Description

PROCEDE PERMETTANT A UN UTILISATEUR ABONNE D'UN SERVICE DEMETHOD FOR A USER SUBSCRIBED FROM A SERVICE OF

TELEVISION NUMERIQUE D'OBTENIR RAPIDEMENT UN ACCUSE DE RECEPTION L'invention est relative à un procédé destiné à pexmettre à un utilisateur abonné d'un service de télévision numérique d'obtenir rapidement un accusé de réception sécurisé et certifié et de données préalablement transmises audit service, lesdites données étant relatives à la participation dudit utilisateur à une application interactive, notamment un jeu.  DIGITAL TELEVISION FOR QUICKLY ACKNOWLEDGING ACKNOWLEDGMENT The invention relates to a method for enabling a subscriber of a digital television service to quickly obtain a secure and certified acknowledgment of receipt and data previously transmitted to said service. , said data relating to the participation of said user in an interactive application, in particular a game.

Domaine technique Le domaine technique de la présente invention concerne les services liés à la télévision numérique et plus particulièrement les services interactifs proposés aux utilisateurs de type, loterie ou autres jeux.  TECHNICAL FIELD The technical field of the present invention relates to services related to digital television and more particularly the interactive services offered to users of type, lottery or other games.

Le Problème La technologie utilisée chez les diffuseurs de programmes aujourd'hui, ne permet pas une communication bidirectionelle avec le satellite ou la tête de réseau (pour le câble), d'où la nécessité d'utiliser une ligne téléphonique pour envoyer des données vers un centre d'émission. Ces données sont parfois des ordres de commande, des réponses à des jeux, des réponses de sondage, etc. Or certaines applications nécessitent l'envoi d'un accusé de réception ( Accusés De Réception ) visant à, - informer le téléspectateur de la bonne réception de sa participation, - transmettre au téléspectateur un numéro d'identification unique qui permettra d'authentifier et certifier sa participation.  The Problem The technology used by program broadcasters today, does not allow bidirectional communication with the satellite or headend (for cable), hence the need to use a phone line to send data to a broadcast center. These data are sometimes command orders, answers to games, survey responses, and so on. However some applications require the sending of an acknowledgment of receipt (Acknowledgment Reception) aimed at - inform the viewer of the good reception of its participation, - transmit to the viewer a unique identification number that will authenticate and certify his participation.

Dans certaines applications, il est nécessaire d'attendre la confirmation de la réception et de la validation de ces données. Or dans certains cas, ces réponses mettent trop de temps pour arriver pour des raisons diverses et variées: - temps de traitement trop long, - nombre de connexions simultanées très important qui mobilise les serveurs et les empêche de transmettre ces 15 validations en temps et en heure.  In some applications, it is necessary to wait for confirmation of receipt and validation of these data. But in some cases, these responses take too long to arrive for various reasons: - too long processing time, - very large number of simultaneous connections that mobilizes the servers and prevents them from transmitting these 15 validations in time and in hour.

Dans d'autres cas, les serveurs du centre de diffusion ne sont pas adaptés pour effectuer un dialogue bi-directionel via la ligne téléphonique, comme c'est le cas par exemple pour les serveurs d'application de Canal Satellite en France.  In other cases, the servers of the broadcast center are not adapted to perform a bi-directional dialogue via the telephone line, as is the case for example for Canal Satellite application servers in France.

Par ailleurs, le fait de garder une connexion établie jusqu'au temps de l'obtention de l'accusé de réception par voie téléphonique coûte très cher à l'utilisateur, étant donné que ce sont souvent des connections surtaxées qui sont utilisées pour ce genre de services.  In addition, keeping a connection established until the time of obtaining the acknowledgment by telephone is very expensive for the user, since it is often overtaxed connections that are used for this kind Services.

A ce jour, il n'existe pas de solution permettant, en temps réel, à la fois d'annoncer la bonne réception de données, et de transmettre un Accusé De Réception ). Les seules méthodes connues à ce jour sont les méthodes classiques dites de hand checking par voie connectée (ligne téléphonique ou câble bidirectionnel).  To date, there is no solution allowing, in real time, both to announce the good reception of data, and to transmit an Acknowledgment of Receipt). The only known methods to date are the traditional methods of hand checking by connected way (telephone line or bidirectional cable).

