Description

Title of the invention: Method for adjusting communication modes, program and communication terminal using it Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for setting communication modes, and a communication terminal using the same. In particular, the invention relates to setting communication modes relative to a reduced communication mode. State of the art

[0002] For several years, means of communication have been multiplying, adding to traditional voice telephone communication modern communication solutions such as messages: SMS, emails, instant messages, etc. These modern communication solutions are becoming more and more numerous and widespread.

[0003] Every day, this results in an ever-increasing number of communications received per person. Thus, it is not uncommon to be interrupted in one's activities, particularly at work, during a sports session, etc., by messages received, for example, via instant messaging. While these communications solutions facilitate contact between people in the same group: employees of a company, members of a family, members of an association, etc., they also degrade living conditions, particularly working conditions.

[0004] In fact, certain tasks, for example writing a document, writing computer code, reading an article, a book, watching a video, sports training, meditation, etc. require being able to concentrate without interruption.

[0005] To this end, mobile phones, instant messaging services, etc. now offer users the ability to turn off their communication solution, in particular by manually switching to a specific “Do not disturb” or “Busy” communication mode in which the means of communication is put offline.

[0006] Nevertheless, it is tedious to systematically remember to put all of one's means of communication in "Do not disturb" mode before starting a task requiring a state of concentration. This can therefore lead to errors relating to the use of the "Do not disturb" mode. For example, the user may forget to anticipate such a task and therefore be interrupted because he or she forgot to activate the "Do not disturb" mode. Another user error is forgetting to deactivate the "Do not disturb" mode at the end of the task, isolating the user from his or her interlocutors via these communication solutions. In addition, all of these anticipations weigh on the user's mental load. Statement of the invention

[0007] One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy drawbacks of the state of the art.

[0008] An object of the invention is a method for adjusting communication modes of a communication terminal, the communication modes comprising at least one reduced communication mode, the adjustment of a communication mode comprising: - adjusting the communication terminal relative to a determined reduced communication mode as a function of a detected concentration state of a user of the communication terminal.

[0009] Thus, the setting relating to a reduced communication mode is automated, reducing the risks linked to the user forgetting to activate, respectively deactivate, a reduced communication mode, i.e. interruption of a user task reducing the user's efficiency in carrying out this task, respectively isolation of the user from communications.

[0010] Advantageously, the adjustment method comprises: - determining a reduced communication mode of at least one means of communication of the communication terminal based on a detected concentration state of the user of the communication terminal.

[0011] Thus, different concentration states can be determined, making it possible to activate distinct reduced communication modes depending on the determined concentration state. For example, a deep concentration state will trigger a complete cutoff of the communication means, while a light concentration state will trigger a reduced communication mode causing a partial cutoff of the communication means, in particular by implementing, for example, communication filtering or a silent mode for notifications that nevertheless appear on the interface of the communication terminal, etc.

[0012] Advantageously, the adjustment method comprises at least one adjustment among the following: - activate the determined reduced communication mode of the communication terminal based on a detected concentration state of the user; - deactivate the reduced communication mode determined based on a detection relating to a state of concentration of the user.

[0013] Thus:

[0014] Either a reduced communication mode of the communication terminal is automatically activated, reducing or even prohibiting any interruption of the user by a means of communication implemented by the communication terminal while the user is focused on a task. This therefore makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the user in carrying out this task.

[0015] Either a reduced communication mode of the communication terminal is automatically deactivated, avoiding isolation of the user from the communication means implemented by the communication terminal while the user is no longer focused on a task and therefore available to communicate. This therefore makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the user's exchanges since the communication means are accessible when the user is himself available to communicate.

[0016] Advantageously, the adjustment is triggered by detection of an event relating to the detected concentration state.

[0017] Thus, it is the entry into, or exit from, a state of concentration which triggers the automatic activation, or deactivation, of a reduced communication mode, reducing or even prohibiting any interruption of the user by a means of communication implemented by the communication terminal as soon as the user begins a task requiring a state of concentration, or limiting the isolation of communications to the time necessary for a task requiring a state of concentration.

