• the memory 14 contains multimedia contents, for example animations or multimedia elements to create an animation, which can be chosen by the caller, either by default by associating an animation with a contact, or with the act by associating an animation the call he's going to make. Physically, this memory can be located either on the caller's terminal or in the network.
• the application server 13 is the conductor of the service: it manages the interactions between the various entities of the network making it possible to route the multimedia content 15 to the terminal of the called party. It is an information push procedure which involves the management of several complex entities in the communication network.
• This server 13 is such that: It manages the entities of the communication network in order to synchronize the signaling of the call (the ringing) and the multimedia content. - It adapts multimedia content 15 to the capacities of the called party's terminal 12 (screen size, colors, etc.).
• the data connection is established between: • the server 13 and the terminal of the called party 12 if the multimedia contents are stored by the server in the memory 14. • the terminal of the caller 11 and that of the called party 12 if the contents are stored on the terminal of the caller 11.
• the server 13 contains the application logic of the invention. He accesses the inventive databases and the personal databases of the callers. It retrieves all the necessary information from the various databases and servers to send the required information to the terminals of the called party and the calling party.

• the server 13 then manages the communication according to the choice of the called party: if the called party takes the call then the server establishes a voice communication. If the called party does not take the call, then the server 13 returns the caller to the called party's mailbox. When the called party listens to his messages, he can find a link to the multimedia content of the caller. The caller can thus choose a multimedia content 15 which is sent to his interlocutor (the called party) when the call is launched. This multimedia content 15 then appears without action by the called party and simultaneously with the arrival of the signaling for establishing voice (and multimedia) communication. A caller can therefore send information before voice (and multimedia) communication actually begins. He can thus transmit his identity, the subject of his appeal, etc. As illustrated in FIG.
• the method of the invention comprises the following steps: 1) first on the side of the calling party: a step 20 of choosing the called party: the calling party decides to call one of his contacts (the called party) either by using his directory or by direct dialing, - a step 21 of choosing multimedia content 15: this multimedia content 15 is associated with this call either by default, or by act, or a step 22 of viewing multimedia content 15 for the presentation of the caller to the called party in a default customization procedure, ie a step 23 of creation of multimedia content 15 for the presentation of the caller to called in a personalization procedure, - a step 24 of launching the call: the caller launches the call with the associated multimedia content 15, 2 ) then on the called party's side: a step 25 of signaling this call (for example ringing or vibration of the telephone) and simultaneous display of the multimedia content 15, ie a step 26 of establishing communication between the caller and the called party if the called party picks up (the multimedia content can remain on the display of the called party's terminal 12, or the

• the multimedia content 15 can be stored on the called party's terminal in the call log.
• the caller therefore has the possibility of choosing multimedia content 15, for example an image, photos, a video, a 2D / 3D graphic animation (2 dimensions / 3 dimensions), a text, a his ..., which will be sent as a preamble to a communication he wants to have with an interlocutor (called).
• the multimedia content considered 15 will be a graphic animation.
• the method of the invention therefore has the following characteristics: -
• the animation is displayed on the called party's terminal together with the sounding of the first ring or vibration of the terminal concerned without any action from the called party.
• the animation then remains by default displayed on the called party's terminal throughout the call. However, the called party can at any time during the call delete the animation from his terminal. When the communication is closed, the animation disappears. The called party can save it in the memory of their terminal. •
• the animation can be stored in the messaging system to reappear when it is consulted.
• the terminal can store the animation in the call log.
• the caller therefore has at his disposal a process which allows him to differentiate himself and to communicate more easily while the called party has an assistant to manage his calls. It is possible to associate an animation depending on the person called and / or depending on the situation. Personalization is therefore contextual. It is important to note that the personalization configured by the called party is not deleted. If there is both presentation of the call to the called party by the calling party and presentation configured by the called party, these can appear, for example, in two separate parts of the display of the called party's terminal. They can also appear successively. These are, in fact, complementary functions.
• Two additional customization modes are possible: - default customization, - service customization.
• the caller has the possibility of associating animations, which he has chosen, with one or more interlocutors.
• the communications it initiates are personalized by default, that is to say that with each communication, the animation chosen for this interlocutor (called) is sent to it.
• Personalization is made according to the called party. It is then very easy to modify the choice of animations carried out or to temporarily deactivate such customizations.
• Personalization on the act Personalization on the act makes it possible not only to personalize the presentation of the communication according to the called party but also according to the situation. In this case, the animation sent is only valid for a communication. That is to say, when making this call, the caller can choose to associate an animation for this specific situation. If a personalization had been predefined, personalization on the act takes precedence over the default personalization.
