Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'établir un guide électronique sur les programmes de télévision. On utilise une forme de traitement en tête via une base de données et un processeur segmentant et classant par catégories l'information de programme, laquelle est ensuite diffusée selon une hiérarchie sur un canal hors bande. Les terminaux des coffrets d'abonnés individuels accèdent directement au guide, dont ils affichent le contenu, via le serveur de tête, en réponse à une opération d'entrée de l'abonné. Selon une variante, les terminaux susmentionnés soumettent des demandes d'accès à telle ou telle information du guide, et le serveur répond à ces demandes en série sur le canal hors bande.
