VERFAHREN ZUM KOMBINIERTEN RUNDSENDEN EINES FERNSEHPROGRAMMS UND EINES ZUSÄTZLICHEN MULTIMEDIA-INHALTS

摘要

Television programmes have evolved in recent years. Indeed, it happens that these programmes are enriched with additional contents which users can access via their television receiver. However, in order to take this enhancement further, it might be desired to enrich a television programme with contents that can be played, executed or broadcast on devices other than the television receiver displaying the television programme. In this case, there is a risk that broadcasting the additional content on another device might compete with the broadcasting, on the television receiver, of the television programme that it is meant to enrich. The invention makes it possible to avoid any competition between the additional content and the television programme. Thus, when the additional content (313) is broadcast, the television programme is paused (309) and only resumes (317) when the use of the additional content has ended.
