A method for establishing a second communication according to a second modality on based on a first communication established according to a first modality between a communication terminal and an interactive server, the server reacting, according to a predefined logic, to commands received from the terminal, the logic being predefined by states and by conditions of transitions between the states. The method includes the server: obtaining a command for establishing a second communication according to a second modality; storing a context representative of interactions taken place between the terminal and the server in the course of the first communication in association with a public identity, the context including a state occupied by the server in the course of the first communication; establishing the second communication according to the second modality toward a recipient terminal designated by the stored public identity; and configuring the second communication based on the stored context.

Method for establishing a communication with an interactive server

A method for organizing a plurality of messages from an instant messaging conversation between a terminal and a conversational agent in which a message includes a grouping identifier. The method includes, when a new message is exchanged, selecting, from the messages of the conversation, at least one message having a grouping identifier that corresponds to the grouping identifier of the exchanged message, and when at least one message is selected, modifying at least one display area on the screen of the terminal corresponding to at least one of the selected messages, according to at least one characteristic of the exchanged message.

Method for organizing a plurality of messages exchanged with a conversational agent according to a grouping identifier and a message characteristic

A method for interaction between a mobile terminal and a communicating automaton machine. The communicating automaton machine includes a conversational agent capable of exchanging messages with the terminal by using a first communication interface. The method includes obtaining a piece of information according to which the communicating automaton machine is in the vicinity of the terminal; inserting, in an address book of the terminal, an entry relating to the communicating automaton machine including at least the piece of information obtained; and sending at least one message capable of initializing an interaction between the terminal and the communicating automaton machine when the inserted address book entry is selected.

Method for interaction between a mobile terminal and a communicating automaton

A method of playback on a terminal of a plurality of messages exchanged by way of a communication network between the terminal and a conversational agent. The method includes obtaining an identifier of the conversational agent; obtaining, as a function of the identifier obtained, at least one playback rule for the messages exchanged; and implementing the at least one playback rule when a message is sent or received.

Method of playback of a plurality of messages exchanged with a conversational agent

A method enabling a telecommunications terminal to access a database hosted by a service platform that can be accessed via a telecommunications network. The method includes: transmitting, to a second terminal associated with a mobile identifier of a second telecommunications network, information representing a request for the first terminal to access the database; in the second terminal, sending a response to the access request to an authentication server of the platform; in the authentication server, when a response to the access request is received, verifying the mobile identifier of the second network, and optionally validating the access of the first terminal to the database depending on the outcome of the verification.

One embodiment disclosed herein relates to a method for exchanging multimedia messages between a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal that are connected to a communication network, the method comprising the implementation, by a processor of the first terminal, of a process comprising receiving, from the network, a first multimedia message transmitted by the second terminal, the first multimedia message including at least one media item, restoring and modifying the media item in a user interface depending on the actions of a user, and sending a second multimedia message including the modified media to the second terminal.

Method for exchanging multimedia messages

This information collection module implemented in a first telecommunications terminal comprises means for obtaining non-declarative information representative of usage of at least one first application of said first terminal; and means for communicating said non-declarative usage information to a presence server accessible by a second terminal in order to determine a presence status associated with at least one second application of said first terminal.

Module and a method for collecting non-declarative information and implemented by a telecommunications terminal

The invention concerns a method and a device for communicating between at least a first terminal () and a second terminal (), a first communication session (S) having previously been established by the first terminal, and first drawing data intended to be transmitted to the second terminal having been generated (E) by at least the first terminal. When the second terminal is not available to participate in the first communication session, the communication method stores (E) said first drawing data in a communication device. After the end of said first communication session, the communication device sends (E) an invitation message to the second terminal inviting it to participate in a second communication session (S) and transmits (E) said first drawing data to the second terminal during the second communication session.

Method and device for communicating between at least a first terminal and a second terminal

A method is provided for allowing an exchange of context information within a group of users sharing one and the same identifier. The method includes transmitting information between at least one first terminal and a second terminal associated with a common identifier. The method includes a step of sending by the first terminal a notification of state intended at least for the second terminal and carrying an item of information relating to the context in which a user of the first terminal finds himself. The method allows members of a community of users, which is identified by a unique telephone number, to avail themselves of context information relating to the other members of the community at any moment, and in particular at the precise moment at which a setup request for establishing a communication is presented to them.
