A system, method and program product that automatically populates address book fields. A system is described that includes: a system for sending and receiving SMS messages; an address book that includes an entry for an owner and entries for contacts associated with the owner, wherein each entry includes a set attributes and at least one piece of attribute data; a system for parsing an incoming SMS message to identify a request for attribute data of the owner and for generating a responsive SMS message with attribute data of the owner; and a system for issuing SMS messages to contacts in the address book requesting additional attribute data and for loading received attribute data into the address book.

A method for providing a procuration to a user on behalf of a letter or parcel recipient for authorizing this user to retrieve this letter or parcel with acknowledgement of receipt in an intelligent mailbox. Exemplary embodiments include a method to forward delegation between the original recipient and the delegated user through an exchange supported by any electronic or physical protocol of a delegation information made of the recipient unique identifier, a validity period and a hashcode, signed with the recipient private key and the mailbox public key.

A method for translating source code programs written in a procedural computer language in source code programs written in an Object Oriented language. The method of the invention provides a parser which adds to the lexicographic and syntactical analysis of the source code a semantic analysis: a parser is written for identifying the semantic patterns in the source code. At execution, the parser reads the instructions of the procedural language and classify the sequences of instructions identified as using a known pattern. According to the matched patterns, the parser creates different categories of classes containing both functional (linearly translated code) or references to other object instances. Each time an object is discovered in the code it is stored in an Object Dictionary with its description and reused when referred later in the code. The parser is executed for each program and at each execution new classes and new objects are created; when all the programs are translated the OO classes and objects form the target object model.
