Abstract:
A method of communicating a presence state for a group of users having user terminals relating to their presence in a virtual communication space provided by a communication server on a communication network. The virtual space provides a plurality of distinct communication modes referred to as “activities” that can be shared by all of the users of said group. The method includes associating each activity of the virtual space with a graphics icon representing the activity, the icon being for displaying via a graphics interface implemented by any activity sharing client application that is installed in each user terminal. A presence state is determined for each user of the group. For each of the activities, a graphical representation for the associated icon is determined as a function of the presence state for the users relative to the activity, enabling visual identification of user(s) participating in the activity.
Abstract:
A method for managing proofs of purchase, which includes: collecting at least one proof of purchase; extracting at least one characteristic of the purchase from the at least one proof of purchase collected; identifying a bank transaction on a bank account of the user by matching the at least one characteristic of the extracted proof of purchase with a characteristic of a transaction on a bank account of the user; and, when a transaction is identified, storing the proof of purchase associated with the transaction in a database.
Abstract:
A method for locating a quality of service problem implemented on a terminal during a multi-media session between two terminals over a communication network, which includes at least one media gateway that is able to retransmit media data packets without particular processing according to a “router mode” of management. The terminals obtain a first quality of service data item relating to the multi-media session. Following a change in the mode of management to a “relay mode” in which the multi-media session initially established between the terminals is split into two separate multi-media sessions, it includes: obtaining of a second quality of service data item relating to one of the two multi-media sessions established following the change in the mode of management of the media gateway; comparing the first and second quality of service data items; and locating the quality of service problem depending on the result of the comparison.
Abstract:
A method for establishing a web communication between a web browser running on a first terminal and a web browser running on a second terminal, distinct from a communication via a web browser being previously established between the first and second terminals. Following detection, by the first terminal, of a user interaction requesting establishment of a web communication with the second terminal, the first terminal creates a session identifier including at least one identifier of the first terminal, and generates a URL address including the created session identifier. The URL address makes it possible to access a web page to establish the requested web communication, via a server. The URL address is inserted into a message sent to the second terminal, which triggers opening by the browser of the first terminal of a web page downloaded from the server based on the URL address.
