Abstract

Un système de programmation électronique comprend un récepteur (30) destiné à recevoir des informations sur les programmes de télévision et des informations promotionnelles transmises par satellite (170), un système de reproduction numérique (40) mémorisant les informations promotionnelles et celles relatives aux programmes, et formatant des pages de ces informations, et un modulateur (50) de canaux de télévision par câble modulant les pages d'informations sur un système de télévision par câble. Un processeur (41) de données du système de reproduction (40) reçoit et met en mémoire (42) les informations relatives aux programmes de télévision pour plusieurs programmes afin que celles-ci apparaissent sur la pluralité de canaux de télévision. Un récepteur de télévision sert à présenter les informations relatives aux programmes de télévision et les informations promotionnelles, ce récepteur ou boîtier câblosélecteur étant réglé par rapport au canal désigné sur lequel sont modulés les signaux. Un générateur multimédia (44) reçoit les instructions de commande provenant du processeur (41) de données et les informations relatives aux programmes provenant de la mémoire (42), et affiche une partie des informations relatives aux programmes soit dans un format grille plein écran, soit dans un format grille écran partiel, ainsi que les informations promotionnelles commandées par un programme d'affichage résidant dans le processeur (41) de données. Le processeur (41) de données commande le générateur multimédia (44) à l'aide d'instructions de commande, émises en réponse à un programme informatique résidant sur le processeur (41) de données, afin d'afficher les informations relatives aux programmes et les informations promotionnelles.
