Abstract: To optimize road traffic within an application server (SA) providing itineraries recommended to users connected to said application server from communication terminals (TC), each recommended itinerary being provided to a user based on a profile of the user containing the departure date or arrival date, the departure location and the arrival location, the application server compares the itineraries recommended to users whose indicated departure date belongs to a given interval time, produces a set of users whose corresponding recommended itineraries have at least one itinerary segment of given length in common, and modifies an itinerary recommended to at least one user who belongs to said set of users.

Abstract: A method for controlling the exchange of private data, associated with a client device, between an application in execution on or for the device and a serving node in a data network, comprising transmitting a request to the serving node from the application for access to a service requiring use of the private data, receiving challenge data at the application from the serving node, requesting authorization for the use of the private data using a secure user interface of the client device to a trusted information manager on the basis of the challenge data, transmitting an obfuscated version of the private data for use with the service from the trusted information manager to the application on the basis of the authorization.

Abstract: A method includes a) in the source domain sending a trusted path computation request to each of the trusted neighboring domains; b) in each trusted downwards neighboring domain, determining whether this latter is the destination domain or not; and if it is not the destination domain, seeking every next trusted downwards neighboring domain and, seeking at least one trusted path segment that can reach a found next trusted downwards neighboring domain, and then forwarding the trusted path computation request to the found next trusted downwards neighboring domain; and re-iterate all the step b. If it is the destination domain, seeking within this destination domain every trusted path segment that can reach the second machine, and, if there is at least one such segment, sending a positive response message; c) when all the trusted downwards neighboring domains have been processed, re-iterate step b for each next trusted downwards neighboring domain.

Abstract: When managing of a set of parameters for the delivery of spontaneous contents to a user of a terminal, at least one content is delivered to the user, a determination is made as to whether the user generates on his/her terminal a reaction that is favorable or otherwise to the content delivered. Within the set of parameters for delivery of the spontaneous contents, at least one parameter representing the said reaction on the part of the user, and at least one contextual parameter associated to the said content delivered are stored to memory so as to adapt the said set of parameters, and a schedule is established via the terminal to deliver at least one spontaneous content selected based on the said adapted set of parameters so as to determine an appropriate moment to deliver the said selected content.

Abstract: A processing a device (D), for a network equipment element (RP) of a communication network equipped with an accounting and billing management module, includes processing means (MT) which are tasked, firstly, to determine, from values representing selected local parameters of their equipment element (RP) and/or of selected traffic streams received by this equipment element (RP), associated with the identifier of a customer in the network, usage data concerning the resources of the network corresponding to said customer identifier, and secondly, to transmit these usage data, and the identifier associated with them, to the accounting and billing management module for a possible billing of the customer designated by this identifier.

Abstract: In order to recommend digital content to be delivered via a telecommunications network (RT) to a communication terminal (TC), a device (DRA) receives a first list (L1) of digital content produced from a recommendation system (SR) based on a user's profile, each piece of digital content on the list being associated with an estimate of the user's degree of interest, and receives cost estimates respectively associated with the deliveries of digital content included in the first list from another device (DAC), the cost being representative of resources of the telecommunications network needed to deliver the digital content from a content source (SC) to the communication terminal.

Abstract: The aim of the present invention is a system (100) for selecting a message suitable for delivery to a user (111) of telecommunications services. This system (100) comprises a first database (107) including a range of statuses characteristic of said user (111), each status occupying a specific place in a series of possible statuses, and transitions between the different statuses, a second database (108) including a range of messages suitable for broadcast to said user (111) and a third database (104) incorporating a history of messages already broadcast to said user (111). The system (100) also comprises a calculator (101) comprising transition detection means (112) and means of determining the current status of said user (111) based on data provided by said third database (104), means (113) of associating said current status with a message included in said second database and means (103; 115; 114) of determining the moment to broadcast said message to said user (111).