[0018] Advantageously, the method for adjusting communication modes comprises: - detecting a state of concentration of the user of the communication terminal.

[0019] Advantageously, the method for adjusting communication modes comprises: - determining a detected concentration state of the user of the communication terminal.

[0020] Advantageously, a concentration state is defined by at least one parameter among the following: - a type of concentration associated with a type of task performed by the user; - a level of concentration.

[0021] Advantageously, the method for adjusting communication modes comprises: - monitoring the user of the communication terminal, the monitoring detecting the concentration state by analyzing recovered data relating to the user.

[0022] Advantageously, the monitoring analyzes measured neural signals.

[0023] Thus, the adjustment of the reduced communication modes is made more reliable because the concentration state is detected directly on the user. In addition, the measured neural signals also make it possible to make the determined concentration state more reliable.

[0024] Advantageously, the analysis of the measured neural signals is carried out according to a model established by learning.

[0025] Thus, the reliability of the adjustment of the reduced communication modes is improved because the detection, or even the determination, of the state of concentration of the use is personalized according to this learning.

[0026] Advantageously, the reduced communication mode comprises an action command from among the following actions: - block all notifications from all means of communication of the communication terminal; - block all communications with the communication terminal; - block notifications from at least one means of communication; - block communications using at least one means of communication; - filter notifications from at least one means of communication based on a predetermined filtering criterion; - filter communications using at least one means of communication based on a predetermined filtering criterion; - send automatic response.

[0027] Thus, blocking all notifications and / or all communications makes it possible to isolate the user during a task requiring concentration, thus preventing the means of communication from interrupting the user while carrying out this task. This not only allows the user to be more efficient in carrying out this task, but also to reduce user errors in carrying out this task.

[0028] Furthermore, blocking a means of communication makes it possible to reduce interruptions. For example, when the blocked means of communication is the one generating the greatest number of communications per day, or even during the time slot during which the blocking of the means of communication is implemented, this drastically reduces the risk of interruption of the user during a task requiring concentration while not completely isolating the user.

[0029] Finally, filtering and blocking allow the user to be isolated but nevertheless to be alerted of an important communication: high priority level, call from a child, a school, an emergency service, etc.

[0030] Advantageously, the reduced communication mode is a personalized mode.

[0031] Advantageously, the filtering criterion is a function of at least one parameter among the following: - the interlocutor of the incoming communication; - the arrival time of the incoming communication; - the priority level of the incoming communication.

[0032] Advantageously, according to an implementation of the invention, the different steps of the method according to the invention are implemented by software or computer program, this software comprising software instructions intended to be executed by a data processor of a device forming part of a communication terminal and being designed to control the execution of the different steps of this process.

[0033] The invention therefore also relates to a program comprising program code instructions for executing the steps of the method for adjusting communication modes according to the invention when said program is executed by a processor.

[0034] This program may use any programming language and be in the form of source code, object code, or intermediate code between source code and object code, such as in a partially compiled form or in any other desirable form.

[0035] An object of the invention is also a communication terminal comprising: - at least one communication means capable of putting a user of the communication terminal into communication with a contact; - a reduced communication mode regulator of the communication terminal, the regulator being capable of regulating, with respect to a determined reduced communication mode, at least one means of communication of the communication terminal as a function of a detected concentration state of a user of the communication terminal communication. Brief description of the drawings

[0036] The characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the description, given by way of example, and the figures relating thereto which represent:

[0037] [Fig. 1], a simplified diagram of the method of setting communication modes of a communication terminal according to the invention,

[0038] [Fig.2], a simplified diagram of a communication terminal according to the invention. Description of the embodiments

[0039] [Fig.l] illustrates a simplified diagram of the method for adjusting communication modes of a communication terminal according to the invention.

