A system is described for allowing "pay by time" purchasing of digital video programming. The system provides for a variable or metered approach. A user can purchase a fraction of a program for a price different from that required for purchasing the entire program. Records of the user's viewing can be created to record, e.g., when a user started receiving a program, how long the user received a program, and when the user stopped receiving a program.
L'invention concerne un système permettant l'achat <= à paiement temporel >= d'une programmation de vidéo numérique. Le système fournit une approche variable ou comptée. Un utilisateur peut acheter une partie d'un programme à un prix différent de celui demandé pour l'achat du programme complet. Des enregistrements des images visualisées par l'utilisateur peuvent être créés pour enregistrer, p. ex., le moment où l'utilisateur commence à recevoir un programme, combien de temps l'utilisateur reçoit le programme et le moment où l'utilisateur cesse de recevoir le programme.
