Method for managing communication between a control device and a reading terminal

A management entity for managing communication between a first control device and a reading terminal that are able to communicate with one another via a first communication link, the first control device being able to communicate with the reading terminal when a communication session is active on the first communication link, the reading terminal being connected, via a second communication link, to a rendering device having a plurality of operating states and able to render content depending on a current operating state of the plurality of operating states of the rendering device, the rendering device being controlled via a second control device, wherein the management entity comprises:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code instructions which when executed by the processor configure the management entity to:
• obtain an item of data representative of a modification of the current operating state of the rendering device, the obtaining of the item of data representative of the modification of the current operating state of the rendering device including intercepting commands transmitted from the second control device to the rendering device for controlling the rendering device and detecting commands that change the state of the rendering device;
• and
• request modification of a state of the communication session between the reading terminal and the first control device on the basis of the obtained item of data.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which there is recorded a program comprising program code instructions for executing a method for managing communication between a first control device and a reading terminal that are able to communicate with one another via a first communication link, when the instructions are executed by a data processor of the reading terminal, the first control device being able to communicate with the reading terminal when a communication session is active on the first communication link, the reading terminal being connected, via a second communication link, to a rendering device having a plurality of operating states and able to render content depending on a current operating state of the plurality of operating states of the rendering device, the rendering device being controlled via a second control device, wherein the method is implemented by the reading terminal and comprises:

• obtaining an item of data representative of a modification of the current operating state of the rendering device, the obtaining of the item of data representative of the modification of the current operating state of the rendering device including intercepting commands transmitted from the second control device to the rendering device for controlling the rendering device and detecting commands that change the state of the rendering device, and
• requesting modification of a state of the communication session between the reading terminal and the first control device on the basis of the obtained item of data.