[0040] The method of setting CM_R communication modes of a communication terminal nication Tg sets one or more communication modes cmT, cmT of the terminal of communication You, or in particular one or more means of communication Word, Game] , [MC'tJpi...! of the communication terminal Tu. The modes of cmT communication, cmT includes at least one reduced communication mode cmr. Setting a communication mode CM_R including: - set CMR_T relative to a determined reduced communication mode cmr the communication terminal Tu according to a detected concentration state ec of a user U of the communication terminal.

[0041] The communication mode(s) cm=cm0, cmr of a communication terminal T u correspond(s) in particular to one or more communication modes cm=cmO, cm=cmr, applied to all means of communication {MC'tJpi...! of the communication terminal Tu.

[0042] In particular, the setting of a communication mode CM_R commands cm_cmd the implementation of the set communication mode cm0, cmr by the communication terminal Tu: cm_cmd=cm0, cm_cmd=cmr_trg. In particular, when the set communication mode is a reduced communication mode cmr, the setting of a communication mode CM_R triggers cmr_trg the activation by the communication terminal Tu of the reduced communication mode.

[0043] In particular, the CM_R adjustment method comprises: - determine CMR_DT a reduced communication mode cmr of at least one MC means of communication? from the communication terminal >1. J communication Tu according to a detected concentration state ec of the user U of the Tu communication terminal.

[0044] In particular, the CM_R adjustment method comprises at least one adjustment among the following: - activate CMR_ACT the reduced communication mode determined by the terminal cmr of communication Tu according to a detected concentration state ec of the user U; - disable CMR_DEA the reduced communication mode determined cmr in function of a DTCT detection relative to a concentration state ec of the user U.

[0045] In particular, the CM_R adjustment method comprises: - determine CMR_DT a reduced communication mode cmr of at least one means of communication MC^ / e[ 1J]> from the communication terminal communication Tu according to a detected concentration state ec of the user U of the communication terminal Tu, and - activate CMR_ACT the reduced communication mode determined by the terminal cmr of communication You.

[0046] In particular, the CM_R setting is triggered r_trg by a detection EC_DTCT of an event relating to the detected concentration state ec: r_trgf(evtec).

[0047] In particular, the setting CM_R activates CMR_ACT the reduced communication mode determined cmr upon detection EC_DTCT of an entry evt=in_ec of the user U in the detected concentration state ec. Thus, it is the entry into a concentration state which triggers the automatic activation of a reduced communication mode reducing or even prohibiting any interruption of the user by a means of communication implemented by the communication terminal as soon as the user starts a task requiring a state of concentration. For example, entering a state of concentration automatically activates the switching off of one or more means of communication of the communication terminal or the silencing of the communication terminal. This will guarantee a period of uninterrupted activity.

[0048] In particular, when at least one communication means MClT of the communication terminal Tu is in a reduced communication mode cmr, in particular following an activation CMR_ACT of the reduced communication mode cmr, the setting CM_R deactivates CMR_DEA the determined reduced communication mode cmr upon detection EC_DTCT of a stop evt=stp_ec of the detected concentration state ec according to which the reduced communication mode cmr was determined.

[0049] Thus, a reduced communication mode of the communication terminal is automatically deactivated, avoiding isolation of the user from the communication means implemented by the communication terminal when the user is no longer focused on a task and therefore available to communicate. This therefore makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the user's exchanges since the communication means are accessible when the user is himself available to communicate.

[0050] In particular, the CM_R adjustment method comprises: - detect EC_DTCT a concentration state ec of the user U of the communication terminal Tu.

[0051] In particular, the CM_R adjustment method comprises: - determine EC_DT a detected concentration state ec of the user U of the communication terminal Tu.

[0052] Thus, different concentration states can be determined, making it possible to activate distinct reduced communication modes depending on the determined concentration state. For example, a deep concentration state will trigger a complete cutoff of the communication means, while a light concentration state will trigger a reduced communication mode causing a partial cutoff of the communication means, in particular by implementing, for example, communication filtering or a silent mode for notifications that nevertheless appear on the interface of the communication terminal, etc.

