Abstract

Pour que le spectateur ou l'auditeur puisse commander des produits présentés à la télévision ou à la radio, de la façon la plus simple possible avec garantie de la protection juridique qui s'impose pour cette commande, l'invention propose de transmettre et de décoder côté réception des informations additionnelles, notamment sous forme de caractères ou éventuellement d'éléments graphiques, à l'intérieur du signal de programme en corrélation temporelle avec le contenu du programme. Les informations additionnelles reçues sont temporairement mémorisées durant un certain laps de temps. Lorsque l'utilisateur passe une commande, l'information écrite et graphique contenue dans le dernier lot d'informations additionnelles reçues est produite pendant un certain laps de temps. Pendant la reproduction de l'information écrite et graphique, une information relative à la commande ou à la sélection affectée à l'information écrite et éventuellement graphique est extraite de la dernière information additionnelle mémorisée temporairement et retransmise à un commutateur automatique (p.ex. modem) lors d'une seconde commande de l'utilisateur.
