Service Personalization in a Terminal Device
First Claim
1. A method of performing service personalization in a terminal device receiving service signals broadcast through a first network from a server and respectively including service data and service identifiers, wherein the service signals are filtered by comparing the service identifiers with an identifier stored in the terminal to provide a service signal identified by the stored identifier, said method comprising the following steps:
- extracting common data accessible to a plurality of terminal devices and a parameter type from the identified service signal;
reading a parameter stored in the device and relating to the parameter type;
determining (E5) a final address by applying said parameter to an algorithm; and
transmitting a request including the final address through a second network to the server which transmits a first personalized file associated with the final address and including personalized data.

Abstract
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.

7. A personalization system comprising a terminal device and a server broadcasting service signals respectively including service data and service identifiers to the terminal device through a first network, the service signals being filtered by comparing the service identifiers with an identifier stored in the terminal to provide a service signal identified by the stored identifier, wherein the terminal device comprises:
-
means for storing the identifier and parameters associated with parameter types; means for extracting common data accessible to a plurality of terminal devices and a parameter type from the identified service signal; means for reading at least one stored parameter relating to the parameter type; means for determining a final address by applying said parameter to an algorithm; and means for transmitting a request including the final address through a second network to the server, and wherein the server transmits personalized data in response to the final address to the terminal device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. A computer readable medium storing a program that is executed in a terminal device receiving service signals broadcast through a first network from a server and respectively including service data and service identifiers, the service signals being filtered by comparing the service identifiers with an identifier stored in the terminal to provide a service signal identified by the stored identifier, said program comprising program instructions which, when the program is loaded and executed in said terminal device, control said terminal device to perform the following steps:
-
extracting common data accessible to a plurality of terminal devices and a parameter type from the identified service signal; reading a parameter stored in the device and relating to the parameter type; determining a final address by applying said parameter to an algorithm; and transmitting a request including the final address through a second network (RP) to the server, which transmits a first personalized file associated with the final address and including personalized data.

11. A computer program implemented in a portable recording medium having a microcontroller in communication with a terminal that receives service signals broadcast through a first network from a server and respectively including service data and service identifiers, the service signals being filtered by comparing the service identifiers with an identifier stored in the terminal to provide a service signal identified by the stored identifier, said program comprising program instructions which, when the program is loaded and executed in said terminal device, control said terminal device to perform the following steps:
-
extracting common data accessible to a plurality of terminal devices and a parameter type from the identified service signal; reading a parameter stored in the recording medium and relating to the parameter type; determining a final address by applying said parameter to an algorithm; and transmitting a request including the final address through a second network to the server, which transmits a first personalized file associated with the final address to the terminal.
