Abstract

A method for modifying a multimedia content received by at least one first communication terminal from a second communication terminal. The method is implemented by a modification device and includes: obtaining at least one first datum representative of a multimedia sequence defined by a time frame of the multimedia content; obtaining at least one second datum representative of the activity of a user on the first terminal during the time frame; and modifying the multimedia content according to the result of the comparison of the first datum with the second datum.

Claims (26)

1 . A method for modifying a multimedia content received by at least one first communication terminal from a second communication terminal during a videoconference session, said method being implemented by a modification device and comprising:

a first act of obtaining at least one first datum representative of a multimedia sequence defined by a time frame of said multimedia content;

a second act of obtaining at least one second datum representative of a content used or produced by a user on said first terminal during said time frame via an application other than the one used for the multimedia content, said content not being shared during said videoconference session; and

an act of modifying said multimedia content according to a result of a comparison of said first datum with said second datum.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modification act is followed by an act of provision of said modified multimedia content.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first datum is obtained from a semantic analysis of the content of said multimedia sequence.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the application is run on said first terminal.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modification act comprises transmitting a request to modify said multimedia content to said second terminal.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modification act comprises changing at least one parameter of said first terminal.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modification act comprises changing at least one parameter of a computer software rendering said multimedia content, said software being run on said first terminal.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modification act is a first modification and is followed by a second modification act, which is a reverse of the first modification act, triggered by recognition of at least one keyword in an audio component of the multimedia content.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , comprising executing the method at regular intervals.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the application other than the one used for the multimedia content is selected from the group consisting of an instant messaging application, an email application, a text processing software application, an operating system of the first terminal, and a document editing software application.

11 . A device for modifying a multimedia content received by at least one first communication terminal from a second communication terminal during a videoconference session, wherein the device comprises:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor configure the device to:

obtain at least one first datum representative of a multimedia sequence defined by a time frame of said multimedia content;

obtain at least one second datum representative of a content used or produced by a user on said first terminal during said time frame via an application other than the one used for the multimedia content, said content not being shared during said videoconference session; and

modify said multimedia content according to a result of a comparison of said first datum with said second datum.

12 . A terminal comprising the device for modifying a multimedia content according to claim 11 .

13 . The device according to claim 11 , wherein the application other than the one used for the multimedia content is selected from the group consisting of an instant messaging application, an email application, a text processing software application, an operating system of the first terminal, and a document editing software application.

14 . A non-transitory computer readable medium instructions for implementing a method for modifying a multimedia content received by at least one first communication terminal from a second communication terminal during a videoconference session, when the program is run by a processor of a modification device, said method comprising:

a first act of obtaining at least one first datum representative of a multimedia sequence defined by a time frame of said multimedia content;

a second act of obtaining at least one second datum representative of a content used or produced by a user on said first terminal during said time frame via an application other than the one used for the multimedia content, said content not being shared during said videoconference session; and

an act of modifying said multimedia content according to a result of a comparison of said first datum with said second datum.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium instructions according to claim 14 , wherein the application other than the one used for the multimedia content is selected from the group consisting of an instant messaging application, an email application, a text processing software application, an operating system of the first terminal, and a document editing software application.
