Description

Communication terminal, direct neural interface, communication establishment method, management method, and program implementing them

[0001] The invention relates to a communication terminal, a direct neural interface, a method for establishing communication and a management method. In particular, it relates to the use of neural signals provided by the direct neural interface when establishing communication between a communication terminal and a destination communication terminal via a communication network. State of the art

[0002] Today, establishing communication between two people using communication terminals can be done in many ways.

[0003] Conventionally, communication terminals are landline, mobile, VoIP, smartphone, etc. telephones on which the calling user dials a telephone number of a called telephone, also called a destination telephone used by a person to whom the communication is being established; or selects a contact from a directory, the contact corresponding to a person to whom the communication is being established and having an associated telephone number.

[0004] A more current solution for establishing communication is through a social network, such as WhatsApp TM , Teams TM , etc. using a telephone or computer by selecting the contact from a directory, including a list of contacts saved in the social network.

[0005] The directory can be a directory of contacts of the calling phone, a company directory, a directory of a service provider, for example of the white pages, yellow pages, etc. The disadvantage of such directories containing a large number of entries (i.e., registered contacts) is that it is laborious to find the contact with whom the calling user wishes to establish communication. To simplify the selection of the contact in the directory, some directories offer to reduce the list of contacts to be selected by entering the first letters of the name of the contact with whom the calling user wishes to establish communication.

[0006] However, this causes a delay in establishing communication, which can be slightly reduced by this solution of entering the first letters of the name, but which still remains. In addition, the greater the number of entries in a directory, the more likely it is that a contact will be selected from these directory entries, and therefore that a communication will be established incorrectly. Entering the first letters of the name, reducing the number of selectable entries, reduces this risk of error but does not eliminate it.

[0007] In addition, selecting the contact in a directory requires the use of a human-machine interface, such as a mouse, a touch screen, a keyboard, etc., which mobilizes the hand and / or fingers for a certain time. However, this manual selection can be difficult or even impossible depending on the context of the calling user when establishing the communication. For example, the calling user is already using his communication terminal for another task, in particular he is already working on a document (text, drawing, etc.). In this use case, either the establishment of the communication will be delayed until the end of the current task by the user, or the current task will be suspended while the contact is selected for establishing the communication.More generally, when establishing communication, the user's hands are not always available: manual interaction with the communication terminal for a task in progress, manual work, disability, etc. In all cases, this will cause at least a delay in one of the calling user's tasks: either the task in progress or establishing communication.

[0008] One solution is to use a voice interface to select contacts from the directory. This way, the current task is not delayed and / or communication can be established without delay, even in the case of a disability. However, this solution is not usable in certain contexts: noisy context, inappropriate environment (meeting, confidentiality issue, etc.), disability, etc.

[0036] Illustrates a simplified diagram of a communication architecture comprising a communication terminal according to the invention.

[0037] The communication terminal 11 comprises: - a first neural signal analyzer 12 capable of determining a destination user UD as a function of a neural signal sn of a calling user UA using the communication terminal 11, the first neural signal analyzer 12 being capable of triggering a connection, via a communication network 3, of the communication terminal 11 with a destination communication terminal 12 associated with the determined destination user UD.

[0038] To implement the invention, the communication terminal of the calling user is equipped according to the invention. In the example illustrated by the, the calling user is the user referenced UA and his communication terminal is the communication terminal referenced 11. Thus, the calling user UA can request to trigger a call from his communication terminal 11 to a communication terminal 12 of a recipient user UD simply by perceiving or remembering data relating to this recipient user UD, such as an image, a text (name and / or first name, nickname, etc.), voice data from the recipient user UD.The analyzer 12 of the communication terminal 11 of the calling user UA analyzes the neural signal of the calling user UA corresponding to this perception or recollection and determines, based on the analyzed neural signal, the recipient user US associated with the data perceived or remembered by the calling user UA.

