Method for transmitting audio-visual programmes proposed by users, terminal and server therefor

摘要

The present invention concerns a method of receiving audiovisual programmes transmitted to terminals. The users of the terminals choose a programme from a catalogue and make a proposition to a server to download it to their terminals. The proposition is accompanied by a price and/or deadline. The server analyses the propositions it receives and, taking account of its profitability constraints, decides whether or not it will transmit the programme. Depending on the case, it sends the acceptance to each user who has made a proposition with profitable parameters for the transmission of the programme and gives the users the means of receiving the programme for viewing. The decision to transmit the programme is determined according to various strategies the common criterion of which is profitability. The invention also concerns a terminal and a server for the implementation of the method.
