Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the remote purchase of a product or service and for exploiting and storing multimedia contents. It comprises a ventilated housing that includes: one or more electronic boards having flashable firmware(s); one or more data storage systems (such as hard drives or flash card readers); a set of connection ports for communicating with any type of digital and/or analogue apparatus for using, sharing, broadcasting data with it or through it (such as text, audio, video, image, computer or electronic data); and a power supply system. The device of the invention is connected to a remote computer server of a provider (by whom it is authenticated), depending on the embodiment, either via a modem or via an adapter/card that is itself connected to a modem or a router (via Wi-Fi, CPL or the like) for accessing the provider's remote server. The provider's server gives access to the servers of products and services sellers (via the computer network) with which the device of the invention exchanges data. Hence, it can display on a receiver, to which it is connected, menus to be selected via an alphanumeric remote control so that the client can find the desired product or service and buy it. The characteristics of the device also allow the remote purchase, download, recording/storage, reading/broadcasting (depending on the rights acquired) and share of any multimedia content. Some configuration also include one and/or the other of the following additional components: a tuner; a TV and/or radio antenna; a hardware payment system optionally fitted with an alphanumeric pad for authentication; an alphanumeric keyboard (with or without: cord/trackball/touchpad) for replacing or completing the remote control. It is particularly adapted for use with on demand video and/or music services and for the remote purchase of products and services, essentially for people who do not have access to the Internet (due to the complexity thereof and to the inherent risks of use), or for people who do not want to connect their computer and their TV set or do not want to come and go between them during a video or music session.
Description
DISPOSITIF D'ACHAT A DISTANCE DE PRODUIT OU SERVICE ET D'EXPLOITATION ET DE STOCKAGE DE CONTENUS MULTIMEDIA. DEVICE FOR REMOTELY PURCHASING PRODUCT OR SERVICE AND OPERATING AND STORING MULTIMEDIA CONTENTS.
La présente invention est un appareil numérique permettant d'acheter à distance, de recevoir et de diffuser sur un récepteur (tel qu'un moniteur, un téléviseur, un ordinateur, une chaîne hifi ou tout autre produit susceptible d'agir en tant que tel), de la vidéo et/ou de l'audio à Ia demande (tel que et non limitativement : des films, des émissions, des concerts, des enregistrements musicaux). Par extension naturelle, il permet d'acheter à distance tous types de produits ou de services et d'échanger à distance du texte, des fichiers informatiques, du son, de l'image (pour des applications telles que l'échanges de mail, la téléphonie classique ou sur IP, la visioconférence). A ce jour, bon nombre de personnes achète des produits à distance chez des sociétés de VPC (vente par correspondance) via leurs catalogues papier mais ne dispose pas encore d'accès à internet, pour effectuer ces mêmes achats, étant réfractaire à la complexité de ses applications et inquiets de Ia sécurité des transactions. D'autres disposent d'un tel accès mais n'utilisent pas les sites de vidéo à la demande pour des raisons pratiques : notamment, par exemple, la contrainte de relier leur ordinateur au téléviseur du salon par des fils disgracieux ou de devoir multiplier les allers et venues entre leurs tv et leurs ordinateurs en cours de séance ... Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention is a digital apparatus for remotely purchasing, receiving and broadcasting on a receiver (such as a monitor, a television, a computer, a stereo or any other product capable of acting as such ), video and / or audio on demand (such as, but not limited to, movies, programs, concerts, musical recordings). By natural extension, it allows to buy remotely all types of products or services and remotely exchange text, computer files, sound, image (for applications such as email exchanges, traditional or IP telephony, videoconferencing). To date, many people buy products remotely from mail order companies through their paper catalogs but do not yet have access to the internet, to make the same purchases, being refractory to the complexity of its applications and worried about the security of transactions. Others have such access but do not use video-on-demand sites for practical reasons: for example, the constraint of connecting their computer to the living room TV with unsightly wires or having to comings and goings between their tv and their computers during the session ... The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages.
