Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à des systèmes et à des procédés d'annotation de contenu, qui permettent d'annoter un contenu transmis par un fournisseur de contenu (11) au moyen d'un système de distribution de données (10) à un ou plusieurs ordinateurs personnels clients (16). Un module de fournisseur de contenu (33) disposé dans un ordinateur (34) commandé par le fournisseur de contenu (11) génère un contenu et des instructions d'annotation de contenu en vue d'une distribution. Le contenu et les instructions d'annotation de contenu sont envoyés au système de distribution de données (10) pour être transmis aux ordinateurs personnels clients (16). Après réception, les ordinateurs personnels client (16) exécutent les instructions d'annotation de contenu et traitent le contenu en fonction de ces instructions. Des instructions d'annotation de contenu typiques contiennent le calendrier de livraison et des instructions de priorité ainsi que des instructions d'affichage et de stockage.
