摘要:
Processing signals from a remote control device within a home audiovisual network comprising a plurality of nodes for interconnecting a plurality of terminals, wherein, within the network, at least two types of remote-control signals are used, including first type remote-control signals specific to the nodes and sent by at least one first remote control device associated with the nodes, and second type remote-control signals specific to the terminals and sent by at least one second remote control device associated with at least one of said terminals. Each node of the network, called a local node, when receiving a first remote-control signal, performs analysis of the type of the received first remote-control signal, if the type of the received first remote-control signal is determined to be one of the first type remote-control signals, processing the signal and performing at least one function in response to the received first remote-control signal, if the type of the received first remote-control signal is determined to be one of the second type remote-control signals, transparently sending said received second type remote-control signal to a target node if the target node, to which a target terminal is connected, has been determined beforehand, said target terminal being connected with said target node, through at least one predetermined link between the target node and the target terminal, and if no target node has been determined beforehand, ignoring said received second type remote-control signal.

A method for the management of devices in a communications network comprises at least one source device and at least one destination device, the destination device or devices being interconnected to the source device or devices by means of at least one other device of the network called an access device or devices. This method comprises the following steps implemented by an access device compatible with a predetermined audiovisual content description format: reception of a request, coming from a destination device, called a requesting destination device, for obtaining a list of audiovisual contents available on the access device; creation of a list, called a requested list, comprising a piece of information representing at least one source device, the representative information being described according to the audiovisual content description format; in response to the request, sending the requesting destination device the list created during the creation step.

In a method for the restriction of access from a sink device to a content stored in a storage device, a content protection protocol comprises an authentication phase and an encryption key exchange phase is implemented between the storage device and the sink device. The method comprises a prior step for the association of at least one predetermined password with said content and/or said storage device; and the following steps of: a) obtaining at least one piece of access information during the authentication phase; b) obtaining a processing function dependent on said at least one piece of access information (UCPK) and said at least one predetermined password (CPK); c) applying the processing function thus obtained during the authentication phase of the protection protocol, the application of the processing function causing the authentication phase to fail when said at least one piece of access information does not meet a predetermined condition.

A method of communicating digital information of different data formats via a plurality of communication channels shared between several communication means includes a reception operation, a reformat operation, and a transmission operation. In the reception operation, digital information having a first format and transmitted via a first communication channel from communication means that uses the first format is received. In the reformat operation, the received digital information having the first format is reformatted to digital information having a second format different from the first format, if resources to use a second channel for transmission of digital information having the second format are available. In the transmission operation, the digital information having the second format is transmitted via the second channel and is received by communication means that uses the second format.
