Abstract

A system is provided for updating the conditions under which a telecommunication device accesses services provided by a telecommunication network. The system includes a network access point through which the device accesses the network, and a database, wherein the system authenticates the device via the access point on the basis of authentication data transferred by the device as well as the database storing the profile associated with the authentication data. The access point controls the conditions under which the device accesses the network services once the device has been authenticated and on the basis of the device profile. The system generates a second authentication command for the device via the access point following an alteration of the profiled associated with the authentication data.

Claims

1-12. -12. (canceled)

13. System for updating conditions of access, by a telecommunications device, to services delivered by a telecommunications network, the system comprising:

an access point of the telecommunications network through which the telecommunications device accesses said network,

a database,

the access point comprising means to manage the conditions of access of the telecommunications system to the services delivered by the telecommunications network on the basis of a profile stored by the database, said profile being associated with authentication data transmitted by the telecommunications device during a first authentication by said system, wherein the system comprises means for generating a command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device by the access point following a modification of the profile associated with the authentication data.

14. System according to claim 13, wherein the system comprises a subscription gateway accessible through the telecommunications network and wherein the means of generating the command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device are included in the subscription portal.

15. System according to claim 13, wherein the system comprises an authentication server with which there is associated the database storing the profile associated with the authentication data and wherein the means for generating of the command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device are included in the authentication server.

16. System according to claim 13, wherein the means for generating the command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device transfer the command for the second authentication to the access point.

17. System according to claim 13, wherein the means for generating the command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device transfer the command for the second authentication to the telecommunications device.

18. System according claim 17, wherein the telecommunications device is a first telecommunications device to which second telecommunications devices are connected.

19. System according to claim 17, wherein the telecommunications device is a second telecommunications device connected to the access point by a first telecommunications device.

21. Network equipment constituting a subscriber gateway accessible by at least one telecommunications device, by an access point to a telecommunications network, wherein the subscriber gateway comprises means for generating a command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device by the access point following a modification of a profile associated with authentication data transmitted by the telecommunications device during a first authentication.

22. Authentication server accessible by at least one telecommunications device, by an access point to a telecommunications network, wherein the authentication server comprises means for generating a command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device by the access point following a modification of the profile associated with the authentication data transmitted by the telecommunications device during a first authentication.

23. Method for updating conditions of access, by a telecommunications device, to services delivered by a telecommunications network, the telecommunications device accessing the telecommunications network through an access point of said telecommunications network, the method comprising:

a step of managing the conditions of access of the telecommunications device to the services delivered by the telecommunications network on the basis of a profile stored by a database, said profile being associated with authentication data transmitted by the telecommunications device during a first authentication; and

a step of generating a command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device by the access point following a modification of the profile associated with the authentication data.

25. Computer program stored in an information carrier and comprising instructions for implementing a method for updating conditions of access, by a telecommunications device, to services delivered by a telecommunications network, the telecommunications device accessing the telecommunications network through an access point of said telecommunications network, when the instructions are executed by a processor, the method comprising:

a step of managing the conditions of access of the telecommunications device to the services delivered by the telecommunications network on the basis of a profile stored by a database, said profile being associated with authentication data transmitted by the telecommunications device during a first authentication; and

a step of generating a command for a second authentication of the telecommunications device by the access point following a modification of the profile associated with the authentication data.
