Patent

CA 2381363

A method and system are provided for impulse purchasing of services over a communication network, such as a cable or satellite television network. Such services can include games or information accompanying television programming, home-shop-ping, e-mail services, streaming media and the like. Security is provided through entitlements generated by the access controller (14) and entitlement tokens generated by a secure processor. The secure processor is located at a subscriber terminal (16) through which a subscriber orders and obtains the services. A token is generated when the subscriber either selects the service, if pre-autho-rized, or when the service is purchased on impulse. The token is secured and signed, and may be used by a policy/proxy server (18) subtending to the NO's ISP and associated services to further facilitate offering these services to the subscribers.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant l'achat-réflexe de services via un réseau de communications tel qu'un réseau de télévision par câble ou satellite. Les services concernés sont essentiellement des informations ou des jeux accompagnant les émissions de télévision, le télé-achat, les services de courrier électronique, et les supports d'information à lecture et enregistrement en continu. La sécurité est assurée par un système d'autorisations produites par le contrôleur d'accès (14) et de jetons d'autorisation produits par un processeur sécurisé. Ce processeur sécurisé est implanté dans le terminal d'abonné (16) par lequel l'abonné se procure les services. Il y a production d'un jeton dès que l'abonné sélectionne le service s'il dispose d'une autorisation préalable ou dès qu'on prend un service par achat-réflexe. Le jeton, qui est sécurisé et signé, peut servir à un serveur de politique ou à un serveur mandataire (18) sous-tendu par le fournisseur de services Internet de l'exploitant de réseau et les services associés de favoriser encore plus l'offre de ces services aux abonnés.
