A method of synchronization control in a synchronization gateway equipment is proposed. The method includes: receiving first metadata relating to a first audiovisual content, the metadata having an audiovisual content identifier, a first TV broadcast channel identifier, and time-and-date information; obtaining an identifier of a user interactivity element from the audiovisual content identifier; obtaining time-and-date information for presentation of a user interactivity element from the received time-and-date information; and transmitting, in synchronized manner with the time-and-date information for presentation of the interactivity element, a request for presentation of the user interactivity element corresponding to the identifier of the user interactivity element, the request including the identifier of the user interactivity element.

Method of controlling a synchronization server, and equipment for performing the method

Data associated with transmitted information over a communication network are transmitted. The data are divided into data groups. An information item representative of the importance of the data of the data group is associated with each data group. A transmission cycle for the data groups is determined. Each data group is inserted into the determined transmission cycle a number of times depending on the importance of the data of the data group.
