Abstract

Un sistema para proporcionar servicios interactivos en un sistema de television por suscripcion comprende un controlador de red del sistema (28) para controlar los servicios interactivos que tiene una memoria de controlador para almacenar los datos de identificacion de terminal de suscriptor, los datos de identificacion de transaccion y los datos de regreso de transaccion, y un procesador, acoplado a la memoria del controlador para generar una transaccion que tiene datos de transaccion interactivos y datos de identificacion de transaccion. El procesador tambien correlaciona los datos de regreso de transaccion recibidos con cuando menos los datos de identificacion de transaccion y calcula los datos de compendio a partir de los mismos.