H comporte en effet un boîtier ventilé (système de refroidissement tel qu'un ventilateur intégré et/ou des orifices dans la structure même du boîtier pour faciliter la dispersion de la chaleur produite par les composants de notre dispositif) (une variante consisterait a ce qu'il ne le soit pas) intégrant une (une variante serait plusieurs) carte(s) électronique(s) (ayant pour fonction de piloter l'ensemble des fonctions de notre dispositif) possédant un (des) firmware(s) flashable(s) de manière à lui assurer une parfaite compatibilité avec tous les formats notamment informatique, texte, image, audio et vidéo connus, et une parfaite évolutjvité qu'elle soit, entre autres, fonctionnelle , ergonomique, de sécurité ou de compatibilité avec les prochains formats notamment informatique, texte, image, audio et vidéo. U possède également, pour le piloter, une télécommande (une variante serait, en complément ou en remplacement, un clavier alphanumérique, avec ou sans fil, incluant lui même optionnellement un track-ball (ou un touch pad)) qui permettra au client d'interagir sur les menus qui s'afficheront sur Ie récepteur (tel qu'un moniteur, un téléviseur, un ordinateur, ou tout autre produit susceptible d'agir en tant que tel) qui sera connecté à notre dispositif (via le/les port(s) de connexion cités plus bas + un/des câble(s) adapté(s)). Le dispositif dispose, par ailleurs, d'un panneau de contrôle de certaines de ses fonctions essentielles (panneau intégré au boîtier). Il dispose également d'un emplacement (muni d'un accès par l'extérieur facile), de connecteurs et de composants adéquats pour accueillir un disque dur (différents formats compatibles envisageables ; une variante consisterait à commercialiser une version de notre dispositif avec disque dur d'origine ; une autre variante consisterait à prévoir la connectique (comme citée plus bas) et la compatibilité adéquate pour le branchement d'un disque dur externe : plusieurs formats envisageables) ou, en variante inclusive ou exclusive, tout autre support de stockage (tel que, et non limitativement, des lecteurs de cartes flash). H intègre, suivant le modèle, un modem (de type tel que, et non limitativement, ADSL1 CABLE ou CPL (courant porteur en ligne) lui permettant de se connecter à distance à un serveur informatique et plus généralement à un réseau informatique de type tel que
ADSL, CABLE ou CPL) et/ou un(e) adaptateur/carte de type tel que, et non limitativement, CPL ou Wl-Fl lui permettant d'accéder par un réseau électrique ou sans fil (suivant Ie type d'adaptateur/ de carte retenu(e)) à un appareil tel qu'un modem ou un routeur (de type tel que ADSL ou CABLE ; muni d'un adaptateur CPL ou Wl-Fl) (lui permettant de se connecter à distance à un serveur informatique et plus généralement à un réseau informatique de type tel que ADSL, CABLE, CPL). Il possède un système d'alimentation électrique propre se branchant à une prise de courant. Une variante pourrait l'en dispenser pour peu qu'elle soit assurée par le récepteur (tel qu'un moniteur, un téléviseur, un ordinateur, une chaîne hifi ou tout autre produit susceptible d'agir en tant que tel) auquel il sera connecté. Il disposera de ports de connexion tels que : téléphonique, antenne, câble, réseau, usb, firewire, RVB, YuV, HDMI, DVI, S-Vidéo, Vidéo, Audio, Coaxiale, Optique, ou tout autre type de port de connexion numérique et/ou analogique lui permettant de communiquer avec tout type d'appareil numérique et/ou analogique pour utiliser, partager, diffuser (entre autre fonction et sans limitation à celles-ci) avec lui, ou via lui, des éléments de toute nature (tels que texte, image, audio, vidéo, informatique, électronique). Le dispositif se connectera à distance via un réseau (tel que ADSL, CABLE, CPL) et un serveur d'un provider (fournisseur d'accès à un réseau informatique tel que internet) à l'un de nos serveurs ou à l'un des serveurs de notre / nos partenaire (s) marchand(s). Il s'authentifiera (auprès des différents serveurs sus-cités) et l'état du compte de notre client sera vérifié. Soit notre client aura créé et alimenté son compte par des moyens tels que, et non limitativement, internet (tel que, et non limitativement, carte bancaire) et/ou par courrier (tel que, et non limitativement, chèque, mandat postal) et alors il sera en position d'acheter un produit ou un service. Soit notre client pourra le créer, l'alimenter en interagissant, au moyen de la télécommande (ou éventuellement du clavier) de notre dispositif, sur les menus qui s'afficheront sur son récepteur (tel qu'un moniteur, un téléviseur, un ordinateur, une ou tout autre produit susceptible d'agir en tant que tel) de façon sécurisée : software et/ou hardware. Soit notre client pourra effectuer ses achats au coup par coup, en payant, directement en suivant les menus qui s'afficheront sur ce même récepteur (à nouveau de façon sécurisée : software et/ou hardware) par des moyens tels que la carte bancaire, ou indirectement par des moyens tels que chèque (par courrier), mandat postal. Notre client aura accès, dans tous les cas, par titre, genre ou tout autre classement à tous les produits et services achetables (ou consultables gratuitement). Dans le cas particulier, d'audio et/ou de vidéo à la demande, les programmes seront achetés pour une ou plusieurs séances ou pour un usage illimité. Dans les deux premiers cas de ce cas particulier, une fois l'achat validé, le client pourra diffuser le programme sur un récepteur (tel qu'un moniteur, un téléviseur, un ordinateur, une chaîne hifï ou tout autre produit susceptible d'agir en tant que tel) dans la limite des droits acquis (il sera diffusé en streaming à partir du serveur de notre partenaire (ou du nôtre) via notre dispositif ; une variante consisterait à télécharger d'abord (ou en parallèle du streaming) le programme sur le disque dur : le dispositif lirait alors directement sur le disque dur ces programmes dans la limite des droits achetés). Dans le troisième cas de ce cas particulier, le client pourra regarder le programme pendant que son téléchargement s'opérera définitivement sur le disque dur (et bien sûr après : le
