Abstract: A communication method comprising the following operations: taking a shot, by a mobile terminal (2), in the environment of the terminal (2); analyzing the shot to detect the presence therein of an object; when an object has been identified by its image, identifying at least one place associated with said object; taking into account the location of the terminal; selecting a place associated with the object based on said location; displaying on the terminal at least one place and piece of information associated with the object.

Abstract: A method for reordering and multiplexing multimedia packets from multimedia data streams (S0, S1, . . . SN) pertaining to interrelated sessions includes a step of searching within the packets of a stream having the highest frame rate amongst said multimedia streams, for a common timing variable (TS) of the packet associated with the next frame of said multimedia data, in a predetermined order related to the encoding process with which said data were encoded, and a step of providing the packets in said predetermined order across said sessions in the order of the session interdependency. A device for performing this method is disclosed as well.

Abstract: A network management system for implementing a service on a network acquires policy rules for configuring the service, determines commands corresponding to the policy rules and transmits them to network elements, and infers the rules in order to determine the commands. The rules comprise services rules and implementation rules.

Abstract: A communication method comprising the display, on a communication mobile terminal (2) equipped with a camera, a rich video comprising a real filmed scene in which are imbedded additional visual elements connected with said scene, within which video enrichment operations are carried out within a remote communication system (3) and are rendered on the mobile terminal (2) in real time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming and managing itineraries or routes and to a network implementing the method. The method of forming and managing itineraries or routes consists in providing a plurality of software modules each controlling and verifying one or more means and/or resources, and having means for communicating with one or more other modules to form an itinerary by building up an ordered chain or succession of software modules allocated to said itinerary and each locked in a given state that depends on its contribution to said itinerary, and in dismantling said itinerary after it has been used by releasing said software modules allocated thereto, the various stages of existence of such an itinerary being defined by consecutive operating sequences affecting said software modules and their associated means and/or resources, and comprising successive allocation, control/verification, and release sequences.
