- the invention also relates to a connection terminal between at least two telecommunication terminals, characterized in that it comprises means of dialogue with said terminals making it possible to determine among said terminals, those which are capable of being connected to a server. .
- FIG. 1 schematically represents the different stages of an exemplary mode of realization of the invention
- Figures 2 and 3 schematically represent the steps of dialogues corresponding respectively to two embodiments of the invention.
- the invention is not limited to a PC or an equivalent terminal such as a television, nor to a radiocommunication terminal such as a mobile telephone or a PDA; it applies to any telecommunications terminal available to a user and capable of being connected to a server through at least one telecommunications network.
- the telecommunications terminal can be connected to a server for example through the Internet network via an access network or through a network internal to a company or an organization, of the Intranet type, possibly via an access network.
- access networks include Ethernet, cellular radio, switched telephone, ATM, cable, ADSL ("Asymmetry Digital Subscriber Line”) networks.
- the method according to the invention allows the user to first use (arrow A) a service offered by the server 1 hosted by the Internet network 2, by establishing a first access session to the server 1 from the mobile 3 connected to the Internet by a cellular radio communication network 4 GSM ("Global System for Mobile communication", in English), GPRS, UMTS or other.
- GSM Global System for Mobile communication
- an instant messaging service consisting of communicating by means of short text messages of the SMS type, with friends listed in a list, the user enters on his mobile a following URL address: wap. .domain service.
- navigation will designate the use by the user of a service offered by the server.
- the PC 5 (or the PC of a public space) is conventionally connected to the server 1 hosted by the Internet network 2, by a fixed access network 7 such as the fixed telephone network or the broadband ADSL network. or any other equivalent telecommunications network.
- a fixed access network 7 such as the fixed telephone network or the broadband ADSL network. or any other equivalent telecommunications network.
- Terminal 6 can offer the user a default terminal such as for example the PC 5.
- the terminal can also more generally provide him with a list of telecommunications terminals available to the user, capable of being connected to terminal 6 and to server 1, that is to say available; from this list, the user determines the terminal of his choice.
- Terminal 6 includes, for this purpose, means of dialogue with these terminals to determine the terminals of this list.
- dialog means are for example in the form of a program implemented by the terminal and allowing it to interrogate the terminals, and corresponding programs implemented by the terminals to enable them to respond to the terminal.
- it is the mobile which, in the presence of the terminal 6, offers the user via a menu to continue browsing on the PC 5.
- Terminal 6 is connected to PC 5, mobile 3 and other possible user telecommunications terminals by radio type Bluetooth, WiFi, HomeRF, DECT, ..., by infrared or even by wire.
- Telecommunication terminals are of course equipped with a transceiver corresponding to the same communication mode.
- the terminal 6 can be integrated into one of the telecommunications terminals, to the PC 5 for example in the form of a card or a modem, the PC then comprising the software for carrying out the interface with the terminal.
- This terminal 6 is possibly connected to the server 1 by the Internet network via an access network.
- Terminal 6 accesses the Internet using a protocol such as "http" or another Internet protocol.
- the access network is preferably the fixed access network 7 such as the fixed telephone network or the ADSL broadband network or even a cable telecommunications network.
- Terminal 6 can also be connected to a home gateway ("gateway" in English) which is itself connected to the Internet via the access network.
- Terminal 6 can also include functions other than those provided in the context of the subject invention and connect, for example, other equipment than these telecommunications terminals.
- the data transferred to PC 5 depends in particular on the service in use by the user. There are three categories of services.
- the first category concerns services which do not require the user to be known to the server.
- the second category concerns the services which require that the parameters of the first session of access to the server contained in the first terminal, those of the user himself as well as those of the new terminal that he will use for its navigation, are known to the server.
- These include services requiring the server to adapt the content to the type of terminal, for example to move from condensed content for a mobile to full content for a PC.
- the user ID and the parameters of the new terminal (of the second terminal) must be communicated to the server so that the server recognizes that it is the same user who is connecting from another telecommunications terminal, to continue navigation.
