A method for supplying and a method for obtaining, by a terminal, from a first user, a biometric signature of a second user. The terminal receives a radio signal transmitted by a transmitter device according to a near-field communication technology, via a channel using the electromagnetic wave conduction capabilities of the body of the second user when the second user comes into contact with or grazes a surface of the transmitter device and via a channel using the electromagnetic wave capabilities of the body of the first user when the first user comes into contact with or grazes the second user, and obtains, from this radio signal, the biometric signature of the second user. The biometric signature is stored in a secure memory space of the terminal in order to be used subsequently during an authentication of the first user.

Method and device for supplying a terminal of a first user with a biometric signature of a second user

A method for controlling the authentication of a user by an authentication device, the authentication being implemented by verification, by the authentication device, that a code entered by the user on an interaction interface of the authentication device corresponds to a predetermined code associated with the user is disclosed. A signal representative of a radio signal characteristic of an interaction of the user on the interaction interface of the authentication device is received by the user's terminal. The radio signal is transmitted by an antenna of the authentication device via a channel using electromagnetic wave conduction capacities of the user's body when the user enters the code. It is verified that the radio signal corresponds to a previously stored reference signal, and, in the event of a positive verification, a piece of data representative of the user's identity is transmitted to the authentication device for verification with the user's identity.

Method and device for authenticating a user using the conductivity of the human body

A method and a device for authenticating a user. A signal representative of at least one character traced by the user on a surface of a transmitter device is received by the authentication device. The transmitter device includes an antenna able to transmit a radio signal to a terminal of the user via a channel using the electromagnetic wave conduction capabilities of the body of the user when the hand of the user traces the at least one character on or close to the surface of the transmitter device. The authentication device checks whether the received signal corresponds to a previously stored control signal and, in the event of a positive check, confirms authentication of the user.

Method and device for authenticating a user

A method for recognizing a user carrying a terminal capable of receiving a radio signal coming from a device equipped with an antenna suitable for transmitting the signal. The signal is intended to be transmitted between the device and the terminal by using electromagnetic wave conduction capacities of the body of the user when at least one part of his/her body is in the vicinity of the antenna. When the user makes a characteristic movement, to move the part of his/her body close to the antenna, the device transmits a characteristic signal of the movement. The method includes: receiving a signal coming from the device; generating a characteristic datum of the movement; obtaining at least one signature; comparing the characteristic datum with the signature; and depending on the results of the comparison, recognizing the user.

Method and system for recognizing a user during a radio communication via the human body

One embodiment relates to a message management method comprising an interception process for intercepting a first message sent to a device of a user; an estimation process for estimating a level referred to as the 'user interruptibility level' representing the extent to which the user can be interrupted in their current activity; an estimation process for estimating a level of importance of the first message; and a processing process for processing the first message as a function of the user interruptibility level and of the importance level of the first message.