[0039] Generally, several communication terminals 11, 12 of a communication architecture such as the communication architecture illustrated by can be equipped according to the invention. Thus, at another time (not illustrated by), the user UD can be a calling user using a communication terminal 12 according to the invention to be put in communication with another destination user: either the user UA, or a user not illustrated by, simply by perceiving or thinking about data relating to this new destination user. Then, the communication terminal 12, since it is according to the invention, will be connected to the communication terminal of the destination user determined by a neural signal analyzer of the communication terminal 12 according to a neural signal of the calling user UD corresponding to this perception or thought.

[0040] In particular, the communication terminal 11, respectively 12, comprises a comparator 11, 121 of a signature of the neural signal sg(sn) of the calling user UA, respectively UD, with at least one signature sg m of a neuronal signal sn m of the calling user previously associated with a contact user Um of the calling user. The first neural signal analyzer 12 being able to determine the recipient user UD among contact users U of the calling user UA based on the result rc provided by the comparator 11, 121.

[0041] In particular, the first neural signal analyzer 12 comprises at least one device 122 among the following: - a neural network 122 RN ;- an intelligence simulator 122 IA , also called artificial intelligence device.

[0042] In particular, the communication terminal 11 comprises: - a connection interface 15 capable of connecting, via a communication network 3, the communication terminal 1 1avec le terminal de communication destinataire 12associé à l’utilisateur destinataire déterminé UD.

[0043] In particular, the communication terminal 11, respectively 12, comprises a recorder 18 of contact users, the recorder 18 of contact users being capable of recording data relating to a neural signal dn u , sn u , sg u of the user of the communication terminal 11 in association with a data u relating to a user contact U.

[0044] In particular, the data of u relating to a contact user U includes one or more of the following data: - an image of the contact user i u , including a photograph, an avatar, a logo, etc.; - voice data of the contact user v u ;- a user ID contact idu .

[0045] In particular, the communication terminal 11 comprises a receiver 10 from among the following: - a receiver 10 of a neural signal sn of the calling user UA using the communication terminal 11 coming from a direct neural interface 2 connected to the communication terminal 11; - a receiver 10 of a signature sg(sn) of a neural signal of the calling user UA using the communication terminal 11 coming from a direct neural interface 2 connected to the communication terminal 11.

[0046] In particular, the communication terminal 11 comprises an input interface 16 by means of which the calling user UA interacts with his communication terminal 11. The interaction command a may be a navigation command a(bw) in an Internet site, a reading command of all or part of a contact directory 13 (the contact directory comprising a set of contacts for which one or more data relating to contacts are stored um ), etc.

[0047] In a particular embodiment, the interaction of the calling user triggers in particular the reproduction of data to be reproduced dr by the communication terminal 11. In particular, the communication terminal 11 comprises a reproduction interface 17 capable of reproducing data to be reproduced dr in particular as a function of the interaction command of the calling user UA with the input interface 16. For example, when the interaction command a is a navigation command a(bw) in an Internet site, the input interface 16 triggers the reproduction by the reproduction interface 17 of an Internet page in particular by transmitting to the reproduction interface the data to be reproduced corresponding to the Internet page possibly comprising at least one piece of data relating to a contact user u m : . In case the interaction command is a read command of all or part of a contact directory 13, the reproduction interface 17 reproduces this part of the contact directory: , namely all or part of the data relating to each of the contact users in this part of the directory, in particular in the form of a displayed list of names and contact nicknames …; or in the form of a photo album of photographs or avatars contacts; or in the form of a series of voicemails from contacts ; etc. Thus, the calling user perceives a stimulus relating in particular to at least one contact, respectively a stimulus relating to a contact appearing in an Internet page st(u m ), one or more stimuli relating to contacts in the directory section Or , etc.

