II a déjà été proposé dans la demande de brevet FR 2 759 829 une technique permettant à un utilisateur de passer très aisément auprès d'une centrale d'achat un ordre de commande relativement au disque ou à une annonce qui est diffusée par la station de radio qu'il est en train d'écouter. It has already been proposed in the patent application FR 2 759 829 a technique allowing a user to very easily go to a central purchasing order order for the disc or an ad that is broadcast by the station. radio that he is listening to.

La technique décrite dans la demande précitée utilise des équipements particuliers aptes à lire des information numériques transmises par exemple par voie RDS et permettant d'identifier la chaîne de radio écoutée. En actionnant des moyens d'émission - par exemple en utilisant un service particulier prévu à cet effet sur son téléphone portable - l'utilisateur renvoie sur la centrale d'achat un appel qui équivaut à une commande ou à une demande de renseignement sur la bande sonore ou l'annonce qui est diffusée au moment où il appelle. The technique described in the aforementioned application uses special equipment capable of reading digital information transmitted for example by RDS and to identify the radio channel listened to. By operating transmission means - for example by using a particular service provided for this purpose on his mobile phone - the user returns to the central purchasing a call which is equivalent to an order or a request for information on the tape sound or announcement that is broadcast at the time it calls.

On l'aura compris, cette technique suppose que les signaux radio fréquence émis par la station de radio porte les informations numériques d'identification. As will be understood, this technique assumes that the radio frequency signals transmitted by the radio station carry the digital identification information.

II est donc nécessaire que la station de radio émette des signaux avec un contenu particulier, ce qui rend difficile la généralisation de cette technique. It is therefore necessary that the radio station emits signals with a particular content, which makes it difficult to generalize this technique.

Un but de l'invention est de proposer une technique qui permette à un utilisateur d'accéder au même type de services, sans qu'il ne soit nécessaire d'imposer des formats d'émission particuliers sur les signaux émis par les stations de radio. An object of the invention is to propose a technique that allows a user to access the same type of services, without it being necessary to impose particular transmission formats on the signals transmitted by the radio stations. .

A cet effet, l'invention propose un système permettant de transmettre à un usager des informations relativement à une séquence sonore qu'il écoute ou a écoutée, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte - un serveur qui comprend une base de données recensant des séquences sonores et leur associant des informations, - des moyens permettant à l'usager d'interroger ledit serveur relativement à une séquence sonore qu'il écoute, - des moyens pour transmettre à l'usager une ou des informations associées dans la base de données à ladite séquence sonore transmise. To this end, the invention proposes a system for transmitting to a user information relating to a sound sequence that he listens or listens to, characterized in that it comprises a server which comprises a database listing sequences sound and associating them with information, means enabling the user to interrogate said server relative to a sound sequence that he is listening to, means for transmitting to the user one or more associated information in the database to said transmitted sound sequence.

