A method for interacting with a virtual object in an immersive reality, a program using same, and an immersive reality device in which a user is able to interact with a virtual object. The method includes, when a virtual hand associated with a real hand of a user of the immersive reality device is in the proximity of a virtual object, detecting a continuous gesture of the real hand, the detection of the continuous gesture triggering gripping of the virtual object by the virtual hand. A simple and continuous gesture is thus associated with triggering the gripping of the virtual object, without placing the real hand in a position incompatible with this gripping in terms of perception by the user.
A method for managing the playback, by a playback device, of chunks of content which are accessible from content sources which are able to transmit chunks of the same content with a time lag. When the content from a first source is played back at a playback speed, referred to as a reference speed, receiving a command to rewind the content is followed by playing back chunks from a second source at a speed which is different from the reference speed, and by continuing to play back chunks originating from the first source when the chunks to be played back are available from the first source.

ANOMALY DETECTION FOR DEVICE APPLICATION MAINTENANCE
A method for monitoring a device in a communication network is described. The method includes obtaining an observation sequence from observations of a network stream involving the device, and implementing a given artificial intelligence model associated with a firmware version of a reference device, the given model being trained to produce a reconstructed sequence from the observation sequence and a previous observation sequence and to determine a reconstruction error between the reconstructed sequence and the observation sequence, an error lower than a threshold indicating that the device is operating in the network with said firmware version. The reconstructed sequence is produced as a function of intra-sequence relationships between elements of the observation sequence and inter-sequence relationships between the observation sequence and the previous observation sequence.

METHODS FOR GENERATING AND SELECTING A DIGITAL PASSPORT RELATING TO AN APPLICATION INTENDED TO BE DEPLOYED IN AT LEAST ONE COMPUTER ENTITY, CORRESPONDING DEVICES AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS
A method is described for generating, by an electronic device, at least one digital passport relating to an application intended to be deployed in at least one computer entity, the digital passport including at least one entry including information relating to at least one development environment in which the application is developed.
A method for establishing communication between at least two apparatuses in a communication network. Such a method includes, in an intermediate device: receiving, from one of the two apparatuses, referred to as first apparatus, a first message which is formatted in a first language associated with the first apparatus; generating, from the first message, a second message which is formatted in a second language associated with the other one of the two apparatuses, referred to as second apparatus, the second message corresponding to a translation of the first message into the second language, the generation being implemented by means of at least one artificial neural network; and transmitting the second message to the second apparatus.

A method for generating a graphical representation of a virtual hand is implemented as a function of a first set of parameters representing a first state and a first position of a virtual hand in a virtual environment, and as a function of a second set of parameters representing a geometry and a position of an object intended to be gripped by the hand. The method includes a determination of a fourth set of parameters representing a third state intermediate between the first state and a second state, and a third position between the first position and the second position. The hand grips the object in the first state or the second state. The third state allows generation of a graphical representation of the virtual hand from the first state at the first position to the second state at the second position, passing through the third state at the third position.
An information-processing device and a method for providing assistance in acquiring required textual data. The device: establishes a first semantic graph based at least on said required textual data; obtains textual data from data delivered by at least one source, and establishes at least a second semantic graph based on the obtained textual data; performs a search for an at least partial similarity between the first and second semantic graphs in order to identify at least part of the required textual data among the obtained textual data; and issues a recommendation on the basis of the identified textual data.
G06F 3/04883 - Interaction techniques based on graphical user interfaces [GUI] using specific features provided by the input device, e.g. functions controlled by the rotation of a mouse with dual sensing arrangements, or of the nature of the input device, e.g. tap gestures based on pressure sensed by a digitiser using a touch-screen or digitiser, e.g. input of commands through traced gestures for inputting data by handwriting, e.g. gesture or text
H04L 51/02 - User-to-user messaging in packet-switching networks, transmitted according to store-and-forward or real-time protocols, e.g. e-mail using automatic reactions or user delegation, e.g. automatic replies or chatbot-generated messages

Methods for monitoring and managing communicating objects, trusted device, server, and communicating objects
A method for monitoring communicating objects, carried out by a trusted equipment associated with a user. The monitoring method includes: detecting use of at least one persistent identifier by at least one communicating object; and triggering at least one action of jamming said use of said at least one persistent identifier by said at least one communicating object.
A method implemented by a decoding device for decoding views representing a scene from different positions or different view angles. The method includes: for a depth component of at least one view and for a current block of the depth component, the depth component being partitioned into at least one block: reading an information that indicates whether the current block is subdivided into smaller blocks, if the current block is subdivided into smaller blocks, decoding an information that specifies a depth interval associated with each smaller block, and if the current block is not subdivided into smaller blocks, decoding an information that specifies a depth interval associated with the current block.
