Description

PAGE DE DEMARRAGE DYNAMIQUE. DYNAMIC STARTUP PAGE.
L ' invention concerne le domaine des réseaux informatiques et plus particulièrement la consultation d'informations sur le réseau Internet. Le réseau Internet est un réseau informatique dit ouvert, dans lequel un très grand nombre de serveurs est relié et communique suivant un protocole de communication permettant la transmission d'un grand nombre d'informations, aujourd'hui le protocole TCP/IP. Cependant, ces informations nécessitent une mise en forme afin d'en permettre la consultation de manière aisée. Un ensemble de langages a été normalisé pour la création des pages consultées, comme le HTML (HyperText Markup Language) et le XML. Ces langages permettent à un logiciel spécifique, le navigateur, d'interpréter les informations de mise en page contenues dans les fichiers transmis à un poste client qui se connecte à un poste serveur. Chaque serveur est défini par une adresse spécifique et peut contenir un très grand nombre de pages d ' informations . Ces pages sont généralement regroupées en un ensemble homogène en tant que site Internet. Le passage d'une page à une autre est facilité par l'existence de liens HTML vers les pages existantes . Ces liens permettent de requérir l'envoi d'une nouvelle page qui sera elle-même interprétée par le navigateur. La page peut également comporter des parties de programmes, usuellement en langage JAVA de SUN, permettant de rendre interactive la page ou d'effectuer des opérations de manière automatique.The invention relates to the field of computer networks and more particularly the consultation of information on the Internet. The Internet network is a so-called open computer network, in which a very large number of servers are connected and communicate according to a communication protocol allowing the transmission of a large number of information, today the TCP / IP protocol. However, this information requires formatting in order to allow easy consultation. A set of languages has been standardized for the creation of the pages consulted, such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and XML.

Each server is defined by a specific address and can contain a very large number of pages of information. These pages are generally grouped into a homogeneous whole as a website. Moving from one page to another is facilitated by the existence of HTML links to existing pages.

Le développement rapide du réseau Internet a permis l'apparition d'un ensemble d'outils permettant de le considérer comme un véritable moyen de communication. En particulier, un enjeu très important réside dans la communication faite par les entreprises possédant un site Internet. Il existe différents moyens permettant de faire connaître l'existence d'un site et d'attirer un utilisateur sur le site. Le moyen le plus naturel consiste à communiquer en dehors du réseau Internet, dans des formats publicitaires classiques comme la presse ou la télévision. L'utilisateur doit alors noter l'adresse ou le nom du site et doit ensuite se connecter au réseau Internet pour retrouver le site. Cette méthode est intéressante pour une communication globale ne prenant pas nécessairement en compte le retour des investissements.The rapid development of the Internet has allowed the appearance of a set of tools allowing it to be considered as a real means of communication. In particular, a very important issue lies in the communication made by companies with a website. There are different ways to publicize the existence of a site and attract a user to the site. The most natural way is to communicate outside the Internet, in conventional advertising formats such as the press or television. The user must then note the address or the name of the site and must then connect to the Internet to find the site. This method is interesting for global communication that does not necessarily take into account the return on investment.
Des moyens plus efficaces consistent à utiliser les outils existant dans le réseau lui-même. Des messages électroniques personnalisés peuvent être envoyés aux utilisateurs, éventuellement en utilisant des méthodes de définition de profil de consommateur. Ces méthodes sont connues pour n'être que peu appréciées des utilisateurs quand les messages ne sont pas sollicités, ce qui réduit la portée de ce moyen de communication.More efficient means consist in using the tools existing in the network itself. Personalized email messages can be sent to users, possibly using consumer profile definition methods. These methods are known to be little appreciated by users when messages are not requested, which reduces the scope of this means of communication.
Les pages existant sur le réseau peuvent constituer un nouveau support publicitaire. La version la plus simple consiste à afficher sa publicité sur la page visualisée. Cette méthode n'utilise pas les avantages du réseau qui permettent de changer rapidement de pages . Une amélioration de cette méthode consiste à associer le client de l'annonceur à la publicité. la technique dite des bannières s ' est développée sur ce principe en proposant un système de rétribution lié aux résultats directs de 1 ' annonce . A chaque fois que 1 ' annonce permet à un nouvel utilisateur de se connecter sur le site de l'annonceur, le site d'origine est rétribué suivant un barème prédéfini. Le principal inconvénient réside dans le fait que les utilisateurs sont habitués à ces affichages et ne les regardent plus après un certain temps .Pages existing on the network can constitute a new advertising medium. The simplest version is to display your advertisement on the page viewed. This method does not use the advantages of the network, which allows you to quickly change pages. An improvement of this method consists in associating the advertiser's client with the advertisement. the so-called banner technique has developed on this principle by proposing a system of compensation linked to the direct results of the advertisement. Each time the advertisement allows a new user to connect to the advertiser's site, the original site is paid according to a predefined scale. The main drawback is that users are used to these displays and do not look at them after a while.