La solution La solution concerne un procédé destiné à permettre à un utilisateur abonné d'un service de télévision numérique d'obtenir rapidement un accusé de réception sécurisé et certifié de données préalablement transmises au service. Les données sont relatives à la participation de l'utilisateur à une application interactive, notamment un jeu. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: - l'étape, pour l'utilisateur, de transmettre les 5 données au service au moyen d'un décodeur connecté à une ligne téléphonique, - l'étape, pour le service de télévision numérique, de générer au moyen d'un serveur un accusé de réception comportant: - un numéro unique permettant la certification et l'authentification de la participation de l'utilisateur à l'application interactive, - un numéro unique d'identification, notamment de type MSD, du décodeur de l'utilisateur.  The solution The solution concerns a method for enabling a subscriber of a digital television service to quickly obtain a secure and certified acknowledgment of data previously transmitted to the service. The data relates to the user's participation in an interactive application, in particular a game. The method comprises the following steps: the step, for the user, of transmitting the data to the service by means of a decoder connected to a telephone line, - the step, for the digital television service, of generating by means of a server an acknowledgment of receipt comprising: - a unique number enabling the certification and authentication of the user's participation to the interactive application, - a unique identification number, in particular of the MSD type, of the user's decoder.

Le procédé comprend en outre: - l'étape, pour le service de télévision numérique, d'intégrer, en temps réel, l'accusé de réception ainsi généré dans un signal et de transmettre le signal à l'utilisateur via un réseau de communication, notamment de type satellite, câble, numérique terrestre, ADSL. Le signal, notamment de type DVS, contient les données, un signal vidéo, des données relatives à l'application interactive, des informations diverses.  The method further comprises: the step, for the digital television service, of integrating, in real time, the acknowledgment thus generated into a signal and of transmitting the signal to the user via a communication network , including satellite, cable, digital terrestrial, ADSL. The signal, in particular of the DVS type, contains the data, a video signal, data relating to the interactive application, and various information.

Le procédé comprend en outre l'étape, pour le décodeur de l'utilisateur: de détecter le numéro unique d'identification, notamment de type MSD, d'afficher, sur des moyens de visualisation associés au décodeur, l'accusé de réception comprenant: - un message annonçant la bonne réception de la 30 participation et/ou d'une requête initiale de l'utilisateur, - un état du traitement de la participation et/ou de la requête initiale par le serveur, - un numéro unique d'authentification et/ou de certification.  The method further comprises the step, for the decoder of the user: detecting the unique identification number, in particular of the MSD type, of displaying, on display means associated with the decoder, the acknowledgment of receipt comprising a message announcing the good reception of the participation and / or an initial request from the user, a status of the processing of the participation and / or the initial request by the server, a unique number of authentication and / or certification.

Ainsi, chaque utilisateur reçoit les données qui lui sont destinées et uniquement celles-ci.  Thus, each user receives the data intended for him and only these.

La solution selon l'invention consiste à créer et envoyer en temps réel, ces Accusés De Réception . Ces 5 Accusés De Réception sont composés: - de la confirmation de la participation, - d'un numéro unique permettant la certification et l'authentification de la participation, du numéro unique d'identification du décodeur de 10 l'utilisateur (n MSD).  The solution according to the invention is to create and send in real time, these Receipt Acknowledgments. These 5 Acknowledgment Receipts are composed of: - the confirmation of the participation, - a unique number allowing the certification and the authentication of the participation, the unique identification number of the decoder of the user (n MSD) .

Ces Accusés De Réception sont envoyés par voie dite broadcast c'est à dire en les diffusant dans le flux des données en mode dit push qui est transmis dans le signal DVB global (signal contenant la vidéo, l'application interactive, les données, des informations diverses, etc.).  These Receipt Acknowledgments are sent by broadcast channel, ie by broadcasting them in the so-called push data stream which is transmitted in the global DVB signal (signal containing the video, the interactive application, the data, various information, etc.).

