An apparatus and method for securely accessing a web service by a web application running in a browser on a user device is disclosed. A user device sends a request for accessing a web service by addressing a generic name. In response, the user device receives a global name that uniquely identifies a local device hosting a web service. The global name is further associated with a certificate. The user device receives the global name and verifies the certificate associated with the global name to securely access the web service.

Method and device for securely accessing a web service

Remote management of a digital terrestrial television device. In terrestrial television reception, a control command is transmitted by a distant remote management server through another communication channel, the control command requesting the video device to set at least a digital terrestrial television parameter related to a service list management.

Management methods of a video device and corresponding video device

A method and a related electronic device for selecting, from a plurality of candidate video frame sets, a candidate video frame set to be inserted in a video frame slot of a given video content. It comprises obtaining the plurality of candidate video frame sets according to ranking values of a sorting parameter associated with each of the candidate video frame sets, thereby obtaining a list of candidate video frame sets and for each candidate video frame set of the list, determining a processing cost for inserting the candidate video frame set and applying the processing cost for obtaining an updated candidate video frame set ranking value according to the sorting parameter. The list is then sorted according to the updated ranking values of the sorting parameter and a selection of a candidate video frame set of the sorted list according to the updated ranking value.

Method for selecting from a plurality of candidate video frame sets, a candidate video frame set to be inserted in a video frame slot of a given video content, corresponding device, arrangement and computer program product

The present invention relates to a reliable method and device for backup of data from a first network to a second network. The method and device of the present invention can for example be used for a backup of voluminous data from the first to the second network via a link with a relatively small bandwidth.

Data backup method and device

The invention relates to method for configuring a first wireless network that includes at least one access point. In order to optimize the configuration of the first wireless network, the method comprises a step of configuring at least one parameter of the at least one access point of the first wireless network on the basis of at least a portion of the linking balance of a second wireless network including at least two nodes, the nodes being positioned in a predetermined physical space.

Method for configuring a wireless network

The invention concerns a communication method in a home network comprising at least two devices connected to a communication bus, characterized in that, a first device including an internet application and a second device including means for connecting to the internet, said second device being able to manage at least one internet application protocol, said method comprises the steps of: sending a request from said first device to said second device for opening a connection between said first and second devices, wherein said request contains an internet application protocol identifier to identify the internet application protocol to be used over said connection; sending an internet protocol request under the format of said internet application protocol from said first device to said second device; forwarding said internet protocol request from said second device to an internet server; upon receipt; transferring a response from said internet server to said first device through said second device over said communication bus. The invention also concerns a network and a device for implementing the method above.

Communication method in a home network, network and device for implementing such a method

The invention relates to the remote management of a digital terrestrial television device. In order to improve the terrestrial television reception, a control command is transmitted by a distant remote management server through another communication channel, the control command requesting the video device to set at least a digital terrestrial television parameter related to a service list management.

The present invention concerns a method to control the transmission and transmission data rate between at least two servers and a receiver. The servers being adapted to transmit data representative of an audiovisual content. The audiovisual content being available from each of said at least two servers in at least two versions. The versions corresponding respectively to different transmission bit-rates. The servers being adapted to transmit audiovisual contents in successive parts, each of said successive parts being chosen as one of at least two versions in response to transmission requests sent by the receivers, said transmission requests comprising a transmission parameter.

Method and apparatus to control a multipath adaptive streaming session

The invention relates to a method and a device for converting a data stream transporting content into a file on a server, the content including timestamps for its playback, the timestamps indicating the time elapsed since the start of said content, the method being wherein it includes steps for receiving, from a broadcast channel, streaming content, calculating at least one piece of temporal playback information from at least one of the timestamps and a reference clock, the reference clock being the time reference for a local area network, saving the content to a file on a server, the server file being accessible by a playback terminal connected to the local area network, and saving a piece of temporal playback information to a server file or to a description file associated with the server file.

Method of saving content to a file on a server and corresponding device

The invention proposes a method and device for adding redundancy data in a distributed data storage system. Among others, the invention allows to keep impact on network resources low through the use of coordinated regenerating codes according to the invention.

Method for adding redundancy data to a distributed data storage system and corresponding device

Method for transmission of images comprising: In order to optimise the use of a transmission channel, the method also comprises: The invention also relates to a corresponding method for reception.

Method of transmission of digital images and reception of transport packets

The present invention relates to the domain of reception and transmission of data streams, for example audio and video. More specifically, the invention relates to the optional use of an error correction stream associated with a data stream.

Method for receiving data streams and corresponding method for transmission

Device for connecting a wireless network to at least one other network comprising a bridge module for managing a plurality of ports for connecting to respective networks, the device comprising a wireless network management module for managing associations, with an access point of a centralized wireless network, of devices of networks (connected to the bridge device other than the wireless network; wherein the bridge device is adapted to be a station of the wireless network.

Device for connecting a wireless network to at least one other network

The invention relates to the field of telecommunication and more particularly, to the acquisition of a statistics related to quality related to data reception, for instance quality of service and/or quality of user experience of digital audio and/or video services. In particular, the objective of the present invention is to improve the collection of quality statistics.