[0053] In particular, a concentration state ec is defined by at least one parameter among the following: - a concentration type tyc associated with a type of task performed by user U; - a concentration level cl.

[0054] Indeed, there are different states of concentration which differ in particular depending on the task being performed. Tasks requiring concentration are numerous and varied, for example reading a document, writing a document, solving of a problem, etc. These various tasks can be measured in particular via different types of indicators in the neural signals. In particular, the EC_DTCT concentration state detection will detect: - a state of concentration linked to reading by analyzing neural signals from the frontal cortex having a stable frequency of 15-18Hz; - a state of concentration linked to the resolution of a problem by analyzing neural signals from the frontal cortex presenting an increase in their level around 35Hz.

[0055] In particular, the EC_DTCT concentration state detection will detect a given concentration state based on the frequencies and levels of the neural signals.

[0056] Thus all frequency bands are considered as characteristics because the tasks considered are linked to all ranges of neuronal frequencies: alpha, beta, range, theta, and delta.

[0057] In particular, the CM_R adjustment method comprises: - monitoring EC_MNT the user U of the communication terminal T, the monitoring EC_MNT detecting the concentration state ec by analyzing retrieved data dm relating to the user U. The retrieved data dm relating to the user U include physiological data of the user: heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, sweat rate, etc., retrieved data relating to a device of the user terminal: input frequency, scrolling frequency, etc., neural signals measured by connected objects worn by the user, such as a connected watch, a mixed reality headset, a neural interface, etc. or connected objects co-located with the user.

[0058] Thus, the communication mode is automatically regulated, in particular the activation of a reduced communication mode, by measuring the user's concentration, in particular the user's concentration level.

[0059] In particular, the EC_MNT monitoring analyzes DM_ANZ of the measured neural signals sn.

[0060] Thus, the adjustment of the reduced communication modes is made more reliable because the concentration state is detected directly on the user. In addition, the measured neural signals also make it possible to make the determined concentration state more reliable.

[0061] Certain indicators present in neural signals, also called EEG signals, make it possible in particular to measure a person's level of concentration. Thus, the analysis of neural signals makes it possible at least to detect a state of concentration of the user.

[0062] In particular, neural signals are captured in the frontal cortex area.

[0063] In particular, the DM_ANZ analysis of the measured neural signals sn is carried out according to a model established by learning.

[0064]

[0065]

[0066]

[0067] Thus, the reliability of the adjustment of reduced communication modes is improved because the detection, or even the determination, of the state of concentration of the use is personalized according to this learning. For example, the analysis, detection, or even determination of concentration states uses a deep learning model trained on the neural signals measured in the frontal cortex of either the terminal user (for personalized analysis) or different subjects, during different tasks requiring concentration. The resulting model can be used to detect whether the user is performing one of N tasks requiring concentration. In particular, the reduced communication mode cmr includes an action command a among the following actions: - block ntf_stp all notifications from all means of communication [from the communication terminal Tu: nft_stp(T); - block com_stp all communications with the TG communication terminal: com_stp(T); - block ntf_stp notifications from at least one means of communication 7 \ pi.ji - block com_stp from communications using at least one means of communication nication: b ,, b I com - st PH m y ] - filter fit ntf notifications from at least one means of communication |AfC^|je[U] according to a predetermined filtering criterion fc: . / =1.. J fit ntf, {MC'tj / e[u], fc - filter fit of com communications using at least one means of communication |MCj j ye[ 1 / ] in conjunction with a predetermined filtering criterion fc: end com, {MCb}, / e[ u], fc ' >L..J ' - send nsw auto reply. Thus, blocking all notifications and / or all communications allows the user to be isolated during a task requiring concentration, thus preventing the means of communication to interrupt the user while performing this task. This not only allows the user to be more efficient in performing this task, but also reduces user errors in performing this task.

[0068] Furthermore, blocking a means of communication makes it possible to reduce interruptions. For example, when the blocked means of communication is the one generating the greatest number of communications per day, or even during the time slot during which the blocking of the means of communication is implemented, this drastically reduces the risk of interruption of the user during a task requiring concentration while not completely isolating the user.