Après la réception des requêtes venant du décodeur de l'abonné via la ligne téléphonique, puis traitement et validation de ces requêtes, un centre serveur édite en temps réel une réponse ( Accusés De Réception ) composée de: - l'accusé de réception, - d'un numéro unique permettant la certification et l'authentification de la participation, - du numéro unique d'identification du décodeur de l'utilisateur (n MSD).  After reception of the requests coming from the decoder of the subscriber via the telephone line, then processing and validation of these requests, a host edits in real time a response (Acknowledgment of Reception) composed of: - the acknowledgment of receipt, - a unique number allowing certification and authentication of the participation, - the unique identification number of the user's decoder (n MSD).

Les Accusés De Réception sont alors immédiatement envoyés vers le serveur d'émission qui se charge de les transmettre/diffuser en mode broadcast (satellite, câble, numérique terrestre, adsl.... ) Ces Accusés De Réception sont formatés de manière à être reconnus et traités uniquement par le récepteur numérique de l'abonné (le décodeur) dont le numéro MSD (numéro caché de la carte d'abonné) correspond au numéro figurant dans l' Accusé De Réception déjà transmis au cours de la requête initiale.    Receiving Acknowledgments are then immediately sent to the broadcast server which is responsible for transmitting / broadcasting them in broadcast mode (satellite, cable, digital terrestrial, adsl ....) These Receipt Acknowledgments are formatted so as to be recognized and processed only by the digital receiver of the subscriber (the decoder) whose MSD (hidden subscriber card number) number matches the number in the Receipt Acknowledgment already transmitted during the initial request.

De cette manière, on peut avoir la certitude que chaque 25 récepteur recevra les données qui lui sont destinées et uniquement celles-ci.  In this way, one can be sure that each receiver will receive the data intended for it and only these.

A la réception de ces données, le décodeur affiche à l'écran: - un message annonçant la bonne réception de la participation ou de la requête initiale, - le traitement de la requête initiale par le centre serveur, le numéro unique d'authentification/certification.  On receipt of these data, the decoder displays on the screen: - a message announcing the good reception of the participation or the initial request, - the processing of the initial request by the host, the unique authentication number / certification.

L'utilisateur a alors en sa possession l'ensemble des éléments permettant l'authentification /certification de sa participation/requête initiale.  The user then has in his possession all the elements allowing the authentication / certification of his participation / initial request.

Le temps moyen pour une opération de ce type (envoi de sa participation et réception de 1' Accusé De Réception ) est de 15 secondes, et ce quelque soit le nombre de participations, ce qui montre l'importance et l'utilité de la solution selon l'invention.  The average time for an operation of this type (sending its participation and receiving the Acknowledgment of Receipt) is 15 seconds, regardless of the number of participations, which shows the importance and usefulness of the solution. according to the invention.

Utilisation du procédé dans un service de Télévision Interactive La solution selon l'invention répond à un besoin urgent et indispensable pour un service interactif où il est nécessaire à un moment d'envoyer un Accusé De Réception confirmant la bonne réception et la certification d'une grille de loto jouée par un utilisateur. Le réseau de Canal Satellite ne permettant d'envoyer facilement et rapidement de telles réponses via une ligne téléphonique, le procédé selon l'invention permet de résoudre la difficulté rencontrée.  Use of the method in an Interactive Television service The solution according to the invention responds to an urgent and indispensable need for an interactive service where it is necessary at a given moment to send an Acknowledgment of receipt confirming the good reception and certification of a lotto grid played by a user. The Canal Satellite network does not allow to easily and quickly send such responses via a telephone line, the method according to the invention solves the difficulty encountered.

Une ligne téléphonique est utilisée pour l'émission tandis que la voie broadcast (satellite, câble, numérique terrestre, adsl...) est utilisée pour la réception des données.  A telephone line is used for the broadcast while the broadcast channel (satellite, cable, digital terrestrial, adsl ...) is used for the reception of the data.
