  We have developed a new automated method intended to perform the simultaneous
- and thus more consistent - measurement of both the seismic indices
characterizing the oscillations and the parameters characterizing the
granulation signature of red-giant stars. This method, called MLEUP, takes
advantage of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE) algorithm combined with the
parametrized representation of red giant pulsation spectra following the
Universal Pattern (UP). Its performances have been tested on Monte Carlo
simulations for observation conditions representative of CoRoT and Kepler data.
These simulations allowed us to determine, calibrate and propose correction for
the biases on the parameter estimates as well as on the error estimates
produced with MLEUP. Finally, we applied MLEUP to CoRoT and Kepler data. In
total, MLEUP yields seismic indices for 20,122 red giant stars and granulation
parameters for 17,109 of them. These data have been made available in the
Stellar Seismic Indices database (http://ssi.lesia.obspm.fr/).
