Abstract

A method for the insertion of a multimedia content into a computerized communication by an instant messaging service between a first session executed on a first computerized device and at least one second session executed on a second computerized device, the method including on the one hand, prior to the insertion of the multimedia content, the following steps: the multimedia content is constituted by at least one instant messaging user; the multimedia content is stored in a third computerized device, and on the other hand, during communication, the following steps: the execution of the content is activated by the first session; the multimedia content is automatically executed, following the activation, based on data received from the third computerized device.

Claims

1. A method for the insertion of a multimedia content into a computerized communication by an instant messaging service between a first session executed on a first computerized device and at least one second session executed on a second computerized device, said method comprising on the one hand, prior to said insertion of the multimedia content, the following steps:

said multimedia content is constituted by at least one instant messaging user;

said multimedia content is stored in a third computerized device,

and on the other hand, during said communication, the following steps;

the execution of said content is activated by the first session;

said multimedia content is automatically executed, following said activation, based on data received from said third computerized device.

2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the automatic execution of the multimedia content takes place in the first computerized equipment.

3. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the automatic execution of the multimedia content takes place in the second computerized equipment.

4.