[0048] In particular, following the perception or recollection of data relating to a contact user by the calling user UA, the receiver 10 receives a relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the user calling UA. This signal relative to sn to a neural signal is in particular one of the following signals: the neural signal sn of the calling user UA, a signature sg(sn), sg of the neural signal of the calling user UA, etc.: s sn =sn, s sn =sg(sn)…

[0049] In particular, the receiver 10 receives the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA when the calling user perceives or thinks of a contact user U pre-recorded in the communication terminal 11 and / or a contact base, such as a contact directory, accessible by the communication terminal 11, for example via the Internet.

[0050] In particular, the user UA perceives a contact user, in particular following a reproduction of a stimulus relating to the contact user st(u), either by looking at a photograph of the contact user or an image of an avatar of the contact user on a physical medium (newspaper, poster, etc.), a screen of a communication terminal (his own or that of a third party), a television, etc.; or by listening to a voice signal from the contact user (in particular a voice message or any vocal sound produced by the contact user, etc.); or by looking at or listening to an identifier of the contact user (in particular an official identifier, such as his first and last name, or a social network identifier, such as a pseudonym or an alias, or a numeric or alphanumeric identifier, etc.); etc.

[0051] In particular, user UA thinks of contact user U by remembering an element relating to the contact user such as their face, one of their tattoos, their avatar, their voice, their first and last name, their nickname, etc.

[0052] Optionally, to reduce listening to the user's neural signals, the first analyzer 12 and, if applicable, the comparator 11, 121, and possibly the receiver 10 are activated when the calling user UA requests a communication establishment at the communication terminal 11 either by input, or by voice command, or by neural command, etc.

[0053] In particular, the receiver 10 provides the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the user calling UA to the first analyzer 12.

[0054] Eventually, either comparator 11 processes the relative signal s snto a neural signal from the calling user UA and transmits the result of the comparison rc to the first analyzer 12, i.e. the first analyzer 12 comprising the comparator 121 receives the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA of the receiver 10 and the comparator 121 processes this relative signal s sn to a neural signal and provides the first analyzer 12 with the result of the comparison rc.

[0055] In particular, the comparator 11, 121 compares the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA received from the receiver 10 to one or more relative signals s sn m to a neural signal from the calling user UA recorded in association with one or more contact users Um in particular in a contact base, such as a contact base 13 implemented in the communication terminal 11.

[0056] The contact database therefore constitutes a set of data relating to contact users {Um} m . The relative signals s sn m to a neural signal of the calling user UA recorded in association with one or more contact users Um are in particular neural signals sn m of the calling user UA recorded in association with one or more contact users Um, or sg signatures m , sg(sn m ) : sg m = sg(sn m) des signaux neuronaux snmde l’utilisateur appelant UA enregistrés en association avec un ou plusieurs utilisateurs contacts Um.

[0057] In particular, the comparator 11, 121 provides the result of this, or even these, comparisons to the first analyzer 12 rc = c(sn,{sn m} m ), rc = c(sg,{sg m} m ). In particular, alternatively, the comparator 11, 121 thus searches among the contact users {Um} m of the calling user UA the contact user Um to which a relative signal s is associated sn mto a neural signal sn m of the calling user UA.

[0058] In particular, the first analyzer 12 processes the relative signal s sn to a neural signal of the calling user UA received from the receiver 10 and / or the result rc provided by the comparator 11, 121 to determine the contact user Um corresponding to the neural signal of the calling user UA. In particular, a neural network 122 RN and / or an intelligence simulator 122 IA performs this processing of the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA received from the receiver 10 and / or from the result rc provided by the comparator 11, 121.

[0059] The first analyzer 12 will then provide the contact user UM determined as corresponding to the neural signal sn of the calling user UA as the recipient user UD of the connection to be established. In particular, the first analyzer 12 will provide the connection interface 15 either simply with an identifier relating to the recipient of the connection, such as an identifier of the recipient user id UD or an identifier of a communication terminal of the recipient user id T (UD) ; or a connection command containing an identifier relating to the recipient of the connection.

