The dispatching server is suitable for retrieving accessibility information indicating that the at least one storage server is accessible by the portable storage device. The portable storage device is suitable for, when connected to the terminal, sending identification information to the dispatching server. The dispatching server is suitable for, upon reception of the identification information, using the identification information for retrieving the accessibility information and for sending the accessibility information to the portable storage device. The portable storage device is suitable for, upon reception of the accessibility information from the dispatching server, using the accessibility information for establishing a connection with the at least one storage server and for allowing the terminal to access it. | 12-22-2011 |
20150324855 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING ADVERTISEMENT TO A USER OF A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Disclosed is a method for providing advertisement to a user of a communication network. An advertisement database stores an association between the identifier of a further user and at least one visual advertisement associated with and selected by the further user. When a communication session is set up in the communication network between the user and the further user, an advertisement manager uses the identifier of the further user for retrieving from the advertisement database a visual advertisement selected amongst the visual advertisements associated with the further user. The advertisement manager then transmits the selected visual advertisement to the user for display on a display of the user device. | 11-12-2015 |
