发明名称 Device for selection of bearer channel type for broadcasting contents to communication terminals
摘要 A device is dedicated to selection of a type of bearer channel for broadcasting contents between a service platform adapted to set up point-to-point and point-to-multipoint type bearer channels and a terminal, each content being associated with at least one set of broadcast parameters defining at least the type of bearer channel for broadcasting it and the frequency channel on which it is broadcast on a bearer channel of the type. This device comprises: i) control module adapted, in case of selection of a content by the user of a communication terminal, to determine data representing at least one set of broadcast parameters associated with the selected content, and ii) selection module adapted, in the presence of a set that has been determined designating an accessible point-to-multipoint bearer channel, to communicate to the terminal the broadcast parameters of that set so that it can receive the selected content on the designated point-to-multipoint type bearer channel, and if not, to request the creation by the service platform of a point-to-point type bearer channel with the terminal so that it can receive the selected content on the point-to-point type bearer channel that has been created.

主权项 1. A device for selection of a type of bearer channel for broadcasting contents between a service platform, configured to set up point-to-point and point-to-multipoint type bearer channels, and a communication terminal, at least one content being associated with at least one set of broadcast parameters defining at least the type of the bearer channel for broadcasting the content and the frequency channel on which the content is broadcast on a bearer channel of the type, the device comprising: a control module configured, in case of selection of a content by the user of a communication terminal, to determine data representing at least one set of broadcast parameters associated with the selected content, and a selection module configured, in the presence of a set that has been determined designating an accessible point-to-multipoint bearer channel, to communicate to the terminal the broadcast parameters of the set so that the selected content is received on the designated point-to-multipoint type bearer channel, and if not, to request the creation by the service platform of a point-to-point type bearer channel with the terminal so that the selected content is received on the point-to-point type bearer channel that has been created, wherein, in the presence of sets designating point-to-point and point-to-multipoint type bearer channels:the control module is configured to determine at least one set of broadcast parameters associated with the selected content; andthe selection module is configured to determine the type of bearer channel designated by each set that has been determined, wherein if the type of one of the sets that have been determined is point-to-multipoint, the selection module communicates to the terminal the broadcast parameters of the set designating the point-to-multipoint type so that the selected content is received on the point-to-multipoint type bearer channel, andwherein if the type is not one of the sets that have been determined is point-to-multipoint, to request the creation by the service platform of a point-to-point type bearer channel with the terminal so that the selected content is received on the point-to-point type bearer channel that has been created.
