Abstract

Dans la présente invention, un programme (18) d'agent de vente virtuelle est présenté à des utilisateurs via la fonctionnalité de la technologie de programmation (10) de la télévision interactive, des systèmes de télévision améliorés qui présentent des informations (28) et du contenu retrouvés par Internet, et des systèmes de programmation fondés sur un expert. Les segments (18) d'agent de vente virtuelle font partie du même train de transmission (4) qui diffuse un message commercial associé. Les signaux de contenu, comprenant les segment commercial et d'agent de vente virtuelle, sont convertis en format numérique pour l'émission. Un codeur combine les divers signaux de contenu numérique, y compris les localisateurs de ressources universels pour les diriger sur du contenu Internet (28), sous forme d'un nombre réduit de trains de données (4) pour l'émission. Au moyen d'un contrôleur (348) à choix multiples, un utilisateur répond aux présentations d'informations ou à des messages d'interrogation. Les divers segments d'information présents dans les divers signaux de contenu sont de préférence reliés en temps réel et au niveau du contenu de sorte qu'une conversation interactive peut avoir lieu lorsque le signal de contenu est rediffusé et que l'utilisateur répond.
