Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé servant à distribuer et à racheter des coupons électroniques. On crée d'abord des données correspondant à un coupon et on les introduit dans une base de données. On transmet ces données par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de télécommunication, tel qu'un réseau de communication cellulaire, à au moins une station mobile, telle qu'un téléphone cellulaire ou un radiomessageur. On accède ensuite à ce coupon sur la station mobile, et, lors de son rachat, un signal lui correspondant est transmis à la base de données. Cette dernière réagit par transmission de données à la station mobile, ce qui entraîne l'effacement, l'annulation ou la diminution du coupon racheté depuis la station mobile.