L'invention propose un nouveau mode de communication permettant de s ' assurer à la fois que l'intérêt de l'utilisateur est intact tout en évitant de le lasser. L'invention permet d'améliorer la qualité d'une campagne publicitaire et ne nécessite pas de modification majeure de la configuration de l'utilisateur. Il est de plus possible d'effectuer les mêmes opérations de création et de gestion de profils permettant un meilleur ciblage des annonces .The invention proposes a new mode of communication making it possible to ensure both that the interest of the user is intact while avoiding to tire him. The invention makes it possible to improve the quality of a advertising campaign and does not require any major modification to the user configuration. It is also possible to perform the same operations for creating and managing profiles allowing better targeting of ads.
L'invention utilise la première page qui s ' affiche dans le navigateur et propose de la gérer à des fins publicitaires. Cette première page, également appelée page de démarrage, sert généralement de point d'accueil à l'utilisateur. Cette page de démarrage peut alors consister en une page de site personnel, de site d'une entreprise ou d'un fournisseur d'accès. Le choix de cette page s'effectue en général en paramétrant la zone prévue à cet effet dans les options du navigateur. L'utilisateur ne possédant pas de connaissance précise du fonctionnement du navigateur laissera la page de démarrage paramétrée par défaut par le distributeur de logiciel .The invention uses the first page which is displayed in the browser and proposes to manage it for advertising purposes. This first page, also called the start page, generally serves as a welcome point for the user. This start page can then consist of a personal site page, a business site page or an access provider. The choice of this page is generally made by configuring the area provided for this purpose in the browser options. The user who does not have precise knowledge of the functioning of the browser will leave the start page configured by default by the software distributor.
L'invention consiste à proposer un procédé d'affichage de page publicitaire, ou de toute autre fichier multimédia, en modifiant le mécanisme d'affichage des pages de démarrage. Le procédé selon l'invention permet un affichage dynamique de la page et une gestion des pages par l'annonceur. Il est également possible de modifier ces pages en fonction du profil de l'utilisateur et de s'adapter à ses préférences et à des choix prédéfinis.The invention consists in proposing a method for displaying an advertising page, or any other multimedia file, by modifying the mechanism for displaying the start pages. The method according to the invention allows dynamic display of the page and management of the pages by the advertiser. It is also possible to modify these pages according to the user's profile and to adapt to his preferences and predefined choices.
L'invention consiste en un procédé de transmission de fichiers multimédia sur un poste client dans un réseau informatique ouvert du type Internet comportant une pluralité de serveurs de fichiers, ledit procédé comportant une étape de lancement sur le poste client d'un programme de gestion de transfert de fichiers entre le poste client et les serveurs de fichiers, caractérisé en ce que l'ouverture d'une session du programme de gestion des transferts de fichiers comporte les étapes suivantes: - une étape d'envoi par le programme de gestion de transfert de fichiers d'une requête à un poste distributeur de référencement modifiable de fichiers multimédia mémorisés et sur un poste serveur; - une étape de transmission au poste client de la référence d'un fichier multimédia référencé; une étape de téléchargement dudit fichier multimédia référencé.The invention consists of a method of transmitting multimedia files on a client station in an open computer network of the Internet type comprising a plurality of file servers, said method comprising a step of launching on the client station a program for managing file transfer between the client station and the file servers, characterized in that the opening of a session of the file transfer management program comprises the following steps: a step of sending by the file transfer management program a request to a modifiable referencing distributor station of stored multimedia files and to a server station; a step of transmitting to the client station the reference of a referenced multimedia file; a step of downloading said referenced multimedia file.
Avantageusement, le fichier multimédia consiste en fichier utilisant un langage du type HTML.Advantageously, the multimedia file consists of a file using a language of the HTML type.
Dans des variantes, on peut télécharger télécharge des fichiers vidéo, des fichiers sonores, ou des fichiers graphiques associés au fichier multimédia.In variants, one can download downloads video files, sound files, or graphic files associated with the multimedia file.
Préférentiellement, le téléchargement est suivi d'une étape de traitement dudit fichier multimédia.Preferably, the download is followed by a step of processing said multimedia file.
Le fichier peut également comporter des éléments publicitaires .The file may also contain advertising elements.
