Abstract
To increase the bit rate of transfer of information from an audiovisual base to numerous requesting parties, it is proposed, when a request has been made by a requesting party, not to meet this party's request immediately but to make him wait for a given period. During this period, those other requesting parties who are asking for the same sequence are detected. At the end of a waiting period, the same sequence is sent to all these requesting parties. It is shown that, by delaying the transmission slightly, the real bit rate of transmission from the data base is increased by very substantial proportions without the need, moreover, to modify the technology of extraction of data elements from this base.
