Patent

CA 2254130

A scalable architecture is disclosed for delivery of real-time information over a communications network. Embedded into the architecture is a control mechanism (10) that provides for the management and administration (60) of users (40) who are to receive the real-time information. Preferably, there are multiple channels of information available simultaneously to be delivered to users, each channel consisting of an independent stream of information. A user (40) chooses to tune in or tune out a particular channel, but does not choose the time at which the channel distributes its information. Advantageously, interactive (two-way) information can be incorporated into the system, multiple streams of information can be integrated for delivery to a user (40), and certain portions of the information being delivered can be tailored to the individual user (40).

L'invention se rapporte à une architecture à géométrie variable destinée à acheminer des informations en temps réel sur un réseau de communications. Un mécanisme de commande (10), intégré à l'architecture, assure la gestion et l'administration (60) des utilisateurs (40) devant recevoir les informations en temps réel. De préférence, le système comporte plusieurs canaux d'informations disponibles simultanément à acheminer aux utilisateurs, chaque canal étant constitué d'une suite indépendante d'informations. Un utilisateur (40) choisit d'activer ou de désactiver un canal donné, mais ne choisit pas le moment où le canal distribue ses informations. De manière avantageuse, des informations (bidirectionnelles) interactives peuvent être intégrées au système, plusieurs suites d'informations peuvent être intégrées pour être envoyées à un utilisateur (40), et certaines parties de ces informations en cours d'acheminement peuvent être adaptées à chaque utilisateur (40).
