Abstract
This invention relates to a method for transmitting information, particularly advertising information, to a user terminal capable of accessing a telecommunication network in packet mode and in circuit mode, wherein when a first connection through the network is established with said terminal according to either mode, a second connection in packet mode is established at the same time as the first connection between said terminal and an information server, and the server then transmits said information to the user terminal by means of the second connection.
Claims26
1) Method for transmitting information, particularly advertising information, to a user terminal (100, 200) that can access a telecommunication network in packet mode and in circuit mode, wherein when a first connection ((1), (1′)) via the network is requested by said terminal according to either mode, a second connection in packet mode (2) is established at the same time as the first connection between said terminal and an information server (160, 260), and the server then transmits said information to the user terminal by means of the second connection.
8) Method for transmitting information as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the server selects a presentation format for the information based on the type of user terminal.
10) Method for transmitting information as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein as the information is advertising in nature and represented on the terminal in the form of banners, the number of clicks on these banners and/or the display time of said banners is taken into account to calculate the billing for the communication over the connection or connections other than the second connection.
11) Method for transmitting information as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein said information is transported to the user terminal in the form of TCP segments in which the PSH push flag is raised.
12) Method for transmitting information as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the telecommunication network is a UMTS network.
15) System for transmitting information, particularly advertising information, to a user terminal (100, 200) by means of a telecommunication network offering access in packet mode and access in circuit mode, the system comprising service management means (170, 272, 273) and an information server (160), the system being characterized by the fact that the service management means are suited to receiving a connection request from the user terminal according to either mode and by the fact that said server is suited to establishing a second connection in packet mode at the same time as the first connection with said terminal, said server being suited to then transmitting said information to said terminal by means of a second connection.