[0060] In particular, the connection interface receiving an identifier relating to the recipient of the connection will require a connection with the communication terminal of the recipient user cnx_rq(T( UD )). If necessary, it will first search for an id identifier T (UD)of a communication terminal associated with the recipient user UD, in particular in the contact base 13, based on the identifier of the recipient user Id UD provided by the first analyzer 12.

[0061] Thus, the calling user thinks of the contact user with whom he wishes to be put in contact, either using a medium reproducing data relating to the contact user with whom he wishes to be put in contact on which the calling user focuses, or by remembering data relating to the contact user with whom he wishes to be put in contact.

[0062] Illustrates a simplified diagram of a direct neural interface according to the invention.

[0063] The direct neural interface 21 is connected to a communication terminal 1, 11 of a calling user UA. It comprises a transmitter 215 of a relative signal s snto the neural signal of the user calling the communication terminal 1, the signal s sn being capable of triggering a connection cnx, via a communication network 3, of the communication terminal 1, 11 with a destination communication terminal 12 associated with the destination user UD determined as a function of the transmitted signal s sn .

[0065] In a complementary or alternative manner, the direct neural interface 21 is connected to a neural signal sensor 24, 241…24 I suitable for positioning on the skull of the user calling UA.

[0066] In particular, the direct neural interface 21 comprises a second neural signal analyzer 212 capable of determining a signature sg of the neural signal sn: sg(sn) of the calling user UA, the second neural signal analyzer 212 providing the determined signature sg to the transmitter 215 as a signal to be transmitted to the communication terminal 1, 11.

[0067] In the case where the direct neural interface 21 comprises and / or is connected to several neural signal sensors 210, 2101…210 N and / or 24, 241…24 I , the set of neural signals provided by these sensors {sn n} n=1…N , {sn' i} i =1… Iare either provided to the transmitter 215 to be transmitted to the communication terminal 1, 11 from which the first analyzer 12 of the communication terminal 1, 11 determines a recipient user, or to the second analyzer 212 of the direct neural interface 21 which determines a signature of this set of neural signals s sn = sg({sn n} n=1…N , {sn' i} i =1… I ) or a signature set ssn=({sg(sn n )} n=1…N , { sg(sn' i )} i =1… I ) which will be provided to transmitter 215 to communication terminal 1, 11.

[0068] In a particular embodiment, the transmitter 215 of the direct neural interface 21 and the receiver 10 of the communication terminal 1, 11 are connection ports of a communication cable 5 for wired communication.

[0080] Illustrates a simplified diagram of a method for establishing communication according to the invention.

[0081] The CSP communication establishment method makes it possible to establish a communication, via a communication network 3, between a communication terminal T, T UA and a destination communication terminal T UD associated with a specific recipient user UD.

[0083] In particular, the CSP communication establishment method comprises:- receiving a signal relating to the neural signal s sn of the calling user UA using the communication terminal T, T UAimplementing the CSP communication establishment method.

[0084] In particular, the signal relating to the neural signal comes from a direct neural interface IN placed on the skull of the calling user UA and connected to the communication terminal T, T UA implementing the CSP communication establishment method.

[0085] In particular, the CSP communication establishment method or a navigation method (not shown) prior to the CSP communication establishment method comprises: - obtaining A_OBT (not shown) an interaction command from the calling user UA with his communication terminal T, T UA . The interaction command can be a navigation command a(bw) in a website, a reading command of all or part of a contact directory 13 (the contact directory comprising a set of contacts for which one or more data relating to contacts are stored um ), etc.

[0086] In a particular embodiment, the CSP communication establishment method, respectively the navigation method (not shown) prior to the CSP communication establishment method, comprises: - reproducing DR_RPR (not shown) data to be reproduced dr according to the interaction command obtained. The reproduction is in particular triggered by the interaction command of the calling user UA.

