Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'augmenter le nombre de téléspectateurs visionnant les publicités télévisées dans un système d'enregistreur vidéo numérique (DVR). Dans ce procédé, les premières et les dernières secondes d'une pause publicitaire sont conçues avec soin de manière à contenir une annonce-amorce incitant le téléspectateur à regarder plusieurs publicités pendant la pause publicitaire au lieu de sauter la pause publicitaire en utilisant les fonctions « avance rapide » ou « saut » du système DVR. Une fonction « appui-livres » affiche une publicité avant et/ou après qu'un programme enregistré dans une mémoire de DVR est visionné par le téléspectateur. Le téléspectateur sélectionne un programme enregistré dans la mémoire du DVR en vue d'une lecture de celui-ci. Avant que le programme ne soit reproduit, une publicité est extraite de la mémoire et affichée avant le défilement du programme. Une autre publicité est extraite et présentée à la fin du programme.
