Embodiment Construction

[0043] The source device 1 is advantageously a mobile communication terminal.

[0044] The target terminal 2 may be a mobile phone, a TV receiver equipped with a decoder, a TV receiver equipped with a WiFi or Bluetooth connection, or a personal computer.

[0045] The source device is equipped with a set of means which will now be described.

[0046] Firstly, the source device 1 comprises means 3 for receiving generic electronic service guide data originating from a digital distribution network 4, such as DVB-H, DVB-H+ or DMB-S.

[0047] The source device also comprises means 5 for receiving dedicated ESG data depending on the user profile of the source device 1 , said data originating from the peer-to-peer network 6 .

[0048] Receiving generic and specific ESG data consists of three phases: identifying available ESGs, obtaining ESG fragments, and updating. A syntax for ESG data is described in document EP1791280 for the European digital television standard DVB.

Abstract

A method for sharing at least one service, in particular in interactive television service, between a source device and target communication terminal, said method comprising the following steps: receiving generic electronic service guide data, said generic data originating from a digital distribution network; receiving data specific to the user profile, said specific data originating from a peer-to-peer network connection; encrypting the generic and specific data and updating the electronic service guide of the source device; selecting a target communication terminal; selecting at least one service to transmit to said terminal; identifying fragments or pieces of fragments of the source device's electronic service guide corresponding to the service to be transmitted to the target communication terminal; transmitting the fragments or pieces of fragments of the source device's electronic service guide to target terminal, said fragments being at least partially personalized; and updating the target terminal's electronic service guide.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to distributing and receiving multimedia applications, and more particularly to a method for browsing and selecting services or audiovisual programs. [0002] Here, the term "multimedia" refers to the interactive and simultaneous use of multiple modes for displaying information (text, still or moving images, sound). Background technique [0003] Internet, landline and mobile phones, radio and television can now be obtained on a computer using a single "multifunction" modem. The convergence of audiovisual media, computing, and telecommunications has become a reality for owners of these modems. Interactive multimedia on mobile terminals also brings great benefits: MPEG4-BIFS, MPEG-LASeR (Lightweight Application Scene Representation, launched by Streamezzo), SVG (scalable vector graphics, launched by World Wide Web Consortium W3C ) and MORE (Mobile Open Rich-Media Environment, Mobile Open Rich-Media Environment, l...