Un tel système est avantageusement complété par les différentes caractéristiques suivantes prises seules ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons possibles - le serveur comporte des moyens de comparaison qui comparent en permanence les séquences sonores émises par une pluralité de stations de radio et/ou de télévision à une pluralité de séquences sonores mémorisées dans la base de données et qui établissent, en fonction de cette comparaison, un fichier qui est mis à jour en permanence et qui associe à une station de radio et/ou de télévision une séquence sonore mémorisée ; - le serveur comporte des moyens de comparaison aptes à comparer une séquence sonore transmise par un utilisateur à une séquence sonore diffusée par une station de radio et/ou de télévision, afin d'en déduire la station de radio et/ou de télévision écoutée ; - il comporte des moyens de reconnaissance vocale permettant de reconnaître une station radio et/ou de télévision annoncée par un utilisateur, et en ce qu'il comporte également des moyens pour renvoyer à l'utilisateur les informations associées à cette station de radio et/ou de télévision ; - il comporte des moyens pour comprimer une séquence sonore afin d'en déterminer une signature, la base de sonnées mémorisant les signatures de séquences sonores qu'elle recense ; - des moyens de comparaison mettent en oeuvre un traitement de comparaison sur les signatures ; - des moyens permettant à l'usager d'interroger le serveur et les moyens permettant au serveur de transmettre à l'usager des informations en retour comprennent des moyens de communication téléphonique ; - les moyens de communication téléphonique mettent en oeuvre une transmission de messages SMS ; - les moyens de communication téléphonique mettent en ceuvre une transmission sous WAP ; - il comporte un terminal apte à être utilisé par l'usager pour mémoriser, le cas échéant sous forme compressée, une séquence sonore qu'il écoute et pour retransmettre ultérieurement cette séquence sonore au serveur. Such a system is advantageously completed by the following different characteristics taken alone or in all their possible combinations - the server comprises comparison means which continuously compare the sound sequences transmitted by a plurality of radio and / or television stations to a plurality sound sequences stored in the database which establish, based on this comparison, a file which is constantly updated and which associates with a radio station and / or television a stored sound sequence; the server comprises comparison means able to compare a sound sequence transmitted by a user to a sound sequence broadcast by a radio and / or television station, in order to deduce therefrom the radio and / or television station being listened to; it comprises voice recognition means making it possible to recognize a radio and / or television station announced by a user, and in that it also comprises means for sending back to the user the information associated with this radio station and / or television; it comprises means for compressing a sound sequence in order to determine a signature thereof, the sounding database memorizing the sound sequence signatures it records; - Comparison means implement a comparison processing on the signatures; - Means for the user to query the server and the means for the server to transmit to the user feedback information include telephone communication means; the telephone communication means implement an SMS message transmission; the telephone communication means implement a transmission under WAP; - It comprises a terminal adapted to be used by the user to store, if necessary in compressed form, a sound sequence that he listens and later retransmit this sound sequence to the server.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore de la description qui suit, laquelle est purement illustrative et non limitative. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, which is purely illustrative and not limiting.

Selon la technique illustrée sur cette figure, lorsqu'un utilisateur écoute une émission de radio et qu'il veut avoir une information sur la séquence sonore qu'il écoute, par exemple savoir quel est le titre de la chanson ou du morceau de musique qu'il écoute, savoir qui sont les interprètes, etc., il compose sur son téléphone mobile un numéro de téléphone qui correspond à celui du service susceptible de lui donner des informations sur la bande sonore ou l'émission qu'il écoute. According to the technique illustrated in this figure, when a user listens to a radio program and wants to have information on the sound sequence he is listening to, for example, what is the title of the song or piece of music that he is listening to? he listens, who is the interpreter, etc., he dials on his mobile phone a phone number that corresponds to that of the service likely to give him information on the soundtrack or the program he listens to.

Puis il approche son téléphone mobile du haut parleur de son poste de radio. Le son diffusé par le poste de radio est alors transmis, par l'intermédiaire du réseau téléphonique, au serveur qui a été appelé. Then he approaches his mobile phone from the speaker of his radio. The sound broadcast by the radio is then transmitted via the telephone network to the server that has been called.

Celui-ci détermine une signature de la séquence sonore qu'il reçoit et compare cette signature à des signatures d'un certain nombre de stations de radio et/ou de télévision émettant des ondes radiodiffusées ou encore sur Internet écoutées en temps réel, par exemple 25. This determines a signature of the sound sequence it receives and compares this signature with signatures of a number of radio and / or television stations broadcasting broadcast waves or on the Internet listened to in real time, for example 25.

Par cette comparaison de signature, le serveur détermine quelle était celle des stations qui étaient écoutée par l'utilisateur. By this signature comparison, the server determines which stations were listened to by the user.

Une signature peut par exemple consister en un code obtenu par numérisation/compression du son reçu. A signature may for example consist of a code obtained by digitizing / compressing the sound received.

