Embodiment Construction

[0038]The invention relates to a method for managing the standby transition of communication equipment connected to a communication network, such as a local area network, and in particular a multi-link network, in which equipment is associated with several connections between network terminal equipment. In the specific case of a local or home network, a terminal device means any device capable of processing digital data and used by a user through a user interface, such as an integrated access device for a home network, a set-top box, a computer, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a printer, etc.

[0039] further reference figure 1 , which illustrates an example of the multi-link home network implementing the invention. This network consists of two connections between end devices:

[0040] The first connection "IAD-PLC1-PLC2-STB" connects the integrated access device IAD to the multimedia set-top box STB through the modems PLC1 and PLC2;

[0041] ●The second connection "IAD-PLC1-P...

Abstract

The invention concerns a management method for putting a piece of communication equipment (CPL2) involved in a plurality of connections between terminal devices (IAD, STB, PC) of a communication network in standby, the method comprising the following steps: - detecting (EV FIN CBB) that one of said connections is switching from an active state, in which data is transmitted via said connection, to an inactive state, in which no data is transmitted via said connection; - keeping (EV / M CBB) the communication equipment switched on if at least one other of said connections is in an active state; - putting the communication equipment (MV) on standby if none of said connections is in an active state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication, and more particularly to making a communication device connected to a network in a standby state. When the network is composed of multiple links, it particularly relates to a local home network. The communication device may be connected to a plurality of network terminal devices. Connection related. Background technique [0002] Transitioning a communication device to a standby state requires it to transition from a wake-up mode, where all functions of the device are available resulting in nominal power consumption, to a sleep mode, where the device consumes relatively little power at the expense of reduced operating functions electricity. [0003] Conventional communication devices go into standby mode autonomously. A communication device follows an internal procedure usually associated with a timing system: after a predetermined time when the communication device no longer receives messag...
