Method and a device for signaling a call or a message to its addressee
First Claim
1. A method of signaling an incoming call or electronic message from a given sender to the user of a receiver terminal to whom said call or message is addressed, in which method said receiver terminal performs the following steps:
- identifying the sender;
allowing for at least one changeable or predetermined parameter relating to said sender; and
dynamically selecting at least one signaling mode and/or at least one signaling device available in said receiver terminal as a function of the state of said at least one parameter linked to the sender.

- 10. A telecommunication terminal adapted to be connected to a communication network and including a device for signaling an incoming call or an incoming electronic message from a caller using a given sender terminal to the user of said telecommunication terminal, to whom said call or message is addressed, which terminal includes, on the one hand, means for identifying the number or the address of said sender and, on the other hand, a module for dynamically selecting at least one signaling mode and/or device available in said telecommunication terminal as a function of the state of at least one changeable or predetermined parameter relating to said sender and allowed for by said module, where applicable, in conjunction with the state of at least one parameter programmed by said user and/or the state of at least one parameter relating to the environment or to the status of said telecommunication terminal.
