Abstract
A technique for controlling the reading of a digital object by a user device. The digital object is stored locally in the memory of the user device. The reading of the digital object is conditioned by receiving at least one datum broadcast by a transmitting device using a radio communication channel. An area for reading the digital object is thus located in the radio range of the transmitter device. Reading is blocked outside of this reading area.
Claims8
A method for controlling reading of at least one digital object by a user, said digital object being stored locally by said user device, said method comprising the following acts performed by the user device:
- receiving at least one datum broadcast by a transmitting device by using a radio communication channel, said datum indicating that a reading service is offered;
- and
- reading the digital object conditional on the reception of said datum, an area in which the reading of the digital object is authorized, called a reading area, being situated within a radio range of said transmitting device.
A user device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive at least one datum broadcast by a transmitting device by using a radio communication channel, said datum indicating that a reading service is offered;
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon;
- and
- a processor configured by the instructions to perform acts comprising:
- reading a digital object stored locally by said user device:
- controlling the reading of the digital object as a function of the reception of said datum, an area in which the reading of the digital object is authorized, called a reading area, being situated within a radio range of said transmitting device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising program code instructions stored thereon to control execution of a method for controlling reading of at least one digital object by a user device, when said program is run by said user device, wherein said digital object is stored locally by said user device, and said method comprises the following acts performed by the user device:
- receiving at least one datum broadcast by a transmitting device by using a radio communication channel, said datum indicating that a reading service is offered;
- and
- reading the digital object conditional on reception of said datum, an area in which the reading of the digital object is authorized, called a reading area, being situated within a radio range of said transmitting device.
