The information dissemination system operates as follows.

The subscriber - the owner of the peripheral device 2 sends a request message, for example, in the format El 63, E 164; SMS USSD Dial-Ur; DTMF or an Internet request, for example, through WAP, etc., and / or a voice menu system, and / or in any combination thereof, to a hardware-software complex 1. Connection of peripheral devices 2 with information channels is optionally carried out after registration of the subscriber in the registration unit 5. Registration can be done in real time (on lipe) or in delayed mode, for example by SMS, etc. The registration data of the subscriber of each peripheral device 2 is stored in the database 6, and the subscriber receives a message about his successful registration in block 5 or refusal to process requests from this subscriber. For example, to distribute certain information, the registration message may contain information about the age of the subscriber, which is sometimes a criterion for registration or denial of service of the subscriber. Depending on the registration result, the registration unit 5 allows or prohibits further processing of the received request.

Authorized processing request ^'registered subscriber is transmitted through the control unit 10 and block 9 selection control information in the unit 7 mailings generating which generates an information channel to a subscriber generated upon request information block. Providing subscriber information unit via the network 3 the data transmission, and / or via ITERPET network 14, and / or via mass media 16, and / or a physical medium formed by the information medium forming unit 17, delivered It is a means of delivery 18. Block 9 selection management information contains a set of programs and rules, including voice menus or SMS menus, etc.

Sources of information for the formation of the information block are the database 6, the network 14 Internet and media 16. The subscriber’s request is processed by the information selection control unit 9, it selects the requested information from the information sources and generates the required information block.

The hardware-software complex 1, using the statistics block 8, processes statistical data, for example, the activity of subscribers, the number and types of information blocks requested and received by the subscriber, the popularity of programs, works or artists, the status of the subscriber's account. The subscriber, through the interaction unit 12 with the payment unit 11, can request the current state of his account in the financial institution 11, as well as transfer to the hardware-software complex 1 a requirement to transfer funds from his account in the financial institution 11 to his account in the system or online 3.

In the case of commercial distribution of information, the system through the registration unit 5 and the database 6 checks the solvency of the subscriber.

The information block formed at the request of the subscriber can also be directed to the block 17 of the formation of the physical information carrier. Storage medium (CD, DVD, paper, etc.), formed at the choice of the subscriber, is delivered to him by any means of delivery 18, for example, by mail or courier.

A subscriber listening to a radio program, watching a television program or an Internet broadcast can request a translation into another language. In this case, the control unit 10 sends a request to the translation center 20 through the interaction unit 19 with the translation center. The translation center 20 carries out the requested translation, which can be transmitted synchronously or in delayed mode to the subscriber via the network 3, as well as be a source of distributed information and be attracted by blocks 7 and 9 to form information blocks.

The information block received by the subscriber through the network 3 may, through the interface unit 23, enter the block 22 for reproducing audio information and / or video information, while the ordered information, for example, a musical or literary work, is listened to or watched by one to an unlimited number of people.

A subscriber located in a certain country, through his peripheral device 26 through a local data network 25 transmits a request message to a hardware-software complex 24 located in the corresponding geographical area. The hardware-software complex 24 sends the request message to the hardware-software complex 1 located in another via the ITEREPET network 14 or through a dedicated digital communication channel country. After processing the request with the hardware-software complex 1, the subscriber receives the information block requested by him on his peripheral device 26. In particular, the information block received by the subscriber can, through the interface block 23, enter the block 22 for reproducing audio information and / or video information, namely, a radio tape recorder car, can listen to information distributed by the media of another country, including in various languages. The user through the peripheral device 26 can be connected directly to the hardware-software complex 1, for example, using standard telephone communications. However, this communication option is more expensive.

The subscriber-owner of the peripheral device 26 may, through the local data network 25, transmit a request message to the hardware-software complex 24 located in the corresponding geographical area and receive information generated by the hardware-software complex 1 through the Internet network 14.
