    Abstract: A method for characterizing a user and a corresponding computer program, storage medium, and processing device. The method includes comparing between at least one first identifier of a first sound and at least one second identifier received from a human-machine interface, after the human-machine interface plays a plurality of second sounds, which are heard by the user. If the at least one second identifier received corresponds to the first identifier, the comparison triggers a characterization of the user as being a suitable user.

    Abstract: A method for automatic control of household-apparatus position, and in particular to fully opening, fully closing and partially opening, etc. French doors, roof windows (also called slanting skylights), French windows, doors, etc. the control method includes generating a command depending on an acquired audio signal, the generated command being able to trigger control by an actuator of a household apparatus, the actuator moving the household apparatus into a position that is dependent on the command. Thus, a number of automation contexts is increased and includes weather-unrelated contexts, for example nuisance-noise-related contexts, and, potentially, also weather-related contexts.

    Abstract: A method and a device for characterizing a user, in particular a user of a device and/or a service in the field of computer security. The characterization method includes: a comparison of first data associated with a first sound object spatialized at a first location by a user interface of a communication terminal and second data received following the reproduction of the first spatialized sound object, the second data being based on a second spatialized sound object perceived at a second location. The comparison triggers, in the event of a positive result, a characterization of the source of interaction as being a suitable user. Thus, errors in characterizing a user as a suitable user, in particular a human user, are reduced because existing sound and speech recognition systems are not able to select a sound in a spatialized sound environment, i.e. a 3D audio scene.

    Abstract: A chatbot interfacing between several devices including a machine and a plurality of user terminals running an instant messaging application in which the users converse with the chatbot by exchanging messages via their terminal. The chatbot is able to dialogue independently with the terminals and the machine. The chatbot is capable of: analyzing at least one item of content in a message of a first type sent by at least one first device; and generating a message of a second type intended for a second device on the basis of the outcome of the analysis of the message of the first type. In this case one among the first and second devices is a terminal and the other among the first and second devices is the machine.

    Abstract: A method for providing information to a communication terminal of a user, a method for broadcasting to the terminal, and an information manager and broadcaster using the methods. The information is based on data relating to at least one object connected to a communication network, such as the Internet. The information-providing method includes selecting a broadcasting channel depending on whether the broadcasting channel is being actively used by the communication terminal of the destination user, the broadcasting channel being able to broadcast, to the at least one communication terminal of the user, a piece of information generated on the basis of at least one datum originating from at least one connected object associated with the user. Thus, the data originating from the connected object(s) allow the user to be informed in a pertinent, personalized and unintrusive way.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described which relate to the assistance or guidance of a user in the detection of an element in an area. A search assistant for searching for an element in an area may include a direction changer for changing the direction of emission of a visible signal on the basis of detected relative data of an element sought in the area, the relative data detected by at least one sensor such as an audio sensor or a video sensor. Such a search assistant may use a simple visible signal for guidance toward the element sought in the area. The technology used may be easy to implement, cheap and readily accessible, allowing guidance precision that depends solely on the precision of the known or detected location of the sought object.
