Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un dispositif de traitement de données et de transactions traitant les données dans une zone de transaction virtuelle laquelle rend la transaction indépendante du support de distribution du produit. L'invention peut s'intégrer à, et fonctionner dans, différents dispositifs électroniques tels que des télévisions, des magnétoscopes, des PC, ou des télévision web. La zone de transaction comporte également un mécanisme permettant de combiner les supports et les sources de données, et de les manipuler, et un mécanisme permettant de gérer le contenu, la livraison et le moment de la livraison du produit destiné au consommateur final.