[0069] Finally, filtering, like blocking, allows the user to be isolated but nevertheless to be alerted of an important communication: high priority level, call from a child, a school, an emergency service, etc.

[0070] In particular, the reduced communication mode cmr is a personalized mode.

[0071] The custom mode is either a mode determined based on a profile of the user, or a reduced communication mode of which at least one parameter is selected by the user, in particular by means of an input interface, such as an input interface, a touch interface, a neural interface, a voice interface, etc. Thus, each user will be able to adjust the communication reduction.

[0072] In particular, the CM_R adjustment method comprising a selection P_SLCT by the user of a parameter cmr_p relating to the determined reduced communication mode cmr from among the following: - a means of communication MC? on which the reduced communication mode cmr operates; - an action a; - at least one parameter of an action has among + the type of action tya, including blocking, filtering, total, partial, automatic response; + the object on which the action applies: communications, notifications; + if applicable the filtering criterion.

[0073] In particular, the filtering criterion fc is a function of at least one parameter among the following: - interlocutor A of the incoming icom communication; - the arrival time h of the incoming icom communication; - the priority level pl of the incoming icom communication.

[0074] In a particular embodiment of the adjustment method, the adjustment method is implemented in the form of a program comprising program code instructions for executing the steps of the method for adjusting switching modes. nication according to the invention when said program is executed by a processor.

[0075] In particular, before or during a setting of a communication mode CM_R of a communication terminal of the user U, the following is implemented: - retrieving, obtaining RTV data relating to a user U (not shown).

[0076] In particular, the RTV retrieval of data relating to a user U comprises one or more of the following steps: - capture CPT data relating to a user U (not shown); - measure MST data relating to a user U (not shown); - load LD of saved data relating to a user U (not shown). The data relating to the user U are data corresponding to the instant TG at which the communication mode setting CM_R is implemented or triggered.

[0077] The captured and / or measured data dm are in particular neural signals sn, physiological data, etc.; the loaded data are in particular a history of the data captured / measured at the same instant Tu on the same day of previous weeks (due to the recurrence of a schedule), or during the same type of previous task in the diary, statistical data (averages, most probable data) established from previously retrieved data, etc.

[0078] In particular, a sensor C, in particular a sensor of a connected watch, a neural interface BCI, etc., implements the CPT capture and / or the MST measurement of data relating to the user U.

[0079] In particular, when the data recovery is implemented by a device separate from the user terminal, before or during a setting of a communication mode CM_R of a communication terminal of the user U, the following is implemented: - receive the retrieved data dm.

[0080] Optionally, the CM_R communication mode setting includes the DM_RCV reception of the recovered data (not illustrated by [Fig.l]).

[0081] In particular, the recovered data dm are then analyzed DM_ANZ.

[0082] And, a concentration state ec is detected EC_DTCT either directly from the retrieved data dm, or indirectly. When the detection EC_DTCT detects a concentration state indirectly, it detects in particular the concentration state from analysis data da provided by the analysis DM_ANZ. The detection detects one or more concentration states of the user U and provides an indication that the user is in a concentration state, possibly without specifying which one.

[0083] And, possibly, a concentration state ec is determined EC_DT, in particular following a detection of a concentration state EC_DTCT, from either directly the recovered data dm, or indirectly. When the determination EC_DT determines a concentration state indirectly, it determines in particular the state of concentration from analysis data da provided by the DM_ANZ analysis. The EC_DT determination determines in which concentration state the user U is at the time Tu of RTV recovery of the dm data. Thus, the EC_DT determination makes it possible to distinguish in particular the concentration level cl, and / or the type of concentration tyc from a detected concentration state ec.

[0084] In particular, the communication mode setting method CM_R monitors EC_MNT of the user U, in particular the retrieved data dm relating to the user U to indicate when the user U is in a concentration state ec. In particular, EC_MNT monitoring includes one or more of the following steps: - analyze the recovered dm data - detect a state of concentration ec, evtec; - determine a concentration state ec=f(tyc,cl).

