Abstract
Abstract The user terminals (3) linked to the system are provided with a graphics function capable of generating particular non-elementary image components on the screen of each terminal in dependence on respective input commands. The graphic information is supplied (2) to the user terminals (3) in a manner integrated with the telematic services. The information is supplied after the selection of the preselected command from a command menu, and the formulation, still operating by selection, of the whole requirement, the transmission of which enables the system to produce the graphic advertising insertion associated with the retrieveal effected. The proposed application has been developed for use in the supply of telematic services such as data banks, Electronic Yellow Pages, home banking, electronic mail and the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A method for the integrated supply of telematic services and graphic information to user terminals (3), characterised in that it comprises the steps of: - providing at least one source of telematic services (9; 6, 23, 24) which can generte the information messages, - providing at network (4) for linking the user terminals (3) to the source of telematic services (9), the network (4) enabling the transmission of information messages from the source of telematic services (9) to the user terminal (3); - providing each user terminal (3) with a graphics function (41) capable of generating particular non-elementary image components on a screen (31) in dependence on respective display command messages which can be transmitted through the network in the same way as the information messages, - providing at least one source of graphic information (25 to 27) in the form of a data bank of the respective command messages, and - supplying the graphic information from the source to the user terminals (3) through the network (4) by the supply of command messages held in the data bank, the graphic information being supplied concomitantly with the supply of the information messages.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
192 words
A method for the integrated supply of telematic services and graphic information to user terminals (3), characterised in that it comprises the steps of: - providing at least one source of telematic services (9; 6, 23, 24) which can generte the information messages, - providing at network (4) for linking the user terminals (3) to the source of telematic services (9), the network (4) enabling the transmission of information messages from the source of telematic services (9) to the user terminal (3); - providing each user terminal (3) with a graphics function (41) capable of generating particular non-elementary image components on a screen (31) in dependence on respective display command messages which can be transmitted through the network in the same way as the information messages, - providing at least one source of graphic information (25 to 27) in the form of a data bank of the respective command messages, and - supplying the graphic information from the source to the user terminals (3) through the network (4) by the supply of command messages held in the data bank, the graphic information being supplied concomitantly with the supply of the information messages.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
73 words
A method according to Claim 1, characterised in that it includes the steps of: - associating at least some (24) of the information messages with respective sets (27) of command messages, each set including command messages which can produce a respective graphic message on the screens of the user terminals (3), and - supplying the information messages through the network (4) with the simultaneous supply of the set of command messages associated therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
87 words
A method according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, characterized in that it includes the step of providing at least some of the user terminals (3) with a function (43) for the local generation of respective sets of display-command messages generated by the user, each set comprising command messages which can produce a respective user-generated graphic message on the screens of the user terminals (3), and - providing means (26) for storing the sets of user-generated command messages within the at least one source of graphic information.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method according to Claim 3, characterised in that it includes the step of displaying (29) the sets of user-generated command messages after their receipt by the storage means (26) provided within the at least one graphic information source.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
52 words
A method according to any one of Claims 1 to 4, characterised in that it includes the step of measuring (12) the duration of the periods for which each user terminal (3) is connected to the network (4) with at least two different counting rates for different telematic or graphic information services.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
151 words
A system for the integrated supply of telematic and graphic information services to user terminals, characterised in that it comprises: - at least one source of telematic services (9; 6, 23, 24) which can generate information messages, - a network (4) for connecting the user terminals (3) to the source of telematic services (9), the network (4) enabling the transmission of the information messages, - for each user terminal (3), graphics display means (41) for generating particular non-elementary image components on a screen (31) in dependence on respective display command messages, which can be transmitted through the network in the same way as the information messages; - at least one source of graphic information (25 to 27) containing a data bank of the command messages, and - transmission means for the concomitant transmission of the information messages and the display command messages through the network (4) to the user terminals (3).
