimedia message comprising a programming agent (36), consisting in automatically starting, using the programming agent, the establishment of a phone link between the first terminal (10A) and the at least one second terminal (10B). The programming agent also starts automatically, on the second terminal (10B), the formation of a multimedia message intended to be sent automatically to the first terminal (10A). The invention is preferably implemented in networks that require the use of mobile terminals.
