Interconnection system between at least one communication device and at least one remote data system and interconnection method
First Claim
1. An interconnection system comprising at least one communication device and at least one remote data system, the communication device comprising:
- at least a first network connection link, andat least one service component, connected to the first network connection link and comprising means for emitting presence notification signals with a predefined period, each service component of the communication device being associated with a remote data system, the remote data system comprising;
a second network connection link,a remote service agent, assigned to the service component, the remote service agent being connected to the second network connection link, the remote service agent comprising;
means for adjusting the emission period of the presence notification signals of the service component, andmeans for detecting isolation of the service component with respect to the remote service agent in the absence of receipt of a presence notification signal from the service component, anda network detection means to detect the presence of a network accessible by the first network connection link, the network detection means being connected to the service components and comprising a monitoring element connected to the first network connection link and to a storage list of the active service components, each service component declaring itself active to the monitoring element, the monitoring element indicating the types of network accessible to each active service component;
wherein the service component and the remote service agent that is assigned thereto are connected by a communication channel that is assigned thereto, the presence notification signals being transmitted via the communication channel.

Abstract
The interconnection system comprises at least one preferably mobile communication device which can be connected to a remote data system by a communication channel enabling firewalls to be by-passed. The communication device comprises means for emitting presence signals. A service component of the communication device establishes a communication channel to a remote service agent of the remote data system, that is assigned thereto. The service component of the communication device indicates its presence at regular intervals by notification signals to the remote service agent in order to keep the communication channel active. The period of the notification signals is defined by the remote service agent at least once after the channel has been established. The remote service agent can then send messages in real time to the service component.
