Method and device for managing personal communications of at least one user

A method of managing calls on behalf of local terminals with a plurality of distant terminals via a communications network, this method being implemented by a call manager device including a plurality of communications interfaces which are each in a one-to-one correspondence with one of said local terminals and a plurality of communications client modules which are each associated with a determined communications service of one or more communications services, wherein each of said plurality of communications interfaces is between a local terminal and a communications client module, wherein the method comprises:

• on reception by one of the communications client modules of an incoming call from a distant sending terminal, a step of selecting one or more local terminals and a step of redirecting said call to a communications interface corresponding to the selected local terminal in order to set up a communications link between said distant sending terminal and the selected local terminal via the communications client module receiving the call;
• and
• on reception of an outgoing call request via a communications interface corresponding to a local sending terminal, a step of identifying a communications client module able to set up a communications link of a selected communications service and a step of transmitting a request to the identified communications module in order to set up a communications link between a distant destination terminal and the local sending terminal via the identified communications client module.

A process in which a computer executes instructions set forth in a computer program, the computer program including instructions for executing a call management method comprising the steps of:

• upon receipt, by a communications client module, of an incoming call from a distant sending terminal;
• selecting one or more local terminals;
• and
• redirecting said call to a communications interface corresponding to the selected local terminal in order to set up a communications link between said distant sending terminal and the selected local terminal via the communications client module receiving the call, wherein said communications interface is between said selected local terminal and said communications client module;
• and
• upon receipt of an outgoing call request via a communications interface corresponding to a local sending terminal;
• identifying a communications client module able to set up a communications link of a selected communications service;
• and
• transmitting a request to the identified communications module in order to set up a communications link between a distant destination terminal and the local sending terminal via the identified communications client module.