[0087] For example, when the interaction command is a navigation command a(bw) in a website, the navigation method reproduces a web page in particular by reproducing the data to be reproduced corresponding to the web page possibly including at least one piece of data relating to a contact user u m : . In case the interaction command is a read command of all or part of a contact directory 13, the CSP communication establishment method reproduces this part of the contact directory: , namely all or part of the data relating to each of the contact users in this part of the directory, in particular in the form of a list of names and contact nicknames … displayed; or in the form of a photo gallery of photographs or avatars contacts; or in the form of a series of voicemails from contacts ; etc. Thus, the calling user UA perceives a stimulus relating in particular to at least one contact, respectively a stimulus relating to a contact appearing in an Internet page st(u m ), one or more stimuli relating to contacts in the directory section Or , etc.

[0088] In particular, following the perception or recollection of data relating to a contact user Um by the calling user UA, the communication establishment method CSP receives SN_REC a relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the user calling UA. This signal relative to sn to a neural signal is in particular one of the following signals: the neural signal sn of the calling user UA, a signature sg(sn), sg of the neural signal of the calling user UA, etc.: s sn =sn, s sn =sg(sn)…

[0089] In particular, the communication establishment method CSP receives SN_REC the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA when the calling user perceives or thinks of a contact user U pre-recorded in the communication terminal 11 and / or a contact database, such as a contact directory, accessible by the communication terminal 11, for example via the Internet.

[0091] In particular, user UA thinks of contact user U by remembering an element relating to the contact user such as their face, one of their tattoos, their avatar, their voice, their first and last name, their nickname, etc.

[0092] In particular, the SN_REC reception provides the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA to the destination user determination U_DT. The destination user determination U_DT includes in particular the first analysis SN_NZ1.

[0093] In particular, the CSP communication establishment method comprises:- comparing CMP a signature of the neural signal sg(sn) of the calling user UA, respectively UD, with at least one signature sg m of a neuronal signal sn mof the calling user previously associated with a contact user Um of the calling user. The determination of the recipient user U_DT and / or the first analysis SN_NZ1 of neural signals is capable of determining the recipient user UD among contact users U of the calling user UA based on the result rc provided by the comparison CMP.

[0094] Let the CMP comparison (not shown) treat the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA and provides the result of the comparison rc to a later step of the recipient user determination U_DT, or even to the first analysis SN_NZ1. Let the first analysis SN_NZ1 include:- compare CMP. Then, the first analysis SN_NZ1 receives the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA of the reception SN_REC and the comparison CMP processes this relative signal s snto a neural signal and provides the first analysis SN_NZ1 with the result of the rc comparison.

[0095] In particular, the CMP comparison compares the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the calling user UA received from the reception SN_REC to one or more relative signals s sn m to a neural signal of the calling user UA recorded in association with one or more contact users Um, {Um} in particular in a contact base, such as a contact base BDC implemented in the communication terminal T, T UA .

[0096] The BDC contact database therefore constitutes a set of data relating to contact users {Um} m . The relative signals s sn m to a neural signal of the calling user UA recorded in association with one or more contact users Um are in particular neural signals sn mof the calling user UA recorded in association with one or more contact users Um, or sg signatures m , sg(sn m ) : sg m = sg(sn m) des signaux neuronaux snmde l’utilisateur appelant UA enregistrés en association avec un ou plusieurs utilisateurs contacts Um.

[0097] In particular, the CMP comparison provides the result of this, or even these, comparisons rc = c(sn,{sn m} m ), rc = c(sg,{sg m} m ) at a later stage of the determination of the recipient user U_DT, or even at the first analysis SN_NZ1. In particular, alternatively, the CMP comparison thus searches among the contact users {Um} m of the calling user UA the contact user Um to which a relative signal s is associated sn m to a neural signal sn m of the calling user UA.

