Abstract

Cette invention est un système interactif en ligne pour concours, jeux d'intelligence ou de connaissances ou analogue, entre des participants à distance dont le nombre peut être illimité. Le système comporte une pluralité de terminaux de téléinformatique accessibles par des participants à distance, un fournisseur hôte central, et une liaison de communication entre le fournisseur hôte et la pluralité de terminaux. Le fournisseur hôte comporte une base de données dans laquelle sont stockées des données compilées à partir d'une quantité illimitée de sous fichiers de données provenant à l'hôte central de chacun des participants à distance. Le fournisseur hôte inclut également des moyens permettant de prendre les données provenant de chaque participant et de les évaluer par rapport aux données provenant de l'un au moins des autres participants à distance, de façon à déterminer une classe ou un classement applicable à chaque participant. En l'occurrence, le classement des participants tient compte de la nature des données reçus d'eux, dans l'optique d'affecter un classement à un tel participant à distance après comparaison des données du participant à distance considéré avec un nombre défini de fichiers d'autres participants. Enfin, l'hôte central comprend un sit web qui est accessible par chacun des participants à distance, de façon à déterminer le classement de l'un au moins des participants par rapport aux autres participants.