- the third category concerns services which require the user, the first terminal and the new terminal (second terminal) to be known to the server. These include services requiring authentication to secure access to the server. Examples of services in this category include Internet shopping services. The user identifier, the authentication parameters and the parameters of the first and of the second terminal must then be communicated to the server so that the server recognizes that it is the same user who is connected from of a first terminal, connects from a second telecommunications terminal, to continue its navigation.
- the data transferred to the PC 5 also depends on the device which transmits the necessary information to the server 1. It may indeed be the PC 5 which transmits them to the server 1, in which case, the PC receives from the mobile 3 all the data useful for itself as well as the data to be transmitted to the server. It may be according to a variant of the invention, the terminal 6 which transmits the necessary information to the server 1, in which case, the PC 5 receives only the data relating to it alone.
- the PC receives at least the address (URL or IP) of the service in use and the type of service.
- the type of service is necessary for the PC so that it can launch locally any application allowing it to use the service in question. It possibly receives the history of navigation made from the mobile. The user can thus continue his navigation without discontinuity.
- the data transferred to the PC will include the URL address of said service which the PC will adapt according to the "http" or "TCP” protocol ("Transmission Control Protocol” in English), the type of service for the PC to launch the specific application necessary to use this service, and the history including the list of friends and the SMS messages sent and / or received.
- terminal 6 or PC 5 informs the server 1 of this change of terminal concerning the same user (arrow E) by transmitting to it in particular the identifier of the user, the parameters of the first access session contained in the first terminal as well as the parameters characterizing the new terminal, in this case the PC 5.
- the authentication parameters and those of the first terminal are also transmitted to the server 1.
- the user does not have to explicitly authenticate himself once again by connecting to the server 1 from his PC.
- the data relating to the first session are adapted for the second session to take account for example of a change in type of terminal (change of content intended for a mobile for content for a PC).
- the server will transmit to the user connected from his PC 5, a file sent by a friend from the list, when he could not do so while the user was connected from his mobile 3.
- the first session between the server 1 and the mobile 3 is preferably closed.
- the user can then continue browsing from his PC 5 (arrow F).
- a first Internet session, SI is established with the server Sr by the user U from his mobile M.
- the mobile M sends (arrow a) a Bluetooth type signal for example to terminal B which detects it (arrow b) and the user turns on his PC. From his PC, the user gives the order to continue navigation from his PC (arrow c).
- the PC then asks terminal B to communicate the necessary information to it (arrow d).
- Terminal B requests them from mobile M (arrow e).
- the mobile M transmits to the terminal B the URL address, the type of the service in use and the history (arrow f).
- Terminal B transmits this information to the PC as well as possibly, depending on the category of service, the user identifier U and the parameters of the mobile M (arrow g).
- the PC transmits to the server Sr the necessary information which depends on the category of the service used (arrow h).
- the Sr establishes with the PC a second session S2 (arrow i).
- the PC transmits this information to terminal B, which then knows that the PC is busy (arrow j).
- the Sr closes the first session with the mobile M (arrow k).
- a first Internet session, SI is established with the server Sr by the user U from his mobile M.
- the mobile M sends (arrow a) a Bluetooth type signal for example to terminal B which detects it (arrow b).
- Terminal B inquires of the PC about its availability (arrow c). If the PC's response to terminal B is that it is available (arrow d), terminal B offers the user via his mobile (using a menu for example) to continue browsing on the PC (arrows e and f).
- the mobile M transmits to the terminal B the URL address, the type of the service in use and the history (arrow h).
- Terminal B transmits this information to the PC as well as possibly, depending on the category of service, the user identifier U and the parameters of the mobile M (arrow i).
- the PC transmits to the server Sr the necessary information which depends on the category of the service used (arrow j).
- the Sr establishes with the PC a second session S2 (arrow k).
- the PC transmits this information to terminal B, which then knows that the PC is busy (arrow 1).
- Terminal B closes the first session with mobile M (arrow m).
- the change of terminal can be done from a PC to a mobile.
- An additional step then occurs, which consists of condensing certain information intended to be read (or memorized or ...) from the mobile.
- the PC Before transferring information from the PC to the mobile, the PC condenses the information it has such as the history.