[0098] In particular, the first analysis SN_NZ1 treats the relative signal s snto a neural signal of the calling user UA received and / or the result rc provided by the comparison CMP to determine the contact user Um corresponding to the neural signal of the calling user UA. In particular, the first analysis SN_NZ1 comprises:- analyzing by neural network RN_NZ and / or by artificial intelligence IA_NZ performing this processing of the relative signal s sn to a neural signal from the received UA calling user and / or the rc result provided by the CMP comparison.

[0099] In particular, the CSP communication establishment method comprises:- selecting SLCT a contact user Um as the destination user UD of the connection to be established based on the neural signal sn.

[0100] In particular, the determination of the recipient user UD and / or the first analysis SN_NZ1 includes the SLCT selection.

[0101] The first analysis SN_NZ1 will then provide the contact user UM determined to correspond to the neural signal of the calling user UA as the destination user UD of the connection to be established. In particular, the first analysis SN_NZ1 will provide the connection initialization CNX_INIT with either simply an identifier relating to the destination of the connection, such as an identifier of the destination user id UD or an identifier of a communication terminal of the recipient user id T (UD) ; or a connection command including an identifier relating to the recipient of the connection.

[0102] In particular, the CNX_INIT connection initialization receiving an identifier relative to the connection recipient will require cnx_req(id T (UD) ) a connection with the communication terminal of the recipient user cnx_rq(T( UD)). If necessary, it will first search for an id identifier T (UD) of a communication terminal associated with the recipient user UD, in particular in the BDC contact database, based on the recipient user's identifier Id UD provided by the first SN_NZ1 analysis.

[0103] In particular, the analysis of neural signals SN_NZ1 illustrated by is a step of a method for managing a communication terminal T_MNGT according to the invention.

[0109] In particular, the registration process includes:- collecting UCLT data relating to U to a contact user U of a communication terminal T, T UA of a UA user.

[0110] The CLT collection is carried out in particular on interaction of the user UA with the communication terminal T, T UA . This interaction triggers a ucmd(a) collection command communication terminal T, T UA .

[0111] In particular, the UCLT collection includes: - creation of a UNW contact user, the contact user includes in particular data relating to the contact user depending on the collection order: d U .

[0114] Following the reproduction of the SN_TRG stimulus, the recording process includes: - memorizing the user contact UMEM associated with the triggered neuronal signal sn.

[0115] In particular, the memorization of the UMEM contact user includes: - receiving SN_REC a signal relating to the neural signal s sn , s sn =sn, s sn =sg(sn) of a direct neural interface IN worn by the user UA and connected to the communication terminal T, T UA .

[0116] In particular, the memorization of the UMEM contact user includes: - analyzing SN_NZ1 the signal relating to the neural signal s sn received to determine data relating to the neural signal of sn . In particular, when the received signal is the neural signal sn, the data relating to the neural signal d sn are for example a signature of the neuronal signal sg(sn).

[0117] In particular, the ASS association makes it possible to associate data relating to the user contact Ueither created UNW, or read USLCT for modification or read USLCT and modified UMDF, data relating to the neural signal sn, in particular the neural signal sn, a signature of the neural signal sg(sn), etc.

[0118] In particular, the storage of the UMEM contact user includes: - a UW writing of the associated data relating to the contact user U: .

[0119] One embodiment of the registration method is a program comprising program code instructions for executing the steps of the method for registering a contact user according to the invention when said program is executed by a processor.

[0120] Optionally, a single program comprises program code instructions for executing the steps of the method for establishing communication according to the invention and the steps of the method for registering a contact user according to the invention when said program is executed by a processor.

[0121] The invention also relates to a medium. The information medium may be any entity or device capable of storing the program. For example, the medium may comprise a storage means, such as a ROM, for example a CD ROM or a microelectronic circuit ROM or a magnetic recording means, for example a floppy disk or a hard disk.