dispositif lira le programme directement sur le disque dur sans limitation d'usage). Les informations importantes de sécurité et d'identification sont enregistrées en usine dans une mémoire spécifique sécurisée (de façon software et/ou hardware). Une variante nous permettrait de se passer de cette mémoire spécifique. De façon générale, un / plusieurs logiciel(s) (firmware(s)) permet(tent) de gérer toutes les fonctions du dispositif qui fonctionne donc comme un lecteur/enregistreur multimédia évolué mais également et non limitativement comme un dispositif permettant de consulter/utiliser/partager/envoyer/diffuser/visualiser/écouter des informations textes, image, audio, vidéo, informatiques, électroniques et utiliser, commander (et gérer ses commandes), acheter (et gérer ses achats) à distance tout type de produit ou de service. Selon une variante, notre invention pourra également disposer d'un lecteur intégré (ou externe) de carte bancaire, ou tout autre carte de paiement existante ou à venir, (disposant lui-même en variante d'un pavé alphanumérique pour authentification) qui se connectera à un ou plusieurs partenaires bancaire(s) pour effectuer la transaction de façon encore plus sûre. Cette connexion se fera alors soit de façon sécurisée par internet, soit par la ligne téléphonique classique (ou IP sécurisée) en s'inspirant du procédé TPE des commerçants. La différence majeure, avec le système commerçant, résidera dans le fait qu'à chaque connexion à la banque, les informations de paiements seront transmises pour débit du compte client et crédit du nôtre ou de celui de notre partenaire. Egalement, selon une variante, notre dispositif pourra disposer d'un tuner (simple ou multiple) compatible tnt (une variante consisterait à ce qu'il soit compatible avec d'autres formats) de façon à pouvoir diffuser sur un récepteur (tel qu'un moniteur, un téléviseur, un ordinateur, une chaîne hifi ou tout autre produit susceptible d'agir en tant que tel) un grand nombre de chaînes télé et/ou stations de radio, dans la meilleure qualité de réception possible, quelque soit l'endroit où on l'emporte. Nous pourrions, dès lors, également enregistrer des programmes variés (sur le /les moyen(s) de stockage de notre dispositif) et utiliser par exemple la fonction de time shifting. Une variante à notre dispositif intégrerait une antenne TV et/ou radio d'intérieur.H indeed has a ventilated housing (cooling system such as an integrated fan and / or holes in the structure of the housing itself to facilitate the dispersion of the heat produced by the components of our device) (a variant would be that 'it is not) integrating a (a variant would be several) electronic card (s) (having the function to control all the functions of our device) with a firmware (s) flashable (s) ) in order to ensure perfect compatibility with all known formats including computer, text, image, audio and video, and a perfect evolution whether it is, among other things, functional, ergonomic, security or compatibility with the next formats including computer, text, image, audio and video. U also possesses, for the piloting, a remote control (a variant would be, in complement or replacement, an alphanumeric keyboard, with or without wire, including itself optionally a track-ball (or a touch pad)) which will allow the customer to interact on the menus that will be displayed on the receiver (such as a monitor, TV, computer, or any other product that might act as such) that will be connected to our device (via the port (s) connection (s) below + a suitable cable (s). The device has, moreover, a control panel of some of its essential functions (integrated panel to the housing). It also has a location (with easy access from the outside), connectors and components to accommodate a hard drive (different formats compatible conceivable, a variant would be to market a version of our device with hard drive Another variant would be to provide connectivity (as mentioned below) and adequate compatibility for the connection of an external hard drive: several possible formats) or, as an inclusive or exclusive variant, any other storage medium ( such as, and not limited to, flash card readers). H integrates, according to the model, a modem (such as, and not limited to, ADSL 1 CABLE or CPL (line carrier) allowing it to connect remotely to a computer server and more generally to a computer network type such as ADSL, CABLE or CPL) and / or an adapter / card of type such as, and not limited to, CPL or Wl-Fl allowing it to access via an electrical or wireless