Signal transmission management system
First Claim
1. A system for transmitting a set of signals from at least one signal source to a plurality of subscriber receivers, wherein each signal represents information belonging to a particular contents category, comprising:
- at least one client computer coupled to a central management server wherein the at least one client computer adapted to produce administrative instructions for organizing a sub-set of the signals to be transmitted over at least one transmission resource, wherein the administrative instructions produced by the at least one client computer specifies, for each signal to be transmitted, at least a time instance and a contents category, wherein the contents category for at least one sub-segment of each signal determines which sub-segment that will be presented in which subscriber receiver of the plurality of subscriber receivers; and
the central management server adapted to receive, from the at least one client computer, the administrative instructions produced at the at least one client computer pertaining to the transmission of the signals to the subscriber receivers, and in response to the administrative instructions organize signals from the at least one signal source before transmitting the set of signals to at least one of the plurality of subscriber receivers.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for transmitting a set of signals to a plurality of subscriber receivers, where each signal represents information which belongs to a particular contents category. At least one client computer coupled to a central management server. Thus, the client computer(s) may produce administrative instructions for organizing a sub-set of the signals to be transmitted to the subscriber receivers. The central management server receives the administrative instructions pertaining to the transmission of the signals. In response to the administrative instructions, the central management server organizes and synchronizes signals originating from one or more signal sources before these signals are transmitted to at least one of the plurality of subscriber receivers. Thus, the contents category of each signal determines which signal that will be presented in which subscriber receiver.
