CA 2438123

Movies are distributed to customer households in a secure format on digital media such as optical disks for playing back via proprietary set-top boxes (14). A system operator produces movie disks in large quantities and delivers the disks to widely geographically dispersed distribution agents. Agents produce copies of the disks with unique agent identification codes embedded therein, and distribute the disks to local customers who have compatible playback devices. When customers view movies, information identifying the movie and a distribution agent who is responsible for the movie being distributed to that customer are communicated to the central computer of the system operator (20). The content providers are then paid royalties due and responsible distribution agents are compensated.

Selon cette invention, des films sont distribués à des ménages clients dans un format sécurisé sur un moyen numérique tel que des disques optiques, pour une lecture par l'intermédiaire de boîtiers décodeurs exclusifs. Un opérateur de système produit des disques de film en grandes quantités et distribue ces disques à des agents de distribution largement dispersés au niveau géographique. Les agents produisent des copies des disques avec des codes d'identification d'agent uniques intégrés dans lesdits disques, et distribuent ces disques à des clients locaux qui possèdent des dispositifs de lecture compatibles. Lorsque des clients visionnent des films, des informations d'identification du film et d'un agent de distribution responsable de la distribution à ce client sont communiquées à l'ordinateur central de l'opérateur de système. Les fournisseurs de contenu reçoivent ensuite des droits d'exploitation et les agents de distribution sont dédommagés.
