Patent

CA 2304221

A system is provided that allows a user to select a pay program for purchase from a program guide. The program guide determines whether the selected program is part of a package of pay programs. If the selected program is part of a package, information regarding the package is provided to the user so that the user may decide whether to purchase the package. If the selected program is part of several packages, information for all packages is provided. The system automatically sets reminders for packages containing repetitive programming. The system monitors whether the user has watched any of the programs in such packages. When the user watches a program from the package, the remaining reminders are cancelled. If a user does not watch any programs in a package of any type, purchase of the package is cancelled and the user is provided with the opportunity to reschedule.

L'invention concerne un système permettant à un utilisateur de sélectionner un programme à paiement pour son acquisition à partir d'un guide électronique de programmes. Le guide de programmes détermine si le programme sélectionné fait partie d'un lot de programmes à paiement. Si le programme sélectionné fait partie d'un lot, des informations concernant ce lot sont fournies à l'utilisateur, de façon que celui-ci soit en mesure de décider s'il désire acquérir ce lot. Si le programme sélectionné fait partie de plusieurs lots, des informations relatives à tous ces lots sont fournies. Le système établit automatiquement des rappels pour des lots contenant une programmation répétitive. Le système contrôle si l'utilisateur a regardé l'un des programmes dans de tels lots. Lorsque l'utilisateur regarde un programme d'un lot, les rappels restants sont supprimés. Si un utilisateur ne regarde pas de programmes dans un lot d'un type quelconque, l'achat du lot est supprimé et l'utilisateur a la possibilité de replanifier.
