  • the term "communication terminal” here means any type of communication equipment capable of receiving at least content from a broadcast network (fixed or mobile, and possibly satellite or hybrid). It may for example be a reception equipment for television programs, such as for example a "Set-top box” or a television, a reception equipment for video or music programs, a computer stationary or portable, equipment embedded in a vehicle (car, truck, bus, train, and the like), or even a landline or mobile (or cellular) or a personal digital assistant (or PDA).

  • non-shared-use terminals have screens that are (very) small in size, making it very difficult not only to read interactive messages, but also the additional information selected for interaction with the broadcaster, or the operator.
  • SMS short messages Short Message System
  • This solution which is not an integrated type, on the one hand, imposes on each customer to enter a text message and a communication address, which is not always easy given the very small size of the keys of the mobile terminals, and secondly, allows to transmit to customers on their mobile devices that additional information of the textual type and in very small quantity because it is done by means of short messages.
  • this solution solves neither the problem of personalizing interactive services, nor the problem of access to interactive services when customers want.
  • the invention provides a method for transmitting to clients additional content that is interactive accessible and associated with content broadcast to primary communication terminals that are attached to a broadcast network.
