A METHOD FOR AUTHENTICATING THE PRESENCE OF A VIEWER DURING A PRESENTATION OF VIDEO CONTENT

摘要

A method is described for allocating compensation or rewards to viewers of broadcast content, usually commercial content, for their active participation during the broadcast of said commercial content. The method uses a receiver/decoder module associated with a security module for receiving coded messages, displaying information soliciting the viewer's intervention, verifying the validity of the viewer's intervention and recording the amount of credit allocated to the viewer.