network (depending on the type of adapter / selected card) to a device such as a modem or a router (such as ADSL or CABLE, equipped with a CPL or Wl-Fl adapter) (allowing it to connect remotely to a computer server and more generally to a computer network of type such as ADSL, CABLE, CPL). It has a clean power supply that plugs into a power outlet. A variant could dispense with it provided that it is provided by the receiver (such as a monitor, a TV, a computer, a stereo or any other product likely to act as such) to which it will be connected . It will have connection ports such as: telephone, antenna, cable, network, usb, firewire, RGB, YuV, HDMI, DVI, S-Video, Video, Audio, Coaxial, Optical, or any other type of digital connection port and / or analog to communicate with any type of digital and / or analog device to use, share, broadcast (among other functions and without limitation to them) with him, or via him, elements of any kind ( such as text, image, audio, video, computer, electronics). The device will connect remotely via a network (such as ADSL, CABLE, CPL) and a server of a provider (provider of access to a computer network such as internet) to one of our servers or to one servers of our / our merchant partner (s). It will authenticate (with the various servers mentioned above) and the state of the account of our client will be verified. Either our client will have created and supplied his account by means such as, and not limited to, internet (such as, and not limited to, credit card) and / or by mail (such as, and not limited to, check, money order) and then he will be in a position to buy a product or service. Either our client can create it, feed it by interacting, by means of the remote control (or possibly the keyboard) of our device, on the menus which will be displayed on its receiver (such as a monitor, a television, a computer , one or any other product likely to act as such) securely: software and / or hardware. Either our client will be able to make his purchases on a case-by-case basis, by paying, directly by following the menus that will be displayed on the same receiver (again in a secure way: software and / or hardware) by means such as the bank card, or indirectly by means such as check (by mail), money order. Our customer will have access, in all cases, by title, genre or any other classification to all products and services that can be purchased (or available for free). In the particular case of audio and / or video on demand, programs will be purchased for one or more sessions or for unlimited use. In the first two cases of this particular case, once the purchase has been validated, the customer may broadcast the program on a receiver (such as a monitor, a television set, a computer, a hi-fi system or any other product likely to act as such) in the limit of acquired rights (it will be streamed from the server of our partner (or ours) via our device, a variant would be to download first (or in parallel streaming) the program on the hard disk: the device would then read directly on the hard disk these programs within the limit of rights purchased). In the third case of this particular case, the client will be able to watch the program while its download will be made permanently on the hard disk (and of course after: the device will read the program directly to the hard disk without limitation of use). The important security and identification information is saved at the factory in a specific secure memory (software and / or hardware). A variant would allow us to do without this specific memory. In general, one / more software (s) (firmware) allows (tent) to manage all the functions of the device which therefore functions as an advanced multimedia player / recorder but also and not as a limitation device for consulting / use / share / send / broadcast / view / listen to text, image, audio, video, computer, electronic information and use, order (and manage orders), purchase (and manage purchases) remotely any type of product or service. According to one variant, our invention may also have an integrated reader (or external) credit card reader, or any other existing or future payment card (which itself has an alphanumeric keypad for authentication) which will connect to one or more banking partners to make the transaction even safer. This connection will be made either securely via the Internet or the conventional telephone line (or secure IP) inspired by the process TPE traders. The major difference, with the merchant system, reside in the fact that each connection to the bank, the payment information will be transmitted to debit the customer account and credit of ours or that of our partner. Also, according to a variant, our device may have a tuner (single or multiple) compatible with TNT (a variant would be that it is compatible with other formats) so as to be able to broadcast on a receiver (such as a monitor, a TV, a computer, a stereo or any other product likely to act as such) a large number of TV channels and / or radio stations, in the best quality of reception possible, whatever the where you take it. We could, therefore, also record various programs (on the means (s) of storage of our device) and use for example the function of time shifting. An alternative to our device would incorporate a TV antenna and / or indoor radio.