En parallèle, le serveur comporte des moyens qui réalisent une comparaison des signatures des différentes stations radios et/ou de télévision précitées à un nombre important de signatures préenregistrées, auxquelles sont associées des informations susceptibles d'être transmises aux utilisateurs. Par exemple, cette comparaison consiste à comparer les signatures des bandes sons diffusées par les 25 stations de radio précitées à 20 000 signatures de chansons, bandes sonores préalablement enregistrées. In parallel, the server comprises means that perform a comparison of the signatures of the various radio stations and / or television above to a large number of prerecorded signatures, which are associated with information that can be transmitted to users. For example, this comparison consists in comparing the signatures of the soundtracks broadcast by the 25 aforementioned radio stations to 20,000 song signatures, previously recorded audio tapes.

Par cette deuxième comparaison, le serveur dispose d'un fichier qui, à chaque instant, associe aux différentes stations de radio écoutées des informations relatives aux bandes sonores diffusées par ces stations. By this second comparison, the server has a file that, at each moment, associates with the various radio stations listened to information relating to the soundtracks broadcast by these stations.

Ces informations sont celles que l'usager du service est susceptible d'attendre - titre de la chanson ou du morceau de musique diffusé, interprètes, etc., - compléments d'informations relativement à une annonce publicitaire diffusée, - etc. This information is what the user of the service is likely to expect - the title of the song or piece of music played, the performers, etc. - additional information relating to an advertisement broadcast - etc.

Ayant déterminé, grâce à ce double mécanisme de comparaison, quelles étaient les informations associées à la bande sonore transmise au serveur par l'usager, ledit serveur renvoie lesdites informations à ce dernier, par exemple via SMS ou en renvoyant page de serveur Internet sous WAP. Having determined, thanks to this double comparison mechanism, which information was associated with the soundtrack transmitted to the server by the user, said server sends back said information to the latter, for example via SMS or by returning the Internet server page under WAP. .

L'utilisateur a alors la possibilité, par exemple par le biais de sa messagerie SMS, de renvoyer sur le serveur en question un ordre de commande, par exemple un ordre de commande du disque correspondant à ce qui était écouté, un ordre de commande du produit correspondant à la bande annonce diffusée, etc.. The user then has the possibility, for example through his SMS messaging, to send back to the server in question a command order, for example a command order of the disk corresponding to what was listened to, a command order from the product corresponding to the broadcast trailer, etc.

En variante, il peut être prévu que l'utilisateur peut, s'il le désire, être automatiquement renvoyé sur un annonceur susceptible de lui donner plus d'informations sur le produit en question. Alternatively, it can be expected that the user can, if desired, be automatically returned to an advertiser may give more information on the product in question.

D'autres variantes de réalisation ou de mises en oeuvre de l'invention sont bien entendu possibles. Other embodiments or implementations of the invention are of course possible.

En particulier, il peut être envisagé que la détermination de la station écoutée est réalisée sans que la première étape de comparaison ne soit utilisée. In particular, it can be envisaged that the determination of the listened station is carried out without the first comparison step being used.

Par exemple, il peut être prévu que, lorsqu'il appelle le serveur, l'usager annonce le nom de la station qu'il écoute, le serveur comportant des moyens de reconnaissance vocale lui permettant d'identifier la station annoncée par le serveur. For example, it can be expected that when he calls the server, the user announces the name of the station he listens, the server having voice recognition means to identify the station announced by the server.

En variante encore, il peut être envisagé que l'utilisateur, lorsqu'il entend une séquence sonore qui l'intéresse, l'enregistre au moyen de son téléphone mobile ou d'un autre terminal, tel qu'un ordinateur de poche, et qu'il retransmet ultérieurement au serveur cette séquence sonore pour qu'il la reconnaisse. As a further variant, it may be envisaged that the user, when he hears a sound sequence which interests him, registers it by means of his mobile telephone or of another terminal, such as a pocket computer, and that it retransmits the sound sequence later to the server so that it recognizes it.

Le téléphone portable ou terminal comporte alors préférentiellement des moyens de compression de la séquence émise.The mobile phone or terminal then preferably comprises means for compressing the transmitted sequence.