[0085] In particular, the communication mode setting CM_R comprises a setting in a reduced communication mode CMR_R possibly triggered r_trg by the detection of a concentration state EC_DTCT and / or a monitoring of the concentration state of the user EC_MNT.

[0086] In particular, the setting in a reduced communication mode CMR_R comprises a determination of a reduced communication mode CM_R as a function of a detected concentration state ec, or even of a determined concentration state.

[0087] Optionally, the determination of a reduced communication mode CMR_DT is furthermore a function of at least one parameter selected ps_cmr by the user U. In particular, the setting in a reduced communication mode CMR_R comprises a selection P_SLCT by the user U in particular of a reduced communication mode parameter p_cmr.

[0088] In particular, the determination of a reduced communication mode CMR_DT comprises at least one step among the following: - read CMR_RD (not shown), in a reduced communication mode base BCMR, a reduced communication mode cmr from among all the reduced communication modes recorded in the BCMR base according to a detected concentration state ec, or even a determined concentration state, - modify a reduced communication mode cmr', for example a reduced communication mode lu, according to at least one parameter selected ps_cmr by the user U.

[0089] In particular, the determination of a reduced communication mode CMR_DT is carried out according to a prior choice of the user, in particular recorded in the reduced communication mode database in which communication modes associated with one or more concentration states are recorded. For example, if the user wishes, the adjustment method according to the invention may, depending on the user's choice and his state of concentration, cut off means of communication or put them in "Do not disturb" mode, or even send an automatic message to the person who is trying to contact him. Thus, the user sets in advance the level of communication reduction that he is able to accept when carrying out a given task while maintaining sufficient concentration capacity to carry out this task as well as possible.

[0090] In particular, the setting of the reduced communication mode CMR_R comprises, when the user is in a state of concentration ec: - activate CMR_ACT the reduced communication mode determined cmr. In particular, the activation of CMR_ACT triggers cmr_trg the implementation by the communication terminal T, or even by the means of communication indicated by the reduced communication mode cmr, of the reduced communication mode determined cmr.

[0091] In particular, the setting of the reduced communication mode CMR_R comprises, when the user is not in a state of concentration: - deactivate CMR_DEA a reduced communication mode cmr. In particular, deactivating CMR_DEA triggers cm_cmd the exit from the reduced communication mode cmr of the communication terminal T, or even by one or more means of communication, and possibly its return to a nominal communication mode cm0: cm_cmd=cm0.

[0092] The nominal communication mode is a communication mode in which no communication or notification from the terminal is blocked or filtered.

[0093] For example, when the detection of a concentration state EC_DTCT and / or a monitoring of the concentration state of the user EC_MNT detects a specific event relating to the concentration state, it triggers r_trg=f(evtec) a predetermined CMR_R adjustment depending on this event evtec.

[0094] In particular, when the evtec event is the start of a concentration state, the setting in a reduced communication mode CMR_R comprises: - a determination of a reduced communication mode CM_R as a function of a detected concentration state ec, or even of a determined concentration state, - an activation CMR_ACT of the determined reduced communication mode cmr triggering cmr_trg the implementation by the communication terminal T, or even by the means of communication indicated by the reduced communication mode cmr, of the determined reduced communication mode cmr.

[0095] In particular, when the evtec event is the end, the stopping of a concentration state, the setting of the reduced communication mode CMR_R comprises: - a CMR_DEA deactivation of the reduced communication mode determined cmr commanding the end of the reduced communication mode cm_cmd, or even the return to a nominal communication mode cm_cmd=cm0, of the communication terminal Tu.

[0096] Thus, the communication mode setting method CM_R triggers a communication mode implementation method CM_X implementing the communication mode cm = cm0, cmr provided by the communication mode command cm_cmd.

[0097] In particular, the method for implementing communication mode CM_X comprises: - act CM_A on incoming icom communications, in particular incoming mssg messages and / or incoming ic calls from one or more means of communication of the communication terminal Tu.

