Abstract: The invention relates to the processing of combined display screen-oriented and voice-oriented web page information (i(html,xml)). To this end, display screen-oriented web page information (i(html)) is processed in an internet terminal (PC) and voice-oriented web page information (i(xml)) is processed in a multimedia platform (VOX). In order to synchronize the processing of web page information that is distributed among the internet terminal and the multimedia platform, voice information (ivox) is exchanged by using voice agents (Avox) and control information (isig) and data (idat) are exchanged by using a communications agent (Asig). This results in dynamically reducing the load placed upon the multimedia platform.

Abstract: A message management method, for use when a depositor (X) wishes to send a message (M) to an addressee (Y), includes a step of the depositor (X) sending a call invitation (INV1) to a call router (10) to set up a call to the addressee (Y), a step of the router (10) identifying a depositary peer in a peer-to-peer network (1) that is available and has sufficient resources (HD) for storing the message (M), and a step of setting up a communication stream (FC) between the depositor (X) and the depositary (PR) for storing the message in the resources (HD) of the depositary peer.
