A multimedia data organization process, i.e. creation, of a photo album or slideshow, said multimedia data being represented by contingent individuals () of an instantiated ontology that in addition to generic individuals (EC, C, F, M, T, A) comprises semantic links between individuals, comprising: &#x2014;the presentation to the user of the choice of at least one individual from the instantiated ontology, and in response to a user-prompted choice, &#x2014;the selection and organization of a subset of multimedia data corresponding to the contingent individuals of the instantiated ontology according to at least one selection and/or organization rule engaging the user-chosen individual and the related semantic links.

Process for organizing multimedia data

A process for using a terminal capable of capturing images to determine a probability of capturing the images according to information taken from contextual data provided by the image capture means. The process uses a terminal such as a mobile terminal comprising a first image data sensor and at least one contextual data sensor to automatically determine at least one probability of capturing an image or a sequence of images taking place within a time interval, the capture probability being calculated based on at least one response provided by one of the activated image data and/or contextual data sensors.

Process for automatically determining a probability of image capture with a terminal using contextual data

The invention relates to a method of data transmission by an ad-hoc network of mobile communication equipment (), from at least one source equipment () to at least one collection terminal (), by means of mobile relay equipment (), in which for each communication equipment, at least one quality factor is updated (Q, QQQQQ). According to the invention, the quality factor of each relay equipment depends on a history of data transmission, and data transmission from mobile equipment to mobile relay equipment is conditional on the quality factor of the relay equipment capable of receiving the data.

Method and equipment for data transmission by ad-hoc network

The invention is intended for the technological field of data communication between electronic equipment (-) forming part of a system of electronic equipment (). The invention more specifically relates to a method and a system to facilitate, using an identifier having the form of a visual code, the transmission of command data to one of the electronic equipment items of the system, when the electronic equipment that produces the visual code is activated. The transmission of command data intended for one of the equipment items is performed following the reading and decoding of the visual code, for example with another equipment item of the system.

Production of visual codes for pairing electronic equipment

The present invention is in the field of digital imaging. It relates to a method for determining the coordinates of a subject of interest in a digital image, so as to be able to then display this subject of interest on the screen of a terminal with low display capacity. The present invention enables, from the screen of a terminal with sufficient display capacity, at least one subject of interest in an original still digital image to be selected, and the coordinates of said subject of interest to be determined. The application of the present invention consists in preparing the display operation of subjects of interest of digital images on the screens of terminals with low display capacity.

Method for selecting and displaying a subject or interest in a still digital image

The present invention is in the field of digital imaging. It relates to a method and a system for selecting a subject of interest in a digital image, so as to be able to then display this subject of interest on the screen of a terminal with low display capacity. The present invention enables the display directly and automatically on the screen of a terminal with low display capacity, of subjects of interest, previously selected in an original image. This is done based on a simple operation or request executed from the terminal with low display capacity. This enables the image to be exploited correctly, by viewing the subjects of interest of the original image, in the best possible conditions of image rendering, given the display capacity of said terminal. The application of the present invention is in the area of the users of terminals with low display capacity.

Method and system for optimizing the display of a subject of interest in a digital image

A method to transmit drawings or images comprising text to low display ability terminals, and more particularly to cellular phones or equivalent mobile devices. The transmission is possible in the best conditions and automatically. The transmission enables the consultation or display by the user of these drawings or images comprising text, on a low display ability terminal. These images can have the form of a plate of several images or an individual image comprising text. This operation is possible by automatically transforming the drawings or images via image analysis into image entities formed by an image zone and a text zone; and without requiring any extra work by the publisher or author of the drawings or images comprising text.

Process for sending images to a low display ability terminal

A process is shown for making available digital photographic images. The process comprises: sending to a processing laboratory an exposed photosensitive film strip to be developed, digitizing each of the developed images without any printing of the images, destroying the film strip and providing several options to a customer for obtaining and/or viewing their digital images.

Process for making available digital photographic images

The present invention relates to a device for moving a fluid which can be used in the ink jet printing art. The device of the present invention includes a mechanism for moving the fluid by using polymers. The polymers have hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties that can be selected under the action of an external stress.
