1. A method for managing the detection of advertising sequences in a stream of information stored on a mass memory module of an electronic apparatus, said information stream corresponding to an extract of a television program, said information stream including a first set of information corresponding to a content to be rendered and a second set of information, corresponding to said advertising sequences, said information stream including at least one set of video information, and teletext type data, and subtitle data associated with the stream,said method comprising:

  • analyzing the video information for detecting a format transition in the images associated with the video information;

    storing a first address information corresponding to the detected transition, and validating a first detection condition;

    analyzing the teletext type data for detecting a transition corresponding to an absence, and then a presence, of teletext subtitles associated with said video information, storing a second address information corresponding to the detected transition, and validating a second detection condition;

    analyzing the subtitle data associated with the stream for detecting a transition corresponding to an absence, then a presence of said subtitle data associated with the stream;

    storing third address information corresponding to the detected transition, and validating a third detection condition;

    if the three detection conditions are validated, identifying the stored address information as transition sequences between the second set of information and the first set of information.
