Abstract

A method is provided for rendering a personal message sent by a sender for a recipient. The method includes: receiving the personal message by a processing software component of a server of a communications network; detecting, by the server, a connection of the recipient to an information rendering space; and replacing an advertisement insert display by the message subsequently to the connection of the recipient as a function of at least one rendering parameter accompanying the message.

Claims (35)

1. A method for rendering a personal message, the method comprising:

a step of receiving the personal message by a processing software component of a server of a communications network, the personal message being sent by a sender terminal for a recipient terminal, wherein the sender terminal and the recipient terminal are terminals of users that are members of a group of user contacts;

after receiving the personal message from the sender terminal, a step of detecting, by the server, a connection of the recipient terminal to an information rendering space of a host web service;

a step of replacing, in a web page of the host web service, an advertisement insert display by the personal message, subsequently to the connection of the recipient terminal, as a function of at least one rendering parameter accompanying the personal message; and

before the step of receiving the personal message, creating the personal message by the user of the sender terminal, wherein creating comprises:

a step of the user of the sender terminal selecting through the sender terminal the at least one parameter of rendering the personal message; and

a step of transmitting the personal message accompanied by the at least one rendering parameter from the sender terminal to a web service for managing personal messages and connected to the communications network.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter of rendering the personal message belongs to the group consisting of:

a parameter of selection of at least one host web service on which the user of the sender terminal wishes the personal message to be displayed;

a temporal parameter;

a parameter of visibility of the personal message; and

a parameter of notification of the personal message.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises processing the personal message by a web service for managing personal messages connected to the communications network, the processing comprising:

a step of recording the personal message;

a step of identifying, as a function of the at least one rendering parameter, at least one server of the communications network having to render the personal message;

a step of transmitting the personal message to a processing software component of the at least one server.

4. The method according to claim 3 wherein the processing of the personal message by the web service for managing personal messages further comprises, prior to the step of transmitting the personal message:

a step of adapting a format for rendering the personal message as a function of at least one parameter of display of advertisement inserts of the at least one server.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program product stored thereon, wherein the computer program product comprises program code instructions for executing a method for rendering a personal message, when the code instructions are executed by a computer, wherein the method comprises:

a step of receiving the personal message and at least one rendering parameter by a processing software component of a server of a web service for managing personal messages in a communications network, the personal message and the at least one rendering parameter being sent by a sender terminal for a recipient terminal, wherein the sender terminal and the recipient terminal are terminals of users that are members of a group of user contacts;

after receiving the personal message from the sender terminal, a step of detecting, by the server, a connection of the recipient terminal to an information rendering space of a host web service; and

a step of replacing, in a web page of the host web service, an advertisement insert display by the personal message, subsequently to the connection of the recipient terminal, as a function of at least one rendering parameter accompanying the personal message,

wherein before the step of receiving the personal message, the user of the sender terminal has created the personal message by:

selecting through the sender terminal the at least one parameter of rendering the personal message; and

transmitting the personal message accompanied by the at least one rendering parameter from the sender terminal to the web service for managing personal messages.

6. A server for processing a personal message, wherein the server comprises:

a memory storing instructions; and

a processor configured by the instructions to perform:

receiving the personal message and at least one rendering parameter by a processing software component of the server, the personal message and the at least one rendering parameter being sent by a sender terminal for a recipient terminal, wherein the sender terminal and the recipient terminal are terminals of users that are members of a group of user contacts;

detecting a connection of the recipient terminal to an information rendering space of a host web service after receiving the personal message from the sender terminal; and

transmitting a request for replacing, in a web page of the host web service, an advertisement insert display by the personal message, subsequently to the connection of the recipient terminal, as a function of at least one rendering parameter accompanying the personal message,

wherein before the server receives the personal message, the user of the sender terminal has created the personal message by:

selecting through the sender terminal the at least one parameter of rendering the personal message; and

transmitting the personal message accompanied by the at least one rendering parameter from the sender terminal to a web service for managing personal messages and connected to the communications network.

7. The server according to claim 6 , further comprising means for adapting a format of the personal message as a function of at least one advertisement insert display parameter.