[0098] The CM_A action on incoming icom communications includes in particular: - block incoming COM_STP communications; - block notifications of incoming NTF_STP communications; - filter FLT incoming icom communications and / or notifications of incoming icom_ntf communications; - send NSW to the initiating terminal Ts of the incoming communication icom a response message mssgu, mssgu(cmr) in particular depending on the reduced communication mode cmr implemented by the communication terminal Tu of the user U.

[0099] Incoming icom communications are communications sent by an initiator terminal Ts of a caller and / or sender S via a communication network to the communication terminal TG of the user U.

[0100] In particular, the method for implementing communication mode CM_X comprises: - select A_SLCT: + directly relay incoming icom communication when the CM_R communication mode setting commands a nominal communication mode cm_cmd=cm0 + at least one CM_A action among the actions COM_STP, NTF_STP, FLT, NSW of the CM_X communication mode implementation depending on the reduced communication mode cmr controlled by the CM_R communication mode setting, when the CM_R communication mode setting controls the triggering of a reduced communication mode: cm_cmd = cmr_trg.

[0101] The CM_A action notably comprises at least one of the following actions: - block notifications of incoming NTF_STP communications; - block incoming COM_STP communications; - filter incoming FLT notifications and / or communications; - send NSW an automatic response to the initiating communication terminal Ts of the incoming communication.

[0102] In particular, the blocking of NTF_STP notifications, respectively the blocking of COM_STP communication, blocks: - all notifications of incoming communications, respectively all incoming communications, on the communication terminal Tu of the user U; - all notifications of incoming communications, respectively all incoming communications, via one or more means of communication determined by the communication terminal TG of the user U.

[0103] In particular, the method for implementing communication mode CM_X comprises: - reproduce RPR a notification of an incoming communication and / or an incoming communication.

[0104] In particular, when the communication mode setting CM_R commands a nominal communication mode cm_cmd=cm0, the reproduction RPR reproduces any notification nfts of incoming communication and / or the incoming communication mssgs, regardless of the sender S of the incoming communication, in particular, a notification of a relayed incoming communication and / or a relayed incoming communication.

[0105] In particular, when the communication mode setting CM_R controls the triggering of a reduced communication mode: cm_cmd = cmr_trg, the RPR reproduction reproduces: - only incoming communications icoms, icoms=mssgs, icoms=ics when notifications are blocked NTF_STP by CM_X communication mode implementation;

[0106] - only ntfs notifications of incoming communications when the commu communications are blocked COM_STP by the CM_X communication mode implementation;

[0107] - only notifications of authorized and / or priority incoming communications ritaries, and / or incoming communications authorized and / or prioritized by the FLT filtering of the CM_X communication mode implementation;

[0108] - no incoming communication notification, nor any incoming communication when notifications and communications are blocked NTF_STP, COM_STP by CM_X communication mode implementation.

[0109] [Fig.2] illustrates a simplified diagram of a communication terminal according to the invention.

[0110] The communication terminal 1 comprises: - at least one means of communication 101, 102, ..., 101 capable of putting a user U of the communication terminal 1 into communication with an interlocutor S; - a regulator 14 of communication modes of the communication terminal 1, the regulator 14 being capable of adjusting, in relation to a determined reduced communication mode, at least one means of communication of the communication terminal as a function of a detected concentration state of a user of the communication terminal.

[0111] The communication modes cmT, cmiT comprise at least one reduced communication mode cmr.

[0112] In particular, the communication mode regulator 14 comprises a reduced communication mode regulator 141. The reduced communication mode regulator 141 is capable of setting the communication terminal Tu to a determined reduced communication mode cmr as a function of a detected concentration state ec of a user U of the communication terminal.

[0113] In particular, the communication means 101, 102, ..., 101 are capable of receiving at least one icom communication originating from a terminal 2 initiating the communication via a communication network 3. The communication terminal 2 is a communication terminal of a contact S, in particular a caller, a message sender, etc.