Avantageusement, la requête envoie des informations concernant le profil de l'utilisateur du programme de gestion de transferts de fichiers. Les références transmises par le poste distributeur peuvent alors dépendre du profil envoyé par le programme de gestion de transfert de fichier.Advantageously, the request sends information concerning the profile of the user of the file transfer management program. The references transmitted by the distributor can then depend on the profile sent by the file transfer management program.
Un traitement adapté au fichier multimédia téléchargé est effectué après le téléchargement ou pendant le téléchargement, dans le cadre d'applications en temps réel.Processing adapted to the downloaded multimedia file is carried out after the download or during the download, in the context of real-time applications.
L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description d'un exemple détaillé de réalisation. L'utilisateur modifie ses paramètres, ou se sert d'un programme spécifique permettant de modifier ces paramètres, pour choisir une page de démarrage définie par l'annonceur. L'utilisateur peut, dans une variante avantageuse, accepter la mémorisation sur son poste d'un fichier de profil dans lequel les informations concernant son identité sont mémorisées .The invention will be better understood from the description of a detailed embodiment. The user modifies his parameters, or uses a specific program allowing these parameters to be modified, to choose a start page defined by the advertiser. The user can, in an advantageous variant, accept the memorization on his station of a profile file in which information concerning his identity is stored.
L'annonceur joue ici le rôle de distributeur de références permettant d'obtenir les fichiers multimédia destinés à être téléchargés sur le poste client.Here, the advertiser plays the role of distributor of references making it possible to obtain the multimedia files intended to be downloaded to the client workstation.
La page de démarrage de 1 ' annonceur ne contient aucune information. Elle sert de relais part lequel l'utilisateur va télécharger une nouvelle page prédéfinie par l'annonceur. Ce dispositif utilise des mécanismes de redirection connus dans le langage JAVA. Ces mécanismes, tels qu'ils sont gérés suivant par l'invention, sont modifiables à tout moment par l'annonceur.The advertiser's start page contains no information. It serves as a relay from which the user will download a new page predefined by the advertiser. This device uses redirection mechanisms known in the JAVA language. These mechanisms, as managed according to the invention, can be modified at any time by the advertiser.
Lorsqu'il se connecte l'utilisateur télécharge un premier fichier contenant les informations de redirection. Ces informations consistent essentiellement en l'adresse d'une nouvelle page définie par l'annonceur. Ces informations sont gérées par un poste serveur spécifique, le poste distributeur, possédant l'ensemble des références de pages définies par un annonceur. Dans le cas où l'utilisateur a accepté de divulguer des informations personnelles , la première requête de téléchargement transmet les informations concernant cet utilisateur à la base de donnée du poste distributeur qui choisit une référence adaptée à ce profil. Ce profil permet de segmenter l'ensemble des utilisateurs et de mieux cibler l'envoi des annonces . Un profil comporte toutes les informations que l'utilisateur a accepté de divulguer. Ce profil est avantageusement mémorisé dans une base de donnée annexe, les mémorisés chez l'utilisateur ne consistant qu'en un identifiant et éventuellement un authentifiant. Après la requête de connexion, la référence envoyée par la base de donnée permet de télécharger la première de page d' information.When connecting, the user downloads a first file containing the redirection information. This information essentially consists of the address of a new page defined by the advertiser. This information is managed by a specific server station, the distributor station, having all of the page references defined by an advertiser. In the event that the user has agreed to disclose personal information, the first download request transmits the information concerning this user to the database of the distributor station which chooses a reference adapted to this profile. This profile allows to segment all users and to better target the sending of ads. A profile contains all the information that the user has agreed to disclose. This profile is advantageously stored in an annex database, the stored in the user only consisting of an identifier and possibly an authenticator. After the connection request, the reference sent by the database allows the first page of information to be downloaded.
L'ensemble des références est totalement géré par l'annonceur. Il peut décider de la fréquence des modifications et du type de référence utilisé. Il est possible de modifier la référence de démarrage à chaque lancement du navigateur, suivant un cycle ou à une fréquence temporelle (tous les jours, par exemple) . Le procédé selon 1 ' invention permet de s ' assurer que les fichiers multimédia et les pages HTML téléchargés seront effectivement vus ou utilisés .All references are fully managed by the advertiser. He can decide how often modifications and the type of reference used. It is possible to modify the start reference each time the browser is launched, according to a cycle or at a time frequency (daily, for example). The method according to the invention makes it possible to ensure that the multimedia files and the downloaded HTML pages will actually be seen or used.
Il est également possible de rendre la redirection aléatoire pour l'utilisateur. Les références sont alors choisies dans la base de donnée du poste distributeur suivant des algorithmes de parcours pseudoaléatoires . It is also possible to make the redirect random for the user. The references are then chosen from the database of the distributor station according to pseudo-random path algorithms.
