Abstract: A technique for remote administration of a device to be administered. A relay device receives a request to activate a filter for administration of the device to be administered from a referring administration server. This activation request includes information relating to rights assigned to a third-party administration server for delegating the administration of the device to be administered. The relay device then applies a filter to a message received from the third-party administration server intended for the device to be administered, the message received from the third-party administration server being filtered by the filter when it does not comply with the rights assigned to the third-party administration server.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing a group of equipment, as well as an associated server and system. The method may be implemented by a main referring server, and includes defining a subgroup of equipment from the group of equipment, the subgroup of equipment comprising at least two pieces of equipment from group of equipment, having the same value for at least one common configuration parameter. The method also includes determining a piece of equipment delegated to implement at least one portion of a maintenance operation on at least one piece of equipment of the sub-group of equipment, where the delegated piece of equipment is another piece of equipment from the sub-group of equipment.

Abstract: A call is managed between a network and a telecommunications system (10) including a gateway (13), one or more interface devices (14-16) each of which can be connected to the gateway, and one or more sensors (17A, 17B) of information relating to the respective environments of the interface devices. The sensor senses information relating to the respective environments of the interface devices. Then, as a function of the sensed information, an interface device is selected. Finally, the selected interface device is connected with the gateway to enable a call between the selected interface device and the network.

Abstract: A graphical representation is generated on the basis of a database containing descriptors of localized entities, comprising information on said localized entities in a geometric model, a set-theoretic model and a semantic model.