[0122] On the other hand, the information medium may be a transmissible medium such as an electrical or optical signal which may be conveyed via an electrical or optical cable, by radio or by other means. The program according to the invention may in particular be downloaded from a network, in particular of the Internet type.

[0123] Alternatively, the information carrier may be an integrated circuit in which the program is incorporated, the circuit being adapted to perform or to be used in the performance of the method in question.

[0124] In another implementation, the invention is implemented by means of software and / or hardware components. In this regard, the term module can correspond to either a software component or a hardware component. A software component corresponds to one or more computer programs, one or more sub-programs of a program, or more generally to any element of a program or software capable of implementing a function or a set of functions according to the description above. A hardware component corresponds to any element of a hardware assembly capable of implementing a function or a set of functions.

[0125] Illustrates a simplified diagram of a use case of a communication terminal according to the invention.

[0126] The communication terminal 1 comprises a directory 13 comprising several contact users U1, U2, U3, U4, U5, U6… each contact user comprising one or more data relating to this contact user, in particular an identifier of the contact user, respectively id U1 , id U2 , id U3 , id U4 , id U5 , id U6 …; etc.

[0127] In particular, the user UA interacts with the communication terminal 1 in particular by means of an input interface 16 of the communication terminal 1, thus triggering a reading of the directory 13 and a reproduction in particular by a screen 17 of certain of the data relating to at least some of the contact users of the directory 13.

[0128] In the example of the, the screen 17 displays a photo directory of some of the contact users recorded in the directory 13, in particular the contact users U3 to U11, forming in particular a matrix of images i U3 to i U11 relating to these contact users.

[0129] The UA user wishing to be put in touch with the contact user U3 focuses on reproducing the image i U 3relating to this contact user (photograph of the contact user, drawing of his avatar, logo of his company, etc.). The user UA then receives the corresponding stimulus st(U3).

[0130] The direct neural interface 21 worn by the user UA then captures a neural signal sn from which the first analyzer 12 determines the contact user with whom the user UA wishes to be put in contact: in this case the contact user U3, then triggers the connection of the communication terminal of the user UA with a communication terminal of the contact user U3 according to the connection identifier associated with the contact user U3 in the directory 13.

[0131] The invention takes advantage of the fact that a user of a communication terminal is equipped with a headset in his daily tasks (audio headset, construction helmet, etc.). By adding to this headset, a direct neural interface, in particular by means of electrodes to measure the user's EEG signals, the user will thus be able to control by thought the communication of his communication terminal according to the invention with the communication terminal of a speaker selected by thought.

[0132] In particular, the selection of the interlocutor by thought benefits from progress in the recognition of images imagined by a user via the activity of his brain, in particular by means of analysis of neural signals by artificial intelligence. Thus, analysis by artificial intelligence makes it possible to reduce the risks of errors in the selection of the recipient user.

[0133] In particular, the analysis of neural signals for image recognition makes it possible to recognize both realistic faces and an avatar, whether the user sees the image on their screen, a poster, in an immersive reality headset (augmented or virtual) or whether the user remembers the image in their head.

[0134] In the case of an analysis by artificial intelligence, the analysis will have learned on the basis of data to be reproduced (images, sounds, texts) relating to users contacts of a directory to recognize the neural signals of the user, in particular the signature of the neural signals, when reproducing the data to be reproduced, for example when viewing each face.

[0135] Thus, in the example of the, to initiate a communication, the user will look at or think of the face of the contact user with whom he wants to get in touch; through the collected neural signals, the analysis, in particular by artificial intelligence, will recognize the recipient contact user (whose realistic or virtual image will be associated with his contact details in a directory) and the communication terminal will initiate the connection.

[0136] Beyond allowing the selection of a contact user without manipulation or use of voice command, that is to say in complete discretion, the advantage of the invention is its simplicity, particularly in terms of ergonomics, from a calling user point of view and its efficiency. No longer is it necessary to master a computer or voice command protocol, the command interaction becomes natural.
