Two service signals are transmitted from a service server through a first network in such a way that users' terminal devices display personalized service data items. When service signals are filtered, a terminal device extracts common data items accessible for several terminal devices and a parameter type from a service signal identified by a stored identifier. An end address is determined by applying a stored parameter, related to the parameter type, to a pre-recorded or transmitted algorithm. The end address is transmitted, through a second network, to a server which transmits a first personalized file associated with the end address and bearing personalized data items displayed with the common data items in the device.

Service personalization in a terminal device

The invention relates to a value-added service applied to the broadcasting of video programs or content and more particularly to mobile television (Mobile TV). The invention promotes service continuity during the broadcasting of programs having an undefined duration and the broadcasting of which has been subject to a Pay-Per-View type purchase.

Subscriber identity module and associated broadcasting server adapted for managing programs having undefined duration

In a terminal device for controlling access to multicast services over a broadcasting network, an application outputs a user-preselected broadcast service request to a router that receives the broadcast services. The request contains an address of the selected service. The device includes a filtering entity that compares the address in the request with addresses in an address list generated on the basis of at least one filtering criterion, in order to authorize the transmission of the selected service from the router to the application so that the service is delivered when the address is included in the list.
